Goodley truly lived up to the reputation of being the most capable and battle-hardened general of the Heavenly Ancestor Church. When he realized that the exchange of fire yielded no advantage, and the Void Magic Corps failed to make any real impact, he opted for the simplest yet riskiest strategy to end the battle: dragging the fight directly into the decisive stage, a chaotic melee.
As soon as the melee began, the troops under Goodley's command encountered the terrifying power of the Rune Battleships firsthand. A standard Rune Battleship could easily fend off four or five enemy warships, while the War Steed turned out to be beyond outrageous—this ship alone encircled over a dozen enemy vessels and even chased them madly across the battlefield. The scene was utterly shocking.
