Emery joined the battle without hesitation, taking up a position near a watchtower along the northern cliffs. From there, he could observe the battlefield while keeping a safe distance from the fiercest clashes.
Below, millions of Scourge surged toward the fortified land bridge. Soldiers unleashed volleys of enchanted bolts and spells, while Grand Magus moved along the ramparts to intercept the stronger creatures breaking through the defensive lines.
Emery had no intention of risking his life unnecessarily. Valder's strange behavior still puzzled him, and the king might have a reason for bringing him here beyond testing his abilities. For now, he would help the defenders while keeping an eye on the king and the ongoing battle.
His attention frequently returned to the Supremes fighting in the distance.
