Lord of the Truth

Chapter 721  The local army

”This is bad!” One of the sect elders revolted when he noticed the enemy Sages approaching the portals, and unconsciously rushed toward them

”Where are you going?” General Sully laughed and lowered his halberd

”...!!” That elder was a level 42 Emperor, yet when he saw that simple attack coming he stiffened in place, he felt death approaching!

*Baam*

The elder felt a huge explosion and was sent flying tens of meters back when he finally stopped he rushed to see the damage to his body, he found that he was completely fine!

”Sect Master!!” The elder shouted. He realized what happened. Sect Master Jabba appeared in front of him and stopped the attack... and it was clear that he was not left unscaled.

”...” Jabbaʼs hands shook violently and he found it difficult to control them, then he looked back at the General... This was his second exchange with General Sully and he was defeated in both, if not for his strong body he would have been severely injured by nor... The difference between levels 45 and 47 was not something that could be crossed easily.

Then Jabba smiled as he looked at the general, ”Why the rush, Elder? Let us stay here and watch our enemiesʼ plans be crushed. There is nothing better than seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the arrogant!”

General Sully furrowed his eyebrows slightly, not knowing the source of this confidence, as the situation near the portals was inevitable... The problem that faced his soldiers at the beginning was the resistance of the opponent and the strong formation, but this collapsed after the bold plan they followed, Once the portals are controlled and the locals are surrounded from behind, the battle will end.

No, the whole war will end! Immediately after victory in the ground battle, the army and ships will come to besiege the local Martial Emperors and kill them quickly. Whether or not control of the entire eastern region today is literally dependent on the success of this assured plan!

When he heard the sound of screams of pain coming from the direction of the portals, the general turned towards them again to watch his soldiers slaughtering everyone who came out of the portals and taking control of their surroundings, but he saw the opposite: his soldiers who penetrated the formations and arrived near the portals were all killed by the soldiers wearing the golden and black armor.

”What?!” The general shouted, the ones with the golden and black armor actually stayed behind, but their numbers were small in relation to the overall picture, about a thousand soldiers in total, and they did not participate in the battle so they were ignored, but at this moment they spread out behind the army and around the portals!

”Haha, I paid 100,000 energy pearls for each piece of that armor, and all the members of this squad have strength at the peak level of Sage and are armed with all possible talismans and combat arrays. I also paid an additional 50,000 for each one so that they can go to the central region and participate in the training war against your Martial Emperors over there, if you want to pass them, youʼll have to go yourself, hahaha.” Jabba laughed proudly. Buying these armor at their exorbitant price made his stomach ache, but seeing them in battle made up for everything.

”A hundred--- a hundred thousand what?” The General forgot about his dead elite and looked back at Jabba in shock, then started pointing toward the armor, ”This? 100 thousand energy pearls a piece? This one over there..?!”

”.....” Jabba furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head towards Orzon, ”See? He seems to think weʼve been scammed too.”

Orzon quickly waved, ”No, no, heʼs surprised how something so great can be sold for only 100,000 energy pearls.”

”...” General Sully looked at the armor with shaking eyes and an open mouth, then without saying a word, he picked up his halberd and flew towards the portals!

”Where do you think are you going?!” Jabba swooped forward with his hammer

”Stop!!” One of the officers of the Fourteenth Fleet attacked Jabba, but one of the sect elders confronted him

In the blink of an eye, the sky was also set on fire as a battle broke out between 50 commanders of the Fourteenth Fleet against 70 sect elders.

”Fuck off!!” General Sully stopped midway and waved the halberd at Jabba

*Swoosh* Jabba used reverse gravity to quickly move out of the way of the attack, then with another push, Jabba closed the distance between himself and his opponent and brought the hammer down on his head.

*Clank*

The general raised his halberd and repelled the attack, but contrary to what he expected, he was not able to repel it easily. Rather, he felt his body sinking down quickly!

*Boom*

”Cough Cough” The general found himself in a deep hole on the ground, Then he stared into Jabbaʼs eyes, who was now a few meters away from him, angrily, ”What physical strength, you have a way to strengthen the body here? Also... You used the path of gravity to increase the weight of your physical strikes? Your strategy is not bad at all, local, this might actually cause some inconvenience.”

”Iʼm honored, Mr. Occupier.” Jabba laughed with a confident smile, ”How about we act as sensible commanders and watch from the side? What will our soldiers say about us if we fight from the start like this? What is the use of armies then? Or do you not trust your army?”

Before the general responded, he sent a glance to the side...

The ground battle has become almost equal.

An ordinary earthly battle... A multi-planetary imperial army against a damned local army... And they are equal!!

It is true that ground battles have almost been forgotten since all the Empireʼs soldiers now are at least saints and can fly, but the best ground battle tactics gathered from 9 planets are still taught in military academies to open the horizons of officers, Even if they have not experienced these ground battles before, they still have knowledge of these things much higher than a local army!!

The situation on the two flanks of the army is good, as the two legions are making significant progress in front of the local army. It is not the expected rapid progress, but it is reasonable. However, the situation is very dangerous for the legion in the middle, which has been besieged and is being attacked from three sides at the same time... The soldiers of the two legions on the outskirts are trained well, they will find an opportunity to circumvent and break the siege on the middle legions eventually, but this will take some time and many losses will have already occurred.

More importantly, the portals are still spitting out soldiers with every passing moment and it is no longer possible to destroy or besiege them after the soldiers in the black and gold armor demonstrated their strength. If they continue to come out at this pace, then by the time the Middle Legionʼs siege is lifted, all three legions will be surrounded!
