It caused even more severe delays and damage to Lynn's forces. Because of logistical problems, both sides were practically dragged into an infantry war.
To prove themselves, the vampire army proposed a nighttime assault tactic, inflicting heavy losses on Lynn's army, which had only light weapons.
Faced with this difficult situation, Leirus suggested bringing the Merfolk Race into the ranks and having them search for the enemy.
Meanwhile, Lucia went straight ahead with a plan to raid the royal capital: strike and run!
At the same time, she organized the recovered Wendigos and brought the Tiger demi-humans, Bear Demi-humans, and other cold-resistant demi-humans into the war—especially those skilled at hunting prey in winter.
But Hakami was defended by tens of thousands of soldiers. It wouldn't be easy to take.
By this point, the war was no longer a contest of tactics.
It had become a contest of strategy.
The two sides were evenly matched.
Dania ordered the vampires to harass the enemy at night and the regular troops to harass them by day, keeping up the fighting around the clock. They used winter camouflage to make it nearly impossible for Lynn's army to move, while also severely damaging its organization. (They couldn't get a good night's sleep, supplies couldn't keep up, and there was little coal for the winter. The stoves could only be kept burning by going out to gather firewood.)
Gray also launched round-the-clock harassment. At night, he used vampires and nocturnal creatures (bird demi-humans, such as owls); during the day, he used the day-active demi-humans.
The war had turned into a battle of sniping and shelling.
At the same time, Yuffie continued sending more soldiers to the front to strengthen the defenses.
Lucia had run out of options, so she spent her points and went all in.
