As long as the walls didn't fall, Glory Capital wouldn't be able to create a respawn point within Ruling Sword's Stronghold. If Sorrowless could break down the walls and plant a respawn point within it, his troops could infiltrate the Stronghold and even if they were to die fighting, they would at least be able to save time by spawning right into battle. In the end, Ruling Sword had once again successfully defended the Black Sea Coast against Glory Capital.
Ruling Sword's defense of their Grey Valley Stronghold was equally successful. Despite Seventh Heaven's aggressive strategy, with the Ancient of Lore summoning endless armies of Saplings, even the most forceful advances looked like child's play. The Saplings may have had low health, defense and attack, but their numbers made them a notable threat. With the Saplings by Ruling Sword's side, Seventh Heaven never stood a chance.
