Three Months Later
A lot has changed after the Crimson Slayer Sect's last battle. People who were initially uninterested in the war, believing in the Battle Maiden Sect's swift victory, began directing their attention toward it.
This wasn't just the case for the Major Orthodox and Unorthodox Factions but almost all medium powers and families as well. With every battle, Aelina lost more disciples, and her territory was continuously ruined. The Sect's losses weren't nearly just people but resources. Lots and lots of resources.
Of course, Aelina and the Elders swooped in and gathered as much as they could before each battle, but even with their strength, there was a limit to what they could do.
Many thought that she was crazy for not just ending this war in one fell swoop, saving countless deaths and resources. There were even some that thought the Battle Maiden Sect would soon be a large, fat piece of meat waiting to be sucked dry.
