The continued inaction from the lesser phase lords eventually broke the back of alien opposition.
Despite transmitting repeated requests for relief, their gods had turned their gazes away from their faltering phasefighters and warships.
To many alien soldiers, the complete lack of empathy and courage shown by the lesser phase lords practically caused their faith to collapse.
Without faith, how could they possibly muster enough motivation to persist in this battle?
The aliens began to withdraw.
As soldiers, they attempted to organize their retreat as orderly as possible, but that did not last very long.
Many aliens just wanted to put as much distance between them and the deadly human mechs and warships!
It did not help that their human counterparts immediately smelled weakness.
