Tension kept rising for over eight days as the various forces of the nobles of the empires kept gathering at Gyro, the capital of the human settlement in the empire. Large numbers of elves and humans could be seen right outside the gates of Gyro waiting for further others from their superiors before making a move. Surprisingly the Lizardmen didn't send over any forces like the two other races, unlike the elves and the humans who had nobles and high ranking officials who can question their kings and leaders, there was nothing like that for the lizardmen. Only the lizardman chieftain holds absolute power and his words are obeyed without any delay! The fact that the lizardmen didn't send over anyone showed Ahika had no plans of getting himself involved in this conspiracy, after the last encounter with Derik and Cyrus, the Lizardman chief realized their words were true and it chose to ignore whatever is happening in the empire, as long as his race is not involved.
