Emperor Kilmock warned everyone darkly, "Without my order, no one is allowed to make any move. Whoever acts recklessly, don't blame me for being merciless."
It wasn't that Kilmock was unwilling to adopt their suggestion and defect at this moment, but that he really couldn't figure Icaroya out.
He always felt she still had something up her sleeve; who would win and who would lose was still uncertain.
If Star Ring City had forcibly pulled the frontline troops back this time, he might really have turned on them. But Icaroya hadn't done that—this kind of behavior was either brain-dead, or it meant absolute confidence.
Most importantly, if he defected now, it would be equivalent to returning to the Eternal Sleep Clan, and everything he'd done before would go up in smoke. That wasn't what he wanted.
So he decided to wait a bit longer.
When Prince Kyarat heard Emperor Kilmock's words, he was extremely unwilling in his heart, but he didn't dare utter a sound.
