Logan was not a fool, naturally seeing the delay tactics of the Lord. Claiming to be 'considering' his proposal was nothing more than buying time until the terrifying tribulation of thunder had passed so he wouldn't have to fulfill his promise.
Therefore, Logan continued, "Lord, please do me this favor. After all, you owe me a debt of gratitude. Besides, it will only require disabling the defenses for about three minutes which won't put the Capital City at any significant risk."
With the Lord, a dominant figure, sitting in the center of the city, the Capital City could not be destroyed unless it was by a powerful figure from the Holy See. However, the existence of such a powerful being from the Holy See was already something of a legend. Hence, many people assumed that there was no such powerful being in the world anymore.
