Leading the soldiers back from the battlefield, Soujin face was calm but the ripple in his eyes was apparent for those who know him personally. When he was fighting with Ye Jiu on the frontline, he realized it perfectly how he couldn't dictate the battlefield anymore. Although Ye Jiu focused on him completely, he already instructed his soldiers what they needed to do without him.
Because of that, the formation he had was almost immediately broken and any attempt to recover the formation ended in vain. No matter how he tried to back off from the fight and gave orders, Ye Jiu would pester him and made him fight with the other party. With their skill, there was no way they could determine the winner fast.
