You finally learned what the war was about. A long lost rivalry.

Gold had started it, stating that his Kingdom easily had the better military force. Shadowvoid's ruler made a comment that they didn't need a good military force to beat them. Thus how the war started. However, something happened in one of the battles and now it wasn't sure if the war was actually still going or if there was something else.

Gold thought the war was still going and was determined to win. But he was unsure if Shadowvoid thought the same thing, which led to his doubt.

You looked over your plan. If you could get Gold to play a defensive role until you could check Shadowvoid, then you could win this.
