"I did not mean tha—"
He tried to explain himself but—
The cloaked figure completely ignored his statement, as if he never said it and while this forgiveness would have filled the leader with lifelong gratitude, the cloaked figure's next words instantly took away any little gratitude that might have formed.
"You no longer have time.
You need to move.
And you need to move now."
The woman leader clenched her fists in anger.
"…why? Why now? Why so desperately…?"
She couldn't understand.
The cloaked figure moved his head towards her and—
"Because the plan is now in ruin because you were too slow to act. That man has done this much in the few weeks he has been here, imagine what he would do if he is given more time.
The situation will only get worse from here, the support he has will rise, the tribes you still have on your side will start doubting you, the support we provide will no longer matter.
So win while you still can.
Win when you are still stronger.
