At last—
Two days later.
After three days of nonstop travel, pressing onward day and night without daring to delay, the Eternal Night Continent finally reached the western flank of the Frontline Battlefield. It gradually slowed until it stopped over a stretch of sea.
"This is the flank."
Chen Fan looked ahead thoughtfully.
