While Scarlett, Olivia, and their group's went to Portgreen to try reducing the number of people Lucien will have to face, he kept looking at the walls while thinking about the best course of action.
Unlike his female troops, which were much stronger and could count on his boost, the male troops would take approximately four days or more to arrive.
Whether Lucien would wait for them or attack only with female troops would depend on the opportunities that appear.
He did not know how many adventurers Olivia could convince not to fight, but she has already made it clear that the chance of some adventurers fighting other adventurers is very low.
The situation with Scarlett is quite different since the mercenaries are more flexible. Some might join his fight against Ivan or maybe even against the other mercenaries. Of course, it all depends on Scarlett's success in persuading them.
