Lord of the Truth

677  Siege without soldiers

The entire Northern Region fell into deep silence again, their preparations for war were like a bubble that suddenly exploded into nothingness...

Giants usually do not do anything that requires manual labor themselves, anything that requires effort other than cultivation is done by slaves from other intelligent beings, and all of those slaves end up dead within a short period of time due to mistreatment.

For this reason, the number of settlements of the other intelligent beings is very large as they need them in abundance. In the northern region, if the settlement reaches a certain population, they kill a number of them by using the demons or they send them to the restaurants of intelligent beings, or they would divide them and send half to establish a new settlement somewhere else so that they can better control over them, and this made all the cities of the giants submerged in huge numbers of settlements

The peace that the Nihari giants had enjoyed in the northern region completely collapsed that day and without any major wars, by now they did not know whether provoking the human settlements was the right decision or not.

...After the appearance of those armies and the announcement of support for human settlements, all the giantsʼ armies stopped. Every tribal leader tried to assess the situation, send more reconnaissance teams, and communicate with the rest of the tribal leaders to form a united front against this madness.

But one tribe did not stop its army, the Dariki Giants tribe.

The leader of that tribe became angry when he heard the reports of the armies in the nearby settlements, but he did not take the time to think rationally. In an instant, he divided his army into twenty sections, with each section headed by a Martial Emperor, and then sent them towards the twenty nearest settlements with an order to level them to the ground.

A massive fight raged that day. The entire army of the Northern Tribes was armed with divine weapons and had the best techniques left behind by the first and second Heavenʼs Chosen, with all of this was on the one hand, and the presence of a Martial Emperor on their side was on the other hand.

But all this was not enough to capture the meager settlements as quickly as they expected.

Although the settlements have almost no walls to protect them, they have the Sky Shield Dome that Robin personally designed, and although they lack emperors, they have a huge amount of golden divine weapons, which they use simultaneously to force the enemy Martial Emperor to retreat, and as for the techniques and weapons of the Giant Clan army. Dariki, how do they compare to Robinʼs techniques, weapons, and instant arrays?

Twenty different fronts opened that day and all of them had reached balance. The Dariki Giantsʼ armies were unable to penetrate the settlements, and the settlements were unable to force them to retreat due to the presence of a Martial Emperor among them.

But the fighting did not last long either.

While the Dariki Giantsʼ armies were trying to invade those twenty settlements, the rest of the settlements in the area, numbering more than forty settlements, gathered and headed towards the capital of the Dariki Giants tribe!

One of the females of the Dariki Giants tribe said a phrase that day and the rest echoed it. She said: She feels that her city is a big piece of candy and that settlements are like ants that want to pounce on it.

In fact, the description was not very far from reality. The unified army made up of forty colonies from 13 different races, covered the blue color of the ground. If one of the Giantsʼ children had thrown a pebble from the top of the wall, it would certainly have fallen on top of the head of one of the soldiers below.

The leader of the Dariki Giants tribe panicked and wanted to summon his armies abroad, but whenever he sent a Draco beast or any type of small bird to deliver the message, it was immediately shot down, meaning he was completely cut off from the outside world.

Although there are still seven declared Martial Emperors inside the capital and 18 hidden ones if a battle were to start here and in front of these numbers, the city would certainly be destroyed, so the leader of the Dariki Giants tribe tried to communicate with the leaders of this army of *fellow intelligent races* but they did not respond to him.

The strangest thing is that they did not attack either, they just remained standing where they were.

In the end, the twenty armies learned what was happening in their capital, so they retreated in panic, hoping to save what could be saved. However, they found their capital intact and did not find a trace of the united army of intelligent beings, They all retreated before the army of giants arrived.

That kind of excessive force and very precise planning and execution terrified the tribeʼs leader and even the rest of the Martial Emperors of the tribe. They thought they were a group of mice happy with some technique they had found by chance, but this level of coordination among them clearly suggested the presence of a leader.

A Leader that if he wanted to destroy the capital of the Dariki Giants tribe, he would have done it so!

Thatʼs why the tribeʼs leader ignored all the voices calling for revenge for this insult and remained silent. It was said that his features looked as if they had aged a thousand years during those few days.

Taking revenge on whom exactly?!

What happened reached the ears of the rest of the giant tribes as well, which made them breathe a sigh of relief that they did not send their armies abroad before gathering enough information. They also began, for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, to strengthen their cities with defenses and collect supplies in preparation for a long war, as none of them had any intent to go out and fight in this sea of enemies...

Even if their Martial Emperors had enough power to go out on their own and crush those settlements, who could say that the settlements didnʼt have Emperors as well? Who are those who are destroying the Azil tribe now, are they not said to be human Martial Emperors?!

In terms of numbers, the Intelligent Races Alliance wins sweepingly, in terms of weaponry, they have perfect law techniques and the golden weapons, and in terms of high-end experts, they have an unknown number of Martial Emperors... Everyone who has authority in the Nihari Giantsʼ Tribes felt his head melt!!

The period of accumulation of supplies and deadly silence lasted for about six months. None of the giants were allowed to leave any city without escorts, which restricted the economic movement of the giants of the entire northern region and plunged it into extreme poverty. In return, other intelligent beings took control of the mining, agricultural, and other strategic zones, they also began to form a road network between them to speed up the movement of goods and support at any time, they seemed to be ignoring the existence of the cities of the giants among them!!

The leaders of the Giant tribes were being pressured day and night to take the decision to advance and trample those settlements, but none of the leaders wanted to repeat the experience of the Dariki tribe, and they certainly did not want to repeat the tragic experience of the Azil tribe. So they remained inside their cities and tried to send envoys to see the requests of these strong slaves, but all the envoys were being rejected and forced to return, which caused more anxiety for the giant tribes. Until this moment, they did not know what they were facing and WHY!!

But this isolation finally ended, as the Ashera Giants tribe announced that they had succeeded in communicating with them.
