Things Are Getting Complicated
It was expected that after all this killing, lots of monsters were still alive. So the battles kept going on, while the pinnacle masters urged the weaker and wounded ones to rush up to the stairs.
As for the masters surviving all this were about to get closer from the stairs, they abruptly stopped. They were shocked to see an army standing at the upper plateau, waiting for them.
They didn't get a choice in the first place. The army Lara gathered here was led by elder Stark. He made sure to gather all the pinnacle grade masters in the family, in addition to lots more dark gold masters as well.
Seeing such a grand gathering of strong masters, a fresh army who had the advantage of higher ground, the surviving masters knew their fate was set in stone.
It went without the need to ask that if they refused, then they'd be pincered from both sides. The formations here were under the control of William, and the latter looked as if he was truly working under the Vancouf family's banner.
