Chapter 1785: The First Attack!
Roan continued, "The reason I'm moving such a huge portion of my army is to make sure that Himisve wouldn't wait in the capital for the outcome. With this many, he'll understand that the critical point will arrive quickly. With that in mind, he'll have to intervene, regardless of whether he's winning or losing. He definitely wants to use that Sect Oath you talked about."
"Also..." Rean added another piece. "We want to lure him far away from anyone's eyes. After all, we doubt his armies are free of spies, unlike our own. We want everything to be far from prying eyes. That's another reason to force him out this early. If possible, Roan and I want to keep the fact we have a lot of Transition Realm warriors hidden."
Roan had more to say. "Of course, that's only if everything goes according to plan. If things go wrong and we really need to start a war with our two armies, we'll be ready for that as well. I'm not just making them move ahead. I'm keeping them in their proper positions for a real attack in case it's necessary."
"Doesn't that mean only the three of us will fight against Himisve and his two subordinates? I'm definitely ranked higher in raw talent than Himisve, but he's still a Peak Stage Space Bending Realm cultivator. I can't make up for the difference in cultivation," said Luina.
However, Rean and Roan just smiled when they heard that. "Don't worry. It won't be just the three of us. Besides, even if you end up fighting Himisve on your own, I doubt you'll lose. That's because you still have my Enhancement Skill and my flying stars. These two can definitely make it a very hard task for Himisve to defeat you."
Luina felt a little embarrassed after that. "How come you two are more confident in my strength than me?"
"We might be wrong, though." Roan poured a bucket of ice water on Luina's head. "In any case, we have everything prepared."
Luina couldn't help but feel somewhat unwilling. "In any case, to make it work, doesn't that mean we'll have to use our strength to kill thousands of enemies? I can't help but reject the idea a little in my heart. Two incredibly powerful Transition Realm cultivators and one at the Space Bending Realm. What we'll be doing is basically a massacre, just to lure Himisve out."
Roan shook his head. "You have the wrong train of thought. We are doing it because this is the way to kill the least amount of soldiers from the other side. If we allow both armies to fight, I'm very confident I can still trash Tramara's forces. However, the losses of both sides will be thousands of times higher until we can lure Hismive out with this method. Of course, if you have a better idea, go ahead and tell me. I can guarantee that Hismive will not show his face unless we do it, though."
Luina's mood improved a little after that. "Fine! That was just a random thought. The Realm of Gods had never been fair to start with, so the ones who die can only blame it on their luck."
Rean warned Luina. "You better get used to it. Once the war against other regions starts, we won't be able to use this method. Don't forget that the three of us can only act when one side reaches a breaking point. That means that hundreds of millions are going to die, even with Roan and I in command."
"Alright," Luina agreed. "What matters at the moment is victory. I understand."
Rean and Havek hadn't been idle during these months. Once they got the communication system working, both of them set out to build teleport formations with their subordinates at the borders of the countries around them. That's how Roan got so many of his forces so close to Tramara so fast. They simply teleported over!
A few days later, Celis and Kentucky, as well as a few other cultivators and demon beasts, positioned themselves. "Is this the place Roan wanted us to wait?"
Celis nodded, replying, "This should be enough. Just get your badge ready."
Kentucky nodded and kept his imitation badge close to his body. The others did the same thing and kept themselves close to Kentucky. They were all Transition Realm members of Butiva Country. However, their cultivations were at the Nascent Soul Realm at the moment since their badges were not activated.
After that, Kentucky activated Rean's Divine Sense and Light bending skill, making their presences disappear. Then again, it wouldn't be very useful against the Divine Sense of a Peak Stage Space Bending Realm cultivator. Himisve would definitely pierce through it. However, he would need to reach a certain distance to be able to do that. Also, even if he did see Kentucky's group, he wouldn't care since they would all be in the Nascent Soul Realm.
With everything ready, Celis sent Roan a message with his communication badge. 'We're here. From what Kentucky's eyes could see, the most advanced army of Tramara Country was already heading in our direction.'
Roan nodded after hearing that. 'Good. Keep the same distance from the frontal army, and don't get caught.'
Both armies were already taking their positions, waiting for the war to start. Rean, Roan, and Luina were basically the only high-level cultivators present to make sure Himisve wouldn't find the others hidden far behind.
When the opposing army finally appeared in their sight, the three immediately shot forward.
Although Himisve wasn't at the very front, Xanmica still left Grumol there to watch everything with his Divine Sense. Naturally, he noticed when Rean, Roan, and Luina appeared above the Tramara's army. 'What are they doing here? Don't they know that the disciples and the two subordinates can't attack yet?'
However...
'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'
The Mirage Assault Clones were too weak to fight at the twins' level, so the twins hadn't used them for a while. However, against Nascent Soul Realm enemies, they were the same as gods!
'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'
'Life Fire, Second Form, White Stellar Explosion!'
Of course, Luina wasn't any slower.
'Star Fall!'
Immediately, death descended upon the unfortunate army!
