True Plan

The battle between Masters raged on at full power.

With each passing minute, both sides only grew more desperate. 

The Sekigaharan Masters only grew more maniacal in their drive to win the war, as they were notorious for, as time passed. For each passing second of war drained their stamina and Martial Mind.

The closer their Martial Mind came to being depleted, the more dangerous and perilous their circumstances were.

After all, once their Martial Minds were depleted, even Martial Seniors were a threat to them.

What they were especially afraid of was someone like the Gatekeeper arriving on the battlefield once Martial Minds were completely emptied. That would be a nightmare as he would undoubtedly be the strongest on the battlefield if that were to happen.

In their minds, they were the deciding factor of whether their operation was a success or not.

However, they were wrong.
