The Mithril Alliance in particular was in a terrible predicament, unlike the members of the other teams who were all in high spirits. Even though the wounded had all been treated, they were still pale, and had no idea if they could continue walking.
After looking at the situation of the members of his own team, Joseph was incredibly distressed. Given their current predicament, they would probably face a terrible end during the expedition, even if the President of the Tower of Dusk did not attack them. It seemed that he really couldn't hesitate any longer.
In fact, at this time, the several patriarchs of the Mithril Alliance, including the elders of Joseph's family, were already looking at Joseph in a somewhat hostile manner. If Joseph still refused to do anything, they would probably rush to suck up to Lin Li. By that time, they would naturally push all the blame to Joseph.
