What? The number of monsters increased to 50,000?!
That is an insane increment!
”When was this confirmed?” Duan Li asked as his countenance changed.
”It appears that the change was abrupt.. right after we finished our meeting too.. therefore it's safe to say that this change was due to.. Time!” Wang Guozhi replied.
Due to this, the academy had to overhaul their plan and included the Second and Third squad as part of the advance attacking force. This was because there was no way the academy could increase their manpower to more than 6,000..
If they did, that would just be sending the juniors to their deaths!
”What about the military?” Duan Li asked, turning his head towards the Principal.
The latter shook his head and sighed as he replied;
”According to the non-agression pact, the military are not allowed to do any activity outside the borders. As you know, the other seven Empires out there excluding our neigbour Liu Empire are all behemoth existences that we shouldn't provoke.”
”It's thanks to this treaty that we are not dragged into their battlefield and wars.. if they ever found out that we did not honour the treaty, no matter for whatever reason it may be, they would use that as a cause for them to rally their forces and occupy our Empire!”
Hearing this, Duan Li couldn't help but to grit his teeth in frustration.
Damn it!
It's true that there were wide rivers and deserts surrounding their Empire that were filled with numerous creatures and other dangerous hazards, and these had played their part in keeping their Empire safe from the other outside forces for a very long time now, but actually, if they focused their effort, those obstacles would be nothing for them!
It was only because of them honoring the treaty that they did not did as so.
However, that does not meant that those outside forces were not looking for any opportunity to march into their Empire. In fact, the land where the Jiu and Liu Empire occupies now were sandwiched in-between the other four empires in the four cardinal directions.
Although their distances were vast and far apart, the land of Jiu and Liu Empire were still a strategic location that could be occupied to provide a two-front attack against any of the other three empires!
The only reason why they hadn't done that just yet was again, due to the non-agression pact. For some reason, no one wanted to be the first to earn the title of a dishonorable Emperor or Empire by breaking the treaty first.
This was why the Jiu Empire had to keep their hands clean at all cost!
Hais!
”The only thing that the Empire could do right now is to dispatch the military to guard the nearby villages in case of some rogue monsters were able to enter from our encirclement. Even as we are speaking at the moment, they were already on their way to the respective villages.” said Ling Yu by the side.
”That's right, but the effectiveness would be quite limited because we had to spread our military forces thin due to the sheer number of villages on the north. All in all, there's got to be more than 50 villages out there alone!” Wang Guozhi added.
In perspectives, the majority of military personnel consisted mainly of cultivators lead by the Offcial Knights. Although their numbers were far more than the total number of students in the academy, these cultivators were uneven in their cultivation realm.
Furthermore, as they were not endowed with the same privileges as the student of the academy, where the Empire gave their resources to aid the students, these cultivator soldiers only had their numbers to make up for the lack of their quality.
Therefore, the majority of them has a very low cultivation realm, averaging at the middle stage of the Qi condensation realm and the highest around Early stage of the Foundation establishment realm.
