Actually, both Milovan and Rete were planning to jump in personally, thanks to Viscount Robin's smooth explanations.
After all, they could see clearly: after suffering such a huge setback, Viscount Robin was really willing to swallow his pride.
They were afraid their own actions might fail at the most crucial moment.
But what they didn't expect was—there was no need for them to act at all. The people of Barnes Village had already beaten Viscount Robin so thoroughly he couldn't fight back.
Obviously, in the face of absolute facts, no amount of excuses from Viscount Robin could help.
The residents saw through it all, so their minds weren't so easily fooled anymore.
"When are we..." evacuating?
Rete spoke to Milovan, gesturing that it was time to leave.
Milovan glanced around, then leaned close to Rete and whispered, "Wait a bit longer. When the crowd moves, just follow them."
If you can avoid standing out, it's best not to be the first target.
