Battles continued within and outside the territory. Mao managed to block off the breaches on his side, though the other spots weren't quite as efficient.
For example, in Victor's area, another burst of enemies had gotten inside. Their section of battlement had been weakened by the previous battle and hadn't quite recovered again.
A lot had already entered, but they trusted the teams deeper in the territory were handling it. Of course, they would do their part to hopefully stop anymore from entering.
There had been no new flares for a while, so it could be assumed the other areas had been handled. The rule was that only one flare per area would be used unless the situation was already greatly disadvantageous for them.
