My main priorities were to keep those close to me safe as well as my men. If she moved any closer to the front line, they would prioritize her safety over their own and might end up getting themselves killed. The last thing I want is for them to sacrifice themselves for someone else when they could have been able to move out of the way because she would become the number one target on their enemy side to break morale. Nothing says killing a princess of the enemy kingdom to drop the enemy's morale and boost their own.
I flew through the sky while keeping my massive attacks going. My current goal was the back line. While we could keep these strange weapons at bay, I still needed to take them out once and for all so we could do a major push, and to do that, someone needed to go to the back line and create havoc.
