In the projection above the war table, John saw the neutral force rush to the battlefield. They charged directly into the side where the Cult of Phobos was decimating the Themisphere army. Once they did, this force turned into green dots.
John exhaled a huge relief breath upon seeing that. He couldn't handle additional enemies.
He saw that the dots representing the Cult of Phobos completely stopped their offensive once this new ally made contact with them. The two forces were now fully engaged with one another, completely ignoring the Themisphere army near them.
The more surprising thing was, this ally could hold its ground against the cult, even when the cult outnumbered them. This cult had made short work on the Themisphere army but was unable to do so against this new ally. This showed the newcomer was not simple.
