Hao Ren soon received messages from Galadriel and Anthony: Odin's envoy had already done its job. Although the Twilight Guard and Wizard Corps were completely confused, they had nevertheless halted the fighting temporarily under the direct orders of the Steam Council. The two sides were now awkwardly facing off on the upper platform, while the Steam Council's reinforcements were cleaning up the aftermath.
