Present at General Hill's speech was the near entire force of the Windardian Nationalists. Some were inspired by his speech, but many more were reluctant to follow the General. Among them was Colonel Atric Lezel, hero of the Battle of Buyov's Pass recently promoted due to his actions there. Through the mumbles of the crowd, Lezel shouted "Tell me why we should follow you, and not our brother Samilo Ezrael!" With that, the crowd erupted into a roar of agreement. "Come down here and tell me face to face" Lezel shouts, to which the crowd gets even louder. The crowd chants for General Hill to come amongst the crowd to meet their esteemed Colonel Lezel.
