Lord of the Truth

Chapter 860: Mind games

General Harosʼ escape was not the end of that day, but its beginning...

After a few minutes of King Volpeʼs anger and screaming, he returned to the barracks from which the ten ships had emerged and began to attack everything relentlessly

*Boom* *Boom*

A short while later, all eight of King Volpeʼs aides returned and crossed the abyss once more and disappeared behind the snowstorms. Not much time passed before a loud sound was heard that resounded throughout the planet

*Boohooooo0*

*Boohoo000000*

As the war horns spread, the Lightning and Wind Martial Emperors returned to Old Guʼs side, and right after them, Sandria landed lightly in front of Old Gu, this time showing a confident smile and placing her hands behind her back: ”I informed my father about the shortage of soldiers on the Great Serpent Empireʼs side and he decided to declare a state of alert for the army. Everyone is now mobilizing to reclaim what is ours... You have no problem with that, right?”

”Of course not, this is a natural reaction from a wise king, it is your territory and it must be returned to your control as soon as possible!” Old Man Gu laughed gently, but his smile soon faded a little and he stared into the girlʼs eyes, ”But I am afraid I need to ask for some time with His Majesty as soon as possible, we have come from far away to help as you can see.”

Sandria slightly furrowed her furry eyebrows, she knew she was dealing with an old fox in human clothing... Old Man Guʼs manner was clear, we came in peace, but I will not allow ourselves to be marginalized.

Sandria nodded, ”I, the mediator of the Three-Tailed Fox Devos, and the only daughter of His Majesty King Volpe, will entertain you until my father prepares to meet with you, is that good enough?”

”Hehe, good enough, good enough!” Old Man Gu rubbed both his hands together, of course, he had no problem.

He came here for two missions... The first was to help the locals prevail and liberate their lands, and for some reason, this was much easier than he expected and there were no casualties, most likely the reason was the Great Serpent Empireʼs attack on Jura, Greenland, and Orphan Blood Planets, and this was something that His Excellency and the Shadow Swords did not know about, which is why they sent 200 Martial Emperors here...

The second task is to establish good relations with them, he just has to be a little strict so they donʼt get treated weakly and everything will be fine.

”We have an understanding then, please wait a bit I have sent to bring a number of coats made of Arctic rhinoceros seal skin so you can reach the other side, these fancy metal armors will only make things worse for you.” Sandria pointed to the other side of the abyss with a smile, what happens next will be important for whatever conversations will take place between these strangers and her father.

The southern hemisphere of the planet is so cold that only minimal signs of life are allowed, even those who carry the blood of the three-tailed fox doofus in their bodies and are covered in a thick layer of fur have to wear heavy clothing made of the skins and fur of certain beasts!

This was one of the main reasons that prevented the Great Serpent Empireʼs army from holding any land on the other side... Every now and then, whenever a new fleet came to them, they would advance and push the White Fox Tribeʼs army back and control a large piece of land, but the extremely bad weather conditions made them lose it quickly and return to the other half.

Not only that, but the battles that take place daily near the abyss are due to the half-snakes trying to steal ice from the other side so that they can withstand the high heat!

And the fact that these humans stand in this heat with all ease... This means that they have some kind of mutation and tend to be hot-blooded, right?

When those bald humans step on the other side and lose the ability to stand up straight, they will know the difference between them and be polite in future discussions.

”Haha, you are such a sweet little lady, this old man is very grateful,” Old Man Gu clapped with a smile, then shook his head, ”But you donʼt need to tire yourself out, dear, we can take care of ourselves. Come on, lead the way.”

”....” Sandria looked at Old Man Gu and the rest of the humans behind him for a long time, then sighed and shrugged, ”I advised you, but then again you are free to do as you please, letʼs go!” *Shhhh*

Old Man Gu laughed secretly, he knew what the girl was thinking of course, then motioned for the rest of the young men around him to follow him.

His old heart started to jump a little excitedly.

Meanwhile--- Orphan Blood Planet

*Clatter* *Clatter*

”Heyyaaa!!”

”How did you know our escape route?!”

”You bastards dare to attack the Lightning Bull Tribe? Youʼre dead!!”

”Kill them all!!”

*Vrooooom*

While the battle was raging in a barren land hidden within the valleys, a space warship appeared that was larger than the rest and had a different appearance.

The shipʼs door opened and a serious-looking demi-human, with a large body and a square face, came out. The man looked down at the ongoing battle, took a deep breath, and spoke in a voice that everyone heard.

”Local Aru, I know youʼre with them down there. Itʼs over. Surrender to the new reality and live as a loyal servant to a being greater than you and all of us.”

”Huh, let me think.” The answer came quickly. A handsome young man appeared in front of him with two thick horns and long white hair. The young man laughed and looked down. ”Lightning Bulls, do you want to be loyal servants?”

”No!” The answer came in unison.

”Well, I tried.” Aru shrugged with a laugh, then gripped his spear tightly and struck forward.

*Kachaaa*
