Surrendering to enemies who had invaded one's own Mother Plane was indeed something difficult to speak of.
Not all of White Sand World's upper echelon shared that attitude.
The White Wing Bird King of the Winged Race firmly opposed surrender.
It would rather charge out of its Mother Plane and lead its people into exile from then on than bow and scrape before Wizard Civilization.
The White Wing Bird King, possessing the life level of a Level-4 lifeform, could afford such freedom. The Winged Race creatures under its command also generally possessed high flight speeds, giving them at least a sliver of a chance to break through and escape.
But Guardian Giant Stone Sen Sen had to take responsibility for the countless billions of living beings that made up the greater part of White Sand World.
The Sand Worm Queen, who was likewise at Level 4, did not have such a strong adverse reaction to the prospect of surrender.

The Guardian had made extensive preparations for this negotiation with Saine.
