William had cleared the remaining four towers very quickly. In fact, there wasn't even a wizard in the last tower at the south gate. William thought that the bright light that appeared on the battlefield was most likely caused by the wizard who was supposed to be here. When he cleared the last tower, his father's men had also begun to clear the city.

In the last tower, he encountered twenty of those soldiers. He had learned from them that they had won the battle at the eastern gate, and then had gone towards the palace with his grandfather Thedo's army. He quickly reached the palace by jumping from the rooftops, taking on the role of a scout himself to warn them early of any danger.
