Lord of the Truth

Chapter 965: Planet S1

Deep in the Young Belt-- Planet S1, the Dwarf World Planet

*Swoosh*

”Aghh.. UGHHH..!!”

*Clack* Raiden pulled the spear from the neck of one of the Great Serpent Empireʼs soldiers, then shouted back, ”What are you doing? Advance! Advance!!”

”Follow the General!!”

”Aho! Aho!!”

At this moment Raiden was completely covered in blood stains, his usual spiky silver hair was soaked with crimson blood, completely changing his appearance, one eye was open and the other was blind due to the amount of blood that had seeped into it... But none of it was his!

When the roles were distributed among the generals, Raiden was given an S-class planet because he was still young and his experience as a general and a leader was not great enough, although he complained that he wanted an R-class one, Caesar slapped him on the back of the head and told him to start preparing.

Neither he nor Caesar thought for a moment that he would face what he was facing now!

”Kill!!”

At this moment, there was a massive battle taking place between the army of the True Beginning Empire and the tens of thousands of the Great Serpent Army at the foot of a great volcano... It could even be said that the numerical superiority was slightly in favor of the Great Serpent Army!!

However, what was happening was more like a one-sided massacre.

The Great Serpent Empireʼs army didnʼt even look like an army at all, everyone was wearing their own clothes, some were holding sticks and hammers, and some came to the battlefield injured messing a few limps, it was clear that these people werenʼt a real army!

*Shoo* Raiden shook the blood off his spear and watched the battle near the crater, the demi- snakes were fighting fiercely and they had at least twenty martial emperors on their side, but they had no real leadership and there was no one among them who could stand up to the Warlords.

In fact, the Warlord Arrays hadnʼt even formed yet, the Saints and Sages of the three arrays rolled up their sleeves and joined the battle themselves, creating the warlords and using them in such a situation wouldnʼt be fun at all!

But still, Raidenʼs brows furrowed tightly... Arenʼt the demi-snakes artificial species that their only profession is war? They are technically made using humans when the number of soldiers decreases, so every one of them has joined the army at one point in their life, so... What were so many martial emperors and demi-snakes doing here on a planet that had already been subjugated while the war was raging in Nihari?!

But he shook his head turned around and continued jumping towards the crater of the volcano... When he reached this planet, Raiden ordered to divide his army into divisions of a thousand soldiers each led by a martial emperor, and march in different directions to quickly clean the planet

But after the first few clashes and when they learned that there were large numbers of the demi-snake race on the planet, Raiden ordered them to gather again and form only five armies, Their enemies did the same, they gathered too, but around several volcanoes, and this was one of them.

Whatever the reason why the Great Serpent Empire would send so many soldiers and veterans to a planet that had been completely subjugated, it was definitely related to these volcanoes!

*Shiii* Raiden landed on the edge of the crater and unintentionally kicked a pebble into the crater, ”Oh, my...” Raiden opened his eyes wide

*Bong* The pebble that Raiden kicked fell on the head of a bearded dwarf who was no more than a meter tall, who looked around for a moment and then continued on his way as if nothing had happened.

”One two hop hop one two!”

”One two hop hop one two!”

This wasnʼt a volcano as it seemed but a hollow mountain, inside it he saw a huge number of caves and caverns connected by tens of thousands of stairs, he saw a large number of dwarves freely coming in and out of those caves, each one of them had a metal collar like dogs around their necks but they acted cheerfully as if those collars didnʼt exist.

He saw female dwarves with bigger eyes and light beards, he saw shorter dwarves who were most likely their offspring, he even saw dwarf elders walking around with sticks and scolding the young ones... That hollow mountain contained an independent city!

”Hmm..?” Raidenʼs eyes then fell down, specifically towards the floor of the hollow mountain, ”This..?!”

The walls of the hollow mountain were a complete city, while the vast and flat floor of the hollow mountain was filled with warships!

There were at least twenty of them down there, some of them were complete but damaged ships, and some of them were still skeletons under construction, ”...This is the arsenal of the Great Serpent Empire?!”

With a simple scan using his soul sense, Raiden was able to count more than 4 thousand dwarves working on those ships at the same time, some cutting metal, some welding, and some working on technical things, all of them shouting at each other and some small fights breaking out here and there when someone did not receive what he ordered exactly, those dwarves were working with extreme skill and passion as if each one of them did not have a metal collar choking them, as if they did not hear the sounds of the battle just a few steps away from them!

”Nooo!! The enemy general has arrived at the top, stop him!”

”Donʼt let him destroy the shipyard! Use your lives to protect the empire!!” The Great Serpent Empireʼs army below went crazy when they saw where Raiden was standing and tried to rush towards him, but the Golden Army didnʼt intend to let them.

”You think Iʼm going to destroy an entire shipyard?” Without looking back, Raiden smiled and his eyes lit up, ”What kind of idiot do you think I am?”
