When the soldiers standing guard at the city gates saw what had happened, they had thought of holding back the crowd for inspection, but the situation was really too chaotic. On the streets which were now ablaze, residents were running around screaming for help; the crowd was in complete disarray, rushing about and causing the soldiers to be disorientated.
The guards were lacking manpower and were totally unable to control the situation.
"Hey! You guys... You guys, wait...!"
Suddenly, the captain of the City Guard attempted to pull at the mages who were rushing in.
"Wait for what? The fire is already so big, focus on the main threat instead!" Varys immediately pushed a wooden bucket into his hands and scolded him fiercely.
Temporarily shocked, the captain of the guard merely stood there dumbfounded as he watched them continue to run into the city.
