Anju
Twenty percent is a number she's willing to take. Glad that Lisbeth hasn't gone far since her command was given, Anju - whether she can hear the spirit or not - decides given the hysteria of the people around that the plan needs to change.
"All but two skyships divert to evacuation!" she bellows to the pilots as they depart, hoping the word gets spread. The city can fall, but the people cannot. "The other two ships, descend into the city square and brace your port side against the tallest buildings - we need to minimize the debris falling, once the surrounding areas are clear we can forcefully topple them outward if we need to but for now we need a defense for evacuation!" Turning back to Lisbeth, she takes the girl by the shoulders and squeezes firm but encouraging, grateful for her quick obedience and level head so far.
"Mobilize all the remaining soldiers. There's nothing to fight; right now, our only focus is getting the civilians to the square for evacuation. If we need to level these buildings forcefully, we can't have anyone left in the homes beyond." She claps the girl on the bicep and sets off at a jog towards Lena, trying to avoid more debris. "Lena, do you think we're at risk for a stampede?" she keeps to as low a tone as she can manage once they're nearer, not providing any further ammunition for the hysterical crowd. Lena is the expert of the Celestine; if she feels she's best used returning there, Anju will happily concede.

Anju, regardless of whether she hears the spirit's response, diverts all but two skyships to evacuation instead of half the fleet to try and calm the hysteria. The remaining two she commands to descend from above into the square with their port sides facing the tallest buildings, to block debris and keep a clear path for evacuation. She tells Lisbeth to take every soldier and focus on evacuating the outskirts, then asks Lena about the Celestine.

Faithfully I would prepare my works
to prove God's wrath was well deserved
