"Push! They're on their last legs!" exclaimed Commander Hurkan at the south gate with a frown.
The Alicia Unit and the Grover Unit had long since broken through the gates they were attacking.

This was not good.
While this delay would not directly cause the operation to fail, it increased the risk of exposure to danger, as it also gave the opposing side more time to respond to their attack.
Blas' reinforcements proved to be a bit too challenging for the Hurkan Elites to steamroll.
Nonetheless, the city lord's small reinforcement of five hundred eventually fell, and Blas himself barely managed to escape with his life.
But he bought precious time for the reinforcements to arrive.
