An Extra’s POV

'I can't risk it…'

The very fabric of Adrien's plan hinged on the fickle trust of the Dragon Generals. Yes, he always had contingencies, but it wasn't something he could just afford to use in such a scenario.

'If there is an obvious pitfall, it's best I avoid it altogether.' He sighed to himself.

Adrien already suspected that Ce'phas must have had a similar goal in mind when he told Adrien to go with the Commanders. The General probably wanted some form of slip-up so he would finally be able to fight Adrien.

He wasn't taking the bait, though.

'I already used Enchanted Items with Recording Magic to capture everything going on here and report back to the Generals in the Camp… just so they can see what's going on.'

He constantly observed the Items too, ensuring that they remained unaffected and consistently sent the occurrences of the battlefield to the Generals in real time. All three of them had to be carried along on everything, not just relying on his anecdotes.

'It's possible that the Commanders end up giving biased reports regarding me and this entire event, so this is meant to provide the raw and objective report on the issue.'

Even with all of these precautions, it was too dangerous for him to give an order that would end in the death of any Commander.

Now wasn't the time for any kind of action.

"We are retreating…" Adrien turned to the Commander the moment he spotted the death of his last Undead Dragon.

The battle was over: they lost.

"We'll return to the Camp and give our reports to the Generals." He could see the annoyed faces of the Dragons. Their pride meant a great deal to them, and this crushing defeat served to badly damage their ego despite they not being participants of the frenzy.

Adrien ignored all of that, though.

'I most likely saved your lives.' He thought to himself, preparing his Spatial Magic. 'You're welcome.'
