The Wave of Surrenders

The idea was that if Waldo faced a few more such battles, his strength would be significantly depleted. Then, they could take advantage of his weakened state. However, this notion was immediately proven wrong. 

[Battle Over!]

[Three teams, fifteen challengers, all dead!]

A tremendous, unparalleled storm erupted, sweeping across the chessboard world with unstoppable force. Shock! Astonishment! Unparalleled astonishment! All the challengers, everyone who was following this event, were left speechless, with only one word in their minds: shock! Complete and utter shock!

Three teams, fifteen challengers. Among them, the three most powerful captains had their combat strength doubled. Such a formidable force, even if unable to defeat the Dawn team, should have been able to delay them for some time.
