Kariya couldn't help but laugh bitterly at this outcome. Even from his position in the airborne command center, he could see the barrage of fire on the ground—this was simply not the kind of firepower one would expect from a battle involving merely a thousand soldiers.
Clearly, it was because the tactical training and combat strength of the troops under Li Aozi were too superior; the soldiers at the front line couldn't hold up any longer and clamored for reinforcements.
Every army faces such situations; when confronted with formidable opponents, soldiers may falter, reluctant to push forward and engage in close combat without covering fire, thus they tend to exaggerate the strength of their enemies.
Fortunately, Kariya was commanding the People of Sky Ring.
