"Never be embarrassed talking about money and asking for what you deserve." — Anne Robinson
By the time 30 seconds had passed, half of the ~100 defenders who had charged the bridge to push the siegers off their equipment were dead, as opposed to just a handful of Emerald Enclave players who had multiple offense ultimates dumped on them and died.
After a minute, almost 90 of them were dead, and the remaining ones ran back over the bridge in a hasty retreat.
Everyone in the entire battle was stunned by the outcome of the first clash between the two sides, not expecting such a one-sided slaughter to happen when most players had similar stats.
