Chapter 368
Now then, Chikere was lecturing Timothy and Catarina, To keep these swords you have to want them more than these dead guys. Otherwise they might be able to pull them away from you, even into the next life. Even though her energy wasnt depleted to any serious extent, the two swords she lifted to them were trembling. Because were long time friends, you two can have number four and five.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
Catarina raised an eyebrow at the shaking, then smiled. Why dont we take um some of the slightly less potent ones. Id rather not have to match wills against a Life Transformation sword cultivator, regardless of their relative degree of attachment.
A great sigh of relief came from Chikere. Oh. Thanks. The swords she was holding immediately stopped trembling as they found their way to her side. You hear that four through seven? Ill be taking care of you from now on. Chikere tossed two others to Timothy and Catarina- using just her energy as her arms were still bound. These two should suit you most of that batch.
How did you find us? Timothy asked.
Anton laughed, Im going to make a bet that she was here for the swords.
Hey! Chikere frowned, I also came this way because I heard you guys had come to Facraona!
And you hurried towards this battle because? Anton dragged out the question.
Because they had nice swords, she admitted. But when I was close enough to tell it was you it was also for that. And the first thing I did was save your life!
Well, Anton shrugged, Probably just an arm or two, but since I dont have the expertise to reattach them thats pretty close. He looked pointedly at her arms. What happened there?
I temporarily lost the use of my arms for the sake of Number One! Catarina grinned as she floated a blade in front of her. I still needed Elder Vasus help though.
Just looking at it made Anton hurt. Thats a powerful sword.
Its probably killed more people than I have, Chikere nodded. Though Im pretty sure most of those werent in the hands of this guy. He was good, but not that good. If our cultivations were the same, he wouldnt stand a chance.
You know, Anton said, I would have expected your combat prowess to drop more with your arms out of commission. It seems they dont really matter that much with your style though.
Catarina interjected, They came slightly into that time period, for the sake of ease of passage and stability.
So there could be another wave of invaders? someone asked.
It is possible but Adelina shook her head, Unlikely. We have received no indication that anyone was expecting further arrivals. Communications likewise seem limited in direction. Certain sects were offered bribes at the beginning of the time period though few were so foolish as the Eternal Sword Hall to actually accept them.
Chikere spoke up at that point. They did receive weapons of value to them, but I dont imagine they were of significant value to the invaders. They simply intended to stoke more local conflict so they could clean up afterwards and take everything for themselves. The real swords they kept for themselves. Compare these, Chikere said, floating swords number one, two, and four. See the difference in quality? We are able to make better weapons here, though only by a small margin.
I, um Elder Adelina looked at the swords. I have some sense of what you mean but perhaps you should explain for the others.
Right, Chikere commented, Well, number one here. It was from one of their ascended individuals. A powerful swordmaster, and an unmatched blade. Number two here once belonged to Vianne, until her defeat by swordmaster Rahayus blade. It was made by a smith from this world, though perhaps using techniques we were mostly unaware of at the time. The Twin Soul Sect was related to its creation. Chikere flicked another sword to float between the others. Number three here was made purely by skills and techniques developed in our world. And number four through seven here were the prizes given to the Eternal Sword Hall. Fine blades, but certainly not the best the so-called upper realms could provide.
Thats right, Adelina continued. Though they seem to have high quality herbs and materials, what they seem to be lacking are materials that develop more easily in the presence of lower energy along with herbs and beasts that thrive here. This was guessed previously, but can easily be seen in their actions- how even now they are stripping bare the mountains and digging beneath them as we watch and wait.
And if we dont act quickly, Sarka pointed out, We cant be certain what will happen with Estary. If the invaders join forces, we might be in trouble. Aicenith seems to be handling its own issues for the moment, with enough certainty to allow Chikere and others from the Million Sword Vault to join us, but there is no guarantee the situation wont change for the worse. We need to crush these invaders. Though I wont suggest an immediate attack, but rather whatever we ultimately deem to be most effective.
Catarina gestured to the map of the Cragtooth mountains. They enemy forces are located in this region. It is a rather large area, up to tens of kilometers on a side. It is not exact, and likely somewhat smaller than this representation, but it wasnt possible to get precise measurements for obvious reasons. Efforts have already begun to discern weaknesses in their defensive formations and organization of their forces within. If they were actually spread out throughout the area and we could quickly break through the formation we might be able to sweep over smaller pockets of enemies. But if we make an attempt and it fails, well ultimately weaken our own position.
Discussion of various methods began. The Cragtooth mountains were difficult to traverse, though there were several routes up. Coming from the northern part of the range would involve a longer duration of difficult navigation that would be especially hard on the weaker cultivators among them, but it would also allow them to avoid the most difficult portions of the journey under the watchful eye of the enemy. Unfortunately it would also mean taking several days extra to begin the assault, which would likely be quite obvious and allow the enemy to prepare a combined defense.
Knowing that the invaders were from various factions it was proposed that discord might be sewn among them, but unfortunately that relied on having a safe method of communication with them along with some knowledge of how the involved sects got along. Bits and pieces had been gleaned through interrogations of captured prisoners, but ultimately they didnt have enough to go on. It was kept in mind for use during the actual battles, since they might be able to count on certain sects being marginally slower to aid certain others, but there was nothing that could be done immediately.
The ultimate goal was also discussed. While it was possible to pressure them from Facraona in the east as well as the areas to the south and west, it was also valuable to potentially let them push eastward. If they came into range of Paradise it would be of great detriment to them. Facraona of course didnt want to allow them into their land even for the duration of a battle, and it had to be admitted that they didnt need any more inland salty seas. One was enough, even if it was rather small. Still, it had to be considered as a factor.
Discussions went late into the night and dragged on through the next day before something solid was ultimately put together.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
