Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants were facing eight enemies. It was challenging to face eight enemies without a cleric. Moreover, the enemy had a cleric at their side.
Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants using a quick eye sign had agreed to retreat. Their surprise attack had failed. If they braved themselves and tried to fight against the enemy, it would be challenging to win against them. Even if they could win, they would not escape without any injuries.
However, their enemies were not some ordinary people or a villager, they were trained soldiers. As soon as Lieutenant Kajo and the two sergeants showed a sign to escape, they immediately chased them.
They spread out. However, the distance between each of the enemies was not too far. So, in case, Lieutenant Kajo and the sergeants tried to ambush them, the others could quickly support each other.
