A few days later-- somewhere west of the Continent of the Flame Empire
"Huh..? No No, it seems that I misheard something as this can not be true, did you just say that Robin was betrayed on that other planet of yours, and then you guys left him alone and came here? Is that what happened?!" Billy yelled madly, terrifying all the officers around him
*BOOOOM*
Amon looked side by side at Jabba and spoke, "I told you we should follow him secretly.."
"That was his request, what do you both want from me? you wanted me to cling to him against his will?" Jabba looked side and in front of him at Billy and Amon several times and shouted in his own defense, "You both know him well, you either listen to orders and be a friend or you disobey him and you are an enemy, he has no third choice!"
"That's not true, when I stepped up against his decision he listened to my words and changed his mind!" Billy spoke proudly and then continued, "You idiots should have insisted on staying by his side, he was already in a bad vengeful mood, I can't even imagine his condition now!"
"With all due respect Uncle Billy, if my Master hadn't already been in an internal conflict over his decision, if he was really intent on killing everyone no matter what, he would have let you commit suicide and threw you to rot to the side as he went along," Jabba spoke with his eyes half closed
"Bffftt..." A muffled laugh escaped from Amon's mouth but he managed to hold it in.
The look of anger on Billy's face was replaced by shock as he looked at Jabba bluntly for a few moments, "...Well that is probably true, but what's the point *with all due respect* if you are going to humiliate me like that afterward?"
*boom boom boom boom boom*
"Tsk~ Forget about it now, what is the situation here? I see you might need some help.." Jabba looked behind Billy and spoke with furrowed eyebrows.
"YOU THINK?!" Billy opened his arms wide and shouted sarcastically before a bale yellow flame ball fell right behind him!
*booooooooooooooom*
"Kkkhhhhhh!!" Billy got busy putting off his back and then looked behind him, his eyes fell on what appeared like two seas of yellow and white flames, and shouted, "Bastards, don't let the damned attacks reach the command center!!"
"Sorry boss, we'll pay attention next time!" One of the demons answered in a hoarse voice
Billy pointed at him and yelled again, "I know you, Tomaho, you red horned bastard, don't think you will get away with your negligence just because you look like the rest."
"Where is Sakar? Didn't he promise to finish conquering the continent in just 50 days? why are you still near the ships? at this rate, you won't reach the middle of the continent any time soon... What is going on here?" Amon spread his spiritual sense everywhere around him to try to search for Sakkar and the rest of the demon kings
"You'll find that sack of shit in the front, Moren in the back, you know why? Because we are f*cking trapped!! It's all because of that bastard Sakar's bragging that he is going to conquer the continent in less than two months and because of the damned Robin's bizarre demand that we find ourselves in this situation! !!!!" Billy screamed and kicked the rocks next to him, and a few demon officers even took side steps so that none of the rocks hit them.
In Billy's fury, a shout came from within the city, "Who the hell are you? Why are you hellish devils attacking us? What do you want from us?"
"Shut up and just die you bastard, or I'll order the demon to f*ck your corpse before they eat it!!" Billy looked toward the city and yelled angrily, then looked at Jabba, "See that? we have been here for about two weeks already but the imperial family didn't tell the common people what they did in Ancestral Continent nor do they tell them who we are, most of the ones we are fighting don't even know what's going on but they still fight anyway!"
"Just calm down, what happened? Tell me why and how you were trapped here...?" Asked Jabba with furrowed eyebrows, when he and Amon came upon the Draco they found a huge battlefield in front of the walls of a large city, the battle seemed somewhat chaotic so he just searched for Billy and went for him, but he didn't notice that there was a siege around the demon army!
"Hoo... Hoo... Hoo..." Billy tried to calm himself and then continued, "The continent is literally huge, it definitely can compare to the size of the Ancestral Continent or just a little bit smaller, the problem is that the continent is filled with cities that contain a large number of Elders and Saints. It's not like the Ancestral Continent where only one or two old farts in each kingdom are in the Sagehood realm!
In a war like this, we ought to wait and think of strategies to minimize losses, but because we were pressed with a short timetable we finally decided to advance in a straight line until we reached the capital located in the Northeast of the Continent!
After the first week, we found a few big cities and attacked them directly, the cities were heavily armed and their walls did not fall no matter how hard we tried, but in the end, we managed to overwhelm their aerial defenses and captured them.
When we asked the prisoners - in a friendly manner of course - why the cities were armed and shielded in this way, although there are no wars, they said that the coastal cities are armored in this way because of the attacks of sea beasts, while the cities inside the continent are more armored because they are old and the imperial family when they first came here wanted to protect the family from the attacks of the high-level beasts that were filling the continent, so they strengthened the defenses as much as they can, and it still standing!
Heh~ anyway, We killed all the experts who refused to surrender and captured the rest of the resedences of those cities, but I knew that this success was thanks to our sudden attack and soon we would face trouble... and it was!
Now every city we encounter -besides that they are basically heavily armored and armed- is fully prepared and they have military and logistical support from everyone around them to stop us!!
This is in addition to that we are constantly attacked from behind because we are walking in a dangerous straight line at a fast pace and do not do anything to protect our rear!
Groups of imperial forces are trying to burn the fields of grain and crops, and drain the rivers and wills in front and behind us, until we are starved, and indeed if it was an ordinary army we would have suffered from severe thirst and hunger by now...I think for the first time I felt happy that my soldiers are mainly cannibals.
And right at this moment as you can see we are facing the two problems together, a city fully ready to defend against us to their death in the front, and a large army came stabbing us from behind!"
"You... are you saying we are losing this war!?"
