(Mannimarco is currently within the City, and was thrown onto the streets below after Torene killed his steed. The Necromancer knows very well that he won't survive if he stays behind the walls, or at least, not without help. He's calling his summons to him, and as they pour over the battlements via siege tower, they begin to become desperate to serve him and protect him and lose what little regard for their own lives they had, and will do anything to get down to the wall.

While the Necromancer has great arcane prowess, he lacks true swordsmanship skills and dealing with small groups of quick-moving enemies will be more difficult for him than shooting archers and mages off the walls or raining down lightning bolts on large clusters of infantry. He is also steedless and will probably only run if he has to, as he knows it will probably be harder to flee and block attacks than it will be to stand his ground and wait for his armies to finally overtake the defending forces.)
