It was quite uncharacteristic for the Kandrian Empire to be hyper-aggressive and brazen as it did. It was a dangerous decision that sohow managed to work out in their favor.
"How was our interception force routed so soundly?" A man in military garb gritted his teeth as he walked into a crowded room. "Their Martial Apprentices can't possibly be stronger than ours on average!"
"Sergeant Mindow, according to the analyst departnt, it seed that the cause of the defeat of the interception force was actually mainly caused by two Martial Apprentices."
"WHAT?!" Segreant Mindow. "You're telling two Martial Apprentices caused all of this!?"
"That's correct, sir." The intelligence officer gulped. "The analyst departnt hasn't yet compiled a report, but even based on partial analysis, it's clear that two particular Martial Apprentices caused the disproportionate losses that our interception force suffered."
"Bring all the details imdiately." The man bellowed in response.
The intelligence agent rushed out of the office, and within an hour, there was a report on the sergeant's table.
The report was more than illuminating.
"An extre stealth maneuverer that has mastered the pinnacle of evasive misdirection." He spat. "We needed high-grade sensory Martial Apprentices to contain this nace. Ideally, they're going to also need long-range and wide-scale offensive capability, in order to deal with the speed of the Martial Apprentice, codenad Ghost."
This was a viable and effective solution. By bringing in Martial Apprentices equipped to handle the dangerous elents of the Martial Apprentice that needed to be contained, they could create sound solutions to ensure they would never again suffer such losses against the Kandrian Empire.
Yet, the sergeant's eyes squinted in confusion as he turned the page. "Hm?"
"That's the intelligence on the second Martial Apprentice for the disproportionate losses that our interception team suffered, sir."
"I can see that." He gritted his teeth. "But where's the damn analysis on his Martial Art!? The strengths? Weaknesses? That section is basically empty!"
"Unfortunately, the analyst departnt was unable to comprehend the nature of the Martial Path of the Martial Apprentice in question." The intelligence agent gulped.
"What? What did you just tell ?"
"The analyst team wasn't able to successfully grasp the core of the Martial Art of the Martial Apprentice in question." He squeezed out.
"INCOMPETENT FOOLS." The sergeant roared as he slamd the docunt into the ground. "A single Martial Art of a Martial Apprentice confounds the team of analysts that were chosen to be deployed to the Serevian Dungeon?! The height of uselessness!"
"Forgive for saying so, sir." The intelligence ekly interjected. "But it isn't that the analysts aren't competent, it's that the Martial Art we are dealing with isn't sothing ordinary, in fact, its traits are sothing we've frankly never seen before. It's a genuine anomaly."
The sergeant cald down a bit at those words and frowned at the prospect. "A Martial Art so obtuse and deviant that even analysts can't crack?"
He glanced back at the docunt, combing through the observations and inferences made by the analyst departnt.
The Martial Artist, codenad Abyss, in question didn't seem to have any core style, any affinity towards techniques or fields. This was the biggest stumbling block in trying to accurately and precisely identify the actual combat style of the codena Abyss. His fighting style changed too drastically from opponent to opponent.
It was far different from the all-rounder style that used many fields to relatively equal degrees regardless of the opponent. His style changed from fight to fight, from circumstance to circumstance.
It was formless, almost like it was water.
The analyst departnt comnted that his fighting style did not seem to change at random but in a fashion that seed extrely efficient and effective against his opponents.
However, that wasn't the most shocking part. The most shocking part about the Martial Apprentice, the main reason why he was incredibly dominant against nearly any Martial Apprentice he ran into was his extraordinary accuracy and precision in so far as the placent and timing of his every move. According to a preliminary analysis conducted by the Martial Consortium of the Sekigahara Confederate, the placents and timings for each of his movents were extrely effective. Allowing him to produce extrely effective results with every movent, far more so than was normally possible.
The Martial Consortium had not yet formulated a viable and sound solution against codena Abyss, although the task was being prioritized.
"Even the Sekigaharan Martial Consortium couldn't tell us how to take him down imdiately?" His eyes widened.
The Sekigaharan Martial Consortium was a private organization ford by the Martial Artists of the Sekigahara Confederate. It was similar to the Martial Union, yet there were a few key differences. The Consortium was looser and far more flexible than the Martial Union, yet it also provided far fewer benefits to the mbers of the Consortium than the Martial Union did.
Kandrian Martial Union was just one of the many Martial Artist organizations that existed on the Panama Continent. There were many shapes and forms such organizations took, in so cases, they didn't at all, Martial Artists were completely dissolved by the state. Though such states were uncommon.
In so cases, the Martial Artist organization took over the state and beca the ruling entity, imposing Martial Law and Regi. Though neither the Kandrian Empire nor the Sekigahara Confederate were nearly as extre as either side.
"For now." The sergeant just gritted his teeth. "Just gather a bunch of strong Martial Apprentices of different kinds of Martial Art the next ti we engage in conflict with the Kandrian Empire. That should be enough. They'll see that one Martial Apprentice can never truly be enough to influence a war all by himself."
This was the only option they had for now. If quality was lacking, then the very best they could do was simply compensate with quantity and hope that it did the job well enough
"Yes sir." The intelligence officer bowed before raising his head and scurrying out of the room.
