"Good." Albel wiped his brow again, the sweat starting to drip into his eyes. "At least they finally left now..."
He'd been trying to evacuate the stubborn remaining residents since they discovered the empire's plans. He wasn't exactly glad that a rapidly spreading fire was what it took to finally get them to leave, but at least they were safe. Or somewhat safer. But this (in general crisis terms) was exactly what he'd been trying to avoid by telling people to evacuate early.
"Even if this district gets destroyed, if we can contain it here..." He cast Watera and moved on, following the trail. "We can't let it spread any further."
The less destroyed, the less that needed to be rebuilt. Even if Aqures Ixen was saved, if it was a heap of rubble at the end of it, then was it really saved at all?
