Chapter 334 - Past Events
"Ignore the idiot. Get ready since we are going as well."
After the war started, Droman and a few other elders were in charge of putting several communication formations. They made it in a way that only they knew how it worked. Thanks to that, information was quickly delivered through the entire battlefield swiftly without leakage. There were obviously Thoughts Transmission Talismans, but they couldn\'t afford to use those things for every movement on the enemy\'s side.
This time, it was quite easy and fast to build this particular system. After all, it would only pass orders back and forth. There is simply not enough traffic to overload the cables. They also made it in a web-like manner so that even if one or two cables were cut, the communication would most likely not stop.
Jialin Country was already expected to get the advantage with the boost in power from Laan City experts. Still, they didn\'t expect that everything would go so smoothly with the addition of the communication system. The ability to be able to keep regular instant reports was tremendous!
That had also indirectly helped Rean and Roan since Destiny Points began to flow even faster into the Soul Gem System. Nevertheless, they refrained from buying anything so that they could get used to their power first. They were planning to spend the points once the war was over.
As for how the war was going so far, over half of the needed territory was already conquered. Jialin wasn\'t trying to conquer the whole country, but just a part of it, enough for the Laan experts to build their own power.
Trying to conquer the whole Cassen Country would not be a good idea. After all, other countries might become afraid that this would affect them as well. For example, the countries that had their borders connected to Cassen but not Jialin. Who could guarantee that Jialin won\'t try to do something once they consolidate their new rule in the old Cassen? They would be forced to offer support to Cassen to stop that from happening.
That\'s why Zuan said that this wasn\'t a war to take over a country from the very start, but just a small part of it. All the sects and the Royal Family also accepted that.
During the war, the other countries bordering Jialin kept their eyes open. Sure enough, it was as everyone expected. As soon as they thought a chance appeared, they also attacked Jialin, trying to get some territory for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Jialin was already expecting that. With Fuka, Nefere, and the several extra Soul Transformation Realm cultivators from Laan, they were able to hold them back.
It\'s not like Jialin could really fight all those powers alone. It\'s just that they would have to pay a high price for them to succeed in conquering territories in Jialin. In the worst-case scenario, some of them might even lose their own sect\'s Saint Realm experts. None of them were willing to try it. Those two extra Saint Realm experts were really the last resource necessary to make something like this work.
When the war started, a merit point system was also initiated. After all, even sect cultivators were quite selfish, let alone vagrant cultivators that were much more numerous in Jialin. If the sects wanted them to put their lives on the line to get Cassen territory, rewards on par with their lives had to be offered.
Very few cultivators in this war were like Rean and Roan, who didn\'t need those rewards. Because most of them didn\'t support the sects or the royal family, this reward system was incredibly beneficial. Each sect had its own system, and Dalamu was no different.
At least half of the cultivators on Roan\'s group were outsiders that came for this same reason. One could already imagine how they felt when they found out that their commander was a teenager. However, if they wanted to receive their resources, they needed to follow his order.
The worst part came when Roan began to leave the commanding issues up to Illia, and they were right to be afraid. After all, Illia (Calina) really made many bad decisions or took too long to decide on what to do, making things even worse. However, for some reason, they never suffered significant losses. Instead, they always emerged victorious in their battles.
It wasn\'t long before they understood that it was all thanks to Rean and Roan. Even when Illia messed up, the twins always had a contingency plan to come up ahead of the enemies. As time passed, they really began to respect those two, especially Roan since most of the orders came from him.
Of course, as time passed, Calina\'s own talent surged. She began to commit lesser mistakes and be faster at recognizing the battlefield. She simply needed someone who could teach her correctly.
Another thing present in this war was the Ranking System. It was determined through the number of cultivators killed, territory conquered, battle victories, support, etc.
At the start, Roan\'s group didn\'t appear too much since he spent a lot of time training everyone. Yes, Roan didn\'t go straight into battle as soon as his group was determined. Instead, he created several combat formations that they had to memorize.
The first three months of the war were spent on the backlines. They rarely ever went forward to do battle. Even when they did, it wasn\'t anything meaningful. Obviously, that also incurred the discontent of those who came for the resources.
But the situation changed three months later. Their first battles were messy because of Calina\'s lack of experience, but those formations really saved their lives. With Rean and Roan\'s timely support, they began to amass one victory after the other.
Ten months later, Roan\'s group shot up in the ranks. Or better yet, the Death Group did. Very few groups were still contending against Roan\'s.
Last but not least, Roan\'s group also increased in size as time passed. What before was only around 100 cultivators, had now risen to a total of 300! That was the recognition of the sects and the royal family. In fact, Roan\'s group was even offered a bigger group, but he refused. He wanted to use this one to make sure that Calina understood things properly.
As one can expect, all the outside cultivators were now very happy. There were rarely any significant losses on their side while they were amassing large amounts of merit points. It reached a point where many cultivators kept applying to join the \'Death Group\' but were kept waiting. After all, since the number of deaths was low, the number of replacements was also the same.
---
Back to the present, Kentucky got up after Rean called. Soon after, Rean jumped on his back and flew in the direction of the Danger Zone. After all, Kentucky still couldn\'t fulfill such complicated orders on its own.
As for the rest, they would be going for the cleanup.
"There are at least 120 cultivators between the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Realm on the enemy side. Once Rean and Kentucky help them with the retreat, we will cover the sides. Remember to work as I told you, and we should be able to achieve a much greater result with smaller losses. Anyone who breaks up the formation will be replaced."
Roan then looked at Calina.
"Illia, same thing as before, you will lead half of the group. The number of deaths will depend on your decisions. If everyone goes as expected, we should be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy."
Calina nodded with a determined expression. Roan wasn\'t only teaching Calina about war strategies. He still needed to increase her combat power. This war was just perfect since he could have her fight while leading the groups at the same time.
Thanks to the fact that Kentucky could fly, Rean arrived at the danger zone very fast. Immediately, they began to offer support to their group in there. Kentucky was seriously a meat tank. Not only was his defense extremely high, but he could now spread his White and Black Flames far away. Kentucky often created fire walls that blocked the enemy\'s passage while bearing their focused attacks in the frontlines. Even when Rean went all out, he couldn\'t offer such a wide range of support. This also proved that Kentucky\'s Spiritual Energy pool was enormous, probably larger than any of the twins.
Sure enough, their group kept their formations while using the enemy\'s own traps to hinder their progress.
Suddenly, Rean\'s eyes lit up as he saw the chance for a breakthrough.
"Kentucky!"
Rean then passed his thoughts through Spiritual Sense. In an instant, Kentucky flapped his wings and shot through the skies. However, he only went up for a few seconds when all of a sudden, he began to drop down like a meteor.
*Creee!*
*Boom!*
Immediately, an enormous crater appeared in the middle of the enemy\'s forces. Kentucky\'s Fried Chicken Cannonball\'s shockwave sent all the cultivators at Foundation Establishment flying. Those who were too late to move suffered grievous injuries or died on the spot.
"Arrow Formation, charge!"
Rean\'s group then charged into the enemy\'s ranks, slaughtering everyone on their path as they passed through. Rean then passed another Spiritual Sense thought to Kentucky, who immediately jumped to the back of the formation. There, he used his Black and White flames to defend their back while the group retreated.
Of course, the Cassen cultivators were enraged to see that. Not only had the ambush failed, but they suffered heavy losses during the attack. Their numbers advantage didn\'t help at all. Following that, they immediately started to run after Rean\'s group.
Rean looked behind with his Spiritual Energy and smiled before using his Soul Connection with Roan.
\'There they come.\'
