Death… And Me

Chapter 1814: I made sure they will

The Jamai Sect disciples were surprised to see that. On all fronts against the five regions, armies approached Walfure. It also seemed to be a last-minute plan, catching them off guard.

Seeing that, Roan used the communication badges to pass his message. ʼNow you know why I couldnʼt send any of the armies to attack.ʼ Sure, Roan did his best to keep information from escaping Walfure Region. However, after the wars that happened between their own countries, it would have been way too hard to hide their high-level soldiers. 

The regions around Walfure understood that since Walfure had found a way to negate the Cultivation Suppression Formationʼs effects, they couldnʼt let them be. They allied with each other and immediately attacked Walfure as soon as ten years had passed. The longer they waited, the more cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits in Walfure would obtain the anti-cultivation suppression formation badges.

Roan wasnʼt really worried, though. In his eyes, it was a last-second struggle as the continents surrounding them knew that they didnʼt have any chance against Walfure. 

ʼAll of you have to understand one thing. A region with nothing more than Nascent Soul Realm soldiers will never have a chance against a region with soldiers at the Soul Transformation Realm and above. The rules of this competition are totally on our side,ʼ Roan explained.

Quite a few were confused about a few points, though. Sure, the armies coming their way were all in the Nascent Soul Realm. Since they had many forces in the Soul Transformation Realm up to the Transition Realm, those enemies couldnʼt possibly win. However, one must not forget that this five-region alliance had a total of five hundred Space Bending Realm participants! On the other hand, they only had one hundred, so how could they fight that many?

Rean, who was listening to Roanʼs messages, couldnʼt help but sigh after hearing that. ʼWhy donʼt you give them a better explanation? Ah, whatever. Let me do it.ʼ After that, Rean connected to all the communication badge owners.

ʼThe rules of the Free Continent competition mentioned one thing that will guarantee our victory against these regions. It mentioned that the regionsʼ participants and their subordinates couldnʼt join the battles. This rule could only be ignored if they were about to lose their continent. The opposite is also valid. If the continent they were conquering was about to be taken down, that means the enemies could send their Space Bending Realm participants to defend. In that case, they could also use their own people to finish the job.ʼ

Rean laughed after saying that. ʼHahaha! This specific rule will guarantee that we wonʼt lose. After all, we arenʼt attacking, so thereʼs no way Crimew, Povast, Invank, Legoger, and Antifas will get close to losing their continents. Even if theyʼre allied to each other, itʼs not like they can send out their five hundred participants to attack us.ʼ

Roan nodded. ʼThatʼs basically it. So, just use your soldiers at the Soul Transformation Realm and above to wipe out the attackers. However, do not enter their regions. Stay put in Walfure.ʼ

With that, everyone finally understood why they were safe. Quite a few became nervous that they would have to stand their ground against five times their numbers. Of course, the attacking armies had way more numbers. However, the cultivation difference between the two armies made it way too easy for Walfure to defend itself.

Olly found a problem, though. ʼI can understand why we wouldnʼt lose our region due to the anti-cultivation suppression formation badges. But doesnʼt that mean weʼre trapped? If we attack any of the continents around us and force them to their witsʼ end, wouldnʼt their alliance have a reason to attack us? We can lose, but we canʼt win either.ʼ

Roan faintly smiled in response. ʼIn fact, even if it was just a single region, it would still be very hard to conquer. After all, the enemy side would have a hundred Space Bending Realm participants, just like ours. They will definitely fight without hesitation to make sure they donʼt lose their region.ʼ

Olly and the other disciples nodded after hearing that. They knew about this specific point since all regions had the exact same number of participants at the Space Bending Realm. But now, it should be even harder with the enemy alliance. It was like Rambram Sect mentioned. If it wasnʼt in the rules, it wasnʼt against it. There were no rules saying that your allied Space Bending Realm participants could help defend your country if you were about to lose it. ʼIn that case, how do you expect to take the five regions around us?ʼ

ʼTake them? Why should I?ʼ Roan asked.

ʼThis...ʼ Those words made everyone even more confused. They naturally had to conquer every region if they wanted to win the war. Rambram Sect made it very clear that it doesnʼt want any ʼdivision of rewardsʼ between powers. One power had to conquer it all, or everyone in this place would lose.

Though, Olly eventually understood why. ʼRight! Why didnʼt I think about it before? We shouldnʼt attack regardless of what happens. At least not during the first few years.ʼ

Roan nodded, satisfied. ʼItʼs good that you understand. For those who didnʼt understand, know that these five regions are attacking us with all their strength. Theyʼre relying on the fact that theyʼre close to the border of the Free Continent, hoping that the others in the surroundings wonʼt come after them. We are their greatest threat, but not the only one. As long as we hold our positions, the five regions around us will keep spending their armies against our better-equipped and higher-level warriors. Let alone their Space Bending Realm participants.ʼ

Luina couldnʼt help but ask in response. ʼBut what if no one attacks them from outside? Itʼs not like we can wait here forever.ʼ

The war would only last for two hundred years. If neither side could take the other, they would eventually be swarmed by whoever was able to grow stronger during their wait.

ʼOh, but they will attack,ʼ replied Rean with a playful smile. ʼI made sure they will.ʼ
