After capturing the Combat Platform, the Eternal Day Legion did not immediately pursue the enemy deeper into their territory.
The Mechanical Engineering Corps following behind was the first to enter the platform's depths.
They marked the Dark Sword Formations that had yet to die out completely, one by one. Several irreparable sections of the outer structure, along with the residual darkness power entrenched within them, were dismantled outright and pushed into the distance.
More Light-element Legion troops arrived from the rear in succession.
Rather than replacing the vanguard and continuing the assault, they spread out to either side along the newly opened area, holding the Darkness Sword Organization's troops, which were still trying to approach, outside the perimeter.
A severely damaged mechanical fortress also moved inside the stronghold at this time.
Venerable Blazing Day stood above the fortress. The wound near his shoulder had been temporarily sealed, but the dark rules that had invaded it had not yet been completely purged.
He glanced at the fighting still raging in the distance and did not demand that Jin Yi withdraw immediately.
The two Level-12 Strong Practitioners were still fighting deeper within enemy territory.
Precisely because Darkedge Sword Lord was pinned down there, the newly captured area had not immediately suffered an attack beyond what its garrison could withstand.

Venerable Darkedge Sword led a fresh contingent of troops in from another connecting route that had yet to be severed. Rather than attacking the positions where heavy cannons had already been set up, he targeted the outer perimeter, where deployment remained incomplete.
Venerable Blazing Day immediately raised his spear and went to meet him.
The war did not end simply because one stronghold had changed hands.
