The opposing Sword Spike Elites have two backup teams.
From the beginning, they didn't go all out.
The team facing the front is merely bait; the other two groups are the true trump cards, meant to strike lethally at the Laiserman forces' weakened side.
The Brotherhood of Sword Spike has controlled the city of Usmer for over thirty years, surely not without some unique traits of their own.
If the less than a hundred aged Laiserman could easily overwhelm them, they would have been buried in the belly of the fish countless times.
Ferrican was not merely boasting.
If not for the protection of their Brotherhood of Sword Spike, this city with a fine port would have long been a pirate haven, exploited without mercy.
In that scenario, the civilians of Usmer would suffer far more than the harsh exploitation by the Sword Spike Brotherhood.
