“Their buildings were clearly designed as military fortresses. If we don’t sneak in now, we’ll have to launch a full–blown assault later just to get inside!”

Magnus spoke with absolute clarity.

Solana immediately volunteered with fiery determination.

“Not at all. I’m simply assigning tasks based on each person’s strengths, Magnus replied with a composed smile. “Besides, Quintus, you’re our trump card. We’ll need you to make a grand entrance later. This isn’t the time for you to act.”
