Vacuse had already decided not to participate in the battle. It was not because he was afraid, but rather because it was not logical for him to do so.
He had no training in fighting with an army. He did not know what to do on a battlefield compared to the soldiers and Soulbearers who trained specifically for things like that.
So he stood at the battlement of the Last Tooth Fortress and watched as things were about to play out.
The Dragon Lord had left a number of warriors behind to watch and defend his son. And with him were his Dragon Guards and the New Dawn.
"If this was not a hurried battle, we still have a number of war constructs and battle formations back in the Standpoint Fortress to use... but the Dragon Lord did not recall them."
