The sea stretched endlessly.
The Western Expedition army's fleet had been sailing across the sea for three days, and so far, everything had gone smoothly.
In the past, steamships crossing between the Eastern and Western Continents needed at least three months adrift at sea.
The steamships used by the Western Expedition army this time had been built entirely with new technology and fitted with formations. Each ship was equipped with dozens of sorcerers who took turns maintaining the formations. According to prior estimates, if everything went smoothly, they could reach the Western Continent in as little as forty-five days.
But if they encountered violent winds and waves, or if something went wrong with the ships, it might take sixty days or even longer.
When the Military Affairs Department planned the campaign, it had prepared essential supplies such as Black Oil, fresh water, food, and pills for ninety days. This was nearly the maximum amount the fleet could carry after loading enough weapons and equipment.
In other words, if the Western Expedition army failed to make any gains or achieve any victories on the Western Continent, it would certainly be unable to send everyone home.
Even if some accident occurred along the route, it might not be able to get everyone to the Western Continent.
After all, this was the first large-scale transoceanic expedition in the history of the Great Blue Dynasty—or even of all humanity!
No one had enough experience, and no one could guarantee that accidents would not happen.
With the Great Blue Dynasty's current sailing technology, even with supernatural abilities assisting them, taking an army of more than four hundred thousand across the ocean was still far too difficult.
