Chapter 482
Noah's worries weren't groundless .
The three big nations weren't powerful just in name: They controlled almost the entirety of the continent and had the highest share of heroic cultivators .
Also, their areas of influence featured spies or soldiers, especially in those dire times .
After the Coral archipelago obtained its independence, many other nations had begun to strive for the same goal, the only weakness of the big nations had been revealed after all .
That forced the hand of the big nations, they redirected part of their power to suppress and manage the revolts happening everywhere in their domains .
Of course, special attention was given to anything concerning the Hive .
That organization was backed by a rank 6 existence and was formed by the joint power of forces that had freely ruled on the islands for many years, it could be said that the Hive was the strongest organization of the continent after the three big nation .
Also, their peculiar geographical position and the copying technique made those islands virtually unbreachable, having such solid defenses would surely lead to a stable growth .
That's why the three big nations had silently decided to focus on their attempts to create footholds on the continent .
The only weakness that the archipelago had was the need for connections with the mainland to secure a constant stream of cultivation resources, their encampments in specific nations were somewhat expected .
The big nations knew that it would have been impossible to send spies to the archipelago, every recruit would be forced to swear an oath of some sort before being teleported there .
Yet, that didn't prevent those spies from sending reports before officially joining the Hive .
It was enough to mask them as cultivators who had barely managed to escape from an area of influence to make them the perfect target of the Hive which desperately needed manpower .
Just like that, by sacrificing weak cultivators, the three big nations managed to receive a decent stream of information concerning the encampments of the Hive .
Of course, the Hive had expected that something like that would happen but it wasn't too interested in it as long as it continued to increase its human assets, even a spy was just another pawn in its grasp after it swore an oath .
What it didn't expect was that such an approach would have ultimately put Noah in danger .
In the Utra nation, inside a dark basement that seemed to be used as a prison, a few hours after Noah had left the encampment near the mountain chain to reach the Granite Abyss .
A middle-aged man sat on the floor, runes shone over his skin, they affected the area around him with their brilliance and absorbed "Breath" from the matter that surrounded his figure .
The floor and the walls around him seemed to age as he cultivated, that process clearly showed that he was a cultivator in the heroic ranks .
Then, footsteps resounded in the basement, Thaddeus Elbas appeared from the stairs connected to the upper floors .
He was wearing his usual smile but traces of coldness could be seen in his eyes as he began to speak .
"Evan, are you enjoying the new horizons that the Royal family has opened for you?"
