Chapter 2152 Compelling Sages

Rui wasn't sure what to expect from his visit to the Panamic Martial Federation. However, he did look forward to it nonetheless. Whatever it was, it was undoubtedly important if it demanded the visit of all martial masters.

However, he couldn't just up and leave immediately.

He knew that if he left and the mass breakthroughs stopped happening for a while, then it would be no different from announcing to the world that he had some connection to the mass breakthroughs.

Therefore, he made sure to break enough Apprentices through to keep up appearances even when he was gone.

He didn't need to worry about breaking enough Squires and Seniors through, though. After all, that was still a secret. Thus, no one would notice that halting even if he stopped.

He took his father's advice to get it done before the war began quite seriously. He knew that it wouldn't break out until the three other Sage-level powerhouses gave up on learning the mass breakthrough method and decided to focus on destroying the Kandrian Empire before it grew too strong to be stopped.

"No more than a year," Rui estimated. "The first year is usually one where the most amount of progress is made. If they fail to make any meaningful progress in the first year, then they will most likely conclude that it isn't worth spending what is shaping up to be decades and centuries of effort to crack the truth."

After all, all large and long-term intelligence objectives had diminishing returns as time went on.

If so, it was a highly effective political strategy that Rui couldn't deny the effectiveness of. If the price of obtaining an additional Martial Sage was merely dedicating some of the Divine Doctor's time to them, then it was a price that yielded an outcome that was far greater.

"But..." Rui furrowed his eyebrows. "...This strategy alone cannot deal with the massive gap in power between one powerhouse and three."

Emperor Rael shook his head. "This is just one small part of my grand plan. I have chalked up many potent strategies and tactics into a single design of victory and success in the long run. Rest assured, the Kandrian Empire will emerge victorious."

Rui grew more confident in whatever this grand plan was. It became extremely clear that Rael knew what he was doing when he threatened to provoke a war of unprecedented intensity in the history of East Panama.

"Alright," Rui replied. "I accept that mission. I will need an intelligence briefing on the target and more details regarding the exact specifications and the objectives."

"Of course, I do not intend to send you in blind," Emperor Rael informed Rui calmly. "Furthermore, to be specific, I desire her to join the Royal Army of the Kandrian Empire under my direct command. She was from a military background before she was crippled; she is highly accustomed to serving as an officer who executes commands. It gives me confidence that she will be able to fit more quickly into the Kandrian Royal Army than into the Sage Council of the Kandrian Empire."

Rui gazed at him carefully as he understood what his father was trying to do.

He was trying to balance out the addition of his grandmother to the Sage Council, causing the Martial Union to gain a slight edge over the Royal Army.

"Correct." Emperor Rael gazed at his son knowingly, reading his mind. "That coward Aggragor cannot even begin to compare to your grandmother as an asset."
