Diyabannersa was trying to fool Saleen, but Saleen had already long decided to kill Diyabannersa. Once this king of spirit of the dead could no longer be controlled, Saleen would be in danger. It was only because of the Holy See's army that Saleen still needed to depend on these three fellows. Killing them now would do no good for the city's defense.
Saleen led some men to patrol the city and felt fortunate that his teacher had given him a diagram of the design of this city. Without Dante's Sequence and magic towers, even a thirty yard tall city wall would not be able to hold the Holy See's army back.
