As much as they hoped that it maintained as a shooting range, things were not as easy the moment the War Tortoises reached the beaches. When the Sea Hunters and Lyro Defenders assumed that they had the upper hand in the battle, it got ugly the moment the first War Tortoise stepped on land.
They started to absorb the sand at the beaches and immediately recovered the wounds that had been inflicted by the intensive bombardment. The same goes for those who the Lyro Defenders had sunk. Sure, they were not above sea level because of their injuries but the moment they touched the sea bed, the War Tortoises' wounds had been healed and they took the long way up to shore.
