Karstly had maneuvered them all the way to the back of Khan's formation. They were on the right-hand side, a distance away from any chariots. Now all that waited them was a row of wide open back. It seemed to be the very same conditions as had been present on the first day – but Karstly gave no orders to attack. Nor did he show any signs of giving them.
It would have been easy to dismiss the man as foolish, and assume that he just hadn't seen the perfect opportunity that was being dangled in front of him, but now Oliver knew Karstly to be far from such. If Karstly wasn't attacking, then that meant that was a reason for it. There was likely some tactic that he didn't see that Khastly had, or some strategic disadvantage that they would incur if they snatched for it. It was a frustrating feeling not to be able to see the reason behind it, but it wasn't an unfamiliar one. He'd had that feeling hammered into him with regularity whenever he faced Volguard or Skullic on the battle board.
