Chapter 728 New target
"Of course His Excellency will enter the war on behalf of Planet Nihari. How can His Excellency allow a planet he set foot on to be defiled?" The Shadow Sword raised his head proudly, "The eastern region will be entirely your responsibility and do not worry about what is happening anywhere else. The important thing is that you do not let the invaders take a single stone from you; That will be all."
*Whoosh* The Shadow Sword disappeared again, leaving three mouths open
"..Well this was unexpected, but it's great! Haha we have His Excellency's support!!" The correspondence elder patted Orzun on the shoulder happily
Orzun laughed, "Phew~ I was worried about the plan to retreat here and let them do what they want with the rest of the planet, but as long as His Excellency said that he would take care of them, there is no need to fear anything any more. If this news spreads in the eastern region, celebrations will be held for a whole month! Haha, sect master, what do you think about the-- Sect Master?"
*Crack* *Crack* The sound of Jabba squeezing his fists sent shivers down the elders' back
Then they heard him talking to himself: "He will intervene in the war then, and knowing that man, this was certainly not a spur of the moment decision. He had planned this for decades! Ooh, This is why he deployed the shadow swords all these years then, to prepare the playground for him before he make his move... Why didn't he say anything when I asked him to intervene in the war then" I broke the Master-Disciple relationship between us for nothing.. Why didn't he take a minute to explain to me what he intends to do? Is it so easy to abandon me?! He has not even bothered to send one of his sons to explain our role in the war, he sent a random shadow sword... A RANDOM FUCKING SHADOW SWORD!!" *BAAM*
---------------------
Ten days later - the central region - the only city currently inhabited
"The eastern region is the biggest and only obstacle in my view, just pretend like you don't see the rest of the map for now, we must eliminate the resistance there first, then the planet will be ours." General Sully pointed towards a floating map. This map was obtained by Seagal by chance in some palace of a ruler of one of the cities he destroyed.
"Did you forget what I said about the northern region, or are you just playing dump?!" Seagal intervened angrily and began addressing the rest of the generals, "According to our information, the northern region is home to a number of Martial Emperors, exactly they should be ranging from 300 to 500 Martial Emperors, and a large number of them are intermediate Martial Emperors! Although the information says that they are not unified and are divided into twelve tribes, the number of Martial Emperors is almost as many as our current number on the planet, and although the number of their soldiers is unknown, they are certainly not few either since they have all those Martial Emperors. If we wanted to talk about the biggest obstacle, it would definitely be the northern region!"
"So are we ignoring a Master Law user, a damn Truth chosen, for the sake of a handful of scattered tribes?" Sully shouted at him, "Look how the entire Central Region was evacuated and they all went to take shelter with the Fourth Truth Chosen. That place was already impregnable and it's even worse now! If we let a Master Law user free, disasters will strike. What's so dificult in what I'm saying?!"
"What would happen then if we attacked the east with all our might and found the north surrounding us from behind? Logic says that we get rid of the strongest first!" Seagal did not retreat either. The words he extracted from the prisoners in the first few months of his arrival made him look to the north with constant caution. Rather, he thought several times about retreating himself and going to bring at least 8 fleets.
"..." The rest of the generals kept watching the map for a while, finally one of them spoke up, "...How many energy pearls have we collected so far from the central region?"
Sejal controlled his anger a little and replied, "We collected more than a thousand energy pearls and the number is still growing."
Since information came that the inhabitants of the central region had disappeared, the army consisting of five fleets spread throughout the entire central region to kill everyone who was late in evacuating and to secure the borders so that no one would return to the central region. This piece of land equal to the size of their mother planet became their entire property and without sheding a drop of their blood!
Another general furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the number, "We collected a thousand energy pearls in just ten days? ...We have to call in backup, this place is just too precios to take it slightly."
"I agree with you, but not now..." Another general nodded and then pointed towards the south and west, "But we still have unfinished business... When support comes, what will we tell them about these two? Five fleets and we were afraid to move against them without support? Let's occupy them first, then we look to the east and north. Who is with me?
"I'm with you."
"Me, but I'm not going to the West," General of them sent a quick glance at Sully before he continued, "Until now we don't know what happened to half of the Fourteenth Fleet, even the two reconnaissance ships that went to fetch half the fleet have not been heard from again, so let's leave West aside for the time being and just send them more surveyors."
General Parrs ignored Sully who was clenching his jaws and nodded, "Very well, the five of us will attack the southern region as soon as we finish the preparations!"
