The leader of the army didn't expect that they would have such bad luck as to attack just when Shire was around.
Although both were at Rank 8, Shire was still higher in level, so it was obvious who would have the advantage.
It was hard to kill someone on the same Rank once one was at such high levels, but Shire was more than enough to tie him, which would drastically lower the power of the army.
After all, only the leader was at Rank 8. It didn't matter how strong their clan was, they didn't have a lot of people on Rank 8, and they couldn't all be waiting near Bea.
Ina year or two, they would have managed to bring another Rank 8 expert, so their chances would have been far better, but there wasn't any other Rank 8 with time until then.
The strongest experts always were busy when managing a clan with ambition.
