The legendary noble thought extensively about the possible enemies that might be working together to besiege his beloved city. What he thought of was not encouraging.
He couldn't what was going on exactly. The only thing he could say was, "If the undying godclad is the one and only enemy, I won't be surprised."
"In that case, the undying godclad must be trying to tire me out because there is nothing they can do against me. They can only take a beating."
He is hoping that the enemy will be the undying godclad in the energy spring because this whole thing will be easier for him to handle that way.
The competition between survival and achieving one's goal in a fight between legends is a dance. One wrong move and one can fall and be trampled on. So one must be cautious.
This need for caution is why the legends of the city didn't come out to defeat the beasts when they first breached the wall and watched so many people get killed by the vine plants.
