That wasn\'t the end-game. The end-game was to have Atlas divided, exhausted and weakened -- with an isolated, paranoid leader -- for when Salem arrived in person. The villains engaged in a number of tactics to make that end-game happen, of which the Grimm invasion was just one.

The Grimm invasion wasn\'t the point of Volume 7. Salem arriving once the heroes have been divided and the kingdom\'s resources exhausted was the point of Volume 7.
to:
The Grimm invasion was never the point of the volume. The point was for Salem to have an unexpected arrival at a kingdom whose resources were exhausted and whose defenders were divided.
The Grimm invasion was a tool used to exhaust the kingdom\\\'s military defences and distract the defenders from realising that Salem was destroying the long-range sensors to hide her approaching army. It was also one of several tools that was supposed to contribute to the kingdoms defenders becoming too divided to protect the kingdom when Salem arrived. In this third point, it actually failed, but it succeeded on the other two points.
The heroes \\\'\\\'thought\\\'\\\' the Grimm invasion was the point. They thought they were dealing with another Beacon scenario: Salem\\\'s subordinates being sent into the city to cause an invasion that will allow the school to be destroyed. They didn\\\'t know that the villains\\\' plan was different this time, that this was about prepping the kingdom for Salem\\\'s arrival.
