Similar scenes of death and destruction were witnessed in the locations Layla's people attacked.
The defensive array the Courtenay Family set up around the Lumley Family's residence had already been destroyed, and members from both families with low mage levels fell victim as soon as Soll entered. Eoin and the other leaders of both families did everything in their capabilities to stop the latter's advance, but the more they resisted, the higher the casualties on their side piled up.
If Soll had not suddenly stopped his advance and let the Grand Masters with him deal with the rest, both the Courtenay and Lumley Families would have been wiped out.
When the Grand Masters and the Soll's two assistants took over, Eoin and the remaining members of both families found a chance to retreat into the Lumley Family's Ancestral Hall and regroup. As soon as they entered the hall, they activated its defensive array and were saved for the time being.
