Lord of the Truth

719  Portals

”Tsk~ Itʼs really annoying to use a law of gravity on a planet like this.” General Sully leaned his halberd on his shoulder, then continued with an angry face, ”But to give my local and even a human like you such audacity to destroy one of my properties is a strange thing. What should I do with you now? Skin you alive or keep you prisoner and throw you into the Cave of Despair later?”

”Who said that my audacity came from my strength alone? You are not the only one with an army!” Jabba laughed and then raised his hand in a gesture

General Sully furrowed his eyebrows, He was just raising his voice a little for his soldiers to hear, he definitely did not expect this local to understand what he was saying, and even respond to him in the language of the Great Serpent Empire!!

Details of the language of the Great Serpent Empire were one of the things that Jabba spent a lot of money on to buy from the Burton family merchants after the Shadow Swords had spent a long time gathering its details. The General however did not have time to comprehend or to ask about what was going on, as in the next moment the most bizarre thing in the world started happening

*Bzzzzzzzzzztt*

*Bzzzztt* *Bzzzztt* *Bzzzztt*

One instant teleportation portal after another began to appear under the fleet!

”Are those… Fucking space portals? Why the hell does this wasteland have space portals?!” General Sully turned around as he watched the portals open one after another, quickly reaching a total of eight gates, six of them side by side on the ground and two opened in the sky!

”Whatʼs going on here, Bandal? Didnʼt you say itʼs a primitive planet? Do space portals look primitive to you?!” The General shouted to Bandal, who was still standing next to him

”I- I donʼt know either!” Bandal took two steps back and spoke hesitantly. He knew exactly what these portals meant

”I canʼt believe I almost took a worthless thing like you in, I will deal with you later!!” The General pushed him hard enough to make him full on his back and then turned to look at the portals angrily

In fact, space portals are not a strange thing for them, as they are one of the gifts the Overlord had given to the Empire ten thousand years ago, but nevertheless, they still continue to use and develop their spacecraft fleet for two reasons:

The first reason is that they need to search for other planets that have life. The Overlord said clearly that he would not bring them the coordinates of any other planet after they took control of their second one, and without coordinates, they could not make use of the space portals... The second and most important reason is that space portals are expensive to operate. Even if they find a good planet, they cannot just use the portals, as transporting the army may cost more than what they gain from that planet.

When the Overlord taught them to make the portal, he told them that it should be primarily used to take the energy pearl payments to him once every few years, and if they have to use it otherwise, then they need to leave it as a last option because of its high cost and use it just to send a small elite squad to subjugate an important zone or something like that... Their space portal is considered one of the final weapons of the Great Serpent Empire and its most important secrets that enabled them to conquer several planets, it is something that is not supposed to exist in the young planetary belt!

And now he discovered that there are eight portals here?! Where did this hammer user come from and what is happening here?!

Wait... Did the hammer wielder thank him for landing here? Does this mean he was waiting for him? ....Does this mean heʼs really a local?

These locals are using space portals while they came in damned ships?!

”Hoo!” ”Hoo!”

Rows upon rows of soldiers armed with divine weapons began to emerge from the portals in an orderly manner. Some had long limbs, some were huge in size, some were too short, and some were just humans. The soldiers differed in size and characteristics greatly, even more so than the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire, but they came out in extreme discipline and in large numbers. Also, a number of large earth beasts came out with them carrying supplies and serving as temporary headquarters, it was clear that this was not a division but an integrated army, and more were still coming out!

As for the two portals of the sky, swarms of Draco beasts emerged from them, one after the other, each of them carrying three archers on its back holding divine bows.

The composition of the sectʼs army did not differ much from the composition of the army of the True Beginning Empire during the invasion of Greenland. After all, Jabba was the commander of the Sixth Army at that time and had great experience with this formation.

”These numbers... MY MONEY!!!” The General placed his free hand on his head as the number exiting the portal quickly reached a few thousand, ”You wasteful bastards! You wasteful bastards! ARGHH, my precious pearls!!!!”

General Sully couldnʼt take it anymore so he raised his halberd, ”Attack! Kill them all! Destroy these portals before they wipe out the planetʼs entire stock of energy pearls!!!”

*baam* *baam* *baam*

The spacecraft directed their cannons at the new arrivals and began firing. Each shot could kill a saint or seriously injure a sage, yet not even a scratch was found on any of the sectʼs soldiers.

Spacecraft cannons are one of the designs provided to them by the Overlord as well, and they are stronger or weaker depending on the amount of energy that is provided to them, but of course not much is provided to them because they swallow energy if even the opportunity, so they are usually intended for destroying cities and dispersing crowds, or providing fire cover in open battles, but it is sure not so weak that it does not affect anyone in an open battle like this!!

General Sully furrowed his eyebrows upon seeing this. It was clear that the enemyʼs individual strength was much greater than he had imagined, their armor and shields were extraordinary too...

 But he did not come here to be surprised or retreat!!

He raised his hand and made another signal, ”Move your asses! Kill them all!!”

*swoosh* *swoosh*

The spacecraft doors opened and large numbers of soldiers began to exit, all wearing shining silver armor and their helmets designed to take the shape of a snakeʼs head.

The soldiers of the Great Snake Empire tried to fly from the beginning and rain down attacks on the soldiers on the ground, but they soon learned why all of their enemies were on the ground. After trying to stay afloat for a few seconds, they all fell to the ground as well like meteorites.

Except for fifty individuals, those managed to stay afloat.
