"Sir, I've got the report from the scouts."
"Come in," ordered General Toms. "What are we dealing with?"
"Sir, the majority of the fire is made up of illusions, but we still can't underestimate things. Within the illusions are real patches of white fire, and those are spreading as we speak. If nothing is done, the fire should spread across the entirety of the city walls within a day," reported the captain.
"Hmmm… So, where is the safest place to breakthrough the flames?" asked Toms.
"The largest remaining gap is to the Northeast," explained the captain. "The flames to the west are the strongest and to the east are the weakest."
"How long till that gap closes?"
"The scouts estimated three hours at most, but it could likely close within the hour."
