In the lower deck area, the tactics of the ethereal entities were rather sinister.
They deliberately spared a batch of Protection Army soldiers, letting them continuously transmit messages, saying they were holding strong, saying they were about to fail.
Then, the reinforcements continuously sent by the Protection Army were relentlessly added in. They couldn't even reach the inner sector where the previous position was held, as they would be ambushed and raided by ethereal forces far outnumbering them on the way, and swiftly annihilated.
After destroying a considerable number of Protectorate forces here, almost clearing the surrounding areas, the ethereal entities did not continue with this tactic of besieging to aid reinforcements. Instead, they decisively wiped out the remaining enemies at the original position and then advanced boldly.
The ethereal entities did not forget the order from the Alliance Governor they worshiped.
