The Martial Unity

Chapter 2563 Singular Dedication

Chapter 2563 Singular Dedication

The Sekigahara Confederate was much more impressive as a nation than he could have expected. Perhaps their stupid and rash Martial Artists gave the entire nation a poor rep, but otherwise he could understand why the Sekigahara Confederate had become a Sage-level powerhouse.

This nation dedicated everything to Martial Art.

As Rui followed Sage Shinken across the nation, it became evidently clear that all Martial Art related institutions and establishments received an astronomical endowment of resources and capital, while all other sectors received pittances in comparison. It was a shocking imbalance that was truly jarring to Rui as someone who came from a saner nation like the Kandrian Empire.

Public and domestic infrastructure were truly lacking. Homes were simple and small with very few multi-storied buildings. Roads were simply pathways with large and flat stones at the surface, buried underneath the mud. Rui couldn't spot a single motorized carriage in the streets; all of them were hand-pulled or horse-pulled.

And yet, their Martial infrastructure was shockingly incredible. It even narrowly edged out the Kandrian Army and the Martial Union despite the treasures they had. This was the result of a nation that was dedicated to war and nothing but war throughout the entirety of the Age of Martial Art.

They had dedicated everything to Martial Art.

It was no wonder that they were regarded as one of the best Martial forces in the entire world. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

While his father opted for a nation with a balanced division of resources, developing manufacturing, servicing, seafaring, and maritime industries, the Sekigahara Confederate disregarded everything that wasn't Martial Art or didn't directly serve it, and simply poured all they had into Martial Art.

Their training chambers spanned entire cities in the most extraordinary establishments that Rui had ever seen, on par with the Panamic Martial Federation itself.

His father had warned him extensively not to do that, and, for once, he heeded his father's words, allowing the peak Sage to get away with saying things he perhaps would not have had he not been in his home nation of the Sekigahara Confederate.

STEP They descended upon an enormous building in a more ostentatious province of the country. "This is the Clan Convergence," he told Rui. "The leaders of the fourteen clans await you inside."

He sky-walked away, glaring at Rui coldly. "And I don't care what you tell them. You will be imparting the Sekigahara Confederate with compensation for everything you've done to us."

WHOOSH

Just like that, he was gone.

Rui scoffed with a hint of amusement. It was actually hilarious how much they avoided personal responsibility for any and everything that was actually their fault and instead blamed him for all their woes. He shook his head, before entering the Clan Convergence, unimpeded by the guards and or any other security measures.

STEP And then, he arrived at the conference room designated for him. Within the room were the fourteen clan leaders, who sat down with legs folded in a neat row. They wore ornate formal ethnic attires local to the Sekigahara Confederate and simply waited for Rui to take his seat.

He expected to be able to get into discussions immediately but apparently not. Before they could begin, a set of shrine maidens arrived before all of them, pouring tea in their cups. Rui raised an eyebrow as the fourteen clan leaders raised their cups before them, gazing at Rui expectantly.

"..." It was only after he followed suit that they finally took a sip from their tea.

"As the fourteen clan leaders of the Sekigahara Confederate, we welcome you to the Sekigahara Confederate, Prince Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria."
