Lord of the Truth

Chapter 924: Bad news -2

”....?!” Pythor and Snight looked at General Harus with raised eyebrows and open mouths, the information he said was not immediately digested by them, ”What do you mean by the True Beginning Empire in Gudah? Which Planet Gudah?”

”What?! How many planets do we have that are called Gudah?!” General Harus shouted, ”A few days ago, a warship of ours penetrated the atmosphere of Planet Gudah, and those who descended from it were 100 crimson creatures that were over three meters long with horns, and with them were 100 humans wearing black gold armor, all martial emperors!”

”W-- What?!” Marshal Snite felt his world crumble,

The specifications that Harus is talking about are undoubtedly the soldiers of the True Beginning Empire, especially the demons, they just heard about them from the soldiers who returned from the Orphan Blood War, thatʼs enough to prove Harusʼ claim!

”...!!” Pythor slowly stood up, ”They have the audacity and most importantly, enough troops, to send 200 Martial Emperors to Planet Gudah, Why?!”

”To deal us a severe blow of course, what else is worse than missing up with our most important planet?” Marshal Snight clutched his fists, ”It seems they have a good way of extracting information, otherwise they wouldnʼt know what Planet Gudah means to us.ʼ ”How did they get to Planet Gudah? Where did they get the coordinates from?!” First General Harus asked quickly, ”I thought that only generals and pilots knew this information and they are all trained to receive the most severe types of torture, how did they get this information out of them?!”

”How did they even fly the ships? Itʼs very complicated because they use space law in their work, and every pilot takes at least ten years to fly one of those!”

”How is it possible that they have a huge army on the Orphan Blood Planet and now they have 200 martial emperors in Joda? What exactly is happening in this war?!” Pythor is still not convinced

General Harus and Marshal Snight went silent, each of the three of them trying to find answers to the othersʼ questions in their own minds first

... Planet Gudah is teeming with an abundance of fire and ice treasures that are the most sought after in the middle planetary belt because they are linked to countless major and minor heavenly laws, It has the expensive fire and ice energy pearls, and on top of that, the people of the planet themselves, especially the male red humans or female demi-foxes, are considered high-priced slaves.

In addition to that, they have an overlord and a space portal, they cannot leave them for a long time to regain their strength, otherwise, a planetary empire may emerge from there that threatens their interests and becomes their mortal enemy!

And the worst thing for Marshal Snight... The planet he spent hundreds of years trying to refine, his only chance to prolong his life, has fallen so easily?!

Thinking about it, the Marshal shouted angrily, ”We canʼt allow this arrogance, how dare they think of touching what is ours?! Even wars have regulations!!”

”...Didnʼt we do it first?” General Harus couldnʼt help but break his train of thought when he heard this nonsense

”Silence!!” Just when Snight was about to respond, Pythor shouted at him, then took a few steps away from his throne.

”...Sending a large army to Planet Orphan Blood, and sending 200 Martial Emperors to attack Planet Gudah, do you think these are acts of revenge by the Planetary Emperor called Robin?” After a moment of thought, Pythor asked, ”Did he know that the Nihari war was inevitably lost, so he decided to cause us some losses as well?”

”I think Your Majesty is absolutely right, these are definitely acts of sabotage after they were expelled from Nihari, or else they are also in control of Nihari and have a surplus of troops, which is impossible hypothetically and rationally.” Marshal Snight held back his anger as much as he could, then said in a low voice, ”But Your Majesty, what are we going to do about Planet Gudah? Are we going to leave it to them to help the locals increase their already strong fortifications? What about the rest of our planets? We must fortify them immediately!!”

Paythor nodded at Snight, then pointed at his First General, ”What do you think?”

”...I see that they are trying to pull us away from the main event, which is Planet Nihari. If we win there, the entire game will be decided.” General Harus shrugged his shoulders and spoke calmly, ”I think their planetary emperor wants to tell us that he can reach all our planets just as we can reach all of his, so we should either withdraw or prevent further reinforcements from being sent to Nihari, but I think we should do the opposite!”

”I managed to save about a quarter of the fleet from Gudah, if we take any remaining forces here and the Imperial Guard with us and go to Nihari now, any pending battle will be settled and we will cut off their legs from there,” Harus then slammed his left fist into his right palm, ”Generals Straga and Dayroth must have wiped out the planet they went to, and Marshal Lunt must have made some progress in his mission even if he didnʼt completely destroy it, so Planetary Emperor Burton will have nothing left but that planet called Orphan Blood or perhaps Planet Gudah to resort to, then we will corner him there and destroy him!”

*Applause* Pythor pointed at his general, ”Thatʼs what I was thinking, weʼve already put all our cards in the war, thereʼs no point in retreating now, we must go after everything... Harus, kneel.”

*Paa* Without asking why, Harus immediately kneeled.

Then Pythor took two steps towards him and placed his right hand on his head, ”Normally this would have been done in a grand ceremony with all the marshals present, but we donʼt have time... We lost Marshal Safrok on the Orphan Blood Planet, you will be promoted as a marshal immediately to keep the number of nine marshals constant as a witness to the power and glory of the Great Serpent Empire.”

”This little one gladly accepts, Your Majesty, the banner of glory will continue to fly above the empire forever!” Marshal Harus saluted as he knelt.

”...” Snight didnʼt seem too impressed with what had happened, all the marshals hated Harus because he always said what Pythor wanted to hear, and he loved him for it.

”Get up, Marshal Harus.” Pythor removed his hand from his assistant, ”I assign you your new mission, you must prepare everything we have to wipe out the True Beginning Empire, once and for all!”

”Yes, Your Majesty!” Haros knelt down again with great happiness, and couldnʼt help but throw a sarcastic look at Snight ”...!!”

Then he got up and started listing what he needed, ”Your Majesty, for a mission like this I will need all of your personal guards, I will also need access to all the adult male and female lists on Planet Poison Rock, and I--”

”Wait... Something is happening.” After Pythor had been listening intently, he raised his hand and silenced Marshal Harus then closed his eyes for a moment, ”...There are a large number of ships entering the atmosphere, what is happening here?...Guards, bring me the person in charge of those ships!!”

A bad feeling began to overwhelm Pythor, Snight and Harus did not look good either... Where could so many ships come from now?

It better be just that the spoils from Nihari were too big that they sent too many ships to carry it back, because if not then...

Less than a minute later the huge gate opened again and a number of injured individuals rushed in, ”Your Majesty Pythor! Your Majesty Pythor! Marshal Lunt was killed on Planet Greenland at the hands of Planetary Emperor Robin himself, we have his body with us!”

”Your Majesty Pythor, Marshal Straga was killed, his body was burned to the ground by a

young human who fought our entire army single-handedly!”

”Your Majesty, I have the remaining arm of Marshal Dayroth, he was surrounded and killed by

several Warlords.”

”?!?”

”....?!?!?”

”.....?!?!?!”

The eyes of Pythor, Snight, and Harus opened like never before.

Then Pythor turned his back to everyone, kneeling on both knees with his chin and nose touching the ground, ”Overlord, we need you.”
