How arrogant!!
Victor—along with many others—had been guarding the area where the array was nearest to. They had quite a few level 12s and 13s in their midst, so all hands were needed.
This was why when he saw an emergency flare, he could not go there immediately. This was a similar case with the other soldiers. They separated themselves equidistantly along the wall in hopes of balancing out the defenses as much as possible—knowing that the slightest openings would be taken advantage of.
He hoped that someone would be able to get there on time, but it looked like the enemy was attacking aggressively everywhere that even Mao and the others were preoccupied elsewhere.
Of course, there was also the fact that Daga and the others chose this area specifically because it had relatively weaker guards.
