Attack or Retreat?

"I've heard of Amaharpe's War Intelligence Group's legendary skills, but it seems that, in the end, rumors are just that—rumors." Alkori disdained as he looked at Soothing Smoke with a death glare.

He then faced Solomon and continued, "General Solomon, I'll make it easy for you. My brothers have made a great sacrifice at the expense of your side's failure. Double—I want twice as much as what was originally promised. Otherwise, I will cut my losses here and walk away from this cursed battlefield."

"Ridiculous! You already signed an agreement, Alkori! It's too late to go back on your word, or can it be that you Pzenium warriors only know how to run when real trouble arrives?!" Tonne jumped to his feet and immediately rejected Alkori's proposal. As the Manager in charge of resource distribution in the Demilitarization Belt, he found Alkori's request too unreasonable.
