Honestly, I could buy the fact that a small group of adventurers could outrun a large army on the march and may have a bit of a "calm before the storm" time to try to prepare.
But how in the hells did the giant brain make it to the city, and somehow manage to hide itself underground, all before we got there and without anyone noticing?
Regarding some kind of "major engagement," if one were added, I think it would make sense for it to be that the heroes + allies destroy some sort of bridge or mountain pass, forcing the Absolute's army to take a longer route while the heroes rush ahead.
This wasn't really a major issue for me, but it was just a little bit hard to figure out what the timeline was.
