While Reign and the others had attacked the horde from behind and started massacring the lower-leveled monsters, the players and elves of course didn't stay idle. The commander together with his royal guards was standing a couple of meters from the dome, they were ready to exit the dome and help Reign and the others at any moment, of course, that would be impossible right now as there was still a big number of elite monsters that were close to the dome.
Leaving the protection it offered would be no different than suicide at this point and they were waiting for a moment when the horde became completely disarrayed before charging at them. For now, they continued attacking the monsters with long-range attacks, contrary to before however, it was obvious that they were not going all out, doing that would make them spend a lot of mana and they wouldn't be able to deal significant damage to the monsters after initiating close-quarters combat.
