Lev watched the scene unfold in despair. A wrong decision had cost them so many troops. Unless something unexpected happened, the Demon God Pillars' operation in this Singularity was destined to fail. All they could do now was struggle on their last legs.
The Shadow Servants who had rushed out earlier to kill Artoria were still alive and had not been completely wiped out by that strike. But with only a little over four hundred Shadow Servants left, perhaps only a few of whom could unleash Noble Phantasms, there was absolutely no way they could turn the tide!
That was a full fifth of the Shadow Servants! A fifth of the twelve-thousand-strong Shadow Servant army he had painstakingly accumulated had been buried in one blow!
If handled properly, these Shadow Servants, together with the Demonic Crusaders and the vampire army, would have been enough to fight Lion King, Sun King, and the Mountain People in a decisive battle and emerge victorious!
The endlessly reviving Demonic Crusaders could have fought Holy City Camelot, while the Shadow Servant army gathered to attack the Sun King. Even if he had the Radiant Composite Great Temple, Lev was confident that, leading these armies, he could swiftly kill the Sun King and eliminate this second-greatest threat outright. The Sun King did not have Chaldea's help!
As for the third faction, the Mountain People, no matter how skilled they were at assassination, they would be utterly useless against an army of vampires and ghouls!
The number of ghouls in the African ghoul nests alone was enough to make the relatively small Mountain People collapse. Only those Hassans with different skills were dangerous. If they truly fought, the vampires could gang up on the Hassans, while simply throwing in hundreds of thousands of ghouls would be enough
