Chapter 2361: Reckoning Losses
Guildmaster Bradt's expression grew macabre as he continued receiving a seemingly never- ending flood of reports about the damage that had been inflicted on the Shionel
Confederation. An incalculable amount of damage to infrastructure had already been wrecked upon the nation's outskirts.
That alone was bad enough to cost the Shionel Confederation immensely.
Perhaps the only silver lining to the entire matter was that not a single Master or Sage had yet to enter the nation.
Based on the reports of the estimated enemy Martial Assault Force, that meant that the defense was doing a great job protecting the Shionel Confederation. He had gotten reports that only a part of the Master-level team had made it past Rui despite the fact that his opponent was a famed peak-grade Master.
That meant that Rui was not only fighting many Masters at once, but he was also fighting one of the strongest Masters in all of East Panama evenly enough to stall all of them away from the Shionel Confederation.
It was a truly incredible feat that would solidify his status as one of the strongest Masters in all of East Panama.
Yet, it was no cause for joy, as far as Bradt was concerned.
His position had already come under deep jeopardy.
After all, it was his decision to ally with the Kandrian Empire that had caused harm to all merchants in the Shionel Confederation. He would be held responsible for the consequences of this decision, and there would be no way that he could avoid them.
The only positive development would be that the Kandrian Empire did live up to its promises of doing its best to protect them from the wrath of the enemy alliance.
"Contact fellow Kandrian allies in the geographic vicinity. We might be able to convince them to send in some reinforcements."
"Send an open contract for mercenary commission with a hundred billion gold coins to available and close-by Masters and Sages. We might be able to catch some that are willing to fight for us."
"Deploy our Master-level potion-enhanced military corps to reinforce the Master-level battles. The consequences will be severe, but we have no choice."
Guildmaster Bradt proved to be an effective leader even in times of crisis, allowing him to do his best with what he had, no matter how bad things became.
However, even he had limits.
"Sir!" one intelligence officer cried out. "We have just received confirmation...! Sage Lauren The... he has passed away in battle!"
"No!" Guildmaster's expression crumpled with despair as his eyes grew grave.
The native Martial Sage of the Shionel Confederation had perished in battle, not only reducing the power of the Shionel Confederation significantly but also leaving the Sage-level battlefield in dire straits.
It had been foolhardy to expect five Martial Sages to hold back ten.
He had been praying for a miracle of sorts. Seeing that Rui had managed to hold back so many Martial Artists, he had hoped that Sages would also be able to pull off the same feat on their respective battlefields.
However, it seemed as though he had been delusional in ever hoping that things could have gone any differently.
The air boiled with peril as the Shionel Confederation reckoned with the losses that it
suffered.
