Grey and Cassian were the last to leave the manor. By the time they left the manor and arrived at the city wall, the general was just rounding up his speech.
Grey looked at the thousands of riled up soldiers and then at the black swarm approaching them. His eyes turned cold at the thought of the soldiers who would not be able to return to their families no matter what the result of this battle turned out to be. The only thing he could do to minimize the death was to make sure they killed off the two Peak Sovereign Gnomes.
The thought of trying to assassinate either of the two Peak Sovereigns crossed his mind during his cultivation time at the manor, but he decided against it as there was a possibility of him failing and the army suffering the consequences if the Gnomes were provoked to attack sooner. At least now they were able to get more help compared to two days ago.
