The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1178: For Our Motherland (1)

The days went by quickly, and in no time, five months had passed since the engineers from the Nethran race had arrived.

This meant that the main Nethran legion was only a few days out.

General Thorn had already given them the coordinates and several updates on what they had discovered and how best to handle the invasion of Earth.

In their last conversation, General Thorn pointed out that they had found a way to disable the Array protecting Earth.

However, it would take some time. This meant the king and his legion must first land and strategize. Naturally, the king bought into his lie, and so the planet where the explosives had been placed was sent to them, along with the coordinates for where they should land.

The mission could not fail, so they had to be cautious in how they attacked the enemy, even though they had a superior army.

Once all this was arranged, Queenie and her people moved back to Earth to wait for the enemy to arrive.

Six days later, Jane, who stayed behind to sense when anyone was billions of miles away, suddenly sensed five large spaceships emerge from the Dark Universe and start traveling at light speed toward the Dark Planet.

They chose to name the planet Dark, because it is always dark and cloudy there...

The moment she sensed them, she teleported back to Earth and decided to watch the dark planet from Earth.

The mission was to let them land on the dark planet, and then once they all got out, the explosion would be detonated.

”So they are finally here, huh?” Queenie muttered, already clad in her deep red leather armor. She and her sisters were ready for battle, so they were all clad in their armor, eager to enter combat.

Asha and Nadia had also finally come out of their domains and would be joining the battle. Of course, they said nothing about how much power they could command.

However, everybody knew their harvest from the awakening was already good enough to know they had become much stronger.

Nadia was now a Monarch, and so was Asha. Naturally, as warriors who had some effect on the strength of their warriors, the two of them being Monarchs again made everyone happy that they would be joining the battle.

Aside from them, there was also Nas, who had also left seclusion and decided to join the coming battle — that is, if there were even any survivors to fight after the explosive welcome Yuying and Princess Eshira had prepared.

However, Nas, who was also a Monarch, boosted the confidence of the warriors ready to fight in this new battle.

During the awakening, Nas had captured and trapped thousands of enemy warriors in his Chess World.

As the battle raged during the awakening, he kept trapping them, killing them, and then refining them into chess pieces.

By the end of the awakening battle, he had refined Hunter into a Monarch.

He also managed to refine five Death-stage and ten Life-stage chess pieces.

Naturally, he was only eligible to refine sixteen chess pieces since, in the game of chess, one can only have sixteen pieces to play with.

Nas knew that, so he was meticulous about refining his chess pieces, and by the end of the awakening, he had refined rather decent warriors under his command.

However, after the battle ended, the enemies’ bodies had to be shared among those who needed them.

It was rather weird, one would say, ’don’t burn the bodies, I need them.’ Naturally, Asmodeus, Asha, and Nas said that, and in the end, they had to share the millions of bodies.

Of course, Asmodeus had long claimed a rather large sum of those bodies, so the majority of the remaining bodies went to Asha and Nas.

Nas had been in seclusion for the past year and a half and had just come out. He entered as a Nether-stage warrior and came out a Monarch — that’s four stages ascended in less than two years.

It was not something that could be achieved easily, of course, as it would take many centuries to move that fast.

However, Nas and the others who had taken such huge, ridiculous leaps had checked several boxes.

In Nas’s case, he had inherited several soul essences from the kills made by his sixteen chess pieces and also had Klaus’s Star Monarch blood. This allowed him to level up much faster when the awakening was over.

And because Earth was now a forbidden world, there was no tribulation, so with the star monarch’s blood securing his foundation, he managed to leap forward in stages in less than two years.

Now, there was no telling how strong his 16 chess pieces had become.

’We will find out soon enough.’

Queenie focused on the powerful lineup she would be leading into battle.

Now that Klaus was not around, she was in charge.

Standing on her right was Sura, her beast companion, who was also clad in red armor. She wielded a dagger and a sword; however, her true Beast form as a Blood Lion made her worthy to be a guardian beast of an Asura.

Queenie was not taking everyone into battle like they did before. This time, she was only leading the Domain stage and above. That was about 250,000 warriors.

After scanning their faces, she decided to say something small to boost morale.

”Speeches before battle aren’t exactly my strong suit; however, in the concept of winning, I would like to say this battle will be swift and decisive.

The only thing we have to worry about is whether we will enjoy it. Personally, I have been bored for a while, so I would love to have some action down.

I don’t know about you, but be sure to not have any regrets when slitting their throats and their warm blood splashing on your faces.

Now, that is a delight I would enjoy.”

Everyone could only stare at the redhead beauty whose speech had left them unsure how to respond. Moments like this were marked by cheering and chanting.

However, everyone seemed taken aback hearing her words...

Sura leaned toward Queenie and whispered into her ear, ”Big sister, you suck at giving speeches and boosting morale.”

”They just don’t get it. The Asura is all about war, so that is how we give speeches.”

Sura sighed, and the rest of Queenie’s sisters could only shake their heads and smile.

Yuying stepped forward and decided to boost morale. Since Queenie sucked in that front, the Nine-tailed fox decided to handle it.

”Remember, this battle is not one meant for revenge... It is one meant for glory. We have conquered the heavens, but they refused to give up.

They are coming again, and this time, we will conquer them with smiles on our faces. This time, we will tell them they aren’t qualified to challenge us.

This time, we will use their blood to declare that we are a forbidden race, that we cannot be trifled with.

This time, we will show that we are true followers of a paragon and that defying the heavens is something we do for breakfast.

So go out and use the enemy’s blood to make your declaration. Kill them and let the banner of the Paragon race flutter above the heavens.

FOR OUR MOTHERLAND!”

”FOR OUR MOTHERLAND!”

By the time Yuying was done, everyone was cheering, their blood boiling like hot soup.

Sura leaned in again and said to Queenie, ”See, that is how you get the party started.”

Queenie scoffed, but a smile appeared on her lips.

A couple of minutes later, the ships entered the Dark Planet’s atmosphere — all five of them.
