Chapter 732 The falling mountain
"What the hell?!" General Parrs cursed loudly as he carefully examined the army below them
"What's going on?" The rest of the three generals came forward to see what was happening as well. At first, they furrowed their brows a little, thinking about the next move, but in an instant, their focus turned to shock.
"What is it? What's going on down there?" Bandal took two steps behind his commander and whispered in his ear, "Why are they shocked? Were they not prepared to face large numbers?"
"Come see for yourself," Seagal muttered, a few drops of sweat beginning to trickle down his forehead
Bandal moved closer to look out the window. It took him much more time than the generals, but in the end, he opened his eyes to the last of them like the rest... There were two problems with what he saw:
The first is that the army below them ranged in number from one million to roughly two million, and it seemed that all of them were armed with engraved weapons, and all of them used the laws!!
Why does a random planet with no ruler and no backup from an Overlord have so many law users? And who organized them into this standard army, even though they are from different races?!
Speaking of races, this is the second and greatest problem... The army below is all humans, astral, dwarves, etc~ They are the same races that they fought in the eastern and central regions. Where is the army of the demi-humans? How is it possible that not one of the infantry soldiers is a demi-human?! Do the demi-humans scoundrels give birth directly to Martial Emperors, or is there another, larger army?!
"What do we do now?" General Molad's voice was heard across all the ships, he didn't seem disturbed but he wasn't confident either
"What to do about what? Do we have a solution? We have to eliminate them." General Dirit announced angrily
"But…" General Jake's voice was the most hesitant among them, "You know what this battle will do to our ground forces, right?"
"Damn the ground forces, we will not retreat again, we are the army of the Great Snake Empire for godsakes!!" General Parrs shouted and grabbed one of the internal transmitters, "All units, evacuate the ships immediately and engage the enemies, follow the Body Island plan!"
*Bzzzztt* The gates of dozens of space warships opened simultaneously and thousands of soldiers jumped out one after another. Cannons also began to appear, one after another, pointing downwards.
"Sigh~" General Jake sighed, then gave the same orders, and then General Mulad followed suit.
The Fourteenth Fleet's withdrawal from the eastern region was shameful enough. They could escape the accusation of fear of the Fourth Truth Chosen and justify not returning there and taking revenge by saying that they were planning to invade the southern region, but if they retreated here as well, it would ruin their political and military forever.
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
The nearly 120 space warships dropped off the refurbished soldiers at once, as if it were raining
These soldiers landed directly in the middle of the hordes of the local army. The first handful of them were killed immediately, then they took control of small circles that became their outposts. Then those outposts began to expand in the middle of the sea of the local army as if they were small islands.
Even if most of them were Marial knights using only the first grade of the heavenly laws, the presence of millions of them using Laws at the same time made Heaven and Earth turmoil.
This time, the warships took their time aiming and hunting down the Saints and Sages of the local army on the ground. There was no swarm of Draco winged beasts to disturb them. This caused quite a few losses at first, but this gap in air power was closed a little after a number of Sages appeared among the locals, their mission is to attack ships from below and intercept cannon shots before they reach the ground, they appeared to be using a number of black flags to support their attacks as well
"The numerical difference is still too great..." Bandal clenched his fists tightly
Sending more than half a million soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire to a battle is supposed to decide the outcome before it even begins. They are the standing army of a planetary empire that has ruled for more than ten thousand years, after all. Their main army is considered a terrifying entity for the young planetary belt! but...
Although they were achieving small victories at the bottom, their numbers were steadily decreasing as well. The numerical difference made this battle equal!
"They are nothing, we will burn them all like the locust they are." General Parrs spoke arrogantly and gave a signal before he himself left the ship.
Then 100 individuals flew out from the fleet's ships and stood in a row behind their general. It was clear that they were ready to launch a massive attack on the local army to blow up as many of them as possible.
*Vroom* *Vroom* *Vroom*
In front of the Hundred Martial Emperors of the 27th fleet, a hundred space vortexes appeared and a hundred individuals emerged from it, all of them remained floating in the air.
"...These Martial Emperors are all humans? Like pure Humans?!" General Parrs felt his eyes about to fall open, "What the hell is going on here? Why are there so many Human Emperors? Why are there any Human Emperors at all?!"
They heard from Sully about him seeing human Martial Emperors in the eastern region, but they took the matter with ridicule, thinking that he was still trying to make up stories to direct their attention away from his defeat, but seeing 100 of them now...
The person in the middle of them came forward, a dark-skinned human with a white beard and mustache. Fogun rubbed his pointed mustache and laughed, "Didn't Sister Flora tell you that this area is protected? Go back to where you came from while you still can."
"You..!!" General Parrs almost erupted, but instead, he calmed down and took a moment and ran his eyes over all of the hundred Human Emperors before a smile appeared on his face, "...You are all low-level Emperors, what makes you think you can stop ME?" Then he completely unleashed the aura of a high-leveled Emperor
"Oh, you? Who said we're here to stop you? We know we can't." A slightly fat, bearded human laughed. Charvier, the former chief of the Grazing Rats Tribe, and currently the king of the Grazing Rats Kingdom.
"If you know that you have no weight in front of me, then there is no need for battle," Parrs lowered his aura and raised his head, "Choose 4 of you and come to my ship. Let's discuss the terms of your surrender." He knew that even if he won today, there would be some losses
"Haha, what Brother Charvier meant is that we are not responsible for stopping you, but we know someone who can." Hadyar, First King of the Night Bird Kingdom, laughed loudly and then pointed upward
Parrs got angry and was about to attack directly, when something strange happened that caught his attention
The fiery storm that blocked out the suns was split in half by something huge, "A... Mountain?!" The General shouted If that mountain keeps falling, everything in the area will undoubtedly turn into scraps and meat paste.
"Ah!"
"Look up!!!"
Even the Battle of the Emperors between the Fourteenth Fleet and Orphan's Blood Emperor stopped for a moment under this glorious yet horrifying scene
Seagal felt a strange weakness in his legs as he looked up like everyone, and then he found himself muttering in a voice that only he could hear: "...This is not a mountain, this is a tree branch... I told you..."
