Whoosh!
The chaos escalated, with no one responding.
This Rebecca, as always, was tough—was she really ready to perish along with everyone else over this?
"Normally speaking, Lyss City's team should be on their way back by now. I think we should immediately arrange for the cavalry to pursue them along the route and bring Rebecca back," a council member finally spoke up loudly.
"Right, contacting Lyss City is useless, they should be on the road now."
"Yes, yes, quickly deploy the troops to capture her."
Dordy nodded and immediately ordered the cavalry to start chasing the Lyss City convoy.
But within, his heart had already sunk.
They were out of time.
The Blood Clan could attack the fortress at any moment, and with the current defense force, they simply couldn't hold it.
Perhaps they should retreat, abandon this city, and fall back to the next one to reorganize the defense.
Time, they needed time.
After no member of the council proposed any significantly better ideas.
