That fireball explosion distracted the other six Elite Kobold Fighters on Chief. The Chief took that chance to take down one of them before retreating, getting some distance from the remaining five Elite Kobold Fighters.
The Chief suffered a lot, with gushing wounds on her chest, belly, and thigh. Stabbing wounds on his back and chest. He caught his breath after breaking free of the encirclement. The kobold was truly close to taking down the Chief. It was just a matter of time until Red showed up.
Red assessed the situation. The Chief was without a doubt the key to winning this battle. He could not allow the Chief to die here. Even if he killed all Elite Kobold Fighters, if the Chief was dead. That would be the end of their village.
The kobold's next attack would destroy the village without the Chief's protection. So even if they killed all of Kobold's reinforcements, but the Chief died, then it was their loss.
