The Martial Unity

The battle eventually ended in a somewhat unclear draw. The incoming invasion had been impeded and halted from entering Floating Island, but it had cost both sides a lot of Martial Squires.

A small proportion of the guardians of the Floating Sect had perished in battle.

Floating Sect had grown weaker. Every battle chipped away at its net strength. Although not many died, and although it would not be easy to deplete the guardians of the Floating Sect, it was still something that would take a toll on the sect.

Especially since the sect could not replenish the lost Martial Artists. Every Martial Squire lost was a permanent loss.

The reason for this, of course, was the heavy restriction from the Kaddar Treaty Organization. They had deterred Martial Squires from entering the island in the past, but it had never been an absolute barricade as it was this time.

In the past, there was no way to wage large-scale wars against the Floating Sect. The proximity of conflict near the island causing just enough damage to destabilize it and trigger a chain reaction that would lead to the island collapsing and plummeting was too high for the risk to be taken.

In that case, enacting a permanent restriction that prevented any Martial Squires from entering the island was not worth it because it they would need to maintain it forever since the island would be around forever since they could not do anything about the it at the time.

However, things had changed.

Now, with a some long-range weapon that had been customized to employ the gravity of the core of the island to stabilize the island, they could not wage war against the sect without fear. In that case, the replenishment of guardians that the Floating Sect gained from the incoming Martial Squires was too great.
