That meant they were going to use fiends as the leaders of the defending forces in every zone. And that also meant I had to scatter out my soulers, visit lots of places to crush these fiends.
"Why would I do that?" After thinking about this for enough time, I found how silly such a tactic was. If the enemy had time to recall reinforcements here, then I also had enough time to think deeply about the tactics I should use down there.
Thinking that I needed to roam the entire area, hunting down fiends in the middle of all this mess was a logical thing to think about, but it didn't mean it was the only path I got here.
After all, the eleven paths would land at eleven points that weren't that much further away from each other. And that meant I could simply work hard to secure the initial landing spot of my forces and kill all the fiends there.
