Chapter 815: Section 546: Walden Action (Part 1)
"The upcoming meeting will be presided over by Marshal Hill."
Having said that, Malin stepped down from the podium and handed the wooden baton in his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him.
The latter took the stage and began to recount the previously discussed policies: "Our current policy is still to hold the defense line until the warm spring weather allows us to counterattack."
Listening to his narration, Malin walked towards the exit of the large tunnel used for the meeting, removing his red robe as he walked. The Dwarven Electrum had already been waiting at the door, and he took the Church red robe from Malin: "Your Excellency, the preparation area has been opened. Elite members from various Mage Towers are already in position, just waiting for you."
"I hope I haven’t kept them waiting too long, Electrum. Take my red robe back to my residence, this is a letter to my loved ones; if I can’t return, please remember to deliver it for me."
Malin took out an envelope from his pocket, the Dwarf looked at it, and eventually shook his head: "It’s better that you do it yourself, Your Excellency."
"The Thanan people say it’s better to be prepared for everything, as fate is unpredictable. This attack should be the first aerial operation by the world’s Mages in history. Every Mage’s life in the sky is of equal value, so, please do me this favor, Electrum."
With a pained look, the Dwarf finally took the envelope and said: "But please, Your Excellency, come back no matter what."
"Go forth with the belief in survival but prepare for the possibility of death. Do what we can and leave the rest to fate." Saying this with a smile, Malin shook hands with Electrum and bid farewell.
