On the surface, Yahward and Lani achieved an unprecedented victory.
But in secret, the trap to encircle Yahward and put him to death is slowly closing.
Outside the city that Yahward has already occupied, Michael has revealed himself. He has already gathered an army of twenty thousand beside him, including not only the unit originally led by Michael but also forces scattered from other areas gradually converging on him.
Michael's force of twenty thousand troops has blocked the inevitable retreat path of Yahward.
It's no exaggeration to say that Michael has completely cut off Yahward's retreat.
Of course, Michael is well hidden, and Yahward's people have not discovered him, nor can they.
