As the war inside the mountain kicked into full gear, Velmira was left with a difficult decision to make.
Lord Idriss told her one thing: Do as you like.
He knew that her situation was too unfavorable... Her troops were made up of newbies and Junior Daywalkers from other agencies.
Twenty vs three hundred... But in her eyes, it was barely ten vs three hundred.
"I know you are obliged by contract to remain in your posts and defend the entrance. But I am not cruel to order you to fight a losing battle," Velmira uttered sternly. "Anyone is free to leave..."
Then, she turned around and summoned Peanut, wanting to intercept the ambushing army upfront all alone.
In her eyes, Seraphis's students were the future of the region, talented individuals with potential to break the toughest ceilings... It would be a shame if their life was extinguished here.
If she gave them a way out, she might as well give the others an out too.
