Revenge begins with gathering allies.
All those who escaped that day were now hidden within the Imperial City; not a single one had left. The messenger found them one by one using a unique communication method exclusive to the Ancient Mage Tower. These people were also having a tough time; some disguised themselves as beggars like the messenger, others moved directly into the sewers. Some even masqueraded as merchants, embarking on lives they were not all that familiar with.
There were not many who responded to the messenger's call for revenge, for they all understood that what happened here would surely alarm Long Yi. Even if he did not come now, it might be just a matter of time before he would, and once he appeared, no one would stand a chance of escape.
Of course, there were those who were not content. In the end, the messenger gathered a paltry team of thirty. Their goal was clear, destruction and revenge.
