"I am going to report to my allies what happened," Cresta said. "So, you guys will have a few days to think of your decision. Don't worry. The other elves will soon join you."
"Do we have another option?" Rina asked.
"Actually, yes," Cresta said. "By joining us, at least for a while, your species will be put in a lot of danger. You might be targeted by all the remaining four of the overlords. That might be your end… so I will give you another option. Don't interfere with the battle and save your forces. However, we will get all the magic wood."
It seemed like Cresta was being quite understanding regarding their situation, but she was being calculating as well. Now that the enemies had lost one of them, her side had the upper hand. The enemies had two options, go all out and try to win no matter what when they were outnumbered or retreat and leave the planet. The chances of her group were good in both scenarios.
