"Fall back! Fall back, all of you!!" Fargus shouted with tremendous force the very instant he saw the Allied Army's armada splitting apart into four enormous groups, accelerating upward, downward, and sweeping fiercely to the right and left. The maneuver was too precise, too sudden—clearly meant to enact a reverse encirclement on Fargus's armada, to swallow it whole while Lord Hedrick remained occupied elsewhere, completely unable to intervene for the moment!
The only solution was to retreat at maximum speed, widen the distance as much as possible, and maintain long-range bombardment. If they slowed even slightly and allowed that encirclement to close in fully… then everything—every ship, every soldier—would be finished in minutes!
