Merlin waited outside the Strix City with thousands of people behind him. Isabella and threw other mages floated around him.
They were all waiting for Khali and his team, the sun was going to rise in about half an hour.
They chose this time specifically because besides mages most people would've ran back to theory houses by now.
Even mages wouldn't necessarily stand outside when the sun rises for no reason at all.
However they were starting to get nervous, some were even thinking about going back before it's too late.
Just as Merlin was about to use the radio to ask what's happening they saw multiple light shining through the sky.
This terrified everybody but Merlin assured them everything was fine. He pretended to act cool but even he was shaken.
He was looking at three pitch black behemoths, the three ships lowered themselves, three giant metallic legs came out from below each of them.
