The troops of the Empire jumped off the ships, safely landing on the parts of the shore covered by the silver shields.
The Empire didn't send troops to probe the situation at that time, the entirety of the reinforcements jumped off the ships at the same time and prepared themselves for the imminent battle.
There were still about fifty rank 3 cultivators on the Empire's side, Noah's group had managed to inflict heavy losses during the last battle, bringing the forces of both sides on a similar number.
Yet, part of Noah's group had been sent to refill the ranks on the other islands, making the accomplishments obtained in the previous battle almost pointless from their perspective.

His gaze was fixed on the shore as the troops of the Empire began to advance.
