Li Qingran stood atop the city wall, her brow furrowed.
She had realized it.
They were being toyed with by the Holy Court.
Initially heading to reinforce Gan City, Li Qingran found only a harassing faction from the Holy Court, wasting precious time.
But she lacked a viable strategy.
The mission's time constraints were rigid, leaving no room for contemplation. Hastily arriving to reinforce Willow Town, she couldn't afford to pause and gather more intelligence.
Additionally, gathered intelligence suggested that the Holy Court's strongest contingent had breached deep into the heart of the Enkama Empire.
The enemy's troop movements remained enigmatic.
There were potential, deeper machinations at play.

Moreover, their current team's prowess made a confrontation unfeasible.
What could be done?
