Strategic Considerations

The preparations for the final battle into the very center of the Beast Domain soon commenced as the Martial Sages accepted his decision without much of a fuss. Aside from Damian, none of them were particularly eager to jump into the center of the Beast Domain without adequate preparation.

What commenced was extensive planning.

In a large open gathering, Rui stood before all the Martial Sages. Some were seated on the ground, others sat on rocks, while many were content simply standing further back. They gathered with their respective groups and nations, but the lines were more blurred than before. 

Many of these Sages, who were once sworn enemies, had grown less confrontational and hostile with each other. Martial Sages of the Kandrian Empire found themselves sitting next to those from the Republic of Gorteau, Britannian Empire, and the Sekigahara Confederate.
