Gacha Sovereign

380 Situation

Two months later,

"You need to trick your opponent. Who cares about honesty or whatever it is, as long as you win, then it is good."

There were two people training in the field. The first one was a golden-haired man that looked like a devil, and the other one was a black-haired woman that had been covered by bruises.

They were Alex and Evelyn.

Alex had been training her nonstop, and in these past months, she managed to reach 10-Star Martial Grandmaster. Of course, it was because of Alex's pocket. With his 200 million Spirit Stones, he could even raise her to Martial Lord easily.

However, Alex decided to stop her cultivation and focused on her sword training. They only had one month left before the Grand Tournament, and Alex decided to raise her Sword Domain from 20 meters to 30 meters in this one month.

Of course, Alex never slacked off, even with Evelyn's training. He would soon reach 8-Star Martial Lord. After that, he would be able to make rank 5 Array. Because of that, Alex decided to stop his cultivation as soon as he stepped in 8-Star Martial Lord and started his Array training.

Alex's domains also had reached a hundred mark. Although he had been training his Sword and Spear, as one would expect, it was hard to advance as he reached Sword King.

He could use his Domain pretty well, compressing his domain and channeling it to his weapon, he could do that. However, because he was too absorbed by that, his domain was still stagnant at the 100 meters mark.

Even so, Alex never cared about it because this Sword King ability was truly useful. Sadly, it was very consuming for him at the moment. So, he could not drag the battle too long if he used this ability. However, the power itself was very powerful, and since he could reach 8-Star Martial Lord sooner or later, he would be able to dominate most of the 10-Star Martial Lords.

After fighting for a few minutes, Evelyn fell to the ground, exhausted. She never landed a blow on Alex whenever they had a spar. But Alex was proud of Evelyn's progress. The young girl that filled pure and innocence had grown into a young lady that was full of wisdom and warrior spirit.

"Alright, we will end it here. You are free for today." Alex said.

"I still have energy!" Evelyn let out a weak groan as she felt too tired to move her body.

"Training is good, but if you overdo it, you might get something you want to avoid. At least, take a break for the rest of the day first as tomorrow we will continue your training." Alex said as he stored his sword into his space ring.

However, at this particular time, Anna suddenly came to him, "Nelson wants to talk. It seems the situation has become a little bit complicated."

Alex frowned as he took Nelson's card and came inside. Anna then took care of Evelyn, who could not move on the ground.

"Nelson, what happens?" Alex asked.

"There is a big movement from the Zhou Kingdom. Young Master, do you know where the Grand Tournament will start?"

"No one informs me yet. What kind of big movement?"

"I have been observing them for a few days, and it seems they have been sending a few thousand soldiers toward the north. I don't know about their exact location, but it seems they are going toward Rivulet Forest."

"Rivulet Forest? Is there something in that place?" Alex frowned.

"No, there is nothing in that place. However, not far from Rivulet Forest, there is a big city called Carageo City. It is a big city but considered a neutral city because the city is located on the border of three kingdoms, Hazel Kingdom, Zhou Kingdom, and Thiveapia Kingdom.

"And when I checked that city, it seems they are preparing something big. That's why I am asking if Young Master knows about the place for the tournament or not. If that city is truly the place where the tournament will be held, then I can be sure that they will march toward there.

"Zhou Kingdom is dispatching a few thousand soldiers at the time, so no one would notice them, and after another month, I am afraid they would have at least a hundred thousand soldiers."

"..." Alex was shocked when he heard that information. "A hundred thousand, huh… I will check if the tournament will be held in Carageo City or not. Anyway, do you know about their power level?"

"I can't discern this, but I assume, they would have at least 50,000 Martial Masters, 30,000 Martial Grandmasters, and 3,000 Martial Lords."

"What? Three thousand Martial Lords?"

"Yes. They are new Martial Lords and it appears they just have a breakthrough to the Martial Lord. So, most of them are 1-Star or 2-Star Martial Lords. It seems, because of a few failures, they decided to focus on quantity instead of quality. So, they focus on peak Martial Grandmasters and turn them into Martial Lords."

"Indeed, but with their number, it is hard to stop all of them." Alex pondered for a moment but to no avail. He could not come up with a possible plan to engage a hundred thousand soldiers. Although Alex was sure his spirits would be able to deal with that number, they would still need a few days.

"Young Master, if that were all we needed to deal with, then it will be pretty easy. But…" Nelson paused a little, making Alex frown. "I got information that there will be another kingdom that will come to this continent sneakily from the east port.

"From the information, they also come with their soldiers. But the troublesome thing is the fact they will bring a couple of Martial Kings. And since they even know that the Grand Tournament will be held with the help of a Family from the Northern Continent, I assume they will bring a Peak Martial King to make sure they could kill them.

"If I am not wrong, there will only be one person that will oversee this Grand Tournament from the Northern Continent. And to stop the four sect masters who are Martial King, it would be enough for them to send a mid-level Martial King.

"But that is also the exact problem with this situation. I am afraid this outsider will make sure to kill this person. So, I assume, they will bring many mid-level Martial Kings if not peak Martial King."

Alex's expression became serious. Alex only had two Martial Kings which were Leoz and Nelson. However, he had yet to use his EXP cards because of Anya's request. So, he still had twenty rare EXP cards. And with the current Gacha Tickets, he might be able to get more EXP cards.

But considering that the enemy might have a peak Martial King, Alex was at his wit's end. He was not sure if he could level up Leoz or Nelson to peak Martial King to contend with them.

Alex remembered the mission for this Grand Tournament, but he would only get it if he won the tournament. If they decided to attack before the Grand Tournament ended, Alex would not get that UR EXP card, which could level up his spirit by a whole realm.

'How many will we get if we mobilize the disciples from Heavenly Sword Sect?' He thought. After all, it was a bit hard for them to deal with those Martial Kings as well as the soldiers alone. So, Alex could only rely on the sect, but Alex also knew the Heavenly Sword Sect would not have a hundred thousand disciples.

Alex took out Nano's card and summoned him. Soon enough, a blonde man appeared in front of him. His face was handsome, and his body was perfect with those abs. However, people could see two long fangs. Nano was a vampire.

"I want you to go to the port in the east. I am sure I don't need to explain to you the detail of your mission, right?"

"Indeed. Please be assured, Young Master. I won't let them escape my nose." Nano nodded as he turned into a bat and disappeared.

Alex summoned both Nano and Artur at the same time as soon as he got back from the little competition. Nano aside, the meeting between Artur and him was not that pleasant.

Artur also had golden hair like him. But, if Alex needed to describe in one word, he would describe Artur as 'Shiny.' He was like a knight in shining armor that helped everyone in need. Ultimately, Alex sent him to a nearby forest to level up.

Anyway, Alex decided to send Nano to observe the port so he would know how many of them. However, Alex had yet to solve the problem. He did not have enough people to tackle all of those soldiers.

However, at this time, Charya came to his house. Of course, because Alex was still in meetings with Nelson, Anna called him first.

"I will talk with you about this later," Alex said.

"Yes."

After he said that, he came out of his house to meet Charya.

"Well, I just want to inform you that we have confirmed the place for the Grand Tournament," Charya said.

However, before she said the place, Alex suddenly said, "Carageo City."

Charya was surprised when she heard that. She asked with a dumbfounded expression, "You know about it?"

"No, I just heard the rumor about it. But since Elder Charya has confirmed that is the place. We have a pressing matter." Alex said while frowning.

Charya tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"Zhou Kingdom secretly made a big move. They are gathering an army of a hundred thousand strong outside that city, specifically in Rivulet Forest." Alex explained.

"What? Rivulet Forest?" Charya started sweating when she heard about this.

"However, there is a possibility that the number will increase. I assume they will attack us after the tournament." Alex stated.

"This…" Charya gasped. "Actually, I also want to inform you about the competition together with Evelyn. For our Lord Stage Competition, we will fight another influence as a team, it will be a normal competition, and I will leave the details for later.

"However, for our Grandmaster Stage Tournament, it was similar to our elder token competition. They would need to collect a few tokens and the highest number would win."

"What do you mean?" Alex was confused as he could not relate these competitions to the matter of Zhou Soldiers.

Charya shook her head. "The place for the Grandmaster Stage Tournament is Shawmar Forest."

"I couldn't relate…" Alex suddenly pondered something before he realized why she said that.

"!!!"

Charya nodded. "Carageo City is surrounded by two forests. On the right, they will meet Shawmar Forest, but on their left, they will meet Rivulet Forest. So, the reason why they chose Rivulet Forest is because our focus will be on Shawmar Forest on the opposite side."

Alex closed his eyes while furrowing his eyebrows. He could not come up with a single plan. "Elder Charya, if the sect mobilizes the disciples, how many do you think will go? No, can the other sects or kingdoms move together with us?"

Charya shook her head. "Other sects and kingdoms won't be able to move with us, especially with only a month. After all, we just were targeted by many influences, so their trust in us is low at the moment.

"And even if they know about this matter, they will try to investigate them first, which will take more time. They won't move immediately unless they believe in us. So, we can't hope them to come to aid us in this even if their country is in danger because they have yet to confirm if it is the case.

"As for our sect, we might be able to gather ten thousand Martial Grandmasters and twenty Martial masters. Will that be enough?"

Alex gritted his teeth. If that all were they needed to deal with, Alex would nod his head with confidence. But with many Martial Kings in the dark, Alex could not nod his head.

After hearing those stuff, Anna suddenly came to them from behind. She suddenly said something they never thought.

"Couldn't you just ask the reinforcement from Rainbow Flower Sect? I mean, asking that Letizia directly."
