The news of one of the Paragons sacrificing himself to save his comrades spread through the entire camp. It even extended beyond it because of the dead man's background.
How he died was a mystery to most; the other paragons kept a tight lid on it to not spread any more unrest within the camp.
Of course, the ones who were the most affected by this death were the people he was with and the Wise Dragon Clan as a whole. The guiltiest, however, were the former party.
And it's precisely because of this that they had to bear the wrath and sorrow of the Wise Dragon Clan's Chancellor by themselves.
At the very least, they didn't cower on this part.
"We are willing to accept any punishment you'll sanction to us. It is, after all, our negligence that caused this to happen."
"If only we were more alert and quicker, we could've left with the Young Patriarch and not forced him to save us at the last minute to cover our retreat."
