"I think we can still hold on."
Maxim pondered for a moment and said:
"Shadow Valley can hold on a little longer; at the most optimistic estimate, we can hold for at least another week. This way, our defense in the Desolate Mountain War Zone will break through twenty days, and the players have set a goal of thirty days for themselves.
To be honest, I don't think they will want to retreat willingly. Their fighting enthusiasm remains intense and high, even motivating the other defending forces.
The fighting in the tunnels is still ongoing. Even if the main force retreats, we can leave warriors and some elite soldiers to continue the fight. The strategic line of communication at Blackflame Mountain Pass is something we absolutely cannot abandon."
