The Star Lord ordered a retreat, but on a battlefield like this, withdrawing was clearly no simple matter.
The Star Alliance front was under a joint assault by the Divine Realm's and Spirit Realm's armies. The three sides were locked in battle, and Liang Ji and the others were leading the retreat of the great formation made up of the Artificial Star Domains. One misstep could cause the entire line to collapse, turning a retreat into a rout!
If that happened, not only would the Star Alliance front suffer even greater casualties and losses, but it would also make it easier to disrupt the defenses being reorganized farther back from the Void Sea battlefield, where the Star Alliance front had been redeployed.
That could lead to a complete defeat for the Star Alliance, as its enemies from the Divine Realm and Spirit Realm broke through layer after layer of defenses and attacked the borderlands.
In the worst case, the Star Alliance might not even be able to hold its own borderlands. The armies of the Divine Realm and Spirit Realm could breach the border defenses and invade the Star Alliance itself, causing massive casualties, destruction, and devastation.
