Jash had heard that same thing many times over. So he didn't argue with Dedric, especially while Jash was busy watching the assistant generals do battle.
Dedric's attention was mostly on the crowd, on the growing crowd, on the other hand.
Not only did the chateau disciples make up the majority of the spectators but armored troops with the Lightning Chateau insignia were now spreading through the spectators. Considering the circumstances, Dedric couldn't be more suspicious.
"Be ready to act at a moment's notice."
That hushed warning brought Jash's attention to the crowd as well. He thought the same thing as Dedric. Seeing armored disciples only proved that the precautions of the masked guards were just. And Jash was pissed that he was going to miss watching battles of evolved perimeters!
