As the Grand Commander of the Divine Palace spoke, the other two Divine Palace Commanders cried out in unison, "Grand Commander…!"
Hearing their cries, the Grand Commander of the Divine Palace waved his hand and said, "I know. But it has come to this. Don't force anyone. Those of you who no longer wish to fight, throw down your weapons."
He paused for a moment before continuing, his tone growing firm and cold. "Those who do not wish to fight, drop your weapons. Those who still wish to fight alongside me, raise your weapons and fight the Demon Palace to the death."
Hearing the Grand Commander's words, the remaining Divine Palace Warriors fell silent for a long moment. Then, more than half of them dropped their weapons. However, nearly two thousand still stood behind the Grand Commander.
Looking at the Grand Commander of the Divine Palace, the Fifth Commander's eyes held a trace of sorrow as he asked, "Grand Commander, you know victory is impossible. Why are you doing this?"
