Can't Leave Behind

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Alvin couldn't hold himself anymore. "What is happening here? How did you get to do all of this?"

"Hum?" Linfel pondered a bit about the past. "I told you I considered a few patterns of how this war could turn out to be, right? One of them would be the one we just talked about. I knew that you would absolutely want to go back and take your father with you, so I couldn't really leave him behind."

He continued. "That said, I met senior Lucau alone and told him about the scenario of a bigger alliance. If everything went as I expected, the borders would open between Heffal and Binnan. Senior Lucau only had to take a bus or whatever and cross the border. From Binnan, who wasn't at war yet, he only had to take an airship and go to Clondure further north and out of the influence of the alliances."
