Taking the initiative would lead to two possibilities. Firstly, they would be one step ahead of the enemy all the time, and would still be on the same pace with the enemy even if they were slowed.

Meng Guiyi's maze failed to stop the Half-Mermaids. As a result, the two parties were straightly engaged in a battle.
There were altogether 36 Half-Mermaids. Han Fei had no idea why there were so many of them when there were only twenty human beings. If the Half-Mermaids were as strong as those he countered in the earlier battle, even if the human beings were all Heavenly Talents, they would only be on par with them.
