The Martial Unity

Now that he had secured the support of a Martial Sage to aid with ensuring that Master Reina didn't get exposed to other Martial Sages or extremely powerful Martial Masters, he could be a lot more assured about the security of his plan to have her take over in his stead once he essentially won the Kandrian Throne War.

'Now that I've secured the Martial Union's full cooperation, it's time to bulldoze through the competition and win seventy-five percent of high-ranking government officials,' Rui said, narrowing his eyes.

With the Martial Union's support, it was going to be smooth for the most part. No government official could resist the power that the Martial Union had.

If they wanted a powerful potion brewed from rare substances, then he could simply instruct several Martial Masters of the union to head down the Beast Domain and procure the required substances in exchange for that high-ranking government official's support.

In the worst-case scenario, he could employ the Martial Sages to a minor extent. And the number of things that were too difficult for a Martial Sage was quite limited and usually involved other Martial Sages.
