The warriors couldn't believe what they had just heard.
Leave the city?
"Why are we not defending Eden?" one of the warriors from the Grimhowl Tribe asked. "Why must we leave? With all the tribes united under your banner, we have nothing to fear."
"That's right!"
"Lead us to defend Eden!"
"We must protect Eden at all costs!'
The warriors spoke out loud, voicing their opinions and trying to convince the young chieftain not to abandon the city.
However, he had already made up his mind.
"I will say it again," Leone said calmly. "All I ask is your trust. If you don't trust me, you are free to stay. But to those who trust me and wish to win this war, follow my orders, no matter how unreasonable they may sound. For this is the path that leads to fewer sacrifices. This is the path that will lead to fewer casualties among our people."
Everyone was still reeling from the shock of hearing that their new King was planning to abandon Eden.
The sacred land of the barbarians.
