Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and signaled the rear units to fall back, rapidly clearing the combat airspace.
A clash at this level was far beyond what standard troops could endure.
This wasn't just a battle—it was a purge. A brutal power reckoning within the Phoenix Empire itself.
And Ethan had no intention of stepping in.
At least, not yet.
What mattered now was letting this internal conflict bleed them dry—drain their core strength from within.
As for who emerged victorious?
Whoever it was would become the perfect entry point for Emerald Castle to seize control of the Phoenix Empire.
Above, the battle escalated into a full-blown inferno.
The White Lion and the white dragon collided again and again, each impact detonating waves of energy that tore through the sky. Spatial rifts spread like spiderwebs, threatening to collapse the entire airspace.
