After a moment of stunned bewilderment, Christine instinctively thought she should run.
Isn't that right?
As the commander of the coalition forces, she was very clear that the defense of Val City was over.
Transcendents can hardly change the course of a battle on their own, except Sofia.
Sofia hasn't personally killed anyone, except those unlucky ones who voluntarily rushed to their death, frozen to ice shards; she hadn't actively killed anyone.
But she shattered the source of the coalition's morale.
The Holy Spring was frozen, the Holy Water turned into Holy Ice. The miracles which could save severe injuries were gone.
The belief in victory of the two hundred thousand troops was also frozen.
All Christine could do now was to minimize losses.
Just as she was about to give the retreat order, Christine's body suddenly stiffened.
From a rational standpoint, ordering a retreat after morale collapses is the best choice.
