The Martial Unity

Chapter 1155 Outcome

The impact of this loss was not small. This was not a normal war. Ordinarily, the loss of one combatant was not enough to seal the deal.

However, the Kaddar Treaty Organization was not in the best of circumstances. It had to squeeze and bleed thoroughly just to get as many Martial Seniors as it did get to defeat the Martial Seniors of the Floating Sect.

However, not only did the number of Martial Seniors in the floating Sect increase by thirty-three percent, but the Kaddar Treaty Organization had lost one of its own precious Martial Seniors in battle.

A devastating outcome, and one that proved to be too much for the Kaddar Treaty Organization to overcome.

Their decision to cease their war effort was not a light one, and certainly not a painless one.

How could it be?

The Kaddar Treaty Organization was comprised of the nations of the Kaddar Region, especially the ones that had suffered the most from the presence of Ajanta Island. It was only in this generation of leaders that they had managed to truly come together, find a solution, and ultimately commit to that decision to remove the scourge that was Ajanta Island.

And now, that decision had come crashing down.

They could not afford to even maintain the attack anymore. In order to have a fair battle, they would need a whopping twelve Martial Seniors when they only had ten Martial Seniors on standby.

They could not afford to tear away even more Martial Seniors from their current duties. Many of those duties were truly crucial and important, even when compared to the war.

That was why the Kaddar Treaty Organization ceased all war efforts immediately.

They had lost the Kaddar-Ajanta War.

Yet, despite never having officially exited a state of war against the Floating Sect, the entirety of the Kaddar Region and beyond had come to learn about the Kaddar Treaty Organizationʼs defeat in shock.

Not a single person had expected the Kaddar Region to lose.

After all, the biggest reason that the Kaddar Region had never been able to subdue the Floating Sect was that they could not wage war against the sect without potentially destabilizing or breaking the island as collateral damage.

The Kaddar region as a whole, was far larger than Ajanta Island. Although it was true that a large portion of its capabilities could not be applied against the Floating Sect due to its altitude in the sky, it was also true that the Kaddar Region had enough capital and wealth to dwarf the sect astronomically.

That was why almost no one expected the Floating Sect to be able to effectively resist the Kaddar Treaty Organization. The disparity in size was too great for anybody to imagine the sect succeeding in resistance.

That was why when the death of Senior Ferin was announced, everybody was shocked!

The Kaddar Treaty Organization had made a big song and dance about deploying Martial Seniors to fight the Floating Sect because they had been very confident that they would have been able to win.

However, that confidence was closer to arrogance, and the Kaddar Treaty Organization suffered a heavy blow due to their arrogance!

That meant that the Floating Sect was genuinely superior to the Kaddar Treaty Organization, did it not?

After all, the Kaddar Treaty Organization was unable to overcome the sect in any Realm of battle. The war of the Squire Realm was too costly to win, and the Senior Realm was simply one that the Floating Sect was objectively superior at!

What shocked everyone was that the Kaddar Treaty Organization even let go of the no-entry perimeter that they had set around the Floating Sect.

That meant that Martial Squires could enter the Floating Sect as they pleased!

This revelation singlehandedly caused a movement across the Kaddar Region!

Many uncommitted Martial Squires looking to grow stronger had immediately packed the bare minimum of their necessary belongings and set out towards the Floating Sect.

This war had been the greatest publicity stunt for the sect, it served to advertise the sheer might of the Floating Sect, and more importantly, it highlighted the power of the Martial Squires within the sect.

It gave immense confidence to all Martial Squires that the Floating Sect would be able to make them stronger.

The Floating Sect had already been renowned as a location that made Martial Artists, Martial Squires at least, stronger. That was the reason that there was little to no way in which they would not benefit from the Floating Sect in some way or the other.

Even from the land, tiny dots forming streaks heading towards the island could be seen.

This could not be undone.

The Floating Sect had lost many guardians over the past year, a solid chunk of its entire guardian population. Those spots would soon be filled up with eager and powerful Martial Squires not just from the Kaddar Region but also from beyond the Kaddar Region.

After all, Rui had originally learned about the place from Guildmaster Bradt who provided him with information on avenues for Martial Squires to grow stronger. It already had a reputation for being a place where Martial Squires could grow stronger, and now that reputation would be strengthened greatly. Many Martial Squires would come from even further beyond to join it.

This meant that the overall quality of guardians of the Floating Sect would greatly improve.

It meant that the Kaddar Treaty Organization would never ever be able to challenge the Floating Sect in the Squire Realm ever again, and it already was decisively inferior when it came to the Senior Realm.

The Floating Sect even had the audacity to send out parties to encourage more Martial Squires to come, completely unafraid of receiving retribution from the Kaddar Treaty Organization.

A new dawn had begun shining on the Floating Sect.

Yet, the circumstances of the Floating Sect were more dire than anyone had ever expected it to be, given their victory.
