Evie looked at the core and gritted her teeth. It seemed as though what she had been afraid of had happened. She mourned at how accurate sometimes her instincts and gut feeling could be. It was almost prophetic to a degree. And now even Zolan was advising her to call the troops to withdraw.
"RETREAT!" she shouted out using her magic to amplify her voice so it could reach the ears of all the members of their allied forces. Everyone was swift and immediately moved to retreat as per the orders given by Queen Evie, even as they did not understand what was going on. In their minds, they had already secured the victory as all the monsters had been slain. They were just delaying the victory celebration until Vera and Azure returns with Prince Gideon. Thus, even as they were running back, retreating as they had already determined on if they ever needed to retreat, their minds were still in chaos and confusion.
