Chapter 409 - Time Skip PT2

Another decade passed quietly as war between the continents worsened. Daedalus' training tower was seen as a bastion of hope to the people of the Eiphix. With the war between continents the people from opposing continents had given each other names, Eiphix is the name of the continent Daedalus lives on.

Over the past decade Daedalus made an interesting discovery, a genius on the opposing side was using the legacy cultivation technique. On numerous occasions the two had fought but they where equal in strength. Now however the Eiphix continent and its people rivaled Peoliur continent's people.

Eventually this led Daedalus and Damian to push forward and take land on the continent. Daedalus knew he had a rival in one enemy, but it was not that simple, the enemy always retreated when Andromeda joined the fight. Now with strong soldiers Daedalus was confident that they could take land.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

It started off small, they took the entrance to the tunnel, when they did fortifications where built and travel safety and speed was increased. With greater access to resources and open space to fight the army fought more viciously and quickly their base of strength expanded.

However even with this being true their expansion was soon halted due to their limited numbers. Even though the army was made with billions of powerful cultivators it simply wasn't enough to take down the big empire that had United the entire continent.

It was during this time of realisation that Daedalus learned his biggest opponent was the youngest son of the current emperor. Daedalus was surprised to learn that he wasn't the heir to the throne, knowing this Daedalus decided to try and recruit him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like this another decade soon passed and an enormous influx of new and younger cultivators joined the army. At this point the continent had United into a republic, this was decided when the many monarchs felt the need to join Daedalus in protecting the people.

Thus Daedalus grandfathers where elected as two of the leaders and soon followed by two other officials from the other two races.

Back with the army though Daedalus had taken the role as an advisor for Damian as he simply didn't want to lead the army and Damian was very skilled. Unfortunately Daedalus had been unable to recruit the youngest son of the enemies leader.

This came to a head when Daedalus and him fought which resulted in a battle that lasted a full week. When the dust settles Daedalus had been found praying at the dying body of his opponent. It was a fight to the death but the two had spoken of their ideals as they fought and Daedalus felt sad at killing his opponent, not to mention they had known eachother for over two decades.

With the death of the strongest opponent the war was quickly won, though the losses on both sides where terrible. In the end the army of Eiphix had surrounded the enemies capital city. When the enemy knew they had lost they had raised a white flag and asked to surrender.

Daedalus knew it could be a trap however he was confident he and Andromeda where powerful enough to halt any attempts on their lives. In the end Daedalus had accepted the emperor's surrender, but when Daedalus turned to leave with Andromeda the emperor had his guards attack.

It wasn't an easy battle but Daedalus and Andromeda came out of that castle with the head of the emperor and his eldest son the heir.
