Just prior the start of the frontal battles, Shali took his men on a detour. Since they needed to pass through the dense forest, the number of men brought along wasn't many.
In addition to his two hundred second-tier Quicksand Soldiers and a few priests, the number of first-tier Quicksand Soldiers he brought was minuscule. In total, the forces only added up to five hundred men, a massive difference compared to the number in frontal battles.
The Sandpeople that moved this time around brought five thousand men, a number that could compare to some large tribes.
All the others, apart from these five hundred, were left on the front battlefields, even the Sand Sculpture Knights were there.
Regrettably, what they didn't know was that someone was already waiting for them here.
"Have they arrived? It's time for us to act," Lin Yushi was becoming somewhat impatient.
Lin Yucha pacified her younger sister: "Wait a bit more, let them come in, this is our home court."
