Chapter 720 Clash
*Baam* *Baam* *Baam*
The soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire descended from the spaceships one after the other as if it were raining soldiers, but they all landed on their feet balanced. It was clear that these soldiers were experts and well-trained in adapting quickly. Within a few minutes, there were more than sixty thousand soldiers on the ground, all of them in their military formations.
On the other hand, the number of the sect's soldiers has already reached more than twenty thousand and is still increasing. Among the eight portals, there were five gates that spat ground forces in abundance, all of them wearing white divine armor, these are the armor and weapons that were made within the sect using the old techniques that Robin left for them.
There are two portals in the air from which the Draco Legion exits, and their riders are also wearing that white armor... There was only one portal that exited soldiers wearing golden armor inlaid with black parts and carrying weapons with completely black blades, Their numbers were clearly smaller compared to the rest.
The land, which was completely empty a few minutes ago, is now filled with tens of thousands of soldiers, the blue dirt on the ground could no longer be seen.
"Hmph, just useless formalities, end this farce and seize the portals for me, I don't want to lose any soldiers to these scum." General Sully waved unconcernedly, with a look like there was no need for lineups and plans and all of this in front of a group of locals, no matter how powerful they were.
"Yes, General!" The fifty Martial Emperors floating next to him responded with a military salute and turned their attention to the sect forces with disdain.
If they all attacked at the same time, there would be no battle, just a massacre...
"Stand down!" An intense gravitational wave from above slowed down the movement of all the Emperors
The General quickly composed himself as he was forced down a few meters, "Tsk~ An Emperor using a gravity path law on a planet that already has a high gravity feature is a huge inconvenience, and it's clearly a very high minor law ar that if not the Major law itself... Well, kill him first then."
"No one will harm the sect master!"
*Swoosh* *Swoosh*
From among the sect's army, several people jumped and all of them remained in the air around Jabba. Their numbers were around seventy individuals!
Those seventy individuals have different physical compositions from each other, some of them are giants, some are dwarves, and some are humans, just like the soldiers of the sect... They were the elders of the sect.
The first thing Jabba thought of after collecting some pearls was to try to buy the fourth stage of the laws. Although he was aware that his offer would almost certainly be rejected, he asked for them anyway and was surprised that the merchants told him that they had the authority to sell him these techniques, but on the condition that he would buy them individually each time.
Meaning: If he had 10 people who wanted the technique, he would have to buy it ten times, and the sale would be done in certain ways and using the oath tablets to prevent the spread of the technique after that. They also gave him very high prices, which was 20 million for each law technique... But in the end, due to the number of individuals who had reached the top of the Sagehood Realm, Jabba knew that he was buying a Martial Emperor with 20 million pearls, so he chose to accept.
And was, in a short period, the sect gained 70 Martial Emperors, all of them armored with golden-black armor, like those soldiers who just came out of the portals, the difference being that the sect's Martial Emperors had more black parts in their armor.
General Sully finally furrowed his eyebrows and turned to fully face Jabba, "…Why are there seventy Martial Emperors in the Eastern Region alone?" The General sent a quick look of reproach at Pandal who was floating next to him, then returned to smiling confidently at Jabba, "It's okay, it's nothing at all, but that doesn't change anything. This was what was expected from a planet of this size. Except for you, it's clear that they're all Emperors." At lower levels, it's just a side nuisance that will be eliminated."
Jabba smiled, "Honestly, I cannot predict the outcome of the Battle of the Emperors, but at least I am sure that your army will be wiped out today."
"Hmm?" The General furrowed his eyebrows
*boom*
On the ground, neither side needed a signal to engage. A reckless dwarf with a large beard came forward from the side of the clan and brought his hammer down on the head of a soldier close to him, and from that point, the battle began immediately.

This was what was expected from a planet of this size. Except for you, it's clear that they're all Emperors at the lower levels, it's just a side nuisance that will be eliminated."
Jabba smirked more, "Honestly, I cannot predict the outcome of the Battle of the Emperors, but at least I am sure that your army will be wiped out today."
"Hmm?" The General furrowed his eyebrows
*BOOM*
On the ground, neither side needed a signal to engage. A reckless dwarf with a large beard came forward from the side of the sect and brought his hammer down on the head of a soldier closest to him, and from that spark, the battle began immediately.
General Sully laughed angrily and shouted with all his might, "Hahaha, my men, the leader of those scumbags says that the battle is decided and that you will inevitably be defeated! Those locals think that they can stop the raging flood with enthusiasm alone, there is no need to wait for orders or tactics, kill them all! Show them the raw power of the Great Serpent Empire! Clean up that local filth quickly, I don't want to see anyone in front of me in 10 minutes!"
The morale of the Empire's soldiers reached its peak, "Hmph!!" The sixty thousand soldiers automatically divided themselves into three legions and attacked three different points in the sect's army, intending to dismantle and penetrate it from the first attack.
At the beginning of the clash, there was a complete sweep in favor of the soldiers of the Empire, with their numbers superiority exceeding their opponent by three times and the ships' cannons supporting them from above, as well as the high confidence in themselves as experienced soldiers of a Planetary Empire against those *locals*... They took down the first few ranks of the sect's soldiers in a quick massacre, but then, they stopped...

"What the hell?!" A soldier of the Great Serpent Empire shouted in his language as he tried to send out his most powerful attack, only to find a wall of pure white flames blocking his way.
During the first clash, the Great Serpent Empire side was astonished by the power of the local weapons. Their first attack was intended to completely disperse them, but it resulted in the death of only a few hundred of the front row. They soon discovered that those armor and weapons were not only solid, but that each one of them contained runes from different laws, The white equipment was not inferior to their silver ones, but even slightly better...?
This means that the twenty thousand locals in front of them are not only all second and third stage law users like them, but they also have weapons and armor as strong as theirs, and pure Law techniques as well... After the first clash, they found that these locals are their equals in almost everything!
The sect's army also gained some confidence after confronting the first wave, and with a shout of "Hooo," "Hooo," they began to advance at a steady pace, carrying their shields.
The spaceships intensified their cannon attacks when they noticed what was happening below, and on the other hand, the Draco Legion did not remain silent either. After their numbers reached more than two thousand Draco beasts, they began raining down their arrows on the Empire's army and on the spaceships. Every arrow of which, even if it did not kill the target, was enough to distract him!
As for behind the sect's army, the barren land has turned into an integrated military center. Field hospital arrays were set up and they brought the wounded from the first ranks there. They also set up temporary headquarters and supply distribution centers!!
The battle transformed from an attack by a planetary empire on a few local people, to an equal terrestrial battle.
And what's worse... The eight space portals are still sending out soldiers.
"What are you idiots doing?! Take control of those damned portals first!!" General Sully could not remain silent any longer, He forgot what he said earlier and pointed towards the portals.
"Start the sixteenth formation!!" One of the officers on the field shouted angrily. General Sully's intervention in this way was insulting to him and to the entire fourteenth army
The three legions of the Great Serpent Empire quickly took on a different formation, and the legions on the right and left quickly retreated and pulled the sect forces with them, leaving the middle legion in like it was.
This action made the middle legion surrounded from three sides and they actually began to receive attacks from the side, but this also made the numbers of opponents in front of them become much smaller and several gaps appeared, so they began to push forward!
"Arrrghh, you crazy bastards!!" One of the sect's officers shouted, This plan actually destroyed the sect's formation and revealed several loopholes in it, but it exposed the middle legion to siege and even annihilation if they did not succeed in what they wanted to do.
"Oh no!!" The officers' worst fears had come to pass. The large numbers of the enemy and the many gaps in their ranks broke the defensive barrier. In the blink of an eye, they saw dozens of enemy sages jumping over them through those gaps, all of them had the portals within reach!
If they let them control the perimeter of the portals, they will kill all the soldiers who emerge from it one by one, while at the same time surrounding the army from behind. The losses will be catastrophic!
