The War Continues

Lilith sat in the background of her city, which was under assault by Balthazar and his forces. Or at least those he managed to bring with him across the Pacific. There was, after all, a need to maintain a presence in his own territory if not simply to ensure that the pesky human survivors in Asia did not take advantage of the crisis for their own gain.

But Lilith was different from Balthazar. And he was starting to learn this. After a year of fostering various human farms, and watching the exploits of the awakened. She had learned some limited understanding of basic tactics which they employed, and how effective they could be in large-scale battles.

Observing the Battle of Tahoe was indeed a huge boon. And how Zane had managed to emerge victorious despite having inferior numbers against the Crusaders of Elysium. It inspired her to make use of such things on her own. Even if her understanding of strategy and tactics was severely limited compared to Zane.
