Corvey withdrew his gaze and looked towards the distant lights beneath the incessant drizzle.

"Nor did I expect to find myself here tonight."

Corvey stared into the darkness below and suddenly exclaimed, "Had you arrived tonight and found me absent from the command center, perhaps at the Mayor's Mansion instead, and had you not encountered me, wouldn't your trip here have been in vain?"

"Not everyone will follow you," He Ao stated, setting down his brass cane. The solid brass cane tapped the stone floor with a crisp sound, and his gaze sweeping the direction from which he came, the dense formations of Mecha and Dragon Cavalry Fighters still stood in the dark night sky.

He began slowly, "There would still be a large contingent of City Defense Soldiers staying behind; they are the brave warriors of Yilan, and I am the Mayor of Yilan City."
