The battle that followed held little suspense. After Li Wei's bombardment, the barbarian and goblin forces had suffered devastating losses, with fewer than one in ten left alive.

The gates opened, and adventurers and soldiers charged onto the battlefield to hunt down the survivors.
Li Wei turned the fortress back into a combat vehicle and led the others in pursuit, its engine chugging away. Naturally, the barbarians and goblins could not outrun a vehicle. In just a few minutes, Li Wei plowed straight through their remaining formation, then blocked their escape route from behind.
Just as the barbarians and goblins prepared to fight their way through, Li Wei let out Katie and the three little ones, who had long been itching for action, to give them some more combat experience.
Katie mainly fought the barbarians, while the three little ones worked together against the goblins. As always, Li Wei watched from the sidelines without intervening.
He had noticed that all three little ones had improved tremendously, though he was not sure whether fighting was the reason.

Wherever she pointed, she hit, taking down a goblin with every bolt.
The three little ones obviously had no systems, but perhaps their rapid growth
