Chapter 1783: It Will Be Easy
"Which country was that guy from?" Rean couldn"t help but ask.
Luina looked at the rest of the information before saying, "From what"s told in the information, he ran back in the direction of Tramara Country."
As mentioned before, there were five countries bordering Butiva. One of them was Leticia"s country, Roslar, so the twins didn"t mind that one that much. The other four were Tramara, Jaxto, Lativan, and Brumel. Tramara, together with Lativan and Roslar, had the three biggest shared borders with Butiva. Jaxto and Brumel"s borders had smaller borders compared to the other three.
"Tramara, huh? The country that borders us on the north and northwest sides. Roan, did you guys find out which disciple took control over Tramara?" Rean asked.
Roan nodded, saying, "It"s a guy called Himisve."
"Himisve?" Luina pondered for a bit about the guy. "He"s also part of the humanoid races. In terms of overall strength, he"s pretty low in rank. I would put him as someone in the 80th to 90th position within the 100 disciples of the Jamai Sect that came to the Free Continent. However, I didn"t interact with him that much, so I don"t know if he"s hiding something or not."
Roan shook his head, telling her, "That"s unlikely. In fact, all the disciples in charge of the countries around us should be ranked very low among the Jamai Sect"s partic.i.p.ants. Don"t forget, everyone wanted to have a country close to the regional borders to be able to go on the offensive once ten years are up. Other than Leticia and you, all the other highly ranked disciples definitely got the border countries."
"I see..." Luina had to admit Roan was right. "That will make things easier for us."
The three quickly arrived at the teleport formations in Casgalas City before teleporting away. At the same time, Roan pa.s.sed several orders through the communication system, reading the armies.
Meanwhile, in Tramara Country, the Transition Realm cultivator that went out to check Butiva finally arrived at the capital. He went straight to Himisve, who was taking care of other businesses with his second subordinate. "Young Master Himisve, I bring bad news."
Himisve, who had been quite dejected since he was a.s.signed to this faraway country, looked back. "What is it, Grumol? Didn"t you go check Luina"s country to see if we could attack and take their army for ourselves?"
Grumol nodded, saying, "I did. However, it seems like Luina has the same idea as us. Their armies are all gathered not too far away from our borders. Also, they all seemed to be well equipped. Instead of us attacking, I"m pretty sure they"ll be the ones to launch the first attack."
Himisve narrowed his eyes before looking at his other subordinate. "Xanmica, you said you took part in a few wars before you were selected for this compet.i.tion. What do you think about it?"
Xanmica pondered over it for a bit before saying, "I don"t think there"s a need to worry. Although I didn"t intend to attack one after the compet.i.tion started, it"s not like we can"t muster our army now. I just didn"t expect someone would move faster than us."
Xanmica continued to speak, "I know what to do. Even if Luina"s army is close to our borders, it will take time to move everyone through. Don"t forget that we were intending to block all teleport formations before attacking, so let"s do that now."
"Should we try to send some forces through their teleport formations?" Grumol couldn"t help but ask.
However, Xanmica was wiser than that. "No. Did you forget? None of the Nascent Soul Realm spies we sent have returned from Butiva. It"s certain to say that they also blocked the teleport formations and are imprisoning or killing anyone coming from outside. That"s why I had you cross the border to investigate yourself. With your Transition Realm cultivation, unless Luina herself appeared, you could take a look and come back safely. Sure enough, you found what I wanted."
Xanmica then looked at Himisve, telling him, "Young Master Himisve, we should not cower at this moment. Since the enemy is preparing to attack, we must jump ahead and attack them first. Let"s use this opportunity to coerce Luina out of her sh.e.l.l and force her to submit." Xanmica was only worried about one thing. "Just to make sure, your Jamai Sect has a way of forcing another disciple to submit, right?"
Himisve nodded, saying, "Don"t worry. Every single member of the sect has to follow the sect"s rules. Once we force Luina out, I will force her to swear the Sect Oath. That means she"ll be under my command until the end of this Free Continent compet.i.tion. The best thing is that the Rambram Sect prepared this monitoring formation for all the elders outside to watch our war. That means the sect elders of our Jamai Sect will definitely be watching all the time. Once the Oath is made, none of the disciples will dare to go against it as they know that only death will await them back in Jamai Sect otherwise. Even Luina is not an exception."
Xanmica sighed in relief after that. "That"s good then. As for the war between Nascent Soul Realm warriors, you can leave it to me. Under my command, I can guarantee our success. It"s like I told you before, being placed in the center of Walfure Region isn"t that bad as we can conquer everyone around us."
Sure enough, Roan wasn"t the only one with the same idea. In fact, everyone eventually reached this conclusion after they got their countries a.s.signed. With that being said, even the disciples at the borders of other regions were preparing to swallow the disciples from other countries around them and their armies. It"s just that none of them thought the first regional war would start that quickly.
Himisve smiled after hearing that. "Good! Luina is definitely one of the top disciples of our Jamai Sect, but she"s still in the Initial Stage of the s.p.a.ce Bending Realm. She"s still too green to challenge me. This one will be easy."
