"So that's your final decision, eh?" Richard sighed, a defeated smile extending his lips. It wasn't like he didn't expect it but still, it was a little unfortunate.
Bennet refused to stay away from the war, nor would he force any of his soldiers. He lives for the safety of the citizens, and for them, he would be participating in the war.
Naturally, there was a possibility that if the citizens had shifted to Earth, Bennet wouldn't have to force his way into a war that was not meant to be fought by mere mortal beings.
However, "I know they won't abandon their land, regardless of what is to come." Bennet added, and Bellarine agreed to it.
The citizens of Clion are quite stubborn and devoted to their land. They would rather accept death than abandon their birth land. In such a case, it was futile to even try convincing them.
