Lord of the Truth - Chapter 739: In two months
In the central region—
*Baaam*
“I will kill you!!” General Sully punched Dirit and pinned him to the ship’s wall, then attacked him again
“Take it easy, there must be an explanation!!” General Parrs quickly took a few steps and grabbed Sully from behind, ” There is no reason for brother Dirit to just leave us for death, and he did return to us in the end, let’s just hear him out first.”
“What explanation? He left us in the middle of the battle where we were subjected to a brutal attack from local reinforcements, then he came and ordered a fast retreat, which made us lose many of our good followers. What is he going to say that can make up for all of this?” Sully pushed himself forward to get rid of Parrs’ grip, then pointed towards Generals Molad and Jaike, “Look at their faces, even they don’t know what the hell is going on!”
At this moment, Molad and Jaike were sitting on the side silently, one of them placing both his hands on his head and the other seeming to be holding himself back from crying!
All the losses have not been counted in detail yet, but initial indicators say that they lost more than 50 Martial Emperors and 40 spaceships today… This is a disaster in every sense of the word!!
“This is what you have done to yourselves because you preferred this scoundrel over me. If you had chosen me as the leader of the unified army, we would have been victorious today!”
General Dirit spat out some blood and stood up straight again, “And how exactly did you intend to defeat the 550 Martial Emperors who participated in the battle, Mr. Victor? No, perhaps I should ask what you intended to do against the three giants Treants?”
“…I– I was going to find a solution!” Sully shouted after stuttering for a second, “I would have certainly done a better job than you! Because of you, we suffered huge losses and we couldn’t kill a single Emperor from the locals. You say that you destroyed the Space Portal, oh my joy! Immediately after that, the 400 Emperors moved from the Portal’s site and arrived on the battlefield before you. They surrounded us and killed many of our brothers, That portal was mostly a trap! Damn it, Dirit, even if an ordinary soldier took your place he would have done a better job, I would report your failure to the high command and throw you beyond the sun!”
General Dirit smiled, then snapped his finger, and two people entered carrying a metal plate… Ever since everyone’s eyes fell on the plate, they knew that it was not an ordinary piece of metal. The plate was neither small nor large, it was full of runes that looked like separate letters and numbers, and what was strange was that the plate had its own energy and a special aura!
General Parrs stepped forward, “This aura… I felt it before when I used the space portal in the Poison Rock Planet… The shape of this thing is not strange to me either,” then he opened his eyes to the last of them and looked at Dirit, “Is this the coordinate input panel?!”
Dirit nodded with a smile, “We have been using the Space Portal for ten thousand years and have traveled with it countless times to the middle planetary belt. If we send this tablet to the Space Portal specialists, surely they will be able to know the coordinates the locals used, by then…”
Sully interrupted, “Then the upper management will know that you are crazy and lost almost a quarter of the army for some bullshit! It is just a trivial portal on a trivial young planet. What kind of coordinates will they find, for example? The location of the locals in the northern region? The location of the favorite brothel to the fourth truth chosen?!”
Dirit furrowed his eyebrows but did not say anything. What Sully is saying is not far from the truth. If the coordinates they find are not important enough to compensate for all these losses, his neck will be the price.
General Parrs stared at the tablet, “How… did you manage to take it from them?” This plate is something extremely important, the Overlord told them to die before their coordinate input panel falls into the hands of an enemy!
“We pretended to destroy the portal, it became all dust and lava over there. Hehe. They will not notice the disappearance of such a small piece. They will think that it was destroyed with the rest of the portal.” Dirit laughed maliciously
“Hmph, what a punch of nonsense, those locals most likely doesn’t even now we can retrieve the coordinates, Maybe if you asked nice they might have gave it to you hehe!” Sully stuck out his cleft tongue
“You don’t have to worry about his nonsense, The one who will get rewarded or punished is Dirit alone.” Parrs approached again and stared at the plate excitedly, “Whether he is punished or rewarded in not important, in all cases we will get all the coordinates used by the locals, by then this planet will be ours…”
“…At least pretend you care about my fate.” General Dirit spat sideways
“Huh? Aha, haha, of course, I care. Come on, hurry up and send it to the upper management so you can be rewarded!” Parrs laughed loudly and patted Dirit
Dirit also did not delay. After using the plate to calm their anger, he immediately ordered his deputies to take it themselves to the mother world and return with the results.
Then he returned to the same room to continue the meeting, “Okay then, consider me stepping down from my position until the results come out. What do you want to do now?” This time he seemed comfortable, so he chose a large chair and leaned his head back, being a leader gives a lot of psychological pressure.
“We must forget about the southern region for now. We can win, no doubt, but they require all our strength to deal with them. We must protect our back as well.” General Parrs was clearly thinking about the matter before he asked Dirit, “Shall we go east? Brother Sully managed to hold on there with only half a fleet.”
“You want to go to the east where a damned Master Law user resides? Good luck with that!” General Sully shook his head, “Don’t be fooled by the 70 Emperors that appeared there when I attacked, Today we saw that they are deliberately hiding their strength. Perhaps there are hundreds of Emperors in the east as well, but they are waiting for the right moment to come out.”
“What about the north?” Parrs furrowed his eyebrows
General Molad shook his head, “The investigations we have about the strength of the North say that they are not weaker than the South.”
“…Then all that remains is the West.”
Dirit laughed and sent a look towards Sully but did not speak.
*Crack* Sulley almost crushed his molars
“….” No one else spoke either, but they understood the meaning behind that laugh. From what they had seen so far, the disappearance of half of the Fourteenth Fleet in the Western Region was not a coincidence.
At least they were able to resist and retreat from the east and south, but those who went to the west simply disappeared!
General Jaike finally pulled his head out of his hands, “I don’t want to go anywhere else. We have the entire central region under our control. Let’s just stay here and search for energy pearls.” He was the last general appointed and the least in terms of the number of ships and emperor realm followers, and today he lost more than a quarter of his forces!
“Each of the four regions has a strength equal to the resistance on one of the planets we are currently in was with, and perhaps more, and yet here in the central region, everyone was evacuated upon our arrival…” General Parrs muttered, “…I am beginning to feel that we have taken control of the region Central a little too easily.”
Everyone looked at each other but not in shock. Of course, they had all thought about this point by now, but what should they do with this information?
“We’re five fucking fleets and we can’t do anything!?” *Bam* General Parrs’s voice gradually grew louder until he shouted and General Pars hit the metal table, breaking it, “…Dirit, when will the coordinates come?”
Dirit raised his thin eyebrows slightly and began to calculate, “…it took us a year to arrive to help Brother Seagal because they had to summon us from different planets, and we waited until we gathered and the men and supplies were mobilized. We were also moving slowly because of the size of the fleet and because some of the ships were slower than the others, but if it is a quick round trip to the Poison Rock planet using a correspondence ship, then… I think we will not have to wait more than two months to get a reply.”
