The Martial Unity

Chapter 2216  Won't Fail A Second Time

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!

Many strategic considerations flashed in the minds of the Martial Sages of both sides as they fought against each other.

The appearance of seven brand-new Martial Sages on whom they didn't have any strategic intelligence on was unnerving to the Sekigaharan Martial Sages.

This was an extreme failure of intelligence on the part of the Nindo Clan. The fact that their intelligence wing had been unable to learn of the existence of seven new Martial Sages in the Kandrian Empire in and of itself was grounds to abort the operation and return back to the Sekigahara Confederate.

However, they could not do that, for they could not communicate with their Martial Masters.

In other words, they had no choice but to ensure that they fulfilled their part of the strategy no matter what.

Yet, it was deeply sub-optimal.

They could not help but feel like they had completely lost the initiative even though they had been the ones boldly marching towards the Kandrian Empire with the intention of destroying it.

What especially made them grave was the fact that they knew that this was not everything that the Kandrian Empire had as far as Martial Sages went. They had received credible intelligence that many of the Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire were in the Beast Domain, fetching highly precious resources with a miraculous success rate.

They had expected to fight the remaining Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire in a roughly even battle, yet they now faced seven brand-new Martial Sages who had appeared out of nowhere. Didn't that mean that there definitely were more Martial Sages that had yet to show themselves?

Sage Senpu grew solemn as he realized he couldn't afford to give them any slack if the Sekigaharan strike force wanted to salvage this catastrophe of an operation.

Seven additional Martial Sages was such an enormous oversight that Sage Senpu was resolved to wipe out the Nindo Clan once he got back home.

Yet, he knew that their failure in detecting these Martial Sages was not due to their own incompetence as much as it was due to the extraordinary competence of the Emperor of Harmony.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

Sage Senpu evaded scorching blows from Sage Kole as his expression grew ugly thinking about the Emperor of Harmony. "That bastard…" he growled with frustration. If he was right, then the other Martial Sages were just like Sage Kole in that they were once long-retired crippled Martial Sages who had been healed. Even putting aside the fact that such a thing should have been patently impossible, the fact that the Emperor of Harmony had chosen to showcase them instead of hiding them as trump cards pissed him off.

They were a deterrence.

It was a message.

"Do not mess with Kandria, is it?" Sage Senpu's eyes flared with rage. "Fuck you."

His arm stretched out in the direction of the Kandrian Empire as he activated many more attacks, one after another, threatening to destroy the nation.

THWHOOSH THWHOOSH THWHOOSH!!!

Instantly, Sage Kole swerved as she sped to intercept the attacks one after another, dispelling them.

He soared to the sky, tossing attacks in the direction of the Kandrian Empire in rapid succession from many different angles, forcing her to push herself to the limit of her speed to keep up with the attacks.

BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!! BOOOM!!!

Sage Kole swiftly chopped down each and every attack he threw in the direction of the Kandrian Empire. Had it not been for the fact that speed was a parameter she had strived to heighten after her lethality, she would have never been able to keep up with each and every single attack thrown in the direction of the Kandrian Empire.

"Rgh…!" She gritted her teeth as she pushed herself to the very limit to deal with the onslaught of attacks that flew toward the Kandrian Empire. Because the nation was so goddamned enormous, Sage Senpu had a huge amount of leeway when it came to targeting it. Even if his aim was off by a significant angle, the attack would still hit some part of the Kandrian Empire.

After all, not only was the Kandrian Empire absolutely enormous in its area, but it also was in the shape of a strip, making it a very wide target for any attacker that chose to attack it from the western side.

Thus, even if Sage Kole was more than powerful enough to go toe to toe against Sage Senpu and even defeat him due to his poor compatibility, he could still put her on the back foot when it came to a battle to protect or destroy the Kandrian Empire.

"HAHAHA…!" A maniacal laugh escaped him as he fired attacks one after another. "Yes, that's it! Dance! Dance for me!"

THWHOOOSH! THWHOOOSH! THWHOOOSH!

He unleashed a barrage of attacks in different angles and directions toward various parts of the Kandrian Empire, threatening to wreak havoc across the entire nation.

"Tsk." Sage Kole gritted her teeth with frustration as she leaped with all the speed and agility she was able to muster, shooting at each wind blast and dispelling them upon simple contact with her potent Divine Inferno Fists.

Thankfully, dispelling each attack took no more than an instant with a simple graze. Her striking technique was one of extraordinary lethality, powered by particularly high principles.

However, the wind attacks that Sage Senpu threw in the direction of the Kandrian Empire weren't even his specialty. They were just unsophisticated wind attacks that just about any Martial Sage could conjure up at their Realm of power.

She was grateful that he was a counteroffensive specialist—it meant he did not possess any inherently high degree of offensive power. Yet, despite that, she was put on the back foot. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With each attack he shot toward the Kandrian Empire, she inevitably took a step back while he took a step front.

They both got closer and closer to the Kandrian Empire.

That was bad, for the closer they got, the greater the probability of harm to the Kandrian Empire!

"Not on my watch," Sage Kole growled as her eyes blazed with determination. "I won't fail to protect my home a second time."

The battle between the Martial Sages continued to rise in intensity.
