In this chapter, we learn that the half-wolf and the captain of the human fleet are still together. The captain tells us that he used to live in the city of Sethihar for ten months before he was killed by the dusk lords. He says that the humans are trapped inside the city and that the only way to escape is to go to the city's blacksmith district. He tells the captain to stay down and not to worry. The dusk lords will kill him if he doesn't leave them, the captain says. They survived the entire war, he says, and now they're just going to have to call in an armored walker to hold the line. They can't even fight demon magic because the lilium "makes you dizzy" . They need to get the walker to stop and wait for reinforcements.
