"This should be enough. We will now divide the raid team into two."
Gilhause announced as he looked at the destruction of the cultist hideout caused by him and his team. The two Expert-level cultists had already managed to run away. Gilahause wasn't focused on killing or capturing them anyway.
He also had a newly promoted Expert rank army officer with him. However, equal numbers didn't mean anything when it came to C-rank and above.
Gilhause knew that battling with two Expert-ranked cultists was detrimental to his mission, which only required him to destroy the hideout. And the cultists knew that battling with two Expert-ranked army officers from Edinburgh was detrimental to their escape.
This was a mutual act of disengagement. Thus, the C-rankers on both sides decided to play safe. They didn't aggravate each other and allowed the other side to carry on with what they were doing.
