Chapter Approaching
There were five regions surrounding Walfure.
Crimew Region in the north;
Povast Region in the west;
Invank Region in the east;
Legoqer Region in the southeast;
And Antifas Region in the northeast.
In the south and southwest, one would find the border of the Free Continent itself. It"s worth remembering that the Free Continent was located at the edge of the center of the Realm of G.o.ds. That meant the continent the Walfure Region bordered was not considered part of the center.
The Jamai Sect was given this border region for the same reason the Jamai Sect disciples didn"t want a country in the center. It was because of their lower rank compared to the other 56 continents partic.i.p.ating. The top-ranked continents, like Zangron"s continent, were located very close to the center of the Free Continent, although Zangron"s was on the north side.
Last but not least, the Walfure Region was located in the south-southwest of the Free Continent. That meant the twins would need to head north-northeast if they wanted to reach the center.
Back when the compet.i.tion started, the Rambram Sect warned everyone that the region located at the very center of the Free Continent would not have any partic.i.p.ants in it. Well, it was also probably the region the Soul Gem System asked the twins to head to. However, before the Rambram Sect said so, none of the regions could enter and conquer it.
So far, that was Rean and Roan"s main objective. Whether they could win this war or not didn"t matter that much. Of course, for Luina and their own sake, they would try to win it. That was because the continental barriers of the Free Continent were also protected. The Kibin in Lian"s forehead could not enter it, just like it couldn"t enter Jhiod Continent"s barrier.
With that said, Roan worked on his plan with the rest, aiming at a single target, the center. Unfortunately, he knew that simply attacking all the regions on the north-northeast side would be the worst idea possible. Even if he succeeded in making a straight line there, the regions that would fall in Walfure"s hands would be vulnerable. Any other region could launch an attack and divide the Walfure Region"s forces since it was just a long straight line of regions.
With that, Roan"s plan was to conquer the entire southwest region where his Walfure Continent was located. At the very least, he did not want to create a situation where the region"s forces would be divided if they lost a region.
At the meeting a day before the start of the war, Roan pa.s.sed a few orders that no one expected. "Once the war starts, none of the armies will move. Just stay put and wait for my orders."
Ramon couldn"t help but ask in response. "We have a lot of anti-cultivation suppression formations. Why should we wait? We can literally steamroll the regions around us and expand our influence."
The others agreed with Ramon. It was their chance to create a foothold so that they wouldn"t lose even if they lost Walfure.
However, Roan shook his head in response to that. "There"s no need. Just keep your positions, as I said. You"ll soon understand why."
Meanwhile, Rean was attending another meeting with Havek and other Formation Masters. "It"s good that everything worked out as planned. Did you guys come across any obstacles? Don"t forget that we need to keep it a secret for as long as possible. At the very least, keep it a secret until we start fighting the surrounding continents."
Havek nodded, saying, "Everything worked out just fine. The illusion formations are very small, after all. Even if one or two are found, it"ll be difficult for the enemies to find all of them."
Orvis was one of the responsible people for the plan. "The biggest problem was to move deep into the other regions. Everyone was expecting spies and things like that to try something, so the security at the borders was very high. Fortunately, we didn"t need to get close to any of the cities. That gave us some freedom to move."
Klaus agreed with him. "Indeed. Another problem was obviously the time. Since we didn"t want to be found, we had to move around the surrounding regions without relying on the teleport formations of the cities. You can already imagine how long it took to reach the furthest parts without using a single teleport formation."
Rean smiled in response, replying, "That"s why Havek and I gave everyone the badges and only sent out Transition Realm Formation Masters. After all, they would be able to fly to reach those parts. I"m happy to see that all of you got back."
Suddenly, Roan called Rean through their soul connection. "I"m heading to the north of our continent, so I"ll be out of range for the Dimensional Realm to be accessible."
Rean didn"t mind. "I"ll stay here to manage everything. Even though Tatiana"s group prepared all the resources, I prefer to watch over them by myself. My Divine Sense bending skill will tell me if any s.p.a.ce Bending Realm enemy gets close."
Roan nodded before taking the teleport formation.
"The s.p.a.ce Bending Realm partic.i.p.ants and their two subordinates shouldn"t be allowed to attack at first, no? The Rambram Sect Master did warn everyone that they could only join the battlefield if they see that they are about to lose their regions."
Rean knew that. "Indeed. However, can you guarantee that none of these regions are just subordinates to some other? Perhaps they"ll gladly be disqualified as long as they can take our Walfure Region down. This is just a security matter since the first few days will be pretty chaotic for us."
"That they will," Havek knew what was about to happen.
In the north of the Walfure Region, there was a country called Revasp. That was the country bordering Crimew Region, as well as the one Olly was given. That"s the country Roan decided to stay in during the start of the war as it and the other countries in the north had the biggest armies on their borders. Roan also had several different communication badges in his hands, each one used for different countries there.
Suddenly, the badges from various regions began to activate, all with the same messages. From the looks of it, enemies were approaching.
