Roland and Sofia conspired on the battlefield about collaboration, with no objections from the entourage.
Angelina, ranked 32, need not worry about those ranked 2-11, nor about the top 60. Her position is very stable.
Also as stable as the old dog were Sahalin of the Blade of Destruction and Pulkin the Great Shepherd, who rushed in upon hearing the news; their ranks were also in the twenties.
Not quite at the top but better than at the bottom, their primary strategy was survival—staying alive would ensure they could wait for commendations.
These three all came from the Vladimir Empire and usually had good relationships, naturally forming a collaborative team.
They did not approach Sofia.
It's not that they didn't want to escort her, but they lacked the ability. The enemies Sofia faced were in a league they couldn't venture into; entering such a high-level field recklessly would only lead to instant shattering.
