The collapse of the Underworld Star Region had also greatly affected Wizard Civilization's other star region war zones.
For instance, the Wings of Light Star Territory battlefield where Saine was stationed had been forced by the crisis in the Underworld to end its resistance ahead of schedule, leading more of its surviving forces in a retreat farther to the rear.
One of the greatest differences between Wizard Civilization in its war against Evil Tide Civilization and the Galente Federation of old was that it would not commit the bulk of its main forces and elite strength to the initial clash of the war!
Because the likely outcome of that clash was Wizard Civilization's defeat.
Since defeat was inevitable, why do it at all?
Instead, Immortal Domain Civilization's tactics in recent years—resisting the Evil Tide's onslaught step by step and defending its Home Starfield in successive layers—had given Saine and the other Wizard Civilization powerhouses more inspiration.
It was not just the Immortal Domain; the Demon Subjugation Alliance was the same.
The three great powers of the Demon Subjugation Alliance had all had vast stretches of territory within their own star regions occupied by Evil Tide Civilization.
Yet none of those Top-Level Civilizations had perished because of it.
On the contrary, this style of warfare—trading space for time and room to catch their breath later—had allowed all of those Top-Level Civilizations to tap into even more of their own war potential.
Moreover, in the process, these Top-Level Civilizations could use their own living examples and flesh-and-blood pain to draw in and win over more World Civilizations from the Surrounding Starfield, bringing them into the resistance against the Evil Tide Crisis.
Even if they only won over some weak low-level Plane Worlds and Micro Planes, once the number of those Plane Worlds
