After repeated urging from the others, Maxwell finally agreed to rescue Julian.
"Since all of you want me to go save him, then I'll do it," Maxwell said firmly.
But then he shifted his tone.
"However, I expect you to finish your tasks once I leave. You must work with the Stellar Empire's army to bring down Withered Tree Fortress as soon as possible.
Yes, the outer walls of Withered Tree Fortress are already crumbling, but that might just be a trick. Don't let yourselves be fooled by appearances."
He reminded them again, stressing every word.
The members of Ancient Academy nodded heavily in response. They just wanted Maxwell to move quickly, because if he delayed any longer, Julian might already be dead.
Maxwell could see what they were thinking, so he smiled faintly.
"Since you understand, I won't waste more time. I'll go into Withered Tree Fortress to rescue Julian. You stick to our plan and act as we agreed."
