"No, Captain, there are too many Rock Monsters, they are attacking from all directions. If this continues, both of our forces will be slaughtered," the Southern Expedition Army split into two, attempting to break out from the depths of Mist Canyon.
However, they did not anticipate that the number of Rock Monsters was several times more than earlier when they entered Mist Canyon.
The Dragon Knights used crossbows, swords, and even a few precious Dark Crystal Bombs, but the number of Rock Monsters was even greater.
They formed groups of three or two and launched separate attacks on the Dragon Knights.
These monsters, though inanimate, displayed strong organizational skills in facing the attack: one monster took on blocking the Dragon Knights' assault, another handled defense, and another cut off their retreat.
Step by step, they cornered the Dragon Knights into a dead-end, as if there was a tactically shrewd advisor commanding them from behind.
