Lord of the Truth - Chapter 736: Sudden attack

Southern Region– Winter Eagle City

The Winter Eagle City is one of the cities belonging to the giant race, or more precisely, belonging to the scum of the giant race…

Just a small city that is always in danger since it is close to the Great Line with the central region, that is not mentioning the freezing weather in this area most of the year, because of this the large giants’ tribes ignored it and it soon became inhabited by criminals and bandits. Poverty, disease, and crime became the main headline here, with the passing of the days everyone in the southern region forgot about it completely and just thought of it as a large open prison

A few years ago, hundreds of black-masked individuals came to the city at night and slaughtered everyone. Since that day, it had become a refuge for the Shadow Swords in the Southern Region. Then they brought in the Rune Masters and Divine Blacksmiths to set up a Space Portal here and make it the permanent headquarters of the True Beginning Empire.

“Arrrgh!! That suicidal bastard– Arrghgh!!!”

“Damn it, I almost had him!”

“Stop talking and focus on recovering!”

The city is currently filled with domes of green energy, and in each dome, only one person sits… These were the Martial Emperors injured in the battle.

Whenever one of them gets injured on the battlefield they are drawn back to this city to receive treatment in their own field hospital array, and another Martial Emperor would be sent to continue the battle in his stead.

So far, 20 Martial Emperors have been seriously injured, and all of them are sitting under 20 separate domes, screaming in pain, or sitting in a meditative position, some of them were even explaining to their mates what is currently happening on the front and about the strength of their opponents.

Around those domes, there were a decent number of individuals walking around freely collecting information from the injured. Some were demi-humans and some were pure humans. From their haughty appearance and the careless way they wore their armor, it was clear that they were Martial Emperors as well.

But that look of condescension and relaxed stance immediately vanished when a person dressed in black appeared over the city, “We have detected a new case of injury, The replacement operation is currently being prepared. Please come with me, Emperor Filain of the Kingdom of the Plains. It is your turn to join the battle.”

“Yes!” That emperor immediately gave the military salute and flew behind the shadow sword with respect, while the rest of the emperors returned to breathing again…

Being emperors didn’t make them forget what it means to stand before an emperor from the Shadow Sword Forces, that secret organization that works directly for His Highness Prince Theo, an organization that no one knows the number of its members or how it is spread. There are only very few things everyone knows, one is that the senior officers in this organization are members of the Burton family and that all members of the organization took a severe oath that almost made them abandon their humanity…

The Emperors of Greenland and the Orphan Blood knew very well that they could mess with the main army of the True Beginning Empire and could even speak to the likes of Elizabeth, Gu, and the rest of the commanders easily, but with the Martial Emperors of the Shadow Swords there was no talking, there was only respect and fear.

“Hey brother, hasn’t His Excellency said anything about that purple cloud yet?” One of the emperors from Greenland inside the dome asked in pain, 3 of his fingers were missing due to one of those clouds.

The brother he called was a sword shadow in Sagehood Domain, who responded in a modified voice: “His Excellency naturally knows about the purple cloud, he is telling you to hold on until he finds a solution.”

“Haha, as long as His Excellency works on the matter, it is finished!” The Emperor laughed out loud, part of him was happy that His Excellency knew of his pain, and the other part was happy that the Shadow Sword responded to him.

Then that emperor returned to looking at a few emperors standing on the edge of his green dome, “I don’t want you to be afraid of that cloud, guys. Just always put a distance between you and your opponent when you feel that you are about to win. His Excellency has provided us with the best weapons and techniques. There is no need to be afraid of a few Damn reptiles!”

One of the demi-humans hissed, not liking the words

“Ahaha, you know I don’t mean you, Brother Lizard, I love you!” That emperor laughed sheepishly, then opened his mouth to continue, “—

*Vroom*

*swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh*

“Wh- what the hell is going on?!” At this moment, dozens of spaceships appeared above the city

“What brings them here? Isn’t this a safe zone?!”

*Boom*

All ships fired their cannons at the same time

“Hmph, you overestimate yourselves!”

Everyone in the city was Martial Emperors, and even the injured ones were able to quickly dodge the attacks or simply block them

The Emperor of the Shadow Swords came out again and announced loudly, “New mission, fend off the enemies until support arrives, General Descartes and General Snawist are on their way here.”

“Fend off the enemies? I will take down those bastards myself!!” One Martial Emperor after the other shot upward, ignoring cannon shots and strong gravity

After a large number of the tribes of the Orphan Blood Planet submitted to the True Beginning Empire and received Perfect techniques for the Laws, they witnessed an increase in the number of Emperors. Over the past few years, the total number has reached roughly 190.

As for Greenland, their situation was even better. After all, most of the geniuses on Planet Orphan Blood were killed, while Greenland still maintained a strong infrastructure. So, after establishing the Four Kingdoms and subjugating the geniuses of the rest of the tribes with oath tablets, the number of emperors during those years reached 350 or so, with the number still increasing

This means that in addition to the 150 Emperors currently fighting at the Great Line, there are 400 here waiting for their turn!!

“Haha, you saved us the trip!!”

*Boom* *Baam*

120 space warships armed with thousands of cannons couldn’t handle a single round. Immediately, 7 ships fell while the rest of them began to collapse left and right.

It was clear that the enemy generals were in shock at the number of Emperors present there, which delayed their reaction, but it did not last long. The doors of the spaceships opened and 300 Martial Emperors descended from them.

*Boom* *Boom* “Die!!”

At first glance, the observer would think that the forces of Greenland and Orphan’s Blood would prevail due to their numbers, but the quality was overwhelming in favor of the fleets of the Great Serpent Empire, as there were a large number of them in middle level martial emperors!

“Hmm?” The large, random fight did not happen as everyone expected.

The 300 Emperor Invaders gathered to make a large formation, then they rushed towards the metal arch in the middle of the city… They rushed towards the space portal!

“What are these idiots doing? Kill them all!!” The Emperors of Orphan Blood and Greenland began sending attacks from all directions on their enemies

Even if the difference in levels between them was large, receiving this kind of damage was not something they could ignore. In the first round, 9 Emperors of the invaders fell to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were still dead or alive.

But the rest still continued on their way toward the unprotected space portal.
