Shock?
The detailed task lasted for a while, considering there were a lot of details that had to be discussed. Still, everyone was satisfied because they knew Theo had put a lot of thought into the plan.
They might be at a great disadvantage, but they could see a ray of light where they could achieve victory. None of them thought they were going to lose the war.
That was why no one raised an objection to Theo's tasks.
At the end of the meeting, Theo said, "That's all. Please make your own preparation for the upcoming war. We have talked to the government about the deployment and we'll be waiting for their soldiers to arrive."
Theo gently bowed his head to them as if asking for their help. This was a battle they couldn't lose. Even that bow was unnecessary, considering it decided their own survival as well.
But it seemed that Theo did it for a reason. They could only see Theo do it before leaving the room.
