The defenders in each country continued with the same method. They gave the demons a fierce fight supported by defensive structures, traps, and siege weapons. When those supports were almost exhausted, they made a tactical retreat.
This way, they cut down the demons' number while they kept their losses to the minimum. However, after retreating several times, the underworld forces still appeared as overwhelming as when the defenders first laid eyes on them. These demons didn't seem to decrease.
