When it was time for Thoren's departure, they departed from the estate and arrived at the Suncrest City defense line.
The defense base was undergoing reconstruction. Many places still bore the marks and claws of the Beast Tide battle.
Walls were cracked.
Towers leaned at dangerous angles and the ground was scarred with deep gouges where monstrous claws had torn through stone and earth.
Soldiers moved among the rubble, hauling debris and rebuilding what had been destroyed. The air smelled of dust and blood.
However, when news of Thoren's arrival reached the General and all the commanders, they all came out of their offices.
Even those who were injured left their beds and came to send him off.
The Governor had tried to keep the news of what happened in the Muster Ground underground facilities hidden. But the news still managed to escape to the public.
