Because the battle did not appear to be ending soon, Lira, with the remaining high-ranking officers under Gael and Ingrid not participating in the battle, gathered in a makeshift tent to discuss their next course of action.
Inside the tent, empty boxes of supplies were lined together to form a makeshift table. On top of it was a map filled with lines and marks indicating the positions of their people and the emperor's army. The markings on the map had two distinct colors. Lira's side was blue, while red represented the emperor's.
From above, it was obvious that the red marking was outnumbered and was gathered at the center. A huge black X was at the center of the red markings with a question mark on the side. It was the location they presumed to be where the emperor was at.
