Most of the heavy signatures in the ambient field had already withdrawn.
Fighters were returning to their assigned sectors, to Korreth's inner districts, and to their own ancestral compounds. The battle carried the specific, heavy quality of a conflict that had been decisively won rather than simply paused. The secondary breach points scattered across the region were going dark one by one as the available Master-level fighters finished the slaughter. The only massive anomaly left in the ambient field was the primary breach point two kilometers east of the city limits. Kaito was no longer holding that line alone. Other Masters had converged on his position over the last hour. That problem was officially being handled.
