The Compound Eye Army engaged in a firefight with the Second Army of the Special Assault Force, which accounted for 20% of the military strength, while retreating to a distance of thirty light-years from the Stargate.
However, the Second Army did not engage in fierce battles with the enemy. Instead, they often retreated after making brief contact, doing their utmost to harass the enemy and force them out of the curvature flight path, delaying their advance.
Time was delayed for nearly a month. With the support of top warriors like Tiffany Bell, the First Army of the Special Assault Force annihilated the defenders at the cost of 30% military strength and began to advance head-on in the direction the Compound Eye Army came from.
After another three weeks, the Compound Eye Army finally approached within fifteen light-years of the First Army under the harassment of the Second Army.
