Tello Hailaer immediately called for a meeting with the higher-ups the moment he returned to Mill City and began to broach the topic on changing allegiance, but things were just as he had expected. This idea met the objections of the masses, and there was almost no one who supported it.
"We don't have many followers of the God of Knowledge in Mill City and even fewer followers of the Void Mask. Why should we change over to their side?" most would say. This was the most common attitude observed.
"Of course, there isn't a problem with changing camps. But how much can we benefit from the Republic of Northwest? Are the benefits going to be worth us taking this risk?" said those selfish high-ups who had no moral integrity to speak of. Only they were able to make such comments.
