Dawn was long gone. Tyrall stood in the town square and looked out over the people who streamed in through the gates of Adirat.
- Those were the last ones, your majesty.
The general said and looked over the wall as a family passed through the gate.
- Are you sure Haloz?
- I can send a patrol to search the nearest area if you wish.
- Do that. When the gords come, I want the people inside the city. Our best chance of survival is here. Have we gotten any more news from the guards about them?
- No, your majesty. There is no sign of the gords yet so we still have time.
- Give your men an hour outside the city.
- As you wish, your majesty.
Haloz hurried away towards the soldiers when a loud shout from a guard stopped his steps.
- Rider! Rider incoming. It's one of the scouts.
