War (8)

"Not everything that shines is gold… the humans will learn this today," Rain thought when he stopped moving.

The army of magic people seemed to be at least the same size as the humans… if they had a lot of quicksand executioners, then the walls wouldn't help that much. Things would be different if the humans had time to take over the city and reinforce the walls, but that wasn't the case.

"I get it now… they made the walls of the city hard for us to take, but they should have some countermeasures for that…" Rain thought.

Without wasting time, Rain returned to the others and informed them what he found out. The enemies will arrive in less than half an hour… and that the whole thing truly had been a trap. While the humans were expanding their territory in the city, the enemies weren't trying hard to fight them. When Revan confirmed that and saw the enemies from the top of the wall, he realized that he didn't have time to deal with Branden and his crazy actions.
