Chapter 2216 Won't Fail A Second Time
BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!
Many strategic considerations flashed in the minds of the Martial Sages of both sides as they fought against each other.
The appearance of seven brand-new Martial Sages on whom they didn't have any strategic intelligence on was unnerving to the Sekigaharan Martial Sages.
This was an extreme failure of intelligence on the part of the Nindo Clan. The fact that their intelligence wing had been unable to learn of the existence of seven new Martial Sages in the Kandrian Empire in and of itself was grounds to abort the operation and return back to the Sekigahara Confederate.
However, they could not do that, for they could not communicate with their Martial Masters.
In other words, they had no choice but to ensure that they fulfilled their part of the strategy no matter what.
Yet, it was deeply sub-optimal.
They could not help but feel like they had completely lost the initiative even though they had been the ones boldly marching towards the Kandrian Empire with the intention of destroying it.
What especially made them grave was the fact that they knew that this was not everything that the Kandrian Empire had as far as Martial Sages went. They had received credible intelligence that many of the Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire were in the Beast Domain, fetching highly precious resources with a miraculous success rate.
They had expected to fight the remaining Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire in a roughly even battle, yet they now faced seven brand-new Martial Sages who had appeared out of nowhere. Didn't that mean that there definitely were more Martial Sages that had yet to show themselves?
Sage Senpu grew solemn as he realized he couldn't afford to give them any slack if the Sekigaharan strike force wanted to salvage this catastrophe of an operation.
Seven additional Martial Sages was such an enormous oversight that Sage Senpu was resolved to wipe out the Nindo Clan once he got back home.
Thus, even if Sage Kole was more than powerful enough to go toe to toe against Sage Senpu and even defeat him due to his poor compatibility, he could still put her on the back foot when it came to a battle to protect or destroy the Kandrian Empire.
"HAHAHA...!" A maniacal laugh escaped him as he fired attacks one after another. "Yes, that's it! Dance! Dance for me!"
THWHOOOSH! THWHOOOSH! THWHOOOSH!
He unleashed a barrage of attacks in different angles and directions toward various parts of the Kandrian Empire, threatening to wreak havoc across the entire nation.
"Tsk." Sage Kole gritted her teeth with frustration as she leaped with all the speed and agility she was able to muster, shooting at each wind blast and dispelling them upon simple contact with her potent Divine Inferno Fists.
Thankfully, dispelling each attack took no more than an instant with a simple graze. Her striking technique was one of extraordinary lethality, powered by particularly high principles.
However, the wind attacks that Sage Senpu threw in the direction of the Kandrian Empire weren't even his specialty. They were just unsophisticated wind attacks that just about any Martial Sage could conjure up at their Realm of power.
She was grateful that he was a counteroffensive specialist—it meant he did not possess any inherently high degree of offensive power. Yet, despite that, she was put on the back foot.
With each attack he shot toward the Kandrian Empire, she inevitably took a step back while he took a step front.
They both got closer and closer to the Kandrian Empire.
That was bad, for the closer they got, the greater the probability of harm to the Kandrian Empire!
"Not on my watch," Sage Kole growled as her eyes blazed with determination. "I won't fail to protect my home a second time."
The battle between the Martial Sages continued to rise in intensity.
