Sigurd fell silent. Since they could not count on Helius, Jared had become their only hope.
Alas, he did not even know where Jared was and how long Jared would take to come to them.
Mountain Defense Formation was about to be shattered, and he had no idea whether or not they could hold on until Jared arrived.
“Ms. Warwick, I'm going to head off to meet Hosen to buy us some time.”
Ghaylen decided to make an appearance to get them more time to wait for Jared's arrival.
“I'll go with you. He's my master. I'll be able to buy us a little more time too,” Sigurd quickly said.
Viola nodded. “Okay, but you must be careful. Retreat to the main hall if anything goes wrong. Even if the Mountain Defense Formation is destroyed, we can still keep up our defenses in the main hall.”
“Got it.”
With that, Ghaylen and Sigurd left the main hall to buy them some time.
Viola leaned back against the sect leader's throne, waiting with anticipation in her eyes.
“Jared, will I ever see you again?”
She couldn't stop thinking about him ever since he left.
Now that they were in a crisis, Viola had no idea whether or not Jared would be able to make it in time. If he could not, then the two of them would be separated by the law of mortality, never to see each other again.
