"Grand Elder!" Lord Viperbane commanded sharply. What are you dawdling for at such a time?
"You lead the assault, and I’ll breach their defenses!" The Grand Elder, hands clasped behind his back, gestured toward the forest edge, where mighty champions from the three factions lay hidden. There was no time for caution. Alavin had to be taken amidst the chaos, for with each moment, the endeavor grew more complicated, and the opportunity to claim Alavin shrank. Moreover, the Grand Elder could not bear the thought of being mocked in front of all the Northlands' champions. They had to capture Alavin and withdraw swiftly.
Neasilis and his companions emerged, bursting from the forest into the wilderness, charging toward the Stormcast with ferocious speed.
"It begins!" Spectators from afar, eager to take advantage of the situation, anticipated their chance to gain an easy prize.
"I'll see who dares come within a step of the Stormcast!" Jarad stood defiant above the city gates, as the clouds churned violently above, like a river of blood winding through the sky, a terrifying sight that chilled the bravest of hearts.
"Grand Elder, make it quick and decisive. I’ll try to hold him off," Lord Viperbane, strong and domineering, was confident he could entangle Jarad. It would not take long to finish this.
"Breach, slay, and find Alavin," the Grand Elder commanded loudly, locking eyes with Commander Kashann from afar, his fighting spirit blazing. Behind him in the wilderness, Neasilis and his companions accelerated, their inner magic surging and their auras dazzling. They unleashed tremendous energy, streaking across the wilderness like lightning.
These were powerful Master Mages, over fifty strong, and even if an Archmage would emerge from Stormcast, they believed they could destroy the city, slaughter its inhabitants, and force the Mallister family to surrender Alavin.
"Will you simply watch, or are you goting to seize the Kings' Acceptance?" Commander Kashann, severely wounded, could not withstand the Grand Elder's onslaught and sought help from the distant Floral Enchantress Commander.
The Floral Enchantress Commander remained impassive, her thoughts and intentions inscrutable.
"Slay!" Lord Viperbane, sensing the Floral Enchantress Commander's hesitation, launched a fierce attack, unleashing a tidal wave of combat prowess against Jarad.
"Slay!" The Grand Elder charged at Commander Kashann.
