But Gus's courage was even greater.
At a critical moment, Gus made an incredibly bold decision: to voluntarily abandon the Dragon's Nest, giving up this fortress that had already fallen during the First Double Flame War and had been severely damaged, with diminished strategic value.
He concentrated all forces back to the Scholar's Fortress. No matter what, they absolutely must not let President Beiru truly divide the Magic Guild's forces into two isolated parts.
Thus, President Beiru redirected his forces and moved into the Dragon's Nest accordingly.
He joined forces with Peter, the First Knight and Beiru's professional partner.
All of this happened within just two days.
No matter how you look at it, the Magic Guild's side took a major loss.
