Silver contemplated the offer, his mind wrestling with the possibilities and consequences. The weight of the decision bore down on him, and he knew that the path he chose could reshape the fate of the Crimson Corps and, ultimately, his own destiny.

Lyle nodded, acknowledging the pragmatism in Silver's words. "Agreed. This alliance serves both our interests. Now, let us swear an oath to bind our words."
