Chapter 891: Rain
"Do you think we could ask for the coordinates of a planet or two?" Marshal Serpal became more excited and knocked one of the girls down as he quickly sat up.
"What are we going to do with them? Putting aside the huge Planet Nihari, we have three other planets of the so-called True Beginning Empire. Those four will suffice us for a long time. If you come to the truth, Nihari alone will suffice us for a long time!" Marshal Xanox was absent-minded for a moment, "Maybe the dream of relaxation and peace isn't that far away."
"Three planets, huh... Do you believe what the Truth Chosen said?" Serpal calmed down a bit.
Robin had previously announced that he knew about the attack on his planets and that he had surrounded and even eliminated them!
"No way, he was lying to dampen our morale." Xanox shook his head, "Why do you think he would withdraw his army like that and run away? The most he could do was focus on one planet and reclaim it while leaving the rest to us, and honestly, I don't think he could fully reclaim one of his planets either, they will be a lost case before he goes back!"
"You're right..." Marshal Serpal nodded, the thought that another Marshal would lose an entire planet after taking a 7-day advantage, "So, what do we do now?"
Marshal Xanox fell silent, of course, he knew what his partner was asking...
Before they came, a tribe called Azel was wiped out, reducing the number of the northern tribes to 11, and now they have eliminated four more, reducing the number to only seven northern tribes. If they continue at the same pace, they will undoubtedly be able to destroy all the tribes, but they will lose a lot of soldiers and equipment, and most importantly, they will lose most of the Durger blood from their veins and it would take a lot of time to regenerate it. At the same time, they cannot turn a blind eye to them... Nihari will undoubtedly be their center of operations, and they cannot leave such powerful locals around, it is their mission to get rid of them!
"...The northern tribes are not just the city where the tribe leader resides, they use the vast network of cities around them to attract more soldiers and resources, if we cut off these networks and besiege them, we will make them starve before getting rid of them." Marshal Xanox came up with an idea that would relieve them a little from the burden of continuous fighting, "Let's give the generals the orders to continue advancing and wipe out anything in their path while not approaching the capitals of the giant tribes, while we wait for the right opportunity, what do you think?"
"No problem with me..." Serpal nodded, then asked seriously, "Then what about the humans and the rest of the sentient races?"
"..." Marshal Xanox fell silent again.
Some reports say that a large number of sentient races have been seen crossing the border towards the central and western regions recently, and they haven't been attacked, the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers also want some rest after all those fierce battles and the nightmare that Robin showed them... So when they saw a large number of enemies trying to escape, they let them escape!
The problem they were facing now was that they had gathered information about how powerful the sentient races' armies were, to the point that not long ago, they threatened to invade the northern giant tribes, and it was said that even some martial emperors had appeared among them recently!
However, up until this moment, they hadn't seen a single one of them, all the settlements were completely empty.
...The basic plan that Robin had devised was that the united army of Nihari Giants would retreat a little, then regroup and continue fighting, he ordered the Shadow Swords to lead the sentient races' armies from all the settlements then it came to this route, and help the Giants' army surround the Great Serpent's to balance the scales a little.
But since the Nihari Giants had once again failed Robin's expectations and withdrawn for good, what was the point of throwing the army of sentient races into perdition? That's why Charles Burton, the second-in-command of the Shadow Swords, made the decision to send them all away from the battlefield... Since the Nihari Giants had reached this stage of selfishness, let them die alone.
"There's something happening in the south, There are billions of sentient race individuals, how come they decide to immigrate at the same time and to the same destination?" Marshal Xanox muttered in a low voice, "While on the other side, we have the eastern region that is said to be allies but we haven't seen any support from them so far except for a few pieces of information, while the western, central and southern regions are completely out of our control, why are we fighting here and reducing our numbers daily while most of the planet is empty waiting for us to occupy it and plunder its resources? I feel like we're being dragged into something here..."
"What do you suggest?" Serpal raised his eyebrows and sat up seriously, "Shall we divide the army and send some of them there? But the current war..."
"If we just besiege the main cities of the giant tribes and destroy the rest, we won't need our entire army, we can afford to send some of them south." Marshal Xanox continued, "At least in the report we'll send to His Majesty on the next ship, we can say that we've taken control of most of the planet's territory!"
"...You are right, but since the Third Truth Chosen has withdrawn and there is no longer an army in those areas, let's just send three fleets, they will be more than enough for the mission." Marshal Serpal nodded, then laughed, "And at the same time destroy the space portals that we are picking up in the western and southern regions, that way the Third Truth Chosen won't be able to return even if he wanted to haha."
"Hehe this is very compelling, it makes me anticipate His Majesty Pythor's reaction, hey, why don't we meet up and destroy another tribe together before we continue the siege operations? At least there will be 6 of them, I like the number six hehe." The Marshal laughed, he could already imagine Pythor's face after receiving all those batches of pearls one after the other, he must be dancing in his hall by now!
"No problem, if we work together we can easily eliminate one of the tribes..." Serpal glanced at the map beside him, "Well where are we meeting? The next tribe on our way is... the Ashera
Giants Tribe."
Planet Nihari--Central Region
"..." Sakaar looked up, observing a magical scene. Although he was a demon with no eyes, he used his soul sense, sense of smell, and sense of hearing that Robin had given them to the highest efficiency to paint a picture in his imagination of what he was seeing now.
The sky... It was raining pearls.
