Chapter 2411 Converging Forces
"Any word?" Guildmaster Bradt's eyes sharpened.
"No sir. The Void Prince is not responding to any of our urgent calls or messages."
Guildmaster Bradt's expression darkened at that news. "What about the Emperor of Harmony?"
"His chief of staff has informed us that he is unavailable at the moment."
"What about the leaders of the Martial Union?"
"They too are non-contactable at the moment."
Frustration appeared on Guildmaster Bradt's face.
He was not blind.
He had long noticed that something enormous was brewing under the surface.
Two days ago, all attacks on Kandrian allies had ceased.
At the same time, the Kandrian Empire had withdrawn all its forces from all allies.
Or almost all allies.
The Shionel Confederation was the sole ally from whom not a single Kandrian ally had been called back. On the surface, that might seem like good news, but in reality that was horrible news. The reason that the attacks had ceased happening was because the enemy alliance had decided to, at least temporarily, redirect its forces for a more important objective.
In response, the Kandrian Empire did the same in all places except the Shionel Confederation.
From this, Guildmastee Bradt could deduce that the Kandrian Empire still considered it necessary to protect the Shionel Confederation despite all other allies being deemed safe.
Across East Panama, the countless parties watching with bated breaths dropped their jaws when they learned that the Kandrian Empire had deployed an overwhelming majority of its Martial Artists of the Upper Realms in one go, in one direction.
The fact that the Kandrian Empire felt the need to dispatch so many powerful Martial Artists was a chillingly ominous clue as to how impactful the following conflict was going to be. No one knew exactly what the reinforcements were for. Yet, this validated the many fears that many people had regarding the war taking a more destructive and devastating turn that could potentially spread beyond just an enormous battlefield. It was not impossible for the flames of their destruction to spread to the rest of East Panama.
It was surprising how fast the news flew across the eastern segment of the Panama Continent. It showed that countless people and powers were pouring their undivided attention toward this unprecedented mobilization of power.
Yet, just as they were barely recovering from this shock, they were hit with another just a few hours later!
"Sir!" Guildmaster Bradt's assistant cried. "We have just received word from our intelligence sources that twenty-five Sages and nearly two hundred Martial Masters have been dispatched from the East Panamic Treaty Alliance task force headquarters! They are moving straight towards the Shionel Confederation!"
"Dammit!" Guildmaster Bradt gritted his teeth and clenched his fists with grave eyes. "This is a horrific development!"
The atmosphere in East Panama boiled with tension.
It grew electric with peril.
The nations in the vicinity of the Shionel Confederation each rapidly declared national emergencies, evacuating their citizens and initiating lockdowns. They were rightfully terrified of the devastating impacts of Martial Sages fighting and simply did not have the means to actually protect their citizens from such horrific power should it be directed their way.
If the East Panamic Treaty Alliance was actually targeting the Shionel Confederation to this degree because it was harboring Rui, then Guildmaster Bradt wasn't sure that the nation could tolerate this level of pressure even with the help of the Kandrian Empire.
"Sir, the Emperor of Harmony has sought a dialogue with you!"
That was exactly what he needed to hear at the moment.
It wasn't too long before he found himself gazing at the three-dimensional projection of the Emperor of Kandria.
"Emperor Rael..." His eyes narrowed. "Just what is happening...? Just what is all this for?"
The Emperor of Harmony directed a knowing gaze at him. "I'm sure you know exactly what this is about, Guildmaster. The enemies wish to eliminate my son. And they think they have found the optimal candidate. For other reasons I cannot divulge, we have a strategic interest in the outcome of this battle beyond ensuring that the fight isn't interfered with by other parties. I can understand that you are shaken by the sheer amount of Martial capital being deployed in this single battle, but I can assure you that even if an all-out war occurs, it will happen far away enough from the Shionel Confederation that collateral damage to your nation will be minimized."
