Any lapse would be seized upon by the opponent and magnified without limit, like a snowball rolling downhill, ultimately leading to one's defeat.
Especially when everyone's combat power was roughly equal, they could not afford to take risks lightly.
More and more lords realized this and quickly adjusted their mindsets.
They began choosing to fight steadily, first analyzing their opponents' strength before making targeted moves.

She flicked her finger, and hundreds of millions of plants erupted into motion
