First, the terrain. Ahead lay a vast forest, a sprawl of dense woodland that would undoubtedly slow the army's advance.
Furthermore, the forest would provide natural cover for all sorts of Dark Creatures.
The invading armies could continue their fire attacks, but what would they do when their oil supplies ran dry?
Delilah was certain some Dark Creatures here also wielded water-based powers.
If their flames weren't potent enough, they could easily be extinguished.
At that point, they'd be bogged down in another war of attrition.
That kind of fight wasn't ideal for an invading force.
Invading armies needed to live off their conquests; plunder one place, then quickly move to the next.
Second, the enemy. In the region ahead, they'd face relentless attacks from Dark Bat Hawks.
These Dark Creatures were masters of sonic attacks. The Four-Winged Blood Bat that had previously encroached on their territory had been treated as an invader and besieged.
