The encirclement was completed.
The Star Foxes had successfully gone one full circle around Ress' territories and they were able to lure the demons around Ress before an opening at the southern tip of the barrier was available for them to go through.

They had no idea what was in the minds of the higher ups or their king but they could only trust that what they were doing was the correct thing.
