Milton rushed towards the back of the enemy where Princess Violet was waiting with the reinforcements.

Siegfried’s expression hardened for the first time as he watched that scene.

‘Was he waiting for reinforcements this whole time?’

Siegfried thought he had captured all of them. Even as he was watching the enemy fighting inside the blockade, he had thought they were just making a final attempt. But now that he rethought it, they hadn’t been desperately struggling. The enemy had been fighting with a purpose. That’s why they purposefully left the castle and fought against the blockade. If they drew focus to the front of the blockade, then there would be a greater effect when reinforcements arrived behind their enemy.

That effect was now evident.
