With Grim leading the charge, the battle at the eastern gate soon ended. No one could expect these poorly equipped Easterling soldiers to show much fighting spirit in the face of a giant bear, especially when Rabat had never once appeared before this cannon fodder. The authority of a few Easterling captains alone could not keep them fighting.
The battles at the southern and western gates ended just as quickly. Allen had sent twenty Gryphon Knights to the western gate.
