The declaration of war by the Kaddar Treaty Organization was something that sent waves not just across the Kaddar Region, but also beyond it.

This was more than just a little shocking.

More than a century had gone by with no major outbreak of war and that had all been disrupted and upended abruptly.

Many people didn't understand, the Kaddar Treaty Organization had avoided an outbreak of war due to the fact that it was too risky to wage war against the Floating Sect that was holed up on the island, yet it had suddenly changed its tune.

Was it no longer afraid of the island falling?

The destructive might of one thousand Martial Squires was immense, a conflict of such scale on both sides could easily bring about the ruin of the island, and the Kaddar Region by extension.

The declaration of war had a profound impact on the nations of the Kaddar Region. For one, there was a small but noticeable decrease in imports and exports. Wars destabilized the participating nations, and generally, it was not worth investing in the markets of such nations in that case for many corporates that signed long-term contracts with suppliers or service producers from the nations.

Yet the Kaddar Treaty Organization went ahead with the plan without stopping at all, the Martial Squires that were going to be part of the Kaddar task force were soon in place.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm The Kaddar Treaty Organization had not found it easy to obtain the Martial labor needed to take down the elite Squire-level army of the Floating Sect. Many funds had been expended into immigrating the Martial Squires into the Kaddar Region.

After all, as a Senior-level region, the Kaddar Region was not necessarily swimming in Martial Squires.

After all, the reason that they were restricted to the Senior Realm was that there weren't enough Martial Seniors to have one of them eventually break through to the Master Realm. This necessarily meant that there weren't enough Martial Squires for there to be enough Martial Seniors emerging from them.

That was why they brought in more powerful Martial Squires from outside.

The Martial Squires of the Floating Sect were far from run off the mill. They were powerful even among high-grade Martial Squires. If the Kaddar nations pit their own domestic native Martial Squires against them, they would get beaten so hard it wasn't even funny. That was why there was a need to rely on stronger Martial Squires as well.

The Martial Squires that they had gotten were not just temporary sub-ins for the war. They had made a strong attempt to ensure that they remained with the Kaddar Region even after the war, settling down permanently.

This would strengthen the nation in the long run, and increase the number of Martial Seniors that the Kaddar Region would have in the long run.

The Kaddar Treaty Organization had yet to make any statement on the matter of the Martial Seniors of the Floating Sect.

However, it was an unspoken rule that Martial conflicts were limited by the same Realm. If the Floating Sect retaliated with Martial Seniors, it would immediately escalate the war, and the Kaddar nations would be forced to deploy their Martial Seniors.

Many figured that the Martial Seniors of the Floating Sect did not want this outcome. There were fewer Martial Seniors in the Floating Sect than there were in the Kaddar Region as a whole.

The only advantage they had in that regard was that every nation was highly reluctant to volunteer their Martial Seniors for war. If the Kaddar Region was one nation then the Floating Sect would have never stood a chance to begin with.

However, due to the sheer lack of unity and trust between the Kaddar nations, the situation could be salvaged. The Floating Sect had not yet issued a public response, but nobody watching the situation had any doubts about what the response was going to be. After all, there was no way that the Floating Sect was simply going to surrender Ajanta Island to the Kaddar Treaty Organization after all this time.

Regardless, the situation grew increasingly tense by the day as the initial invasion could begin any moment. There was even a certain degree of migration observed in the Kaddar nations. Many of the citizens of these nations had long had enough and were on the cusp of leaving, and the declaration of war was the final straw.

The fear of the island was something that was deep-rooted in many of the citizens. After all, Ajanta Island had caused harm to the citizens of the Kaddar Region.

Yet the prospect of war was also too much for them, and many left the region permanently, hoping to find a new home in a less chaotic and dangerous region.

Of course, there also were many who were absolutely delighted with the decision and applauded the nations of the Kaddar Region for their decision. These were those who truly hated and despised Ajanta Island and the Floating Sect that defended the island.

Yet there were those who disapproved of the declaration of war. The Floating Sect was a haven for Martial Art, and many who were invested in Martial Art found the decision to be too much. They believed that the Floating Sect was an honored member of the Martial community for serving as a beacon of opportunity to grow stronger as a Martial Artist.

Regardless of the various opinions flying around, none of them could change the outcome. It truly appeared that the Kaddar Treaty Organization was deadset in its intentions to go through with the war. It was clear that something had changed, causing them to gain the confidence to go all out and get rid of the threat and detriment of Ajanta Island to the entirety of the Kaddar Region.

Those that remained often looked to the skies, wondering when the fireworks of Squire-level attacks would begin, and how safe would they be on land as civilians.
