The Martial Unity

"Target distance is approximately fifteen thousand kilometers."

"Increasing precision factor by about forty percent."

As the Martial forces of the Sekigahara Confederate continued toward the Kandrian Empire, the teams and divisions assigned to the operation of each Apocalypse-Class and Calamity-class siege weapon continued to adjust the parameters of the powerful weapons to suit the distance of their targets.

The closer they got to the Kandrian Empire, the more precisely and accurately they were targeted. They would face more power and experience greater resistance as a result. They would have to rely more on evading rather than defending, for the power and destruction would be in excess of even Martial Sages.

Eventually, they would reach a point where they had to be actually stopped, for any closer and their attacks would be able to reach the Kandrian Empire.

"That is when Their Sagehoods will engage with the enemies," Master Sera calmly remarked aloud. "We will engage with the enemy Martial Master when they're poised to reach a distance of a thousand kilometers from the border of the Kandrian Empire. We head out the moment the long-range surveillance division of the Kandrian Border Patrol Force tells us to. So remain on stand-by."

The Master-level interception force grew ever more tense as they waited for the signal to come. War was soon to grace them.

However they weren't going to be the first to have a chance.

VMMMmmm…

It was a sign. A sign that none of them failed to understand.

Neither the Kandrians nor the Sekigaharans.

Far away from the battlefield, the Martial Sages of the Sekigahara Confederate grinned with excitement and battlelust.

Silence overtook the battlefield in the absence of the onslaughts from the siege weapons.

Yet, it was merely the calm before the storm.

"Here they come…" The leader of the Sekigaharan Martial force smiled softly as his powerful senses detected the incoming forces. "Masters of the Sekigahara Confederate, it is time to circle around and continue your journey to the Kandrian Empire. We will hold them back and ensure they don't turn their power against you."

He turned, eying all of them. "We Martial Sages will join you after we have defeated our counterparts, once and for all."

A hundred and ten Martial Masters nodded as bloodlust flashed in their eyes. They took off to the sides, trying to get as far away from the region that was soon to become the battleground for Martial Sages of two Sage-level powerhouses.

Nine Martial Sages stood.

They waited.

Until they no longer had to.

BOOOOOOM!!!

A devastating attack of heaven and earth crashed into them, threatening to destroy them where they stood.

Alas, the Martial Sages of the Sekigahara Confederate were not done in so easily.

WHOOSH!

The leader at the forefront of his peers exerted himself as he activated a breathing technique, suppressing the flush of power that surged toward them with ease.

"Impatient as ever…" He smiled. "Damian."

In the blink of an eye, a fist surged towards him, barely giving him time to block it.

BOOOOOM!!!

The sheer power of the attack released a tide of seismic energy that uprooted all land within thousands of kilometers. Yet, it didn't so much as perturb either of them.

"Shinken." Sage Damian grinned with a wild smile. "Today, we will settle once and for all…"

His eyes flared with bloodlust. "Which one of us is the strongest!"

Sage Shinken smiled with an amused expression. "Do you intend to fight all nine of us all by yourself? Where are your friends? I've missed them, you see."

"Heh!" Sage Damian's grin only widened with anticipation. "Let me introduce you to my friends. Say hello."

WHOOSH!

Sage Shinken's eyes widened as eight more Martial Sages emerged from behind him.

It wasn't their numbers that shocked him.

No.

What shocked him was their identities.

"You…" His eyes swept across the Martial Sages that reinforced Sage Damian.

A single question escaped him.

"Who the fuck are you guys???"

He stared at all the newly arrived Martial Sages with an aghast expression. He didn't recognize most of them.

After all, most of the seven Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire had been out of commission for many years and even decades. It was no wonder that the Martial Sage of the Shinken Clan hadn't the faintest clue who most of them were. The only one he did recognize was the Underworld Sage, Sage Aggragor, who stood poised with a deeply unwilling expression as he faced off against the Martial Sages of the Sekigahara Confederate.

The others, however, he didn't Sage Damian only grew more gleeful as he beheld Sage Shinken's confusion.

Yet, he didn't permit it to linger.

BOOOOOM!!!

A second blow surged forward at extraordinary velocities, sending ripples through space and time. Sage Shinken gritted his teeth as he barely managed to block it in time, caught off-guard by the revelation of the Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire.

"You don't have time to focus on them, Shinken." Sage Damian's expression steeled with malevolent bloodlust. "Your opponent is me and only me."

Sage Shinken's eyes flared with chilling peril.

"So be it." A whisper escaped him. "I will show you that you are not my equal. His Realms of power revved to top gear.

"You never were."

BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

A horrifying wave of power erupted from their battle, threatening to deteriorate the local tectonic plate they occupied.

Heaven and earth screamed under the astronomical weight of the onslaught that the two peak Martial Sages unleashed upon the world.

They were forces of nature unto themselves.

The battle between the two strongest Martial Sages of their respective nations created a maelstrom of power so enormous that even the other Martial Sages flinched, stepping away to a different region in the blink of an eye.

They merely exchanged a single glance before all hell broke loose.

BOOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOM!!!

The newest Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire leaped into action, racing after targeted opponents. Each of them had been briefed on the Martial Sages of all three powerhouses. They knew which Martial Sages they had the best synergy and combination against, and they deliberately avoided Martial Sages they knew that they were not suited to perform against.
