Palmer is seriously reflecting on whether it's his own Blessing that has led to the current dire situation, with danger piling on top of danger. Just after dealing with the Silver Knights' assault and finally finding a way out, they encountered the Silent Legion.
This is more than just an unlucky start.
"Good news, we're very close to the exit," Palmer insisted on telling his boring jokes even at this moment, "bad news, there's only a Silent Legion standing between us and freedom."
While scouting Fog Abyss Fortress, Palmer had seen these Silent Ones. Clearly, these Silent Ones patrolling the perimeter noticed the chaos inside the fortress and collided head-on with the fleeing duo.
Palmer began to regret not staying where they were, as Bologue could easily carve another path out of the ruins.
Fleeing is not difficult, but it would mean abandoning Church.
