Nux's Shadow.

The day before Nux and his wives participated in the War,

"Hmm? We are going to let the few of them retreat? I don't understand? Why do we have to do that?"

Evane questioned with a confused look on her face.

Ember then glanced at Amaya and sighed, "Ask her not me, I am only planning to achieve the result she desires."

Everyone turned towards Amaya.

"It's simple really."

Amaya started explaining,

"First of all, it is stupid to Kill Armando, who is our informant."

"That's true." Felberta agreed.

Amaya nodded and then continued,

"The second reason is more of an insurance move.

If we completely wipe out the enemy, then there is a chance that Herms might use this chance to counter and say Alcimus participated in this battle.

I do not know what he is planning, however, his plan seems to involve Alcimus participating in this War.

There is no reason for us to give him what he wants therefore, to prevent him from forging a story like that, we will keep a few of them alive."
