The array formation placed on the courtyard was clearly very dangerous, but City Lord Vaughn had a good grasp over it and with his help, they managed to crack the array after only about an hour. Everyone looked at the array formation with dread, even Grey had a look of fear in his eyes.
If he had recklessly charged into the courtyard and was caught by this array, there's a good chance that he wouldn't have made it out alive. The realization of this made him a little scared.
The group didn't immediately step into the courtyard after they cracked the formation, rather, they stayed outside the courtyard and regained their used up energy. Given how dangerous the array formation was, when the City Lord suggested they took a short rest before continuing, none of them argued.
