Leopold and the others had always known that this time it was a cooperation among three fortresses! Only together could they fully repel the beast tide.
Otherwise, if any one of the fortresses fell, the other two would be vulnerable from both front and back!
So, no matter what, they had to ensure that both they and their allies were in a safe state.
However, for some reason, they had been unable to make contact previously, even Archibald, who had the authority of a commander, couldn't reach the commanders of the other fortresses.
It was unclear whether the other side had yet to appoint their commanders, or if they were currently being prevented from making contact.
"No, not..." Archibald's tone was somewhat dry.
He didn't know quite how to explain.
The good news was that, without having contacted the second and third fortresses, they had found an ally.
The bad news? Their ally was a group of... monkeys??
