Grey and the final group of warriors felt their vision blur for a fraction of a second. When the spatial light faded, solid stone formed beneath their feet. They stood inside the sealed mountaintop city.
The newly arrived Sovereigns moved quickly to join the forces already assembled. Grey walked straight toward the small cluster of figures waiting near the center of the compound. Reynolds and Conor stood with the Faction Leader and Mayor Zane.
The Faction Leader turned as Grey approached. "All set?"
Grey nodded once.
"Good." The Faction Leader's voice stayed low but firm. "Here's the plan. The two Necromancers are still inside the city. We surround them and kill them first. Only after they are dead do we move against the four outside. If we let those two live long enough to coordinate, the situation might become much harder."
The plan was simple and direct. No one offered objections. Grey remained silent; he saw no flaw worth commenting on.
