"Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye." — Helen Keller
Facing the large group of players, Paul was somewhat stunned, for there was the group of 14 they killed earlier, and this decently large group within such a small radius was not common.
Having located Holly and Irene, Paul realized that the large group of Crimson Covenant was closing in, their arrival imminent within the next 30 seconds.
Seeing their faces, he knew that the two of them had some confidence in winning the fight, something Paul knew was impossible unless they stood still and let themselves be killed.
Looking back at the surroundings, he came up with a plan quickly.
"We will split up; I will climb up to the west and run away, leading them away, and you two escape south. Once I die, you guys can slowly make your way towards me and revive me after a short period."
