Before the pact binding the Armakea Knights to the Armakea King, there had already been some subtle changes happening in the confrontation between the puppets and the knights.
The most prominent but not easily noticed change was the knights' formation.
Because the knights did not have the time to devise a plan before they were released from the sphere and saw they were surrounded by puppets, they fought side by side with their teams and leaders.
At first, they believed their number advantage could easily overwhelm the puppets. However, they were proven wrong when they realized that a team of ten knights could barely fight three puppets.
The higher-ranked knights noticed this and slowly communicated with the team leaders to team up with others. Since they had the number advantage, they proposed three teams of ten knights to team up and confront as many puppets as they could.
