'Exactly.' Eckor replied. 'This is a perfect opportunity to enact Oghrom's law and remove our target. It's a shame to leave Dripha in the hands of weaklings, but we have already invested too many resources to go after the Ernas.'
'This is too perfect, Eckor. Too convenient.' Jiza inwardly shook her head. 'I told you there must be a trap. It's unlike you to fall for the obvious.'
'I'm not falling for it. I'm calling Jirni's bluff.' He replied. 'If not now, when should we attack? We have all our pieces in place and a solid alibi. Our target is alone and exposed.
'There is no guarantee that if we fall back now, any of the information that we have collected will still be reliable tomorrow. For whatever reason, Jirni Ernas is stalling for time, and if we keep waiting, we'll play in her hand.'
Jiza couldn't deny Eckor's cold logic, but a few things didn't convince him.
