As reinforcements, they were going to support the Smith Kingdom. There was no reason to let the Smith Kingdom bear the greatest risk.
On this point, Zhou Xu and Yalveth quickly reached a consensus. When they confirmed their tactics with the Smith Kingdom, they would naturally advance and retreat together.
During this process, the Pegasus Knight whom Yalveth had sent to confirm the situation hurried back.

But no matter how he thought about it, that seemed unlikely.
According to the intelligence they had, during that battle, the Smith Kingdom had feared the Blood Hand Clan's three Vajra Realm experts and maintained a defensive posture throughout.
