The sudden turn of events threw the area near the Greenwood Gate into total chaos as the charging Ebon Blade knights clearly had never spoken with the nearby sentries before, and the latter's reaction was slow, and that gave Hao Ren the chance to break out.
The originally disguised 'magic caravans' suddenly exploded into a speed not expected for a vehicle of their type as the three carriages accelerated and charged towards the raised barricade and the gathering guards. The personal guards masquerading as merchants quickly dropped their guise and drew their weapons as they engaged the blades and spears from all directions.
A loud crash rang out as the barricade was smashed by the carriage into splinters while the guards by the side of the road were sent tumbling.
"Shut the gates! Lower the barriers!"
