For Messi, The World Cup Champion 4

They'd only ask for them to come here in two conditions. First I managed to kill most of their forces here, or their base would get attacked.

The distance from their place to here would take a few hours to cross. And if I put into consideration the aftermath of my pillar's brutal attack, then they might take double or even triple this duration.

I'd give myself ten hours. If I couldn't end up everything here by then, I'd better prepare for retreat.

Fighting a useless battle while the enemy still had their head ups alive wasn't my style of doing things.

I thought about gathering up my scattered forces here using my horn. But after seriously considering this, I refrained from doing so.

If I did, the enemy would get alarmed. I wanted the enemy to keep focusing over the scattered battles here and lower his guard against me.

I pushed my chariot to travel fast. Per Matte's words, the paragon with that scary offensive artefact would have retreated back to the base.
