Death… And Me Chapter 1798: More than six months

Chapter 1798: More than six months

"Hope... it does happen?" Roan's words confused everyone again. "Why?"

"You'll see," Roan answered.

It didn't matter how much they insisted. Neither Rean nor Roan told them what they were going to do. In the end, the meeting continued as they discussed other topics. Several hours later, everyone returned to their own positions as things calmed down in Butiva Country.

It went exactly as the twins thought it would. None of the thirteen countries launched attacks against the countries the twins conquered. That's because they couldn't match the speed the System Sect could equip its armies. And second, because they were afraid of being hit from the back if they did so.

The System Sect used the resources of the five countries around it as well as its personnel to continue growing. The management system and the other Circuitry Equipment only contributed to Butiva's speedier growth. 

Blacksmiths were taught how to use the Circuitry Forgers, Power Hammers, and so on. The Formation Masters were taught the basics of the communication system since the System Sect would need a lot more of them as they expanded. The sect wouldn't be able to install all the antennas they wanted with their current numbers. 

The same went for alchemy since Rean used Roan's experience to create tools powered by Circuitry Formations. Especially the ones that used inscriptions. Once again, they couldn't match the Alchemy Workshop in the Dimensional Realm, but they weren't that much behind.

It went without saying that the other side occupations were all used as well.

And just like that, months pa.s.sed without any sides launching attacks on the other... well, not exactly.

Sure, no one attacked the Butiva Country Alliance. However, the same couldn't be said for the other countries of the Walfure Region. One good example was the alliance led by Olly, the one considered to be the top disciple of the Jamai Sect. As the top disciple, he obviously got a bordering country to another region. That meant Olly didn't have many countries in the Walfure Region bordering his own. There were only three in his case.

Nevertheless, all those three countries fell into his hands when the three decided to attack him. As the strongest disciple, the other three thought that they had to work together to take Olly down. Otherwise, things would be hard if any of them had to face Olly alone.

However, Olly was already expecting it and prepared for the attack before it even happened. He succeeded in catching each of the three countries' Jamai Sect disciples alone and defeated them easily. Obviously, they were all forced to do the Sect Oath and served Olly.

Similar things happened all around the place, but only a few countries ended up falling. One must remember that there were only 100 countries and disciples, after all.

While all that happened, Butiva was completely silent. As it had also blocked all teleports coming from outside its territory, it was hard to measure its strength.

Yet, that was a big problem for the thirteen countries bordering the Butiva Country Alliance's territory. The longer Butiva waited, the more these countries' Jamai Sect disciples became impatient. Roan said that it would take at least six months for those thirteen countries to come to attack them, and he was right. In fact, Roan was quite surprised they took eight months instead.

"Report! Several incursions have entered our borders. Jaxto, Roslar, Tramara, Brumel, and Lativan have armies entering their borders," said one of the subordinates in Butiva Country.

Roan immediately took out his communication badges and checked the information he had received. Eight months had pa.s.sed since he finished annexing the five countries around Butiva. That was more than enough time to build antennas in all their cities, ultimately creating a huge communication network.

Specially trained scouts were present in all the possible entrances at the borders and served as Roan's eyes for the attacks heading their way. Once he organized his thoughts, he finally called the Jamai Sect disciples and pa.s.sed his orders. 'It's not the thirteen countries that are attacking us. Instead, only eight of them have sent their armies into our territories. I believe that they're expecting us to meet them face to face and use our own Jamai Sect partic.i.p.ants to protect our low-level soldiers in the armies.'

Roan continued, 'Because we don't know where their Jamai Sect disciples are, we will be forced to send one of our disciples to protect each country. However, we only have six s.p.a.ce Bending Realm disciples while they have eight. In one of those countries, one or two of you will end up fighting two or maybe three opponents at once.'

Everyone nodded. Otherwise, the attack with eight armies wouldn't make sense. 

Roan didn't stop there. 'Surprisingly, the other countries still haven't allied themselves to attack us all at once. I was expecting it to happen before the thirteen countries made their moves. After all, we have imitation badges on our side. Well, it seems like the rest of the countries want to see how this attack will turn out first before committing to it. Simply put, they're all afraid that once they join forces, someone else will betray their alliance and take them down. Their lack of loyalty to each other is a boon for us.'

Lanteo immediately asked, 'Leaving that aside, what should we do about these eight armies? If one of us really gets attacked by two or more disciples, we won't be able to hold for long.'

Roan nodded, saying, 'Prepare your armies and send them to defend the five countries. Their commanders will have the supporting formations that Rean and Havek built to use. Not to mention that we now have over a hundred Transition Realm cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits. I'll separate them equally and send them with your armies. As for all of you, you won't follow the armies. Instead, you will let them fight on their own. I'll command them through the communication system.'

'What?!' Everyone was taken aback. How would Roan expect them to defend if the s.p.a.ce Bending Realm disciples decide to attack? Butiva and the other countries' armies would definitely be ma.s.sacred if they had no s.p.a.ce Bending Realm cultivators defending them!
