Chapter 1796: They Will Not Attack

Chapter 1796: They Will Not Attack

Kastrabe wasn't any better. The twins understood that they had reached the limit of what they could do to hide their Transition Realm experts and the imitation badges. Then again, the forces the twins positioned to defend against Lativan had over twenty Transition Realm cultivators and demon beasts! Let alone those at the Elemental Transformation Realm and below.

One could imagine what happened after these forces came out to fight for the first time. Kastrabe's forces were quickly dealt with. It was so easy that the twins had the time to ask these higher-level experts to just knock the enemies out. Well, they would need soldiers for the time the regional wars started, so it wasn't a good idea to kill too many.

The worst part for Kastrabe was that he was expecting Luina, Himisve, and Lanteo to join forces to take Etivinia down. At most, only one of those three would be defending Butiva's south and southwest borders. If it was only one, Kastrabe could deal with that expert. However, not only did one appear, all three of them appeared once Kastrabe came out to battle.

To be fair, Roan wanted to use at least one of those three to attack Brumel with Leticia. However, Leticia sent a message to him saying that she didn't need help. All she needed was for the army of Butiva to attack Brumel, and that would be enough to lure Etivinia out. Once that was done, she was more than enough to make Etivinia surrender.

Luina backed Leticia up, telling the twins that Leticia could indeed do that. Only then did the twins decide to use Luina, Lanteo, and Himisve at the same time against Kastrabe.

Another good thing about this war was that there wasn't much of a point in running away. All the Space Bending Realm disciples of the Jamai Sect had similar cultivations. If they put all their strength into escaping, even three Space Bending Realm opponents probably wouldn't be enough to stop it. However, in this Free Continent competition, running away was even worse than surrendering.

Why? Because all the elders of the Jamai Sect were watching them! Their lives in the Jamai Sect would be much worse if they fled than if they tried to defend themselves until the very end. Besides, even if they decided to flee, what would be the point? If anything, they would need to enter another country and ask the Disciple from there to help them. For that to happen, the one who fled would be forced to take the Sect Oath either way. Otherwise, the disciple in the country they fled to would never accept them. So, what was the point?

Of course, Etivinia and Kastrabe could have tried to flee to another country and then fight the disciple stationed there. Perhaps if they won, they could force that disciple to take the Oath. Unfortunately, the chance of that happening would be ridiculously low. Even Luina, Lanteo, and Himisve working together wouldn't be able to stop another disciple from fleeing. Naturally, Kastrabe and Etivinia knew that they wouldn't be able to stop whoever they attacked from fleeing either. Worse than that, they would be attacking this other disciple on their turf. Chances were they would lose instead.

Six months into the Free Continent competition. Butiva Country now had five countries under its flag. Four of them were sect disciples who were forced to take the Oath, while Leticia joined it on her own accord.

It went without saying that the countries further out from Butiva had their full attention on Butiva. Especially the fact that Butiva succeeded in creating copies of the anti-cultivation suppression badges. How could any of them fight an army that had a ton of cultivators at the Transition Realm and below with only a bunch at the Nascent Soul Realm? That would be ridiculous!

Back in Butiva, the System Sect had already started to send out Formation Masters to spread the antennas and increase the range of the communication system even more. Rean wanted all six countries connected and properly added to the System Sect's management system.

In a meeting room, Rean, Roan, Leticia, and the other disciples and their subordinates were all gathered. Other than Leticia and Luina, the rest of the Jamai Sect disciples didn't look very happy to be there, though. Unfortunately, the Oath was absolute.

Himisve kind of accepted the situation already, though. "Sigh... I can't believe that all four of us were taken down in just six months. Well, it is what it is." He then looked at the twins and Luina after that. "So, what are our next steps?"

Rean nodded before explaining, "You were correct to say that the conquest happened too quickly. At the moment, everyone in the System Sect is overloaded with work, trying to add all the countries into the system for better management. Also, it'll take even longer to weaponize all countries' armies. For now, we shall not attack anyone but organize our forces first."

Lanteo narrowed his eyes in response. Since he would be forced to fight for Butiva, then he better be fighting for the winning side. "Isn't that too naive? Do you think the other countries bordering our previous territories won't do anything? It isn't a secret anymore that your System Sect can create copies of the badges. With that being said, I can guarantee you that the Space Bending Realm disciples of the Jamai Sect from those countries will ally against us. They all understand that they'll have no future if they betray each other since our forces are much stronger. Only by gathering Space Bending Realm disciples will they have a chance against our army of soldiers at the Transition Realm and below."

Roan nodded in agreement. "We obviously know that. By now, even an idiot would have noticed that the Jamai Sect disciples could join the battles that happen inside Walfure Region from the start. However, you don't need to worry. Even if they ally with each other, they won't attack."
