Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 339 - Continue

The reason Rean asked that was that Kentucky's ability should not be revealed. Mia wasn't an idiot, so she knew how to act.

'Alright, Rean. Tell me everything you know at the moment.'

Rean nodded and explained what he knew to Mia and Droman.

Mia wasn't sad that they would need to share the deposit with the Royal Family, the Sects, and the Laan experts. After all, Heaven Level materials were worth a lot to the point that even shared amounts are worth acquiring. Besides, wars were incredibly costly for countries. The rewards of the new territory would take a very long time to make up for the loss. Those Heaven Level Ores would help a lot in that case.

Mia left not long after talking to Rean. A few moments later, Droman also bid his farewell and returned to his place. Rean smiled and also left the area, going back to the newly conquered region.

'It's done. Mia went to talk with the other leaders about this Heaven Level deposit. I just hope she doesn't reveal anything about Kentucky.'

Roan shook his head.

'There is no need to worry. Mia can simply state that her spies found this information, and none of them would be able to do anything about it. In fact, they won't care how she found this information either. Once they heard that a Heaven Level Ore Deposit was located, they will immediately switch their attention to securing it.'

Rean nodded.

'That's good. I just hope to get some of it so I can feed Kentucky.'

'That shouldn't be a problem. Knowing how Mia acts, she'll probably give you another 50% of what the sect acquires. Of course, considering the share between all the powers in this war, the amount will probably be smaller than the time we found the Luminun Ore deposit.'

Rean didn't mind that.

'Anyway, why do I feel like everyone is tense?'

Roan then passed Rean a bunch of documents with information inside.

'It seems like Cassen's King convinced the two countries behind it to offer support during this war. Several units with cultivation ranging from Foundation Establishment to the Core and Soul Fusion Realm are coming now.'

Rean was taken aback.

'Isn't that bad? We won't be able to advance anymore if the difference in numbers is that big.'

Roan nodded.

'Indeed. After 10 months of war, we have acquired quite a significant part of their territory. Although it couldn't be compared to the Sects or Royal Family ones, it is still enough for the Laan experts to build their home. That being said, there's a good chance that Jialin will stop this war right here.'

Rean narrowed his eyes. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to acquire the ore deposit. Naturally, there would be no food for Kentucky.

Roan could tell what Rean was thinking.

'Don't worry, this is just a possibility. Didn't Mia leave straight away when you told her about this information? Chances are that Jialin will try to at least reach the ore deposit before calling this war.'

Roan was right. Right now, Mia was talking with the leaders participating in this war against Cassen.

"Heaven Level Ores! Are you sure about that?"

Mia shrugged her shoulders.

"How can I be? This is just something that my Dalamu Sect spies found. However, they haven't seen it by themselves. However, it is most likely true."

Burin looked at Mia and Zuan, who was beside her.

"How can you be so sure about that?"

Mia then explained.

"Simple. Didn't we just receive a report that Tolak and Rorel joined in an alliance with Cassen to help hold us back? Don't you think it would be too weird? We didn't get even close to conquering enough territory to force those two countries to move. Even if Cassen's King paid them, that shouldn't be enough for them to move. Only in a case where the benefits were enormous would it be worth risking the lives of their forces."

Everyone in the room soon became pensive.

Sure enough, they knew about the income help. After all, there was no way such a huge amount of cultivators would appear on Cassen's side without being noticed.

"That makes sense. We were all puzzled as to why those two countries decided to help out of nowhere. However, as good as Heaven Level materials are, would it be enough to make those two countries move? After all, it's not like they can't get these kinds of metals as long as they are willing to pay the price. Their overall force should be more important than the deposit."

Everyone agreed with that as well. However, it was then that Rago from the Rohe Sect said.

"In that case, it can only mean two things. One, this deposit is so big that those countries think that it is worth a shot. Or two, there is High, or Peak Level Heaven Materials there. I personally feel like it's the first option."

Everyone agreed with Rago. Indeed, for it to be worth a country's mobilization, the reward must be big enough.

"Alright. At first, we were discussing whether we should continue this war or not. After all, the addition of those two countries' armies was out of our calculations at this point. However, I believe all of you don't want to give up this deposit anymore, right? After all, if Cassen can mobilize two allies, this deposit is bound to be worth it."

Roan was right. They were really considering stopping this war. Kentucky's findings overturned the situation.

"Those who agree to continue in securing the deposit, raise your hands."

Mia and Zuan immediately raised their hands. Not long after, Umbral Sect did the same. Rohe, Lagan, and Laskil quickly followed. In the end, only the Laan experts remained.

"Could it be that the ore deposit doesn't attract your interest?"

Fuka shook his head.

"That's not it. It's just that back in Laan City, we had access to quite a few pieces of equipment at the Heaven Level. It's quite weird to have to fight for it now."

When the Laan experts were teleported outside the city, their equipment didn't come with them. The Artifact Spirit had retrieved everything. After all, they didn't win those things. They were given by the Artifact Spirit itself.

Eventually, Fuka and Nefere raised their hands.

"Alright. We'll need to get a few weapons for us as well, so we agree."

With that, the continuation of the war was set in stone.
