Finishing All Preparations
The gap between me and her was growing no matter what I tried to do. Taking down the walls wasn't just the only thing that took much time, spreading out warriors in the tunnels took more.
I couldn't escape such a task no matter what. The only guarantee to counter the Hescos trap lay on the shoulders of these forces.
I didn't expect them to crush the incoming Hescos, but they would at least stop them for enough time. I wanted to buy myself time just in case something bad happened during the next step of the plan.
Sara's forces were marching up fast no matter how many times I warned her to slow down. Per her words, the Hescos were growing thin the higher they climbed, and she had nothing to do but to accept the free gift of layers from them.
Even if she asked her forces to slow down, the enemy didn't give us such privilege.
