Compared to the endless, densely packed, utterly innumerable magical beasts, if five thousand Misaka Sisters were thrown into their midst, even a single magical beast spitting once would probably be enough to drown all five thousand of them.

Therefore, if the five thousand Misaka Sisters acted, then as long as the ninth-rank magical beasts did not join the battle, the Magical Beast Legion would definitely be stopped!
By then, the surviving defenders of the Baruba Empire's Royal City would have enough time to await rescue and withdraw from the battlefield.
