Chapter 657 Thunder Battle
"RAAHH, count me with you!" A female laugh rang out, then a woman came forward with wings full of feathers like the wings of a hawk, and long feathers emerging from her head like a crown.
"All of you..." Flora's father looked around in shock and joy at the same time, shocked that all of these people intended to take the invitation of the leader of the invaders into consideration, and happy because his daughter was no longer the only *traitor*
"Are you crazy? Do you really want to go to another world? Walk with your feet to the enemy headquarters?!" One of the opposing Martial Emperors shouted angrily and then pointed at Flora, "What if they controlled her mind to do this? What if they are making her invite us towards certain death?"
"You're right, that's why I'll go with them to make sure they're safe." A serious voice suddenly appeared, then the sound of footsteps like horse steps, and then its owner appeared, a Martial Emperor with prominent, strong features, his body was full of muscles at the top, and his lower half resembled that of a horse.
"And I will go for a few days and evaluate the situation. The opportunity to see a new world will not come every day."
"And me, I want to test that point system!"
"And me"
"Count me in..!"
After the number of Martial Emperors who expressed their desire to visit Greenland reached 20, Alexander gave a big smile. For this reason exactly he remained standing and refused to leave.
He had been in their place before and knew that no matter how good the conditions were, no one would agree to them for fear of being called a coward or a lowlife. Without some pressure, no one would want to be the first *traitor*, but with a few words from him, he made it clear that the first person to come forward would be the first to *sacrifice* and not a traitor, which opened the door for more people to accept the conditions.
*Boom*
At this moment, Raiden descended from the sky again with such force that the earth exploded. Although blood was pouring down his face and his left eye was half closed, he landed on both feet, raising his spear with a defiant smile drawn on his face and white lightning crackling in his eyes. It was clear that he wanted to pounce upwards to continue the fight.
"Raiden, that's enough. We've gathered a number of volunteers. We don't have to stay here any longer." Alexander quickly stepped forward and shouted loudly
"Hmm?" Raiden stopped the momentum he had prepared in his foot, then *whoop* he spat out saliva mixed with some blood, and looked back up, "Bullhead, do you want to continue this fight later or do you still insist on dying today?"
*Pzzzzzz*
Aru slowly descended from the sky, encased in lightning, maintaining his flawless exterior and powerful aura. By looking alone, it was feasible to tell who won this battle!
Aru looked around and noticed the number of Martial Emperors standing next to Alexander, so he sighed and dispelled the cover of lightning around him, "...Go, let's continue this fight on another day."
Raiden shrugged his shoulders, then inserted his spear into the space ring and began to move towards Alexander, but his words were directed at Aru when he opened his mouth, "As long as you are stuck here, there will not be another day. The second time we meet, we will either be brothers, or you will be dead."
Aru furrowed his eyebrows but didn't say anything. How could he not know the meaning of Raiden's words? According to Flora's explanation, they have a way to advance to the Martial Emperor's realm and use its powers without the need for sacrifices. The time element is not in his favor at all!
But at the same time, he did not dare to attack Raiden and kill him now, or even to block the path of Alexander and the local Martial Emperors who preferred to go with him, in either case, it would mean that he was declaring all-out war on the Empire of the invaders.
Although during the five years, he had prepared a few steps and fortifications and had complete confidence that they would not fall without killing countless numbers of enemies... avoiding a war of annihilation was still the best option.
Within a few more minutes, the number of Martial Emperors who wanted to go with Alexander stopped at 27, so he took them and Raiden and they left in silence.
"Aru... please go let's go with them." A few minutes after Alexander left, Flora approached and gently pulled Aru's arm
But she was surprised to see Aru suddenly clutching his chest and spitting blood *Pffft* and leaning on her with all his weight, his aura weakening greatly without warning.
"Ah!!" Flora was in shock. She did not know what to do. This was the first time she had seen Aru in this state in years. "Are you okay? What happened to you?!"
"...I'm fine." Aru gathered his strength and stood up straight again
"You... Why are you so stubborn? Why did you restrain yourself to level 41? Do you think General Raiden is someone you can freely fight at the same level? They don't call him Lightning Boy for nothing, his compatibility with lightning has reached 95%!!" Flora almost went crazy. She cut off part of her clothes and began wiping the blood from her man's mouth, then scanned his body with her soul sense, "Ugh, what should I do to you?! Your body is full of internal injuries!!"
"...Death is easier for me than going back on a promise. I underestimated my opponent, and this was my mistake, and I have to bear the consequences, that's all." Aru spoke seriously as he looked towards the horizon, "Lightning Boy Raiden, huh? I would love to fight him again."
"You can fight him tomorrow if we go to Planet Greenland! You still have time, as long as the additional 5-year period is activated, we can go at any time during the five years!" Flora tried to persuade him, "My dear, you do not owe these people or this world anything. On the contrary, didn't they destroy the Lightning Bull Tribe? Didn't they kill and eat your parents? Didn't the Lightning Bull Tribe turn into a meat farm for five neighboring tribes before you appeared among them? Didn't you wash yourself with the blood of those five tribes and kill everyone who stood in your way until you secured a reasonable place for you and your tribe just to not get eaten anymore? Why do you act as if this hell is your beloved homeland that you cannot abandon? Just take the lightning Bull Tribe with you and let's get out of here!"
"..Even with the bloodbath I committed, I would not have succeeded in protecting my tribe without your help." Aru looked sideways and kissed Flora on the forehead, "But even if this home is hell, it's still home. As long as one person here believes that he has to fight until the end, I will help him." Then he flew towards the horizon without adding a word
Flora couldn't help herself and hit the ground with her feet, "Argh! You just want to keep your promise that you will be the leader of the resistance until the end! Why did I have to love an idiot like you?!"
