Chapter 1797: Let’s Hope It Does Happen
Author’s note: I posted a repeated chapter in the last chapter that stayed online for a few minutes. It has been fixed already and the right chapter is there now. If you saw a repeated chapter, just delete the APP’s cash and reopen it. The right chapter should be there.

“How come?” Lanteo asked in response. “Is it the same reason you said no one would attack Jaxto Country? Because I took my army away and left to Butiva?”
Roan shook his head, telling him, “That would be a good reason, but not the important one. The main reason for them to not attack us is because they wouldn’t want to put themselves at a disadvantage. If they have anyone within their ranks that can think a little, they will understand that waiting for our next move is the wisest decision.”
Leticia couldn’t help but ask after that. “But wouldn’t it be better for them if they all attacked us from all sides? Even if we have an alliance, it would be hard to defend against. After all, as our territory expands, so does the number of countries and disciples we have to deal with at our borders.”
Rean nodded, saying, “That’s true. However, the point is that they don’t want to enter enemy territory. To arrive in Butiva, they would have to pass through your countries. That means falling into the enemy’s grasp.”
Rean continued, “Just like Leticia said, there are a lot more countries and disciples to deal with bordering our territory. To be more specific, there are thirteen countries bordering Roslar, Jaxto, Brumel, Tramara, and Lativa. That means thirteen disciples and thirteen armies. All they need to do is wait for us to attack. Once we decide on a target, they can use half of their disciples to defend while the other half will launch an attack against Butiva. That will force us to divide our forces.”
Kastrabe found it strange, though. “However, if that’s the case, then we can’t attack anyone either. After all, we can’t afford to lose Butiva and the System Sect located here. I’m still amazed by what this communication system of yours can do, so it’s definitely the main target of destruction.”
Roan coldly smiled after that. “We don’t need to attack anyone. Those countries will definitely attack us.”
Immediately, everyone except Rean showed incredibly confused expressions. “Didn’t you just say they won’t attack us? How come you’re telling us that they’ll attack us? Do you have a few screws loose?”
Roan shook his head. “What I meant is that none of them will attack us in the short term. They’re probably thinking that we will use this momentum to take down more countries and are preparing to help whichever this country is. However, as time passes, they will eventually run out of time.”
“I see…” Etivinia understood what was happening. “The ten-year mark. Once the regional wars for the conquest of the continent start, none of them will be able to stay still anymore. Just like us, they’re all planning to pass through the other disciples’ countries to join the war and gather achievements. However, with our alliance right in the middle of the Walfure Region, the moment they leave, we will take their countries. At the moment, it doesn’t make sense to conquer a country without an army and its disciple. However, once the real war starts, each army will depend on the resources of the country it came from. If we decide to conquer their countries during that time, they’ll be powerless to do anything.”
Rean smiled after hearing that. “Oh! You are quite smart. If you had no other choice but to ask for Leticia’s help, I wonder if conquering your country would have been that easy.”
Etivinia’s mouth twitched in response. In any normal circumstance, she would have killed Rean straight away. When was she made fun of by such small continent ants? Unfortunately, the Oath’s orders included not touching the twins and following all their orders. “You’re lucky that everything in the Free Continent is being seen by the elders outside. Otherwise, I would have you disappear right now.”
Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. “Please don’t. You guys have no chance of winning this regional war without the communication system that Havek and I created.”
“Hmph!” Etivinia snorted but didn’t deny Rean’s words. She also understood just how important the communication system would be for the future of this Free Continent competition.
“However, won’t it be bad if they wait too long to attack us? Also, if they attack us together, can we defend against thirteen disciples in the Space Bending Realm?” Luina wondered.
Roan shook his head, telling her, “Six months. That’s more or less the time they’ll wait for us to attack. If we don’t move, they’ll definitely come for us.” Roan continued, “Also, you don’t need to worry about thirteen disciples attacking us at the same time. At most, seven or eight will come.”
Rean nodded in agreement. “Roan is right. Their alliance is very fragile since it doesn’t rely on the Sect Oath. None of them will submit to the other. Not to mention that once they attack us, they will be opening their backs to the other countries bordering themselves.”
“Can we deal against eight disciples and their armies, though?” Lanteo asked back. “Don’t forget that the further away we get from the center of Walfure, the higher the rank of our Jamai Sect disciples.”
Roan nodded once again. “We will have everything ready for them. Besides, with the number of Transition Realm experts that we can muster when that time comes, we can even tire them to death while you distract them.”
As he said that, Roan found one issue. “Unfortunately, our huge number of Transition Realm experts due to our imitation badges are also our main problem.”
Leticia knew why. “That’s because we’re probably the only ones who can use the imitation badges, right? The others don’t know how to do it and definitely want to find out. In the worst-case scenario, perhaps all the disciples of our Walfure Region will ally to take us down, get the method to create imitation badges for themselves, and only then think about each other.”
Immediately, everyone’s expression turned dark after hearing that. “Such a thing isn’t that impossible to happen, right? In fact, chances are quite high if the other disciples aren’t idiots.”
Rean and Roan nodded in response. “Yeah, such a thing can definitely happen.” They also coldly smiled after that. “Well, let’s hope it does happen.”
