The news reached the four families faster than they had expected. Reports of the attack on the city wall and the sudden appearance of an unknown powerful figure quickly spread through their forces, and the family heads immediately contacted one another.
A communication crystal lit up in front of each family head, and their figures appeared inside the same space. Cedric Ambrose, Valen Halcrest, Garrick Cravik and Dorian Devine looked at one another through the crystal.
Their expressions were ugly and serious.
The silence was enough to tell them that the situation had changed.
Cedric Ambrose was the first to speak. His fingers pressed against the armrest as he looked at the others.
"So they finally made their move."
Garrick Cravik frowned deeply.
"They didn't even give us another chance to negotiate."
Valen Halcrest slowly shook his head.
"We should have expected this. They remained silent for an entire week, and now they have suddenly attacked the Capital."
