They had been fast, but not fast enough. In the minute it had taken them to realize that this was more than just a fight in the yard and organize a full squad, three of the seven Overlords were dead, and Hawk had begun the mass bombardment of the enemy Guild house, as well as their members in the streets.
Karl didn't relax his guarded position, though the surviving warriors of the Truelight Host Guild were lowering their blades.
"They came and challenged, then refused a duel by champions, insisting on a full-scale Guild War to annihilation." Karl insisted.
"And who called for reinforcements?" The Guard Captain demanded.
"I don't know what you mean. We've all been here since the start of the fight." Karl replied, and the four Overlords nodded in agreement.
None of them had called reinforcements, and the fight was on Guild House property, not in public.
[Hawk, stop the bombardment, I think we broke a rule.] Karl warned.
