Despite Mo glossing over the post-outbreak of war with a terse 'no need to elaborate', everyone is acutely aware that if it were not for Sin Knight's detection of a telltale clue in the rebel's troop deployment, leading to his pointedly accurate judgement that 'the enemy is very likely delaying time waiting for the Griffin Dynasty to enter the scene', the so-called 'if they hadn't been defeated so quickly' would have been an absolute certainty!
It was precisely because he had unilaterally altered the battle plan, leading a mere few hundreds into the heartland of Banther City before the news reached Arthur and Fossai, and by employing extremely brutal measures to sow Confusion amongst the enemy's senses, causing the rebel leadership to misjudge their numbers, that Arthur, who received the news much later, was able to calmly adjust the offensive and further create the false impression of a 'three-pronged advance'.
