THE shuttle that Wulfric and Edmund where in, landed on a mountain. Edmund actually barely even managed to do that because there's barely any energy fuel left in the tank of the shuttle. That's why after entering the planet's atmosphere, he made the shuttle land on the closest and tallest place he could find. Thus, the mountain.
Edmund was just glad that his driving skill was good or else they might not be able to land safely. What would happen to them then? If they sustained serious injuries and wasn't able to get immediate treatment, the injuries might become permanent. But knowing the general, he probably wouldn't get any serious injuries even if he fell from such a tall height. Then wouldn't that mean that he would be the only one injured? He let out a sigh of relief. It's really good thing that he had a superb driving skill.
