Chapter 341 - As Long As I Have Full Control
Seeing that the Jialin Representative appeared, the man began to speak.
"I'm Larael Cassen, the Ancestor of Cassen's Royal Family. I came forward with a deal. Your country has already conquered quite a significant part of my own. That should be enough for whatever reason you need it since you said you wouldn't try to take us over completely."
"Let's end it here. I know that you guys are continuing this battle because you also learned about the mineral deposit. We can share that deposit equally between the four countries involved at the moment, 25% for each one, what do you say?"
Kocei narrowed his eyes as he looked behind. Zuan and the other two Saint Realm cultivators couldn't help but agree with that offer. Indeed, 25% wasn't the same as the entire deposit, but they would obtain it without having to risk their armies in this even fight.
In fact, Jialin didn't even know if they had the advantage. They had the communication formations spread on their side of the battlefield. That would indeed be of enormous help during the fight. However, the Cassen Alliance had the terrain advantage and an equal number of cultivators. The area they selected was really not very good for the attackers.
As for Tolak and Rorel Countries, their share would simply change from 33% to 25%. It wouldn't be too much of a difference. Not to mention that they would leave this country without having lost many soldiers. That was a deal that they were more than happy to take.
Kocei then looked behind at the Laan expert, Fuka. The territory they conquered so far was basically their new territory once they joined Jialin. It depended on whether this was enough for them or not.
Kocei then returned to the other three Saint Realm cultivators to talk.
"What do you think? Do any of you think that we can overcome their forces and take the entire deposit?"
Burin was the first one to talk.
"I'm not sure. Even if we can, it will be difficult. To be honest, I think 25% would be a good exchange."
Zuan shook his head in response.
"I think we should try. With the communication system on our side, I believe we can overcome their terrain advantage. An entire deposit is much better than just one-fourth, after all."
Kocei and Fuka, the other two Saint Realm Experts, turned silent. The offer was good, but both of them wanted something more. Jialin Royal Family wanted the deposit. Laan wanted a larger territory since the actual one was only barely enough to stay. However, it was true that they could prevent more losses if they took this offer now.
Back in the Death Unit, everyone was looking at the ancestors in the distance. They also heard the offer from the Cassen Country since Larael didn't try to hide his voice. The opinions all around were mixed. Some would prefer the war to be over so that they wouldn't risk more deaths. Others wanted it to continue since they wanted more merit points to exchange for rewards from the sects.
Suddenly, Roan looked back and narrowed his eyes. In his case, he wanted it to continue so that Calina and the others would have more chances to train. But he felt like the Ancestors would eventually opt for the safer path.
"Illia!"
Calina heard her fake name and immediately stepped forward.
"Yes!"
Roan looked at her before saying.
"You will be taking full control of the Death Unit. This will be your final test, so you better perform it accordingly. Rean will stay here with Kentucky to give you support with strategies. I need to go somewhere else, so I'm not participating this time."
Calina was taken aback. So far, Roan had always been the real commander behind everything. Even when he didn't come together with the group, he would still be the one giving orders from behind. All of Calina's orders were done with the mentality that Roan would be there to fix her errors if things went wrong.
"B-But... What if I make a serious mistake?"
Roan shook his head.
"Is that your resolve? Did you forget what you need to do? Or do you think I'll be able to offer help all the way? Wake up, girl! You will need to do something like this alone sooner or later."
Roan then turned in Rean's direction and sent him a message through their Soul Connection.
'I need to leave before they cancel this war.'
Rean could already imagine what Roan was going to do.
'Can you convince Zuan?'
Roan shook his head.
'I don't know, but I'll try. If you need anything, let me know through the Soul Connection. Make sure those two girls don't die.'
Rean nodded.
'Don't worry. If worse comes to worst, I'll drag both of them into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.'
Roan turned around as soon as he heard that, quickly dashing to the back of the forces where the Ancestors were talking.
Zuan and the others were still talking. However, it was just like Roan predicted. It looked like they were about to accept Cassen's offer.
Suddenly, Zuan received a Spiritual Sense message.
'I'll lead the army. Just tell everyone to follow my orders, and we will crush this defense line.'
Zuan was shocked by those words and immediately looked down. There, he saw Roan coming out of the sea of cultivators while looking at him.
'Brat! What nonsense are you talking about? Let alone that I wouldn't let you do it, do you think the other sect representatives and ancestors would let you lead their armies? Quit dreaming.'
Zuan couldn't tell where Roan's confidence was coming from. However, he didn't consider accepting Roan's idea even for a split second. As impressive as the twins might be, he didn't think that they were this heaven-defying.
However, another person was together with the Saint Realm cultivators and sects' representatives, Kassie. Roan didn't send that Spiritual Sense message to Zuan alone, but her as well. Kassie saw Roan's power in Sisca. Still, she also thought that Sisca and real war were two different things. Yet, she was also curious why Roan seemed that confident.
'Ancestor Zuan, let's at least hear what he has planned.'
Kassie was one of the main strategists in this war, so Zuan still considered her opinions. Nevertheless, he narrowed his eyes.
'Are you serious?'
Kassie nodded.
'There won't be anything wrong with listening to what he has to say, right? Besides, I'm sure Ancestor doesn't want this war to end like this. Perhaps Roan has a way to convince everyone to continue.'
Zuan pondered a bit but nodded in the end. Just hearing a few words would not be a big deal.
'Speak, what do you want to do? Hurry up since it won't take long before everyone decides to give this war up.'
Roan sighed in relief. At least, they were willing to hear what he had to say. The hardest hurdle was now gone.
'This plan goes like this...'
Roan then compiled everything he had in mind and passed it to Kassie and Zuan through a Spiritual Sense Message.
Immediately, Zuan and Kassie looked at Roan with shock in their eyes once again.
'Is that even possible?'
Roan nodded.
'As long as I have full control, there will be no other outcome other than success.'
