The pace of the Attica Knights had increased continuously, so their formation began to show a slight disorder. However, in terms of momentum, they still maintained absolute initiative and advantage. They kept closing in and striking from both sides, then tearing through and breaking the enemy lines, attempting to utterly defeat the Homer Knights before they could escape.
The Homer Knights proved to be remarkably resilient. Though they fought while in retreat, their formation remained intact. The way they maintained a teasing distance was particularly frustrating for the Attica Knights, who could not land the finishing blow. At the most crucial moments, the Homer Knights would deftly accelerate to break away, leaving the Attica Knights' efforts in vain—a fact that made Viscount Basman wish he could personally charge to the front to bite into those fleeing Homer Knights.
