Rui's expression only grew more severe when Sage Sayfeel mentioned that the Hugging Hegemon had passed away.
Unfortunately, he wasn't truly surprised.
There had been five Martial Sages up against ten.
It would be rather strange if no casualties had occurred in such a lopsided match-up.
Still, that didn't change the fact that the Kandrian Empire had lost a Martial Sage. Not just any Martial Sage, but one of the originals that founded the Martial Union and the Fire Sect.
Not to mention, she was the grandmother of one of his childhood friends.
Each Martial Sage was a national treasure whose very presence produced countless benefits to the nation or organization that they settled in and fought for. And while the Kandrian Empire had many Sages, they needed every single one to win this war.
It was an absolute catastrophe without a shadow of a doubt.
