He looked at the three somewhat young wizards, his tone extremely stern, "Is there no one else? Why send these recruits? Do you think their mental fortitude is enough to sustain them through this mission?"
As an experienced wizard, Delis certainly wouldn't soften his heart or pity these young wizards.
The only reason he spoke up was because this assignment was incredibly unreasonable.
These three recruits, neither had experience nor soul boxes. Sending them on a mission that was sure to be fatal was like gambling.
They were betting that these three wizards would stick to their beliefs and exhaust all their efforts to buy them time.
But such a possibility was too slight in Delis's view to even be considered.
Once Delis pointed this out, his deputy had no choice but to withdraw the three wizards and replace them with three others.
The few who were called up were veteran wizards of the army. Their soul boxes had been triggered twice, and a soul box could at most be used thrice.
