The six elders of the Storm Cradle sect had been divided equally and had been sent to the two districts in danger. They had each garrisoned a building that housed the rapid-fire turrets, which meant that the elders paid attention to all of the directions in the district. They also gave direct orders to those who manned the rapid-fire turrets.
The people manning the turrets were free to fire at any target of their choosing which was usually the arrears with the highest density of beasts. Only on a few occasions when the elders think they might have discovered a hiding warrior realm beast would they be asked to focus fire on the beast's location.
