The rest... should all be abandoned...
As the words left his mouth, Tero abruptly stood up, looking incredulously at Motan. "You... Priest Hei Fan, do you know what you just said?!"
The reactions from the others weren't as extreme, but they too looked at Motan in disbelief. Ferman and Feather Song held a touch of dread in their eyes.
"I clearly understand what I said, and can repeat it if necessary."
Motan, expressionless, locked eyes with Tero. "The alternative is, the original plan remains the same—let the uninfected people from Shawa and Ebi City cross the cordon to take refuge in the Skalan Duchy. The rest... should all be abandoned."
"Ridiculous!"
The righteous Holy Knight clenched his teeth, his brown eyes burning with anger. "Do you know how many…"
"No, I don't." Motan interrupted him calmly. Then he added, "But there must be tens of thousands of people, that is, after excluding those who are uninfected. I think that's about right."
