"What?!"
Rick, the Captain sent by the Capital along with approximately three hundred reinforcements was taken aback.
"Did the Ylem Empire ambush the Count's reinforcement, pretending to give them safe passage to gain their trust?"
Then the knights relay what had happened as instructed by Captain Slick.
Rick was in disbelief as he ponder. It really escalated to this. How long have they prepared for this war?
His trains of thought halted when they heard explosion after explosion and the clamoring of metals.
Rick immediately turns around.
"Two of you, return to Capital City immediately and report to His Majesty that the Ylem Empire won't stop at anything until West Town is nothing and become rubble."
"The rest of you, arm yourselves. We will go to war!"
With that, Rick hops on his horse and nudge to charge forward and the two hundred Knights, seventy Mages, and thirty healers followed through.
Outside the walls of West Town.
