The puppet had managed to rile up the soldiers with his speech, and through his eloquence, Riley incited them to fight against General Marce.
"Riley! We get what trying to say, but who could possibly fight General Marce Head on. Even if we gang up on him, we will have a lot of casualties... Another thing I must say is that the enemy camp is looking in our direction at all times. It's known to all what they will do once we have chaos on our side. Also, have you thought about the consequences of what would happen after Count Nathan comes to know of it." A veteran soldier who kept his mind calm all the time explained.
His words poured cold water on the hearts of many soldiers who were going to go with Riley and rebel.
