Jackson's warning made Alas's face even more unpleasant. He immediately signaled a slightly taller and stronger guard to take off his uniform for the State Preceptor to wear. The State Preceptor also understood that this was no time to be fussy, allowing everyone to arrange things as needed. A few minutes later, the State Preceptor changed into the uniform. Alas looked at Jackson and said, "We definitely can't stay here. Let's execute the retreat plan. We'll head to the military base."
"Okay, but we can't follow the original route." Jackson said with a grim expression. Seeing Alas's puzzled look, he quickly explained, "The enemy found the State Preceptor's residence, so my plan is likely compromised. We must adjust the arrangements, not going to the front, but retreating secretly through the back door. Of course, someone has to pretend to retreat from the front as well."
