No matter what calculations the Shadow Master has, there's no turning back for him.
It's estimated that the news of his betrayal to the Shadow Master Guild has already reached its roots. More Shadow Assassins could come looking for him anytime, and if necessary, the Shadow Master might act personally.
"You yourself said it, it's the Fruit of Victory, not the Fruit of Failure, provided there is hope for victory."
Gaven agreed with Palado's analysis and further presented his viewpoint, "Even if we successfully enlist the help of Lady Strategy, she can at most help us block Khan Yamen, preventing him from directly destroying Tavelan's city defenses and letting his army invade Tavelan."
There's no way to block the entire Tukan Army. This army, mixed with Tukan Cavalry and the Undead, requires us to find ways to withstand it ourselves. This is not an easy task, considering their numbers are double that of Tavelan's entire military and civilian population.
