Korvath's expression shifted a few times.
He still didn't fully trust Ethan, but the blood spilling on the distant battlefield was proof enough. Emerald Castle's charge wasn't holding back, and the old man's army, shocked and furious, struck back immediately.
The first time the two sides slammed together, dozens of bodies dropped from the sky.
That wasn't acting.
Korvath didn't hesitate any longer. He turned and barked orders into the city.
A gap opened in the city's protective barrier, and the garrison surged out. Warriors who'd been stationed on the walls leapt down from above, energy weapons flaring one after another, following Korvath as they carved into the battlefield from the other side.
The moment Korvath's people joined, the balance tipped completely.
Emerald Castle pressed head-on. Korvath's troops ripped the line from the flank. Together, the two forces closed like iron jaws, clamping down hard on the old man's army.
