Chapter 1375 - Infernal (1) (1/2)

As Dyon was finally preparing to leave toward Chaos Universe, an uproar was blazing through the martial world, unbeknownst to him.

The first bit of news sounded the death of former Head Void and the instatement of his son, Kaori Void as the new head of the kitsune clan.

How this news became public knowledge was truly baffling, especially considering the fact that Kaori sealed the clan and recalled all youths in training back. Even Kaori would have been stunned to know that this had somehow become common knowledge… However, with a bit of thought, he would have understood exactly how this happened.

In the end, it was too late to stop the spread of news. The death of a clan head from a top 30 quadrant wasn't anything to ignore, however Kaori's swift action stopped the Shruti from being able to take advantage.

All kitsune withdrew from the tower, returning to their home quadrant and stopping the enemy's ability to use them as leverage or spies for their clans.

After this, the kitsune withdrew their armies from gates that bordered their and the Shruti's territory.

According to reports, instead of fighting for gates, Kaori directly commanded the release of all tower ownersh.i.p.s but one. On the surface, this move seemed stupid, but even Aritzia Sapientia's eyes glowed with a fierce light when she read the reports.

If the kitsune only had to defend one tower for every gate the Shruti could attack from, that meant that they could apply the least amount of manpower to achieve the best benefits.

And, even if the Shruti managed to conquer that final tower, so what? The Shruti would still have to then attack on kitsune soil. Something they weren't ready to do. No one wanted to fight pyric wars, which was why campaigns were mostly just used to temper young geniuses.

When clans began to realize that the Sapientia News Network was useful for more than just giving updates on the latest gossip and could actually be used for keeping tabs on the large movements of important clans, subscriptions skyrocketed.

If Dyon had known about this, he would have laughed like a little girl. In just a few months, profits jumped from just 10 to 20 dao stones, to over 100 a month!

This was a true blessing in disguise. The Sapientia suddenly understood that what Clans values most wasn't information on the latest fight between the Masked Wife Stealer and his love rivals, but rather practical news about movements of clans and large corporations.

Because this realization dawned upon them, when Clara presented phase two, their resistance was far less than it would have been before.
