The Sect Master of the Almeixei Sect looked on helplessly as a group of Supremes advanced toward him.
"Sect Leader, don’t you think it’s a bit heavy-handed to deny us the right to support our allies?
You might be the strongest of us, and the strongest Clan in the region, but you’re not the match for all of us. We have our alliances, and we’re going to go assist the Templars in their effort to restore the proper state of things."
"Fine, if that is what you want, but be aware that if you enter, I will also let the allies of the New Home Clan enter. The Almeixei Sect is allied with both sides of this conflict, and as such will be sitting out this battle."
There was immense potential in the imminent devastation of the region, he decided.
If all these Clans lost powerful members, or even a few of their Clan Leaders, he could lead his force to take over even more territory, establishing branch offices of the Sect all over the region.
It wasn’t on his strategic checklist of Sect goals for this decade, but if the opportunity was so forcefully presented to him, there was no reason for him not to.
The Clan Leaders raised their hands, and made a "forward" gesture toward their troops, then vanished off into the distance, leaving the Almeixei Sect Leader behind.
"Well Nerissa, you crazy woman, I hope that you have a plan for this because your allies are not on the stronger side of this force," he muttered, then returned to watching the defensive line.
At the very least, he could keep out the leeches who just wanted to settle vendettas.
On the battlefield, Rae smiled as her Blood Destruction skill gave her dozens more Immortal Rank Golems. The bonuses they were getting had turned them into an unstoppable force, and the pure terror on the faces of the Templars when their own allies died then turned on them was worth every bit of effort needed to ensure that [Blood Destruction] got the last hit.
While the fact that she couldn’t finish them with a stab or three was annoying, the Golems were getting such a great response that she couldn’t resist.
Then, a whole wave of new people started to arrive.
They all had blue armbands on, marking their allegiance to someone. But Rae had no idea whose side they were on until they started to assist the Templars.
That meant...
"Hello, new friends. Would you like to join my art exhibition? I call it Templars on ice."
The group of Immortals in front of her looked confused for a second, Then Thor activated [Bulwark] using the Ice Element under their feet, turning the whole area into a skating rink.
Rae’s spiked legs easily dug into the slick surface, and she charged with her Golems, before vanishing into an incorporeal form to begin the real attack.
Blood flew from the back ranks of the newcomers as they realized this battle was not what it seemed.
While they should have had the superior numbers, crushing the New Home Clan nearly five to one, the Newbies were fighting like they were possessed, and even their youngest members were taking down fighters far above their own Rank.
