"Sorry, but with the current situation, only those people can do it. I already sent a person to seek help from the city lord, but it will come late if they ever send someone. We need to survive tonight's dilemma first…" the mayor said in a dejected tone. He continued saying after a short pause, "I also can't assemble an army of hundred townguards to send them into their demise. Moreover, the town no longer had that many soldiers left. Many died in last night's attack," the mayor added while glancing at Abel.

Jem understood what the mayor meant. To put it simply, if they wanted to prevent a fate of becoming the monster's meal tonight, now is their only chance to counter them. They needed to enter the entrance and cleared the dungeons before it happened.
