The lack of quality

The Elites fought against the enemy horde for 2 more hours and managed to get a complete route of the enemy forces ! 

With still nearly 100 minutes left till sunrise, it seemed like they would be able to catch just a little bit of rest before hopping on for a long days battle at sunrise. 

The very thought of having to fight an intense battle the very next day , got the elites a bit disheartened as the constant high intensity fighting had left them a little drained. 

Rudra's strategy made it so that the sacrifices on the player side of things was high , whereas he did not introduce the help from the church and the Hazelgroove Empire in the battle on day one. 

The reason behind it was simple . The players were replaceable should the fight go past day 3 , but the NPC were not.
