"I've decided to take all the soldiers who want to leave here and depart with the All-Knowing Tower," Zilvra finally said. "Although the terrain here is conducive to defense, it's also like a trap. If Lynch were here, his spells might solve all the problems before us. But now, we are faced with the issue of preserving our fighting strength."
"No matter where you escape to, you'll ultimately face the Serpent Army. There's no safe place left in the world," Morgan said.
"But I can rally these battered troops instead of sending them to their deaths pointlessly!" Zilvra said loudly. "The Five Realms Fortress is no longer a safe place. If we keep everyone here waiting for failure, it will be not just Pate's failure, but a failure for the entire continent. The news from Yilinrui, the Elf Kingdom has already defeated the Demon Statue Army and can offer a temporary refuge. If we don't retreat..."
"I'm afraid we can't leave here."
