Capítulo 1055: The End Of The Novel - Part 6

After all, if he let Arthur have his own way, the end result would be ugly, much uglier than what ever thought about.

He didn't care about losing all the troops he had, they weren't his people to begin with. In his eyes they were just minions, pieces he would move and discard whenever he wanted.

Yet the result of this attack was what he cared about. If he lost all his forces in return for nothing, nothing but the destruction of dozens of cities only, then this would be his defeat.

It wouldn't only be a defeat, but it would be rather a humiliation, a stain he would never be able to wipe in his entire life.

So just after he realized what Arthur did, and regained his sense and clarity of mind after such a really painful punch from his foe, the grandmaster found no other choice but to start his real attack.
