The Martial Unity

The announcement came as a shock to the Floating Sect, many of the guardians were rather startled by this. Given that for more than half a year, the conflict had been restricted to the Squire Realm, the prospect that the war would escalate to the Senior Realm seemed low.

Yet, the Kaddar Treaty Organization had decided that enough was enough and that it was time to finish this once and for all.

This was unnerving to all of the guardians of the Floating Sect because it meant that they were now part of a conflict where their strength was no longer going to be deciding the outcome.

Of course, given that the strongest forces of both sides of the war were at the Senior Realm, it could be said that they never truly were the deciding outcome.

Of course, Rui had not come to learn that Martial Squires was not as irrelevant in battles pertaining to the Senior Realm as he had expected.

The reason for that was because the Martial Heart was the thing that truly separated Martial Seniors from Martial Squires. Without the Martial Heart, their combat prowess would fall off from the Senior Realm and plummet well below.

It was possible for large groups of powerful Martial Squires to make a difference in the outcomes between Martial Seniors.

Or one extremely powerful Martial Squire.

Regardless, it would explain why the Kaddar nations would have liked to mow down the guardians of the Floating Sect.

And it wasn't as though they hadn't been successful about that whatsoever, it was just that although they had mowed down a lot of guardians, they had suffered an even greater loss in exchange. They had suffered tremendously in their efforts to kill the Martial Squires of the Floating Sect.
