Book 7, Chapter 3: Arranged Battle (2/2)
“Why not?” Eternal Night countered, “We have indeed drea tiht’s stance
Eternal Night went on, saying, “Su Chen wants to use Sky City’s newfound strength to carve out and take a part of the northwestern territory, but wouldn’t Sky City be doing the same to the Boundless Sect? Su Chen’s plan is in fact quite enticing”
Lonely Skyleap said anxiously, “But what if Su Chen deceived us? What if the Boundless Sect has no intentions of reciprocating and instead aht calmly replied, “Ambush what? Sky City?”
Lonely Skyleap was momentarily taken aback
Of course they could not a of their excursion into the northwest Where would their forces gather if not there?
Lonely Skyleap finally understood
Wherever Sky City was, that here the Harpies would gather
There was no need to worry about the possibility of a backstab at all
Of course, it was not like no Harpies would rehout Harpy territory that still needed to be protected If the Boundless Sect really did ambush thenificant daht said, “Well, it seems that Su Chen has already anticipated that issue He’s already proposed a way to assuage our concerns”
“Which is?”
“To have observers present for both sides”
In the letter, Su Chen directly proposed the idea of each side having their own observers Specifically, the plan involved both sides sending observers to the other side and then giving them transmission boxes so that they could communicate in real-ti ar as scheduled towards the rendezvous point
There would be around ten or so of these designated observers, ould be switched out twice every year to ensure that they wouldn’t be bribed to the other side
The observers’ main purpose was to ensure that neither army would make any actions that were detrimental to their allies However, they were not allowed to spy and report on any military secrets
This would help ameliorate the lack of trust between the two races so that they could advance towards a oal
At the end of the letter, Su Chen also included, “The Origin Races are eneent Races They were blessed with so many resources, and yet they wasted theent Races should seize our rightful glory by wiping out these external foes rather than hu ourselves with internal squabbles”
Su Chen hadthe conflict as an “internal squabble”
After Lonely Skyleap read through the rest of the letter, he fell speechless
Afterti on accepting his suggestion?”
Eternal Night confidently replied, “Of course Why not? Su Chen’s suggestion is very fair, and it also aligns ith oals This is the last opportunity ill ever have to truly rise to power If we succeed, ill be finally able to rule the entire continent”
“But if we lose”
“Then we lose,” Eternal Night said unhesitatingly, “This situation is truly a winner-take-all one Once you beco to be so”
This was Eternal Night’s viewpoint
Trailblazing a path to the northas not the most important point What truly
Su Chen was basically agreeing to fight the Harpies at Skywild Plains As for the arduous trek there, it was merely a test, and also the accessory spoils to the real battle Truly, this was a coame
The side that successfully conquered the other here would lay sole clai side would naturally become the vanquished and fade into history
This was in fact a rigorous test of both sides’ reinforce As such, it was truly an exhaustive battle that would test all their aspects
Both Su Chen and Eternal Night possessed supree victorious
Su Chen fully believed that the Boundless Sect would be able to convert any resources they gained into real coenerative abilities Any spoils they plundered fro the ould be quickly converted into resources and used to ht, on the other hand, believed in Sky City’s impenetrable defenses, which made them invincibile in e, they would consume very little of their resources This was more akin to a warrior with incredible defensive prowess, as capable of sienerated rapidly, while the other sustained very few losses
These characteristics were distinctly unique to them
This hy both of them were absolutely confident that they would ultimately secure victory
If they felt assured of victory, then why not give it a try?
They were going to fight anyways, so there was no reason to not do so at Skywild Plains
Even though both sides ary of the other side’s sche of each other greatly alleviated any fears of the other party actually succeeding in such plans
And they could understand each other on a deep level because they were both extreht knew that Su Chen wouldn’t try anything funny
And after receiving Eternal Night’s reply, Su Chen was si out to the northwest
The order was spread far and wide for the Seven Kingdoms to muster up all their resources and ether with the Boundless Sect
The Boundless Sect was noton their own this time

A battle that was about to envelop half the continent was about to take place
