The Martial Unity

There was a limit to the amount of militaristic capital that each of the nations was willing to spend on the expansion endeavors in the Serevian Dungeon. This limit had to do with the loss of the assets suffered by nations in conflicts with other nations weighed against the profits made by the extraction of the esoteric resources from the territories in the Serevian Dungeon.

Although Martial Apprentices were meant to be deployed in conflicts, no nation was willing to stake too much. The number of Martial Apprentices that were qualified to be deployed in the Serevian Dungeon was not too high. After all, only the Martial Apprentices above grade seven were qualified to be deployed in the Serevian Dungeon. Otherwise, they were simply too weak.

These Martial Apprentices were valuable in and of themselves, after all, it took time, energy, dedication, and resources to train a Martial Apprentice to become grade seven. Each Martial Apprentice was valuable, they certainly weren't disposable or replaceable.

That was why every nation didn't harbor grand plans of trying to dominate the Serevian Dungeon territorially. Not that they didn't want all territory, but the cost of even attempting to fulfill such an extravagant ambition was simply not worth the reward. The losses would far outweigh the gains.

This was why Commissioner Feristen and Colonel Carnes grew shocked when Rui had informed them he knew of a way to defeat a large number of Martial Apprentices and other enemy militaristic assets rather swiftly all by himself without needing their forces to suffer any losses.

They didn't believe him at first.

How could they? It was too ridiculous to believe, even though they knew of Rui's accomplishments. But as Rui began explaining his plan to them, their eyes widened in shock as they realized, he just might be onto something!

"How sure are you of this?" Commissioner Feristen asked with a stern voice.
