In truth, the Abyss Faction had not won the battle three days ago either.
After all, the price they had paid far exceeded that of the Heavenly Martial Dynasty.
But looking at it from another angle, they seemed to have achieved their objective through it.
Though the cost had been a little high, they had ultimately regained the chance to turn the tables.
Of course, aside from the losses three days ago, the Abyss Faction had also exposed quite a few things.
First, the hidden military strength within Tubo Fortress could not be underestimated. At the very least, it was more than ten times what they had discovered.
Second, the Abyss Faction seemed to be deliberately sending its weaker Elite Legions into the First Layer.
Third, the Black Robe Wizard had not given up on his schemes, and his endless methods had caught them somewhat off guard.
If not for the sudden battle three days ago, Xiao Tianyang and the strategists of the Heavenly Strategy Bureau might not have noticed the clues.
But that did not mean there were no troublesome matters.
Noticing a problem was one thing; investigating and resolving it had no necessary connection to the former.
In other words, Xiao Tianyang and the others still did not know what the Black Robe Wizard intended.
If Xiao Tianyang and the others could not effectively counter him before the battle in the southeast corner of the First Layer erupted,
then the result would be their dismal exit.
Perhaps they would have another chance to start over in the future, but it would absolutely not happen anytime soon.
For seven days, the flames of war on the First Layer had never ceased.
However, the main war zones had been concentrated in the southwest and northeast corners of the First Layer.
