Knights of Tezoth

— What worries me is not so much the anxiety itself, but the desire to preserve not only my own life, but also the lives of as many of our warriors as possible. Each of them has their own life, and many have family members waiting at home who are surely worried. That is precisely why we must remain vigilant!

- Well said, Stefania, the life of each of our warriors is priceless and will still be needed by Gildaria upon our return to the surface, but resources must be managed rationally, otherwise the number of casualties will be even greater.

— If I understand correctly, in battle against the Ivilians, Zephyr and I will need to descend and fight in much the same way as we did not long ago at the tournament in Kanamia? — the girl decided to return to a more important topic, as she did not want to die at a critical moment because of trying to stay away from the opponent. — Or do I need to not just be down below, but also get off my pegasus?

- It will be enough to simply not take to the air.

— These elms are interesting. They prefer solitude, yet their magic is not so much selfish as it is designed for teamwork...

Like the complete opposite of the pointy-eared folk of the surface... With that, Stefania's introductory lecture came to an end, but in return she received a bonus of +5% to accuracy, evasion, and crit chance against the peoples of Ikazkan. Adalard, in turn, tasked her with exploring the underground world in the company of 1 knight of her choosing (it is assumed that besides the one shown on the map, there are other tunnels here, which will be scouted by other parts of this army). In short, you can invite anyone.

— Besides the knight, how many warriors will be at my disposal? — Stefania clarified.
