Chapter 1791: Developments
His two subordinates nodded and immediately left. The woman from Lativan Country also left in a hurry as she had to tell her companions about the situation... or so did Lanteo think.
One might be thinking why Brumel would suddenly ally with Butiva Country and the twins, right? Brumel and the twins' group had no relation whatsoever before. Obviously, there was an explanation for it.
The woman left the palace where she talked with Lanteo and headed straight to the Formation Hall in the Formation Guild of Jaxto's capital. After that, she took a teleport formation to leave the country. However, the teleport formation she took was not one that headed to Lativan Country. Instead, the teleport formation she used sent her straight to Butiva!
In the System Sect's Teleportation Hall, the woman that was once talking with Lanteo suddenly appeared. Not only that, Light Element began to come out of her body as it changed into a completely different appearance.
A moment later, Jessica appeared with a bucket of water for the woman. "Thank you for the help, Senior Vana." She then helped Vana wipe the makeup off her face and hair.
Vana was not someone from Lativan. Instead, she was one of the Transition Realm cultivators of Butiva Country! It's just that Rean and Roan had memorized the faces of every single subordinate under the command of the other sect disciples during the conference.
From there, the rest was easy to guess. After Roan's group succeeded in subjugating Himisve, Roan used his communication badge to contact Vana. Rean had used his Light Element, while Roan used his makeup skills to change her appearance. During her time in Jaxto Country, she looked exactly the same as the woman under Kastrabe's command.
As for why Lanteo didn't doubt that? That's because only the subordinates of the disciples themselves were supposed to have Transition Realm cultivation! Since Vana also had a cultivation at the peak of the Transition Realm and looked exactly like Kastrabe's subordinates, he totally believed she was the real deal.
Not only that, she appeared right when he was thinking about asking for Lativan's help. What did that mean? It meant that Butiva Country had read through his thoughts and already prepared a countermeasure to keep Lativan busy while Tramara and Butiva took over his country! Poor Lanteo... little did he know that Lativan was doing just fine. No one was attacking them. If anything, Lativan was still far from having an army ready to attack anyone.
In fact, Jaxto's army was also very far from that point. It's just that Lanteo didn't want to let the chance to attack Butiva while it was busy clashing against Tramara pass up. Butiva's disciple was only in the Initial Stage of the Space Bending Realm, after all. If everything worked well, he would end up swallowing both Tramara and Butiva at the same time! Unfortunately, he fell for the twins' trap.
With that, there were now two huge armies heading in his direction. Well, Tramara's army wasn't as well prepared as Butiva's since it didn't have the same time, resources, and methods to prepare. Nevertheless, they were a huge help.
At the same time, Lanteo sent one of his subordinates to ask for Roslar Country's help. One must remember that Roslar's disciple was Leticia, Luina's friend. Of course, she already knew about the entire plot by now, so she would simply pretend to accept the idea of Lanteo's subordinate before sending his subordinate away. Few truly knew of Leticia and Luina's relationship.
At the same time, Brumel was completely oblivious to what was happening. After all, Brumel was on the opposite side of Jaxto Country in relation to Butiva. Once again, Brumel was not Butiva. They didn't have the System Sect's methods to manage the country. Naturally, there was no way their army was ready to launch an attack.
Of course, there was more. Roan had kept quite a few Transition Realm soldiers in the defensive points against Brumel and Lativan. Since he didn't need to worry about attacks coming from Roslar, Tramara, and Jaxto, he could use his remaining forces to be positioned against Lativan and Brumel. Yes, Roan used around half of Butiva's forces to attack Jaxto together with Tramara. Meanwhile, the other half could focus completely on Brumel and Lativan's borders.
Sure, the twins used Vana to fool Lanteo. But that didn't mean Lativan and Brumel definitely wouldn't attack during this moment. The chances of attacks coming from those two were minuscule but not non-existent. Thanks to that, they could focus the rest of their entire forces and Tramara's forces on taking down Jaxto.
Lanteo didn't come out when the war between the two countries started, though. After all, Himisve and Luina were together in it. He might be arrogant and overconfident. Yet, he didn't think he could fight two Space Bending Realm disciples of his Jamai Sect alone, even if Luina was just at the Initial Stage.
Roan didn't use the same method he used against Hismive either, though.
Himisve couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't we attacking their forces with our higher cultivations? We could definitely lure Lanteo out just like what you did with me."
Roan looked at him and shook his head. "First, my army needs training. Second, using the same trick twice will definitely make the other countries grow suspicious. We have to bring Jaxto's country into a critical junction and make it look like Lanteo had no other choice but to come out. Only then can we subjugate him."
"Training, uh?" Himisve looked at the battle that had been going on for a few days. Under the twins' command, it wasn't really a battle anymore. It was a one-sided massacre. Roan's knowledge about warfare and strategy was simply not something Lanteo could ever hope to contend against.
Lanteo saw how he was losing quickly, so he was forced to mobilize the entire country's forces to meet the enemy. He couldn't care about protecting his borders from the other countries anymore. Thanks to that, he did match Butiva and Tramara's numbers on the battlefield. Nevertheless, he was losing so badly that even the elders watching it from outside the continent felt sad for Lanteo.
