Drumph's words were extremely solemn, deeply moving all the members of Morning Star.
Yet their emotional reaction did nothing to change the dire circumstances they faced.
Everyone's expressions remained grave.
At this moment, Luca finally spoke up.
"This isn't the time to say our final goodbyes. The monster horde this time is undeniably powerful. The outer defenses of Imperial Capital certainly won't hold much longer. Even if you fought to your deaths here, it wouldn't change the overall situation."
Drumph understood exactly what Luca meant. However, to ensure his subordinates clearly grasped it too, he deliberately asked,
"What exactly are you suggesting? Are you saying we should retreat to the core of Imperial Capital?"
"We don't need to retreat that far! We only need to fall back to the edges of Imperial Capital's urban district. We can rely on the defensive structures there and continue fighting."
