Jack's Interference

"Torian!" An anger-filled shout rang within Torian's mind. "Hurry back, NOW!"

"But I must--"

"Lyrun was slain! KILL MORANTI NOW!"

As Halmut ended the connection, Torian immediately turned around and rushed back to the other battlefields. Halmut's roar was enough to bring him back to his senses, let alone the mention of Lyrun's death. Such a thing could cause their entire side to lose in a matter of minutes. Without Lyrun's support and with Moranti feeling less pressured, there was no telling what would happen. 

The Thundering God then realized what Jack's plan was. To stall and separate Torian from the others.
