The two streaks of light that followed behind the Third Elder were Draco and the Fifth Elder, whose name was Axel.
The patriarch had ordered them to provide backup to him, as he was unwilling to let the recently healed Third elder enter a Blood Moon battle alone.
As the third elder crossed the city gates and stepped onto the battlefield, he was taken aback by the scene before him.
The human mages were losing terribly; and it seemed as if they were merely playing a game of survival, desperately hoping for the Blood Moon to wane so they could find respite.
There was no real offensive push— only the city guard’s mages were actively countering the goblin onslaught.
Observing the struggle of the low rank mages, he realized that even if they managed to survive the Blood Moon with their current tactics, their future was bleak.
