With the Count's absence from the front and Jack busy trying to push the enemy to a single location, Sky Heaven and Count's forces are slowly being pushed toward the wall.
Their momentum from shoving the enemy away vanished.
Lina immediately has Sally and Lite retreat. While Aliyah is still busy with the Captain of Count's forces looking for a bloodthirsty swordswoman. Angel on the other hand is inside the town trying her best to heal all the wounded while being guarded by Lex.
Looking back, the plan they have is not to drag the battle and seize opportunities that can give safe passage to residents.
Lina was pained when he heard from the Count himself that there is no hope of defending the town. Everything is lost from the beginning.
After his visit from the Adventurer Guild, he noticed the Count's demeanor changed from being optimistic to hopeless.
