"Vice Captain. They're coming." One of the soldiers came to him with a serious expression.

"Are we really going to do this?" Another soldier expressed his doubt. After all, it would be impossible to take on a bishop without a single captain.

Since he couldn't sense anything, Joseph said, "If I die, you all should leave immediately and report it."
