The Martial Unity

In the past six months that Rui had set out to master Weaving Blood, and then improve it with the Reaper's Dew, much had changed on Floating Island.

The war had not ceased, nor had it ended. The Kaddar Treaty Organization had rolled out assault after assault chipping away at the strength of the Floating Sect

They deployed nearly a hundred Martial Squires each time, forcing the Floating Sect to deploy a similar number of Martial Squires each time to defend and prevent the Kaddar Martial Artists from reaching the surface of the island.

The conflicts around the island often affected the island, yet it never destabilized or showed any concerning signs as the Kaddar Treaty Organization deployed their mysterious long-range weapon that affected the esoteric substance that served as the gravitational core of the island to hold the island together, making it impossible to destabilize.

The Floating Sect didn't even need to bother too much with active surveillance because they already knew that the Kaddar Treaty Organization was coming ahead of time. Every time the gravity on the surface of the island fluctuated and reduced, they knew that the Kaddar Treaty Organization had employed its weapon to get rid of one of the greatest deterrences that the Floating Sect had against the Kaddar Region; the collapse of the island onto the Kaddar Region.

The Floating Sect had considered the possibility of getting rid of the weapon once and for all with a targeted covert attack. But unfortunately, that was almost impossible to do. The Kaddar Region would see such an attack coming from a mile away.

Covert operations required bypassing awareness by definition, and there was simply no way for the Floating Sect to hide their approach to the Kaddar nation at this point. The fact that it was so physically, economically, and socially isolated from the Kaddar Region meant that there was no way to disguise its operations to the Kaddar Treaty Organization.

That was why the plan to destroy the weapon was temporarily put off.
