The commanders of the Strong Army stared, dumbfounded.
Eight thousand kilometers and three thousand kilometers had once seemed like no distance at all to them. There was practically no difference; both could be crossed in an instant.
But before the powerful attacks of the Fire Sea and Fire Dragons, the gap between eight thousand kilometers and three thousand kilometers was still significant.
Because even a team of experts needed several minutes to close that five-thousand-kilometer distance while enduring the attacks of the Fire Sea and Fire Dragons.

The problem was, if losing hundreds of millions of experts allowed them to break through the Human Army's blockade, that would have been one thing.
But the Human Army could use teleportation to instantly retreat five thousand kilometers, which meant they could use the same method to retreat another five thousand kilometers again.
As long as the Great Flame Empire Army kept contracting, the space it created would be enough for the Human Army to fall back more than a dozen times.

The ten billion experts no longer hesitated at all.
They immediately turned around and began rapidly
