It\u2019s much bigger than anything they\u2019ve seen so far. While they have a singular purpose &#8211; to defeat Negan &#8211; it won\u2019t come easy. More importantly, victory will require more than Alexandria. They need the numbers of the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but, similar to how Rick felt, Ezekiel (<strong>Khary Payton<\/strong>) and Gregory (<strong>Xander Berkeley<\/strong>)<\/p>\n<p>do not want bloodshed. To convince them otherwise will take more than speeches. The lengths Rick and the group will have to go to in order to find weapons, food and new fighters is nothing short of remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll meet new survivors in incredible places.
