"Thank you, Maharell." Gudora stated in praise, "You truly bear the demeanour as the leader of the merchant group."
Until now, no one could be called the leader of the merchants. But as the Crisis this time was truly dangerous, Gudora let out such a statement, recognising Maharell's contribution to the city.
This forced the rest of the merchants to come forth with their wealth in a bid to not lose to Maharell. It was Politics 101. Everyone knew it but they had no other choice but to participate, as avoiding to do so would implicate their growth and status in Ellora Trade City.
"Now, let's come up with a defensive plan." Gudora continued the meeting as everyone proposed various manoeuvres to protect the city the best.
At the same time, the soldiers of Ellora City were patrolling the streets in a hurry, unleashing waves of Prana everywhere.
