Vacuse frowned as he watched the illusory light close up around his fake figure. After he realized that the Black Accord must have lured Rhydian out so they could set up a two-way trap.
One to attack Vacuse, and if that worked then no problem. The other to breach the fortress in the absence of the High Commander, since all fortress defenses are keyed to him.
But when he told Rhydian, the man had simply shaken his head and said there was no way for the fortress to be breached.
That meant the trap would be laid before they reached the fortress. They had intentionally walked into the trap so they might have the chance to get a Black Accord member.
"That illusion... it's from a member of the Black Accord, alright."
They watched the scene without doing anything.
Kagerou shifted. "Are we... going to do anything?"
Vacuse shook his head. "Yes. We watch. Captain Mera is in there."
