The Silver Heart Alliance decided they were done with this. The more they deliberated and discussed, the stranger it seemed. In the end, they decided to stop meddling around the battlefield.

Second, because of the ruins' danger. Third, because the Silver Heart Alliance had already explored them alone for some time and suffered grievous losses.
After all, it was a ruin suspected to have been left behind by a silicon-based civilization. It might contain certain judgments based on life information, so it was just right to let the silicon-based civilization give it a try.
