Chapter 1817 Surrender to Walfure While the other regions thought they were at a disadvantage, Walfure was extremely quiet. The scouts of Crimew, Povast, Invank, Legoger, and Antifas stayed at their borders with Walfure en masse, making sure Walfure would be the one to attack them while they were attacked by others. All of them thought they would have a terrible time once Walfure and its soldiers at the Transition Realm and below decided to attack one of them.

However, such a thing didn't happen. During the several months that followed, Vresxiblae, Jutras, Qitanda, and the other regions advanced more and more into their territories. One city after another was lost on all sides with their armies, already somewhat damaged thanks to their attack on Walfure, being wiped out here and there.

Nevertheless, Roan remained steadfast in his orders to not attack anyone. He was waiting for an opportunity first. "The participants can't come out unless they're at serious risk of losing their region. However, there's a big problem. Be it the five regions around us or the regions attacking them, none of them want to risk losing their Space Bending Realm participants. If they do that, they'll be at a disadvantage once they need to fight the participants of deeper regions in this continent."

That was something everyone was having trouble thinking of a solution for. Even if one conquered a region, that would only happen once one pushed it to the edge and got the chance to fight their Space Bending Realm participants. Then again, to defeat them, one would need to use one's own. How many Space Bending Realm participants would fall during that moment?

Olly and the others knew that. "That may be the case, sure. But we can't wait here for the next 190 years. That will only end in everyone's defeat."

Roan nodded, replying, "That's true. That means everyone has only one choice. Force the participants who lost their region under the winner's command. If they do so, they'll still have more Space Bending Realm participants to fight once they attack other regions."

"That's not gonna happen," Luina immediately answered in response. "First of all, you would run the risk of being betrayed by them in the future. If they haven't been killed, that means their continent hasn't lost yet, right? They can wait for the right chance and counterattack from the inside to take control over the power that conquered your region."

"What?!" Everyone in the room was taken aback. "Are you asking Crimew to surrender to us even though they're being attacked by Jutras instead?"

Roan nodded, replying, "Why wouldn't I? That's their best choice, after all."

Leticia didn't think so. "You must be dreaming. It would obviously be better for them to surrender to Jutras in case they lose the Space Bending Realm battles. That way, they could join Jutras and make sure to take us out just like they intended at first."

Rean, who was also listening, immediately shook his head, saying, "Naive. You forgot the main problem of attacking our region. Unless you also have forces with anti-cultivation suppression formation badges, no one can pass through our defenses."

"Isn't that one more reason to ally with another region and increase the attack power? They could use their combined numbers to wear us out," Ramon mentioned.

Neither Rean nor Roan answered, though. Instead, Roan sent out his own orders. "Make sure to attack Crimew Region as soon as our emissary delivers the message. However, I don't want the other armies on the other regions' borders to move. Only the ones at the north are to enter Crimew."

Sure enough, the emissary was received by the participants of Crimew as he went straight to the point. "Surrender to Walfure."
