"Yes, but it's under the control of the rebels. They wield the Undead Scepter and command the Undead guards to besiege the City Lord." Nevin replied.
Durken and Silver Coin exchanged glances. It seems they're afraid of exactly what is happening now; any shift of power in one place could potentially spark a fight. Among so many cities, a few Scepters are bound to fall into the hands of those with ambition.
"Why did you think of coming here to borrow troops? How many undead guards do you need to gain an advantage? How many undead guards does the other side have?" Silver Coin asked.
Nevin said: "In our patrol route, Rapids Fortress is the most orderly place and it's also the closest to Iron Sand City. There should be extra Undead guards that can be deployed. Rapids Fortress, located on a mountain, is easy to defend. Deploying a portion of your forces won't endanger your safety."
