Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 582
Chapter 582: Chapter 368 – Help_2
“My Ximen Clan will provide fifty Dominators, a hundred Throne Strong Individuals, and Transcendent Tier as the other two lords do. As for spirit stones, they will not be provided. The Ximen Clan is relatively poor,”
Seeing the two major lords declare their stance one by one, Samuel Westman also spoke. Then the three of them turned their attention to the seven Sect Heads who had been hesitant about fighting. Now that an alliance has been formed, they hope these seven leaders will reveal their cards.
“Raging Fire Sect will provide ten Dominator powerhouses, fifty Thrones, and a thousand Transcendent Tiers.’ Being watched by people, one of the Sect Leaders spoke first.
Cain Scarlet and the others nodded. The Seven Major Sects were much weaker than the three major lords, so the numbers they were able to provide were quite impressive.
The other six Sect Heads began to declare their position one after another. From the forces each of them contributed, it seemed they genuinely wanted to confront the Demonic Sky Gate together.
At this time, Cain Scarlet stepped out of the hall and coughed: “As we’ve agreed, we will band together and resist the invasive Demonic Sky Gate. You minor sects are not wealthy, but you will also have to contribute. Now let’s start counting!”
“The Cloud Sect has just over 300 individuals. Apart from the two hundred disciples in the myth realm, the remaining two hundred people are willing to fight.”
Everyone looked at each other. But one person stepped forward and said, “Among them, there are thirty Throne Strong Individuals, over a hundred Transcendent Tiers and one Dominator.”
This was not because he was particularly righteous, but that the Demonic Sky Gate was less than a hundred miles from his Sect. If a war broke out, his sect would be the first to suffer. So, unconditional support for the major lords was necessary. The only hope for survival was to trust them.
Many other sects began to chime in. These small forces were indeed downtrodden, but if you added them all up, they formed a considerable power. Just by counting Dominators, there were fifty or sixty more people, and the number of people they provided in the Throne Realm was up to two thousand.
Samuel Westman nodded and said, “This is all the forces combined. As far as I can approximate, our three major lords, plus the seven major sects, and these dozens of small forces, match or even exceed the forces of the Demonic Sky Gate by more than double.”
Tanner Scarlet had previously made it clear that the Demonic Sky Gate only had more than 30,000 people. The three major lords had already produced nearly 20,000 people. This does not even include the Vice Lord and some elders. They would definitely join the war when the time comes.
In the end, they counted up; a total of two hundred Dominators, three thousand Throne Strong Individuals, and a full forty thousand Transcendent Tier cultivators. In terms of numbers, this force was much larger than that of the Demonic Sky Gate, and they even had quite a few semi-saints and quasi-saints on their side.
The only weakness was that they had no Sanctuary Powerhouses. Upon raising this point, everyone fell silent. Even though they outnumbered the enemy, without Sanctuary Powerhouses coming to their aid, the chances of victory in this battle were still not high. A single Sanctuary Powerhouse could determine the outcome of a battle, an amount of people couldn’t compensate for that.
One of the three major lords, Samuel Westman, thought for a while: “If we can’t get help from a Sanctuary Powerhouse, we can join forces with ten people. I don’t believe that ten quasi-saints can’t beat one Sanctuary Powerhouse?”
“I remember, several decades ago, the Demonic Sky Gate also had a large-scale mobilization of troops. At that time, we were not opponents, and even had hundreds of thousands of people die. A great individual from the Saint Sky Sect who was far away came over. Isn’t he a Sanctuary Powerhouse? Maybe if we ask him, everything can be resolved.”
Cain Scarlet pondered for a long time and suddenly had an idea: “Everyone think about it, Demonic Sky Gate goes along the Demon Path, while Saint Sky Sect goes along the opposite, the Righteous Path. They have naturally inhibited each other. In the face of the expansionist war of Demonic Sky Gate, Saint Sky Sect definitely cannot sit back.”
“How did we forget this!” Sandy Wexler is cheerful with a smile, “This can work. Although separated by ten thousand miles, as long as one Dominator is sent, a round trip can be completed within a day.”
Once the cultivation reaches the level of the Dominator, you can fly across vast distances. Even if separated by tens of millions of miles, at most it shouldn’t take more than a day to arrive.
“What if Saint Sky Sect doesn’t help?” Although others thought it was feasible, they had to prepare for the worst. After all, why should Saint Sky Sect help people with no rhyme or reason? Moreover, there were tens of millions of miles between the two sides. Even if the Demonic Sky Gate expanded, it would not cause any harm to Saint Sky Sect.
“He will definitely come, because once the Demonic Sky Gate rises, it’s the Saint Sky Sect who will suffer. He had expended great effort then to relegate Demonic Sky Gate to a desolate, uninhabited area. The two sides have had an unextinguishable feud for over a hundred years.”
On one hand stands the orthodox path, while on the other, the Demon Path. We three lords manage the three cities, ostensibly just to keep the Demonic Sky Gate in check. The reason why no powers from the Central State have come here for so many years is simply that this place is too remote and has the existence of the Demonic Sky Gate.
“Who should we send?” Since the decision has been made to seek help, there is no one who has a relationship with Saint Sky Sect. Anyone we send may not necessarily gain entrance into the Saint Sky Sect.
Sandy Wexler thought for a moment, then looked at the Scarlet Clan leader, “You have a relationship with the Saint Sky Sect, didn’t someone from your clan get to know the Saint Sky Sect and visit the Saint Sky Sect in Central State?”
“It’s Vice Lord Amilia Scarlet, but it could only be considered as a mere acquaintance. After all, so many years have passed and I don’t know if the elder at the Saint Sky Sect has forgotten her,” replied Cain Scarlet.
Cain Scarlet looked at Amilia Scarlet, and suggested, “Why don’t you make the trip? Besides, your Half-step Saint Seat level allows you to halve the time required for round-trip travel compared to a Strong Dominator.”
“Alright, undebatable.” Initially, Amilia Scarlet didn’t want to accept it. After all, the pressure was too great, but no one else was more suitable.
Before leaving, Cain Scarlet heavily patted Amilia Scarlet’s shoulder: “Everything depends on you, but you must also ensure your own safety. If the Saint Sky Sect is unwilling to help, come back, and we will discuss together. Do not take risks by yourself; the Scarlet Clan cannot do without you.”
“Leader, I understand,” Amilia Scarlet smiled. “An old man like me should do something for the Scarlet Clan.”
A round trip would take a day. She must succeed on this trip. If she returned unsuccessful, there would be no chance to visit Central State again. The Demonic Sky Gate would act within one or two days. She wasn’t a fool and knew very well how tense the current situation was.
Sandy Wexler also walked over and bowed his hand in reverence: “Every member of the Scarlet Clan has courage. My Wexler Clan admires that. If we can survive this crisis caused by the Demonic Sky Gate, we will live in peace.”
“Hopefully,” Amilia Scarlet left. The hall quietened down as the three lords and seven major sects could not be certain of the outcome. They could only wait in silence.
Sandy Wexler approached Logan and asked curiously, “Didn’t you leave? Why are you back? Do you also want to partake in the dispute with Demonic Sky Gate?”
“Training,” Logan replied. A cultivator can only be tempered by experiences. He would better improve himself by joining the struggle against the Demonic Sky Gate, a major sect, rather than fighting against the demon beasts in the mountains.
“If there are enough Spirit Stones, can the Spirit Gathering Array be recreated?” Sandy Wexler asked after some hesitation. Logan paused for a moment before understanding his idea of countering the Demonic Sky Gate using Logan’s array, which he had used to break the City-protecting Array.
Logan shook his head, stating firmly: “An array cannot be moved, and a Sanctuary Powerhouse can come and go without a trace. Even if an array has the power to rival a Sanctuary Powerhouse, how can it keep them from moving?”
Even the most powerful strike is useless if it doesn’t hit. Therefore, Sandy Wexler’s thinking was too simplistic. The Sanctuary Powerhouse and the City-protecting Array are two different concepts.
Logan could set up a Barrier Array, just like the one that trapped the Heavenly Saint Daoist and Beast King before. However, such an array would not have any attack power and he could not control two arrays at the same time with his current spiritual power.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to allow the Beast King and the Heavenly Saint Daoist to perish together. If Logan had set up the Spirit Gathering Array, wouldn’t it have solved the problem once and for all? In fact, Logan currently does not have the ability to challenge a Sanctuary Powerhouse, but it isn’t difficult for him to safely get away.
Sandy Wexler gave a bitter smile, realizing that he was being too optimistic: “It seems that without a Sanctuary Powerhouse, this battle is destined to be tragic. The chances of victory are slim.”
Logan did not respond, because the fact was as such. Everyone is just like ants in the eyes of a Sanctuary Powerhouse who, in turn, is one of the few strongest existences.
