Time didn't pause in its tracks while Roland acted ridiculously in the Bardi capital.
In the west, the Auland Empire obtained their first ever victory against the Sea Tribe in their 68th assault wave. Much of it was thanks to Diana who had utilized her newfound power, draining the underwater base of all water and causing the battle to tilt in their favor. Auland's use of their Fleet of Death, without caring about losses, was also a deciding factor. Amid the counterattacks of the Sea Tribe royalty which came in great numbers, Auland relentlessly and steadfastly persisted in their defence.
It was only when the sun rose on the second day that the Auland humans finally retreated. More than 20 hours had passed—plenty of time for Auland's engineers to empty out everything in that underground base. Perhaps the Auland Empire's pride, their aerial fleet, would be arriving far earlier than in the game's history.
