Adair and Wylie died in battle. Xitlaly was also badly injured. The Solstice Alliance had about six hundred casualties of members at the peak of the Yuraeceon Daelm Rank's Ninth Tribulation. If not for Truett’s desperate attempts to protect US, we would've been completely wiped out. We would not have lived to see today.

Everyone lowered their head at the reminder. They had personally experienced the brutality of that battle. It was a courageous battle that came with a lot of bloodshed. Even so, it ended with their tragic defeat.
"Before that battle, Truett, Yancy, Xitlaly, and I had made calculations. Even if Yaquis and Gladwin were to join forces, the Solstice Alliance had a seventy percent chance of winning. After all, the New Alliance and Righteous Alliance would have been significantly weakened after the Genesis Worlds' catastrophe." Lyla paused and scanned everyone in the hall.

Why do you think we lost?
