While retreating and analyzing the situation, he clearly understood that the Oceanfolk's biggest strength was their numerical advantage.
Earlier, he had also feared their combat prowess, because the Mewi had been unable to fight against a single being at the same cultivation rank.
Fortunately, this was not the case anymore, and they were probably strong enough to face several beings at the same rank, at once.
Meanwhile, Jason felt that the Oceanfolk Elite was also divided into multiple units. Otherwise, it made no sense to him that the Peak Prismar stage beings were placed right in the center of the entire army, only to get slaughtered.
Either there was something wrong, or he was completely misinterpreting the situation.
For now, he had no issues defeating the Oceanfolk Elite that may be much stronger than he thought. However, their experience fighting on the lands was abysmally low, and the air seemed to be their nemesis.
