One had to say that although Kanis had overestimated the kind of Spirit resources available in Orveth, he had correctly estimated the kind of trump cards available to Aksai.
Kanis's subordinates acknowledged his orders and began coordinating the necessary arrangements. Several cultivators who had been maintaining the outer siege adjusted their positions, while others started preparing the formation components they had brought along.
The spatial-locking formation would require additional effort to establish, but Kanis considered it worthwhile. If the island's owner had prepared a spatial treasure in advance, a simple siege might not be enough to prevent his escape.
As for why he assumed that the island's owner hadn't already escaped, it was because only someone like him could keep the island's formation running while Rumaal and his wives were trying to break through it by force.
