"I didn't expect that they would come so soon… even if Karla is leading them, she shouldn't be this influential," Branden said while squinting his eyes.

His approach involved maintaining relentless pressure on the opposition, depriving them of any chance to catch their breath. This would gradually erode their physical conditions, making them progressively weaker.
