That's the things though. This whole time Oz has lead them to believe that she could be defeated but suddenly they get this curve ball thrown at them that she is immortal and can't be killed and that Oz kept that a secret. They've been given nothing in a way that she can be defeated other then trying to keep the relics out of her hands. Even Oz didn't have any plans beyond that. The group is acting like anyone would react. That they are fighting a hopeless war.

p.s. Keep in mind that just because we have the time to process everything and analyze the situation as an outsider viewer doesn't mean the characters have the same privilege.
