"He is not an enemy!" Gracia raised his hand, stopping the elf's army with just a simple gesture, "He is Goddess Lunea's guest!"
General Sione also hesitated. Even though Goddess Lunea was a human, the elves worshiped her just like they worshiped The World Tree. In fact, some people believed more in Goddess Lunea than the World Tree for the fact of her presence, protecting them with the barrier she set up.
General Sione was one of them. The reason he came here was under The King's command, telling him an enemy managed to pass by their frontline. They came to protect the temple, thinking The Clown Troupe managed to breach their defense.
But Exalted Priest Gracia told them that this creature was The Goddess' guest. That made him hesitate to make a move.
