The Martial Unity

"The immediate goal of the Sekigahara Confederate upon any such invasion would be to ensure that no conflict occurs within their territory." Commission Feristen explained. "After all, ideally our goal would be to ensure the conflict occurs within their border, this would inflict the most amount of damage to their base and would ensure that their expansion is hindered the most. Their goal is the exact opposite. They'll want to minimize the amount of damage we inflict, while also maximizing our losses."

Rui nodded. This was common sense. It was impossible to prevent any damage from being inflicted in such a conflict, but at the very least the damage could be significantly minimized depending on their strategy and tactics.

"If they want to minimize the damage done to their territory, it logically follows that not letting the conflict take place within their territory is ideal. There are only two ways of doing this." he paused, before continuing. "Either their defensive measures prevent us from entering their territory, which is certainly a tall order. Or they intercept out force away from their territory with their own counter-offense striking force."

He projected another image detailing the known information regarding the defensive measures of the base Sekigahara territory.

"The probability of a powerful force not inflicting at least some damage to their territory once the assault team reaches their territory is low. This is because their territory is large and their defensive resources are spread across a wide area whereas our offensive resources are going to be very focused on a single part of the border. Once we reach the border of their territory, it will become untenable to ensure that no damage is inflicted on their territory. Therefore, the second option is evaluated to be much more likely."

He pressed a button on his projector that switched to a map featuring the Kandrian Empire's and the Sekigahara Confederate's territories in the Serevian Dungeon.

In a chaotic scenario like the conflict they were going to be engaged in, as long as he was careful, he was going to be quite safe for the most part. Although it wasn't too unlikely that there would be Martial Apprentices with enough sensory prowess to at the very least sense him, there was likely almost nobody that could sense him
