The Divine Dragys' suicide caused a lot more damage than expected. First, a settlement at the frontlines ceased to exist. It tore a humongous hole in the Dragys' defenses, which the Divine Alliances' members took advantage of. They charged through the massive gap with its ten-kilometer radius destruction and spread in all directions once they passed through the defensive lines.
The Dragys' defenses were the strongest in its Border Fortresses. Therefore, the sudden change in tactics and the destruction of one Border Fortress was much more problematic than it looked at first glance.
Michael considered helping the Divine Alliances further but left them after reconsidering his options. He deployed some High Beast Hordes and the Quetzalcoatl to join the fights and attack everyone, leaving the secure proximity of their settlements, but that was already it. The Undead Souls had already been given orders, leaving Michael with little work in the Dragys Lordess' territory.
