The garrison at First Line Pass gradually retreated, while tens of thousands of Demon Clan warriors from the Fire Phoenix camp remained in place.
Pursuit was impossible; the Demon Clan at the Fire Phoenix camp clearly understood that, despite the considerable losses, the Human cultivators opposite them were far from being seriously harmed, and their number of strong fighters outnumbered theirs by several folds. They had no ability to launch a pursuit.
As for retreating.
Clearly, this was not a decision they could make. Just behind them, over ten thousand Wolf Riders were pressing forward, commanded by the Military Governor, forcing them to charge towards First Line Pass.
This was the epitome of being caught between a rock and a hard place.
