After the great battle, Du You had only six fifth-tier combatants remaining in his hands. The three who were severely injured followed the troops towards their own territory, needing to go back for cultivation to recover from their injuries.
In their own territory, the speed of recovery was obviously much faster than anywhere else.
The remaining three were handed over to the academy for unified command. There were definitely more Flame Giants out there than just the few encountered, as many fifth-tier Flame Giants had not returned to their tribe's land, and it was certain that there were still many hidden in the outside world.
But these fifth-tier Giants were like scattered sand, definitely no match for a military extermination force.
Of course, even so, those Giants were still of the fifth tier, and it was very difficult to exterminate them without using fifth-tier power. If the teams were only made up of fourth-tier and third-tier, going there might turn into a suicide mission.
