Death… and me

Chapter 1795: Brumel Down



Chapter 1795: Brumel Down

The first thing Roan did was increase the defenses on Butiva’s border with Lativan. As mentioned before, Lativan shared the south and southwest borders of Butiva, so that’s where Roan positioned everyone necessary.

Following that, the twins spent two weeks reorganizing the army. There was a reason why the twins’ army was ready much faster than the others. It was all due to the System Sect’s methods. For example, Rean and Havek had made copies of the Soul Gem Forge and Power Hammer with the Circuitry Formations. They weren’t as good as the real ones created by the system, but they were definitely much better than the ones used in the Realm of Gods.

Thanks to things like that, it was a lot easier for the System Sect to arm itself, let alone its army. Rean had hundreds of blacksmiths from both Tramara and Jaxto come to Butiva, where they learned how to use the new equipment. That only helped increase the production of weapons even more.

Nevertheless, only the main forces received new weapons. The weaker ones had to stay without them since there were millions of soldiers. Forging weapons for every single one of them was a monumental task, even with the System Sect’s help. 

After ensuring some degree of cooperation with the battle formations and things like that, the twins had their army gather close to Brumel.

Etivinia, the disciple of the Jamai Sect taking care of Brumel, obviously found out about it way before the attack started. In fact, ever since she found out that Jaxto and Tramara were with Butiva, she gathered most of her own country’s army at the west border of Brumel. Obviously, that was the border with Butiva.

However, little did she know she was falling for another trap from the twins.

That’s because Roan didn’t send his entire army to the border with Brumel. Instead, half of it gathered on Roslar’s border, seemingly ready to attack Leticia and her army.

Seeing how Leticia was also about to be assaulted by Luina’s country, Etivinia quickly moved to ask her to join forces. Etivinia knew that Leticia was one of the top disciples of the sect, within the top three. With her strength, Etivinia was confident they could at least defend against Butiva.

Well, that was Roan’s plan. He wanted to make it look like he was trying to conquer both Brumel and Roslar at the same time. 

In Roslar Country, Leticia looked at the jade slip that contained Roan’s orders. That was the same jade slip Rean passed to her when she came to visit Butiva while no one noticed. ‘Sigh… three months ago, there were no signs of war at all. However, the jade slip he passed me back then already contained all the information regarding what’s happening right now. Not only that, he even gave me countermeasures to protect my Roslar Country in case I was attacked during the time I moved to Brumel.’

Leticia believed that no one would try to attack her, though. Her status as one of the top three best disciples of the sect would definitely scare others. But even with that, Roan left actions she should take if others allied to attack her. For Roan, it was totally possible that Leticia’s status as one of the best disciples would instead make others join forces against her. Well, Roan also admitted the chances of that happening were low.

One of Leticia’s Nascent Soul Realm subordinates then entered the room to talk. “Lady Leticia, Etivinia’s subordinate has arrived.”

Leticia smiled in response. “Let me guess. Etivinia told you that Luina conquered the other two countries first so that she would have enough disciples of our Jamai Sect to fight against me.”

“That’s correct.” The subordinate looked at Leticia with surprise on his face. With that, he asked her, “What should I tell the guy?”

Leticia looked at the jade slip again before replying, “Tell Etivinia that I accept. Even I will have a hard time fighting against Lanteo, Luina, and Himisve on my own.” 

“Understood!” The subordinate quickly left after that.

Following that, Leticia moved part of her army to defend against the ‘attack’ from Butiva, while another part of it joined her in Brumel Country. Leticia and Etivinia were ready to fight against Butiva’s alliance.

“What about Kastrabe? He’s also in danger of being swallowed by Butiva Country. Haven’t you sent anyone to ask for his cooperation?” Leticia asked.

Etivinia nodded, replying, “I did. Once Butiva Country’s army starts the attack against Brumel, I will use a Thoughts Transmission Talisman that I shared with Kastrabe. That way, he’ll be able to launch an attack against Butiva exactly at the same time as Butiva attacks us.”

Leticia nodded, satisfied. “If Kastrabe is with us, then we have nothing to fear.”

After that, Butiva did indeed start the attack against Brumel, expecting to conquer it. Naturally, Etivinia immediately used her Thoughts Transmission Talisman to warn Lativan, who also launched its own attack.

Unfortunately for them, just as the Brumel forces encountered Butiva’s, Brumel was also attacked from behind. It went without saying that the army that attacked Etivinia was none other than Leticia’s army. The fact that almost no one knew about Leticia and Luina’s relationship played a big role now. Of course, this was a method that would only work once. After this attack, everyone would know that Roslar was also part of the Butiva Country’s alliance.

It wasn’t like Etivinia didn’t consider the possibility of Leticia being an ally of Butiva as well. However, she didn’t have much choice as any other country bordering her Brumel did not border Butiva. Only Roslar and Lativan could launch an attack fast enough to hold Butiva back. Besides, due to Leticia’s strength, Etivinia found it hard that Leticia would accept to follow Butiva’s orders.

Kastrabe from Lativan did really join Etivinia and attacked Butiva, though. It’s just that it was all for naught. Brumel fell way too fast for Lativan’s forces to make any difference.

As the Brumel forces fought, Leticia took the opportunity to force Etivinia out and immediately start a fight. She showed why she was one of the top three disciples of the Jamai Sect, easily subjugating Etivinia and forcing her to do the Sect Oath. There wasn’t even a need for Luina, Lanteo, or Himisve to intervene at all!
