Chapter 2263 Avoiding Sages

Nôv(el)B\\jnn

One of the reasons that Emperor Rael had chosen to freely divulge the existence of the seven new Sages of the Kandrian Empire was because he needed to project power in the battle against the Sekigahara Confederate.

In this case, an open display of power was much more desirable than hidden trump cards due to the fact that he would lose the war for allies if he did not convince the Sage-level nations that the Kandrian Empire had the power to win.

After all, the choice of allying with either side was inherently risky for the Sage-level nations.

After all, what if the side they chose to ally with lost the war?

Then, they would have made an enemy of the victor and the most dominant power in East Panama.

That was a nightmare of a situation.

In other words, it didn't matter what treasures the Kandrian Empire offered them if nobody believed that it could win. Nobody wanted to make an enemy of the Britannian Empire, the Sekigahara Confederate, and the Republic of Gorteau if they were going to win the war anyway.

However, the outcome of the battle against the Sekigahara Confederate, one of the most intimidating powerhouses, was overwhelming. The Sekigahara Confederate was bullied and pushed back and deeply wounded and scarred.

Although nobody said it aloud, just the fact that the three Sage-level powerhouses felt the need to go as far as creating an alliance and making threats against all those who allied with the Kandrian Empire was proof that the Kandrian Empire was a serious threat to them even if they allied.

Emperor Rael smiled. "Well, if things went my way, I would rather you never left Kandria and spent your time around a Martial Sage the entire time. But I know that you will not accept such arrangements and will insist on fighting despite the dangers that you face."

Rui shrugged at his father's words.

He was entirely right, of course. Nothing could stop Rui from fighting on the front lines.

Emperor Rael heaved a soft sigh. "I won't ask you to stop. You are intelligent enough to comprehend the full consequences of your actions. Thus, if you are determined to fight, you may do so."

Rui was glad that his father knew better than to try to stop him from partaking in the war. He had mixed feelings about serving as an ambassador for the Kandrian Empire, but he liked the idea of fighting other Martial Masters to protect the allies of the Kandrian Empire.

"I'll think about it." Rui shrugged. "I have many considerations to make."

He would rather go for the choice that would expose him to as much life-threatening Master-level combat as possible but not to Sages who had been dispatched to kill him.

The issue was that the East Panamic Treaty Alliance would very much like to kill him, no matter the expenses of such an operation. He found himself in a tough spot.

"How do I avoid enemy Sages but not enemy Masters...?"
