During the first week, Walfure Region did nothing more than stand its ground in the cities near the borders. The support formations and the well-equipped higher-level armies were having a leisurely ti while their opponents lost more and more soldiers.
The region one could find above Criw was called Jutras, and it was a region that also bordered Povast on its southwest side, while it bordered Antifas in the southeast. In its capital, Golebias, there was a eting going on between the participants in charge of this region.
"Are you sure about this?" A man asked his subordinate as all the participants of his region heard the conversation.
"Yes, young master," the subordinate answered. "Criw, Povast, and Antifas Regions have allied. Surprisingly, it was quite easy to send scouts into these three regions. None of the three have any army anywhere near the borders separating them."
Soone else couldn't help but ask after hearing that, "But how did you know that you could send scouts that deep into their borders?"
"Because of this," the subordinate showed a System Sect communication badge. No, to be more specific, he brought out ten of them! "We found these inside the spatial ring of the spies we killed. At first, we didn't know what it was and didn't pay much attention. However, after sending our Divine Senses inside, we found sothing unbelievable."
Everyone narrowed their eyes before deciding to send their Divine Senses into the communication badge. "This..."
Imdiately, they saw the many things that the badge could do. Not only that, but a few ssages could also be heard once in a while. The badges themselves had a few emblems on them, showing which region they ca from.
Walfure Region wasn't an exception in this regard. In their case, they used the Jamai Sect's emblem, which was a symbol that looked like a sun being pierced by three spears.
Seeing the different symbols on the badges, the participants of the Jutras Region had a foreboding feeling. "Why didn't we hear about this before?! How did they use such an advanced communication thod while keeping us in the blind?"
The subordinate shook his head, replying, "We only found it these past few days after the war started. We believe that before the ten-year deadline was over, the participants of the three regions didn't distribute these badges to their soldiers at all. In that case, it would have been extrely hard for us to find anything."
Soone was more concerned about sothing else. "It doesn't matter now. How about their armies that are bordering our Jutras Region? With this communication thod, we'll be hard-pressed to defend against their forces."
"We heard from these badges that Criw, Antifas, and Povast are attacking the Walfure Region instead. Of course, no sensitive matter seems to be discussed through these badges. We can't send any spies that far into their territory, so we don't know what's happening there either. However, we can deduce that Walfure is most likely not having a good ti," the subordinate explained.
The head disciple in Jutras nodded after hearing that. "That makes sense. They're getting rid of any possible hindrance behind their borders first. If I were them, I would do that as well. Especially if I had access to such a wonderful communication thod. After getting rid of Walfure, they'll be able to focus on our Jutras instead."
The subordinate imdiately added. "That's not all. Sothing of this level couldn't have been developed during this competition. With that being said, this is a communication thod that all three regions knew even before entering the Free Continent. They didn't ally during the competition. They've already allied even before it started. Otherwise, it would have been pretty idiotic to share this communication thod with the others."
That subordinate's words caused the Jutras Region's participants to beco even more concerned. "We've been focusing on the north and east borders since those were the best targets. Because Antifas, Povast, and Criw were sent to the regions closer to the border, we believed that they weren't our match. We even grew confident since they didn't attack us, so we simply thought they didn't dare to do it at the mont. Seems like we had been really, really underestimating the enemy."
The subordinate couldn't help but ask the head disciple. "Sir, what do I do with these badges?"
"Give them to . Also, take this token and pass this jade slip to Umokis in Garfevo City. After that, you can continue to look for the spies," the head disciple ordered.
"Understood." The subordinate quickly passed the badges over and left right after with the token and Jade Slip.
In the eting room, the head disciple of the Jutras Region then started to discuss how they would deal with the three regions below. In the end, there wasn't much to be addressed. They had to eliminate the threat before it beca too dangerous.
Back in the Formation Guild of Golebias City, that subordinate took a teleport formation back to the borders of Jutras. As soon as he arrived on the other side, he passed the badge to the guy called Umokis.
"Understood." Umokis nodded. He was the commander of the army stationed in the bordering city. "You did well, Hilian. No wonder you're one of our bests."
Hilian laughed out loud in response. "Hahaha! This is nothing! The important thing is that we found out about the three-region alliance in ti." Hilian seed to know Umokis as they talked for a while. Eventually, Hilian was allowed to leave and join the forces scouting the borders once again. After all, he was one of the leading scouts in this area.
However, Hilian suddenly stopped midway. Soon after, his pupils changed as two more pupils appeared there. That was also followed by a pendant being removed from his neck.
The mont the pendant ca out, Light Elent started to escape his body as Hilian's appearance changed. In the end, that wasn't Hilian at all. It was Luan instead!
Luan then removed the makeup on his face, which he learned how to do from none other than Roan. "I have to say, uncle Rean's Light bending skill is just too convenient. It can't be detected by Divine Senses at all. Father's makeup lessons also helped a lot."
He then looked at the sky after that. "Fosxin and the others shouldn't have any problems either. Well, the seeds have been planted. Ti to head back."
