The Martial Unity

All the necessary preparations were made, and the plan was implemented immediately, and smoothly. Of course, the initial part of the plan was rather straightforward and easy, and low-risk. All they had to do was stage low-risk conflicts, before slowly turning up the heat and increasing the numbers that they dispatched each time.

They breached the hunting territory of the K'ulnen Tribe, infringing on the game, and water sources among other things, ensuring that they got into scuffles, and ensuring that they won.

It was nothing special and drew no large attention from any martial tribe, including even the K'ulnen Tribe.

Vilun Island was a relatively large island, especially when compared to the actual amount of land that was inhabited by humans. The Martial tribes were suspected to not attempt building empires by expanding their territory and population due to wanting to ensure that there remained enough of a separation between their territories and that of their enemies and rivals.

What that meant was that ordinarily, it wasn't easy to actually run into the groups belonging to the other Martial tribes.

Yet, it happened all too frequently on Vilun Island.

A good distance away from the Martial Union settlement, a large group of soldiers of the Martial Union was working together.

Today's operation was particularly important. Amongst the human soldiers were actually two Martial Apprentices of the intelligence team that had hidden and disguised themselves as ordinary humans. Their goal was to intercept any Martial Apprentice that the K'ulnen Tribe dispatched when conflicts broke out.

According to the data that they had at hand, they had managed to correctly identify the scale of human-level conflict at which the K'ulnen Tribe tended to escalate by deploying a Martial Apprentice.

The Martial Union had hit that stage very recently, and Rui had deployed two shadow-class Martial Artists and ensure that when that did happen, their forces were more than adequate to catch the Martial Apprentice off-guard.

Once that happened, hostilities would officially be broken with the first Martial Artist clash between the Martial Union and the K'ulnen Tribe.

had even posted some Martial Apprentices some distance away further behind in case the K'ulnen Tribe deployed more than one. Rui didn't want the first Martial Art conflict between the Martial Union and the K'ulnen Tribe to go poorly. That would reflect very poorly on the Martial Artists of the Martial Union, even
