Strategic Revelation

"…Is probably what the Sekigahara Confederate is thinking at the moment."

A wide smile appeared on the face of the Prime Minister of the Britannian Empire.

He was pleased.

Things had been going according to plan.

As he had anticipated, the Republic of Gorteau and the Sekigahara Confederate eventually reached their limits and headed down the path of war. 

What he didn't expect was for it to happen so soon.

He had thought it would take a year.

"Rael…" His gaze sharpened ever so slightly. "To think you had accumulated so many treasures. No wonder you are so confident walking into war."

He didn't expect there to be more to his rival's arsenal of treasures than just the mass breakthroughs and the massive successes with the Beast Domain.

He certainly didn't expect the Kandrian Empire to demonstrate hyper-accelerated growth for its Martial Artists, or for them to be able to heal formerly crippled Martial Sages.
