Chapter 2229 True Plan
The battle between Masters raged on at full power.
With each passing minute, both sides only grew more desperate. The Sekigaharan Masters only grew more maniacal in their drive to win the war, as they were notorious for, as time passed. For each passing second of war drained their stamina and Martial Mind.
The closer their Martial Mind came to being depleted, the more dangerous and perilous their circumstances were.
After all, once their Martial Minds were depleted, even Martial Seniors were a threat to them.
What they were especially afraid of was someone like the Gatekeeper arriving on the battlefield once Martial Minds were completely emptied. That would be a nightmare as he would undoubtedly be the strongest on the battlefield if that were to happen.
In their minds, they were the deciding factor of whether their operation was a success or not.
However, they were wrong.
Deep in the Great Nam Ocean, three figures moved towards Kandria at an incredible speed.
Three Sages.
Each from the Sekigahara Confederate.
"Preparations complete," the Sage at the head of the attack whispered to his comrades. "Operation True Spear is underway."
This was the true plan of the Sekigahara Confederate.
The loud and eye-drawing military operation directed towards the Kandrian Emperor was merely a red herring.
If a meteorite landed on land, most of the energy would be contained within its immediate surroundings in the form of the mechanical work done in creating a massive crater. While some seismic energy would be released, it was only a small portion of the total kinetic energy of the meteorite.
However, the story would be different if the meteorite landed in the ocean.
When a meteorite landed in the ocean, the energy discharge from the collision would not be limited to the immediate surroundings.
It would create a massive ocean wave that was capable of traveling a greater distance while carrying a substantial portion of the total energy of the meteorite. That wave would usually go on to form a tsunami that would wipe out the closest coast it reached.
In that case, the closest coast was the Kandrian Empire, even if it was more than ten thousand kilometers away.
However, in this case, it wasn't just a meteorite causing the ocean wave; it was multiple Martial Sages.
Ever since Sage Sia created the Umiana Trench while training in the depths of the Zeltic Ocean, humanity has well-recorded the dangers of Sage-level combat over an ocean. It was far more dangerous than combat over land.
Such a disaster could not be allowed to befall the Kandrian Empire.
That was why two Martial Sages existed to ensure that no harm would come to the Kandrian Empire by actively containing the ocean waves that would be generated by the battle between Martial Sages.
"To think the Sekigahara Confederate would send in some of its finest offensive and covert Martial Sages to finish us off..." Sage Glacken narrowed his eyes in the distance. "It seems that Sekigahara Confederate is quite determined to end us. Just which one of our secrets did you come across, Sage Saraka, Sage Yuu, Sage Saren?"
The three Sekigaharan didn't so much as flinch at being recognized.
They had all known each other for a long time.
"Are you sure you want to be here with the five of you, Glacken?" Sage Saraka smiled as he took off his hood. "With nine of my comrades storming the Kandrian Empire on the Eastern front, you can't afford to dedicate five Martial Sages to us."
