Belrosi IV took a step back.
This was the first step he had taken backward in this battle, and it was significant because Ji Xinghe had taken a step forward.
In the previous battle, Ji Xinghe had made many attempts to advance, hoping to lessen the distance to weaken the advantage of the Mecha Spear's length, and to exploit the Mecha Heavy Sword's threat for every lost inch of reach.
However, every attempt had been thwarted, his sword unable to break through Belrosi IV's defense, forced to retreat just after advancing a single step.
However, after he took this step, he did not retreat, instead forcing Belrosi to step back in order to maintain distance.
This small step for Ji Xinghe was a large one for the Mountain-cutting plan.
"Speed, strength."
"These are two elements that can determine the outcome of a battle."
Ji Xinghe, exerting real effort, spoke again, making everyone who could hear his voice unexpectedly astonished, even alarmed.
