The sentries shared an uncertain look. They didn't like the idea of Darius coming here because it meant one of two things.
Either these two had come here to take control of them - to use them as footsoldiers for the major battles up ahead where the other Adept were - together with those who had followed them, or the duo planned to use their camp as a resting place while amassing points themselves.
Neither of these options was acceptable. The first meant that they would become exactly what they feared, mere tactical cannon fodder for the stronger ones to proceed with ease.
If it hadn't been for their united stand that they had come here for points, insisting that they wanted nothing to do with the main reward, they might have been forcefully dragged along.
A bloke like Darius who was so young and so powerful was bound to have a powerful background, which they could not afford to ignore, forcing them to do his bidding.
