Every step that Rocky took after they crossed the threshold for the boundary of the outer palace was measured.

The plan that Rocky had in mind, required for him to retreat past this point in times of emergency and hence every step that he took since was measured and calculated.

'71..72…73..74' Rocky kept counting his footsteps continuously, as he knew that the maximum radius which he could cover was at about 320 steps.

Anything more than 320 steps and the speed of a chasing tier4 warrior might prove to be sufficient to take him down and hence Rocky was apprehensive about every step that he took towards the inner prison.

"We are here–" Sophia said eventually when Rocky was at 143 steps, as she stopped before a large metal door that seemed like the physical barrier between the tunnel and the inner prison.
