"I haven't decided on the exact course of action yet. I'll come to you once I've done more probing and devised a plan."
Duke Baladin nodded solemnly, "I understand, Lord Cao Xing."
"During this time, I will quickly recover more strength and recruit more undead!"
"If you need me, you can come to the underground palace at any time."
"If you can truly lead us to survive the impact of the Bloody Army and establish a powerful undead army,"
"Then, I, Baladin, swear here that I will lead the entire Ascalon Undead to fight for you till the end!"
Upon hearing this last promise, Cao Xing straightened up.
He said earnestly, "Good! Lord Baladin, I believe in your promise."
"Now, we shall take our leave."
Baladin nodded firmly.
With that said, Cao Xing turned around and left the palace with Renice, Sarah, and Robin.
Then he confidently made his way to the Eternal Hope Hall, heading towards the tunnel.
…
…
After Cao Xing and the others had left.
