"It's over... we're finished."
An officer slumped in his seat, his expression filled with despair.
"Damn it, we should retreat now, we should leave here, otherwise we'll be surrounded!" another officer, seemingly already terrified, exclaimed in panic.
"Do you want to be a deserter?! We have no retreat. Once Gray Rock Fortress falls, those monsters will devour at least half of the territory.
Several territories will be swallowed up, and by then we'll all be sinners!" yet another officer shouted, slamming the table fiercely.
The meeting in the tent had descended into chaos.
"Silence!"
A sudden shout rang out.
Everyone looked at Prince Anistar seated at the head of the table, frowning at the moment.
"All of you sit down. You are officers; if you panic, it truly is over.
Calm down and think carefully about the current situation."
With his words, the officers who had been quarreling silently returned to their seats.
