Lord of the Truth

Chapter 983: Laugh

A thousand miles away from what used to be the military square of the Great Serpent Empireʼs imperial capital--

”...Ohh, This is bad.” A pale figure with cracked skin muttered in a serious tone, holding something like a lens in front of his left eye while covering the other, and looking in a certain direction.

”New reinforcements?!” Another figure quickly stepped forward beside him, it was the newly promoted Marshal, Harus.

”Take a look for yourself.” The observant figure passed the lens to the Marshal.

The personʼs manner didnʼt seem to be subordinate to the Marshal, and his aura didnʼt seem much weaker either, he was the twenty-first son of Pythor, and this magnifying glass was actually a semi-epic item that he had managed to obtain by chance from the corpse in the middle planetary belt!

Marshal Haros quickly put the lens on his left eye and then started moving very slowly until he finally managed to find the huge palace, then he went down a little to watch what was happening in the military square...

A short while ago, two reinforcement batches arrived, each consisting of tens of thousands of soldiers and dozens of martial emperors and even the terrifying warlords came along, after the reinforcement arrived at the square, they were coordinated and then sent back away, their spies said that this reinforcement appeared east in the battle against the beast and the situation had become worse there, Durger The Devourer and his army waer currently being crammed with all these successive reinforcements!

At this moment, indeed new reinforcements were coming out that were exactly the same as the previous two batches, 30 thousand soldiers, 30 martial emperors, and two warlords!

”Is this the kind of division that should move together?”

”How exactly many divisions of this type do they have?”

”What should we do now?!”

Under pressure from the Imperial Guards around him, Harus removed the lens from his eye and gritted his teeth tightly, ”Damn it, we still underestimate the True Beginning Empire until this moment!”

”YOU are the one underestimating them!” Old Marshal Snite pointed at his colleague and shouted at him angrily, ”I told you that we should keep coming back to tire them out and kill those infantry as much as we can, but you insisted that you have a plan to get rid of them all at once using the beasts, what do you think now? More and more enemies are pouring into our home planet without any sign of a stop!!”

Previously, with one look in Robinʼs eyes, Harus was certain that it was impossible to win and close that portal, so he decided to flee the palace immediately.

He then stopped the rest of the Imperial Guards from heading to the square and joining the battle and used them to open a way for Marshal Snite and the rest of the Imperial Guards trapped in the battle of the military square to escape.

In front of someone who had deserted the battle but returned to save his life, Marshal Snite didnʼt know how to react, so he held back his anger and remained silent. As for the Imperial Guards who had managed to escape from the grip of the Warlords, they breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Harus warmly, and they automatically felt that they had to listen to him. Then came his plan... Provoking Druger The Devourer by making him think The Great Serpent Empire was starting a war against him, so he would start directing his destructive beast wave that would annihilate the soldiers of the True Beginning Empire in a big battle or force them to withdraw from the planet, while he would take the opportunity to attack the array network around the palace to destroy it and seize the space portal again to summon support from Nihari.

Haros took into account in his plan the fact that Druger The Devourer was easy to provoke and had experienced wars against them many times, and that the Emperor of the True Beginning was definitely busy in Nihari and with attacking the rest of their planets -since they had the audacity to invade the Poison Rock itself- so their remaining number of soldiers was definitely small.

The plan was simple and practical, in Harosʼs view it was impossible for the forces of the True Beginning Empire to achieve victory against the hordes of Druger The Devourer, and at the same time they would not fear the destruction of the planet since the forces of the True Beginning Empire had already done that, what could go wrong?

But in reality, two things happened that had not crossed his mind.

The first is that for some reason, Druger The Devourer stopped his army as soon as he met Caesar and his men, and the second is that the True Beginning Empire is still receiving reinforcements non-stop!

”How was I supposed to know that Druger The Devourer who acts like a god in front of us would become a worm when he meets the black Flames and the Warlords?!” Harus shouted at his colleague.

”Humph, heʼs a beast king, do you think heʼs stupid? Of course when he saw the soldiers of the True Beginning Empire he immediately knew that our attack on him was a ploy to clash with that new army and thus refused to play along, otherwise he and the Nine Tyrants would have wiped the ground with those handful of soldiers and torn the Warlords apart!”

Snite waved and gave Harus his back then found a rock to sit on, ”The only reason Druger The Devourer is still crouching where he is now and not returning back to his hole is because he wants to gauge the strength of the new intruders, he wants to know whatʼs going on in his world!”

Then Snite nonchalantly pointed in the direction of the palace, ”Now not only do we have a beast king on the loose seeking to explore, but the True Beginning Empire has started sending out batches of soldiers, instead of just dealing with the invading army, we now have to deal with the beast army and the endless reinforcements from the damned Golden Wearers!” ”Youʼre telling me this now as if you could have predicted the way that damned worm would think, or predicted the size of the True Beginning Empireʼs army!” Harus shouted angrily, ”I told everyone here about the plan and they agreed, and you remained silent, why are you so smart with the predictions now?! Either participate in the preparations or donʼt open your mouth at all!”

”Enough!” The twenty-first son of Pythor was not pleased with what was happening, ”Our father favored you Marshals over us for your intelligence, experience, and strength, he gave you a blood supply and position above us all, is this how marshals act in times of setback? Find solutions or I will take your place as a temporary commander until you calm down!” ”Humph, there are not many options here.” Snait rested his chin on his palm, ”We do not know what Durger The Devourer is thinking now, or whether he will advance or retreat after seeing all those reinforcements, and we do not know how many more will come out of that portal, if we remain silent waiting for a move from Durger The Devourer, we will all die inevitably.”

”...Damn it!” Harus gritted his fangs then returned to put the lens and looked towards the palace in the hope of finding any loophole to take advantage of, but he found something

strange.

”....!!!” Next to the space portal, he saw the Planetary Emperor Robin Burton sitting in a meditation position as he had been doing for the past two days.

But this time, Robin opened his eyes and looked directly at him, laughing.
