Emery's sudden and eye-catching arrival into the field brought about a boost to the hundreds of acolytes who were fiercely fighting the elves. Their fighting spirit soared when they saw Emery was able to block the dark elf magus' spell easily and even launched a counterattack with a powerful strike that blew the magus away.
However, in spite of all this, the battle did not go as well as they hoped. Once the top acolytes engaged in the battle against the similarly powerful dark elves, the hundreds behind them were comparably weaker and in very poor condition.
There were already too many acolytes who were wounded and exhausted from the battle against the elves. As for those who were in good condition, they did not possess enough strength to confront the fully trained saint-level dark elf fighters.
