The fight went on for more than an hour. The opponents, the government soldiers were highly trained, hardworking citizens who were paid by the day in minimal amounts to fight and protect their country lest their families be in peril. They lived each day trying not to lose hope. Another battle, another day, that was the state of the soldiers of Zeliar.
Despite being incredibly powerful in arms, their minds were quite the opposite. When faced with the talented, driven and diverse minds of the Spiders and Death Six, it was only a matter of time until the government shield started to chip at the edges.
Ashe didn't fight, and no one had a problem with that either. She was like the queen who would watch over and instruct. The talented minds of their Zeliars needed a proper head, and that was Ashe. You'd think it would be Tybus, or Adrien or maybe Eren. But their strength was necessary, so they fought.
