Mawala Island was less than 10 kilometers long and most of it was used as a farm for trees and magic plants, so there were few buildings on the whole island. This was a resource colony and being in the middle of the ocean, there weren't many enemies that could threaten them and the island's defenses were minimal.
Only a few dozen mages were on the island, with a few hundred slaves of different species for the manual labor needed to maintain the crops.
The guild masters continued to watch the landscape for a few minutes, before some shadows could be seen approaching on the horizon. The shadows quickly became visible and they realized they were ships, but they were a strange model.
The ships were extraordinarily large, nearly two hundred meters long each. The ships had no sails and were not enchanted, relying on the strength of the crew to sail. Even so, they were moving so fast that they seemed to be flying.
