The room froze in unbelievable silence. The Crimson Land will fight its first battle? How? How? When if they take a flying ship then it'll be till the end of the day before they get there, less if they do neck-breaking speed.
How exactly did Vale think he's going to fight it? And he's talking as if he's going to participate in it!
But none of them have the mind to challenge his claims. Even Takoda only frowned as he watched Vale leave the room. '... he must have a plan, this confidence won't be for nothing otherwise...'
Cassian and Vossberg also watched, storing his every move as he headed out.
"Brother....what are we to do now?" Cassian said as the room dissolved. Everyone began to move.
Vossberg shook his head slightly. Even he had not expected all of this. Vale didn't give them any face at all and all their pressuring tactics did not work on the man. And unless they were willing to issue a direct threat and force, there was nothing they could do.
