Howard was acutely aware that even if they wanted to back out now, Kaedwyn wouldn't let them go.
By this time, Kaedwyn had probably already informed Sedge of the situation.
If Sedge made the first move, and they were caught in the city, escape would be impossible.
Both Kaedwyn and Sedge would never allow them to leave alive.
And fleeing now was not an option either.
With Sedge's assistance, Kaedwyn would surely have all the city gates quietly monitored, not to mention the Empire Knights Order...
There was no way out.
"You must understand the gravity of the situation, right, Leader Kellman?" Howard posed the question.
"Sedge might already be hunting us across the city. If we are slow to act, our deaths are certain."
Kellman felt a cold sweat break out.
Howard was right.
To survive, their best chance was to catch Sedge off guard and kill him.
