Scheme and Counter-Scheme

Three of the seven walls had already been breached. The forces of the dark side had already reached the bottom of the fourth wall.

A patient person could endure hardship and humiliation, retreat, or even give up, but the human alliance had already retreated to the fifth wall. They could not retreat any further. If they did, they would just be digging their own graves.

At this distance, both sides had already entered each other's attack range. Aziz picked off seven common soldiers in a row while remaining hidden. After that, the human alliance had no choice but to order a stop to the usual patrol, choosing instead to send their elites to deal with the elites.

They were already in dire straits and could not afford to lose any more troops. Each soldier they lost would not only cause a decline in their overall strength, it would also be converted into contribution points for the other side, widening the strength disparity further.
