Amassing an army of over a million-strong in three days would have been very difficult, even in Qin. The Cloudflow people had never seen any great disasters, were comparatively wealthy, less well-equipped, and less disciplined, after all. Being able to organize such a retaliatory force had been a miracle.
The Baldur's Gate was secretly being set up over 100 kilometers from the more lavish gate as well. Jason was the one that was placed in charge.
The Cloudflow scouts had, without a doubt, seen the Baldur's Gate, but they were quickly chased off by mages from Metatrin City after trying to approach it. Jason was not so prideful as to want to take on the problem all on his own. He sent letters to nobles of the Cloudflow Empire instead, telling them that he would provide support both in equipment and in troops.
Saleen's ancient warriors, star figures, and puppet legions were all standing by within the Baldur's Gate.
