Rean just observed everything as Calina slowly but surely wiped out all of their forces with each move she made. Her opponents used every second they had to think of a way out, but in the end, it was useless. Finally, it reached a point where Via, Dillo, and the others simply couldn't retaliate anymore. From there on, it was a downwards slope until the last piece was taken away. The game was over with Calina's overwhelming victory.

"Well, then. I guess I won against all of you at the same time. As proud members of the five sects and royal family, you won't be going back on your promise, right?"

Via and the others had ugly expressions. The higher one's cultivation was, the more they cared about face. Losing to Calina was already terrible enough, considering that they were all thinking together. However, it would be even worse if these Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts decided to not uphold their part of the deal.

"Hmph! This old man has never gone back on his word in his life. However, if I see that you are bringing my Unit to a death trap, I will immediately take the command back."

"Same here. I don't know where you learned to play like this, but it shows that your commanding skill isn't too bad. I'll be watching what you'll do from now on."

The other leaders also said their pieces, but Calina didn't care that much.

"Fine by me. Who would willingly throw themselves at the enemies without thinking? Don't worry, you just need to learn what I'm going to teach you during the rest of the day."

Calina then looked at Welloi and the others. Obviously, they watched the game and sighed in relief after she won.

"Welloi, Salatis, Juka, Zouei, and Verder. Take control of the units, as Roan mentioned before. We are going to start training them on the cutting edge formation. We already spent an hour on this game, so we don't have much time."

With that, the elite units were quickly divided into six groups. Calina knew that it would be impossible to train everyone well enough with the limited time. Still, she could at least bring it up to a basic level.

Roan looked from far away and noticed how the six elite teams began to position themselves for the formation.

'She was quite fast. I guess there is no need to intervene in the end.'

Roan then focused on the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

'Sister Orb, how is the analysis?'

[It's going well.]

'Will you finish in time?'

[Yes. It was made in a hurry, so it is easy to find the flaws to take control of it. It should be ready by tomorrow when the battle starts.]

Roan nodded once again, satisfied.

With everything in place, time began to pass as training continued.

Of course, Cassen Country wasn't just staying there doing nothing. As Roan's army practiced their formations, they also increased the defenses on their side.

Cassen had selected an elevated area that was easier to defend. There, they built several walls, holes, traps, etc.

"Faster, faster! I want those spikes all in place before noon!"

"37th to 82nd Units, step forward to test the defense!"

"What are these guys doing?! Are they trying to kill me out of anger? Tell those idiots to bring more weapons right now! We need as many replacements as possible!"

The strategists of both sides looked as both countries prepared their armies. Because of the lack of time, neither side could care about looking for a hiding place to train them. Everything was being made on the spot.

Roan's Spiritual Sense couldn't reach that far, so he had Ancestor Zuan's help with this. Zuan kept his Spiritual Sense over the entire enemy's defense line, telling Roan of every single change. Roan then thought about how it would affect the actual formation and made the necessary arrangements.

Still, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

'The majority haven't participated in wars before. Because of that, they aren't used to formations. First of all, formations aren't that famous between cultivators due to their individual strength. I'm not sure if they will be able to reach the most basic level to fight tomorrow.'

There was one good thing, though. Cultivators could replace sleeping with Spiritual Energy. It wasn't as good as a good night's rest, but it wouldn't be a problem if it was done only once. That being said, Roan and Calina continued their army training during the night as well.

Torches and other light sources were lit up as they illuminated both sides of the battlefield. Several screams and shouts kept coming from both sides without stop all night long. The sound of several cultivators' skills echoed throughout the area for everyone to hear.

Deep into the night, Roan looked at the sky with a pensive expression. Finally, he reached a decision.

'This should be enough.'

He looked at the army and then at Kassie.

'Tell everyone to sit down and meditate. Make sure there are enough Spirit Stones for them to recover. The battle will start when the sun completely appears in the sky.'

Kassie sighed in relief before giving everyone the order to stop and recuperate. However, she was satisfied. In the end, Roan was still able to make these groups reach a basic understanding of the formations he explained to her.

"All Units, stop! Sit down and meditate! The supporters will give you Spirit Stones for your recovery. If there is anyone with some serious injuries, immediately inform us so we can help you recover."

*Crash!*

As soon as those words came out, everyone fell to the ground. Roan didn't hold back at all, so everyone was tired to the bone. If this wasn't the cultivation world, wishing this army to start battling just a few hours later would be a ridiculous thought.

The cultivators quickly received the Spirit Stones and used their energies to recover their fatigue. Unfortunately, there was one guy that couldn't rest yet.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.'

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.'

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.'

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery...'

Rean flashed everywhere, healing everyone who got injured during the battle.

'Fuck this shit! I won't even be able to stand up later if I continue like this.'

Roan didn't care.

'Stop complaining. Just use the Light Element to recover yourself if you get tired. You better make everyone get back to their peak condition if you want this battle to go as smooth as possible.'

'Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite simple for you to say that when you just have to float in the air looking around, right?'

'Oh! Is that so? Then why don't we change sides? I'll stay with Calina and protect her. You will lead the army during the war. How about that?'

Rean looked away and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

'Today is such a beautiful night, don't you think? Let's not get angry over details. Don't worry. Everyone will be healed in time.'

Roan snorted after hearing that but didn't say anything else.

Eventually, the sun came out, and everyone finished recovering their energy. It was time to start.
