2052 Kill.

Leonel might be in a different state now, but he was still mindful of the future. Nothing bad was about to happen to Aina just now, but he didn't feel it was necessary to show all of these matters just yet. Using it on this one territory when victory was already in hand was unnecessary.

Since Vega was First Nova's woman, he had no intention of killing her. However, she wasn't an Heir, so she didn't have a badge to crush and send her out, it would be up to First Nova to do that. Even so, Leonel didn't have any intention of using her as a hostage either. So as things stood now, the only thing he wanted was control over the city's core. For that sort of purpose, this much was already enough.

The Quarius family members, upon realizing Vega had lost the battle, and so miserably at that, couldn't stand idly by any longer.

There weren't many of them, and truthfully most of them were actually just Adawarth's subordinates, faithful followers he had gathered over the years. As First Nova, there was no doubt that he had had the most time of them all to succeed in this matter, and his subordinates were most definitely not incompetent.

They had understood what Vega wanted to do, defeating an enemy in a one on one battle before the start of a large scale war was an excellent way to claim the morale for your side. However, things hadn't gone as planned.

Even so, they were all veterans of the battlefield and each one of them understood that they still ultimately had the upper hand. They were the defending party and their numbers were far greater. In addition, if Leonel and the others were too slow, they would end up pincered from multiple sides. Not only had they already contacted Adawarth, but their members who were focused on scouting out the region and clearing dungeons and the like could come back any time.

However, maybe none of them actually expected what happened next.
