Looking at the wretched state of the east and west gates of the castle, it was clear the two could not be saved anymore. With the elven magus leaving centered on the main gate facing south, the high elves were increasingly unable to maintain their position. Wolves continued to arrive from all directions in large numbers, while those who were still able to fight were only numbered in mere pitiful 28.
Because there were no more people defending the gate as such a task was simply not possible, eventually, the gate was broken by the relentless assault of the wolves who immediately scrambled to enter the castle's wide courtyard. In that courtyard, the dark elf princess, Illiana, the high elven elders, as well as the remaining high elves were already preparing to exert and unleash all their strength in order to prevent the wolves from entering the castle.
BANG!
BAMM!
