Lord of the Truth

Chapter 779: The forgotten general

*Baam* *Baam* *Baam*

The ships began spitting out soldiers one by one at an incredible pace. Within a few minutes, their numbers approached two million strong, and they already took up the ground battle formations!

”Advance, open those damn walls!!” A high-ranking officer shouted, part of the army began to move, and then the rest followed, all of them approaching the city quickly.

Currently, there was nothing outside the city except the 10,000 Tera Beasts that made up the energy walls with their bone crown. If that army reached them and struck them from behind, the wall would fall and the siege would be over!

”This is bad!” When Zara realized the intention of the Great Snake Empire army, she jumped from beside her father and headed towards the city immediately, perhaps she could stop them for a while.

As for Robin, he remained standing where he was. It seemed as if he did not hear Zara, but rather it seemed as if he did not see what was happening below...

His face was still fixed on the Battle of the Emperors above the city, it seemed that he was watching the battle, but his eyes were not following any specific fight... He was just absent minded.

”Advance! Advance--....!!”

The officer who stepped forward when duty called and took over the reins of the ground forces, found his head rolling on the ground next to his body.

”Whatʼs going on?! ARGHH!!”

”The shadows are moving! The shadows are moving!!”

And he was not alone, everyone who took a leadership role or wore a slightly different uniform than the rest was targeted.

There are only a few hundred of the Shadow Swords left, and among them, there are only 10 Emperors, their only mission is to increase the survival chances of the soldiers of the True Beginning Empire inside the city, but if the barrier is destroyed and the siege is lifted, everything will collapse.

If these walls fall, the enemy soldiers inside will be able to spread out freely and destroy the Great Heaven Sealing Array from below, then surround and eliminate the 15 Warlords and 250 Martial Emperors above them, and then they will unite with the rest of the other forces and launch a massive attack, or simply leave for a strategically better location for them!

So even though Robin did not issue any orders, the Shadow Swords left their duties, drew their blades, and began targeting any officer they came across.

”Stop where you are!!” Zara came charging in with unstoppable momentum

*Boom* *Boom*

Even if she specialized in the Life Path, as a Level 44 Martial Empress no one could stop her, the path from her father to the Earth Seal Array had turned into a path of blood!

Then she stood a few steps away from the Terra beastsʼ wall and clapped loudly *PAA* *Hmmmm~~*

Green energy began to pour out as the ocean, some of it slipped into the array directly behind her, some of it was absorbed underground, and some of it was engulfed in one of the giant rocks nearby.

*Crack* *Crack*

After a few seconds, the energy in the array began to gather and it spat out a 10-meter giant bird made entirely of pure energy. Then the ground split open and a huge snake emerged made of roots, and even the giant rock began to shatter internally until it took the form of a golem and began moving while the ground shook under its feet with every step!

”What the hell are those?!” The soldiers in the front rows looked at the three monsters with fear, their oppressive aura suggesting that each one of them had the strength of a Mid-Level Martial Emperor!!

”ROAAAAR!” The three monsters shouted a war cry, then attacked in three different directions

*Baam* *Baam* *Boom*

One of the officers stood on top of a ship and shouted with all his might when he saw the advance had slowed, ”Donʼt stop, itʼs only three of them and they canʼt stop us! Keep moving towards the energy walls! Keep moving--” But he couldnʼt keep his head long enough to finish the sentence.

”Hmmm!!!” The Rock Giant let out a muffled shout and then jumped into the crowd of enemies again

”ARRGAAH!!”

Although they could not use the fourth level of laws, their strength was unstoppable, and their bodies remained resilient after receiving large numbers of attacks, they did not hesitate or take pity in making large-scale attacks to kill as many opponents as possible. Those things that live using life energy are not directly under Zaraʼs control like puppets, but rather like anyone else, they have a physical body and have a soul force that they derive from Zara. Therefore, until the supply of life energy is cut off, they are independent living beings, but because they do not have a primal soul, there is nothing in their heads other than the order given to them, and if this order is *Kill* or *Stop*, they will do anything just to carry out that order.

The War Beast ability is Zaraʼs answer to how to use her pacifist path in war, but it is a personal answer for her alone, as each one created has high demands on the soul force, and only Zara has enough soul force to fuel more than one War Beast. This is also why no Life Corps Martial Emperor participated in todayʼs battle...

The Shadow Swords immediately began coordinating with the three giants, hunting down anyone who tried to target them from behind or anyone who seemed dangerous or of a high rank, while they left the intimidation and indiscriminate killing to them.

...A few steps away from the array, Zaraʼs forehead was filled with sweat.

Giving life to three Mid-level Martial Emperor giants and distributing her soul force to them was stressful enough, but it still seemed not enough!

”Advance! Advance!!”

As the officer shouted a moment ago said; the energy walls were wrapping the entire city and covering an enormous area, it was not something that three huge Martial Emperors could

defend.

Within a few minutes, the three giants killed thousands of enemies, and the pathway toward the energy walls was destroyed in many ways. If it were not for the three of them, the enemy army would have already reached the energy walls and crushed the 10 thousand Terra Beasts from behind by now... However, she knew that this would not last long, The three giants were facing 2 million soldiers with experience in planetary wars!

”Haa... Haa...” She opened her eyes with difficulty, sweat seeping through them as she saw her three giants being slowly obliterated under the tide of the Snake Empireʼs soldiers that seemed to never end, then she sent a look back...

The battle of the Terra Legion against the soldiers of the Five Fleets is going well. The battle began with 190,000 of the Terra Legion against 340,000 soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire. Now the numbers have reached roughly 170,000 against 200,000... This means that the Terra Legion has lost 20,000 to kill 140,000 enemies!

They are fighting the forces of a planetary empire that has expanded for thousands of years, in front of them soldiers outnumbering them, armed with equipment on the same level as golden weapons and using a Minor Law from the Destruction Path... And yet they seem as if they are bullying a bunch of locals!!

What happens in the ground battle is a crushing victory for the Terra Corps, and if the battle continues, they will gain a numerical advantage very soon, and the death rate will decrease

even more.

If half of those Terra forces came out, with the support of the Three Giants and the Shadow Swords, they would be able to stop the coming tide, but the number of deaths inside and outside would be enormous.

Her father seems as if his consciousness has left his body, and Caesar and the rest inside are busy fighting life or death. There is no one but her to make this decision that will cost the lives of tens of thousands of the Terra Legion.

Zara clenched her hands tightly and looked at the ground, then shouted with determination:

”Soldiers of the--!”

*Bzzzzzztt*

But she did not finish her shout before the space was violently disturbed, twenty Instant Space Portals opened around the city at this moment.

*Baaam* *Baaam* *Baaam*

From each of them emerged a warlord, and behind him were thousands of golden armored

soldiers.
