[Alexander: What are the odds?]
Alexander was clearly tempted. Being the first to ask about the success rate betrayed his excitement. Even if the Clown and the Witch were only avatars, destroying them would be incredibly satisfying.
[Edward: The odds are high.]
[Edward: But for us, it's a strategic blunder.]
As the Deputy Commander, Edward remained the voice of cold reason.
[Edward: If we burn resources wiping out this Cult detachment, we're just doing the Sea Race a favor. We give them room to breathe. Once we recover, we'll just be facing a stronger Sea Race.]
[Edward: Killing the Clown now means throwing away our leverage. We need the Cult of Four to grind the Sea Race down.]
[Edward: In short: we'd be using brute force to fight two wars back-to-back, instead of letting our enemies destroy each other.]
