As long as they dared to abandon the people of this city, they would have to be prepared to be hunted down by the Queen at any time.
"City Lord, why are you still thinking? The demons are already at our door. If we don't leave now, we'll die!"
"That's right. The Queen didn't send any reinforcements. Isn't she forcing us to die?"
"Yeah. How can you blame us for this? Even if those commoners died, it was because the Queen was incompetent!"
Everyone tried to find reasons and excuses to comfort themselves.
As they convinced themselves, they also convinced everyone present.
The City Lord pondered.
If they defended the city now, they would die, but if they abandoned the city, they might also die.
If there were many deserters, even if the Queen were to do a reckoning in the future, she would have to look for them one by one.
