It was a pure massacre.
Kiara's team had managed to purge all the demonic rankers thoroughly. The only casualties on their side were the guards who had gone overboard to clear their names.
However, the guards' overzealousness allowed Kiara's side to gain momentum and build pressure on the demonic rankers. Without them, the rankers would have casualties in their hands.
Roald realized that this was what Kiara had wanted to achieve all along. She had used the guards' involvement with the demonic rankers as leverage to have no casualty on her team.
Roland wasn't in a position to complain about how Kiara had handled things anyway. If anything, he admired her for putting personal vengeance aside and using the guards to her advantage. This was the quality of a true leader. Something he always wished for.
