Lord of the Truth

766  Wall

*Rumble* *Rumble*

It can be said that the skies of Nihari have never witnessed a battle like this.

400 Martial Emperors from the Great Serpent Empireʼs side, against 700 Martial Emperors from the True Beginning Empire, started a random clash... The purpose was not to gain a strategic area or steal something. The True Beginning Empireʼs attack on their stronghold in this way was clear from the start that it was a life or death fight.

However, not a single Martial Emperor has died yet.

Their numbers, the purity of the laws and their variety, the strength of the weapons, and the factor of the arrays all gave great weight to the balance of the True Beginning Emperors, but there was one differentiating factor that caused this apparent balance: The Great Serpent Emperors had a number of mid-level Martial Emperors, while the Beginning Emperors had none, all of them were newly ascended Martial Emperors...

This was not strange, the likes of Alexander and Victoria who had reached the pinnacle of talent for an ordinary human had reached level 44, and even Raiden, who had transcended the limits of human affinity with the heavenly laws, had entered level 45 at the same time as Caesar just recently! What about the rest of the army? Most of them are still at level 41.

If it werenʼt for all the other advantages on their side, the True Beginning Martial Emperors would have been overwhelmed even with the surprise attack precedence.

Also, the Martial Emperors were not the only ones in the cityʼs skies...

”Ready…” The captain of the Eleventh Space Ship of the Twenty-Seventh Fleet shouted, drenched in sweat.

The front of the ship opened and a huge serpent shaped cannon appeared, aiming at the nearest Martial Emperor wearing gold and black armor. Then hundreds of smaller cannons came out from the sides of the space ship and automatically took all the enemy emperors as their targets, and then, ”Fire!!” The captain gave orders.

*BAAAAAM*

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

The main cannon fired an extremely intense blue beam. This single shot drew the energy of 700 pearls at the same time, giving it enormous destructive power.

Before they came to Nihari, cannons with this amount of power had never been tested, but they were still designs that came to them from the Overlord and had the ability to launch devastating attacks. There is no doubt that this shot would be powerful enough to wipe out hundreds of sages in an instant, and it certainly has enough power to kill a Martial Emperor!

The smaller cannons, which numbered in the hundreds, also fired profusely in every direction. Although they knew very well that these shots were designed to deal with infantry in large-scale battles and not people within the scope of a Martial Emperor, this heavy firing would at least distract the enemiesʼ attention and make them make mistakes.

However...

The emperors treated those shots from the side cannons as if they were flies. No one turned around or tried to defend against him. They just let them hit them and disintegrate.

”Hmph!” As for that emperor wearing the black-gold armor, he did not panic or try to escape in the face of them bleu beam, he just took a defensive position and held his position.

*Tshhhh*

The blue beam struck the True Beginning soldier directly until it stopped on its own, and when the attack ended, the captain saw the Martial Emperor cracking his neck right and left as if nothing had happened... Here the advantage of the black-gold armor fully revealed itself.

Then that Martial Emperor laughed out loud and rushed towards them, holding a golden sword in an attack position.

”Keeeh!!” The captain took a few steps back and shouted, ”Load the main cannon again! Load the--!!!”

*Boom*

The True Begning Empireʼs soldier broke through the barrel of the main cannon and attacked the ship from the inside.

The spaceships of the Great Serpent Empire were not designed to confront attacks by Emperors for a long time, but rather to transport soldiers between Planets, provide cover fire in battles against large armies, and maybe to escape quickly if necessary, and they were certainly not designed to deal with a Martial Emperor attack from within!

So no need to say, in just a minute:

*Boom*

The ship exploded from the middle and turned into rubble, along with all the thousands of soldiers on it... And not just that ship. The sky of the city was not devoid of debris and the blood and flesh of scattered soldiers, even for a moment. In the battle that began barely ten minutes ago, several ships were destroyed.

When Sully saw what was happening at the top, the whites in his eyes turned red from extreme anger and pressure, but he knew very well that he could not help at the top, so he directed his anger at Flora, who was standing in front of him.

”All ships, retreat! Move the soldiers to a safe place before coming back for us!!” Dirit shouted loudly, These soldiers and ships are useless in a fight of this level, but that does not mean that he can let them die aimlessly!!

”If I were you, I would focus on me!” Alexander felt insulted that his opponent had a chance to catch his breath and speak, so he immediately took out an array from his ring.

...At the top, everyone heard the cry of Generals Dirit. It is customary for the commanders of his ships to confirm such an order with him again, and for the ships of the rest of the fleets to ignore his orders since he is not their commander.

But today: ”Start the engines!!” All ships of all fleets converted power from cannons to propulsion engines.

”Wait! Donʼt leave us here!!” A number of soldiers who were unable to board one of the ships shouted from below. The presence of small insects like them in a battle between emperors of this size did not make any sense. They would be killed by a random attack without contributing anything.

*vroooom*

But the spaceships did not stop and did not land. They all rushed in different directions. Only in this way would they make sure that the largest number of them would survive and would not be targeted.

But at this moment something strange happened:

*baam* *baam* *baam*

The soldiers on all the ships found themselves dashing forward suddenly colliding with the first thing they found on their way... It is clear from what happened that the ship suddenly stopped, and not just stopped, but the front of the ship collided with something!

”Wh-- What the hell happened? Why could we collide in mid-air? Did the command crew go blind and crash into a mountain?!”

”Damn, is one of the enemy martial emperors blocking our way?”

”What can a single Martial Emperor do?! Letʼs go down and fight!”

Every crew and the soldiers of each ship thought they were the only ones being stopped, so they opened the door in mid-air, preparing to fight whoever stopped them, ”...Whatʼs going on here?” But they found the rest of the ships standing around them in the middle of the air as well, in the form of a wide circle

”Iʼll try something.” The captain of one of the ships moved the ship back a little and then rushed forward again

*Pzzzzzz*

Again the ship stopped, but this time everyone saw what happened... It hit something like a giant energy wall, and the resulting shock waves moved along the wall for a distance that they did not see the end of.

”Look below!” One of the soldiers pointed directly under the ships, and they found the ranks of the Terra Beasts Battalion

Then they saw the beast riders returning their gazes with a provoking half-smile as they pointed their spears upwards.

*Boom*
