"We can only hope that the Skyblaze family will send help here," the Lieutenant muttered. He continued saying, "For now, let's give our best to defend the town at any cost. We can't have more people dying. Let's try to save lives as much as we can."
"Yes sir!"
"I think it's time for the other group to take over. Let the group who was on duty at this moment rest and eat."
"Okay, sir!"
After saying it, his subordinate left the room to relay his command, leaving him alone.
