Chapter 906: Spoils
Six hours later---
"Tsk tsk~ It was a nice workout and all, but man, the gravity here is just unreasonably high." Samson raised his arm to shoulder level and watched it slowly descend, "Good thing you forbade us from bringing anyone under the Martial Emperor Realm, I didn't get you when you said they'd slow us down, only now I get it..."
Old Gu nodded, "That's right, the gravity here is dozens of times stronger than any planet we've set foot on before, I think it's at least 30 times stronger than Planet Gudah, although your sages and saints are welcome to come back any other time, but we are on a mission today, by the time they got used to Nihari it would be time for them to leave."
"How beautiful... is this what the people of this planet see every day? How lucky they are..." Sandria looked up with a smile on her furry face, this was the first time she had looked up at the sky and not seen a snowstorm or received a heat wave that burned the edges of her fur.
"You're both talking about trivial matters." King Volp took a deep breath, "Do you feel the density of the natural energy here? This is the first time I've realized that energy can be smelled and felt in the lungs! Is this the smell of natural energy?!" King Volp took another deep breath.
"You probably smell blood mixed with dirt, haha." Samson laughed loudly, then looked ahead... towards a sea of corpses.
Needless to say... the fate of General Therin's fleet was the most miserable ever since the war began, perhaps the worst since the Great Serpent Empire was founded ten thousand years ago, at least the rest of the fleets had a chance to do something.
Sakaar alone had the confidence to destroy half of the fleet before either side had to flee... and then came along Moren and King Volp, both level 48 experts, those three alone could wreak havoc on the entire fleet and chase them to the farthest reaches of the planet.
As if that wasn't enough, a hundred bloodthirsty demons, a hundred humans wearing epic armor sets, and a hundred more emperors of races they'd never seen before appeared and joined the party!
*Crack*
"Hey, I found this armor first, it's mine!"
"Get away from the corpse!!"
There wasn't a single survivor from General Therin's fleet, yet small conflicts were breaking out all around the space portal.
The locals of Planet Gudah were scrambling to gather weapons and armor from the Great Serpent soldiers to arm themselves and their armies when they returned, for them this was the biggest battle spoil they'd ever seen and a huge opportunity that would double their overall power.
The demons of course wanted the corpses, especially Sakaar who wanted to quickly gather as many corpses as possible to recharge his blood supply before another big battle started.
As for the human martial emperors, they did everything they could to bring down the ships with minimal damage and tried to protect them from being harmed by the demons or the locals of Gudah.
Of course, these interests clashed... The locals of Gudah and the demons began fighting over corpses, and then the demons and locals of Gudah tried to enter the ships to search them for corpses or weapons and clashed with the human martial emperors.
It took the intervention of Volp, Moren, Samson, and Old Man Gu to find a compromise and prevent a crisis, and this is what prolonged their presence for 6 hours.
Old Man Gu looked at the battlefield for a long time, where minor disputes were still erupting, and he could not help but mutter, "I have lived for nearly two thousand years and thought that I have seen it all, but I have never seen anyone like you, people of Gudah."
"Oh, how so?" Samson laughed proudly
"The fact that you suddenly decided to accompany me to a completely foreign place and bring all your elders and decision-makers with you was shocking enough." Old Man Gu praised first, then looked at Samson, "But to fight with us, inside our lands, over the spoils and weapons that fell from during our battle? This is something I have never seen before... Is this courage and a dead heart that fears nothing, or just impudence and thick skin?"
"...I'll choose the former, hahaha." Samson laughed out loud, then went to fight with one of his followers when he found him holding a silver club that looked powerful
*buzz* A space portal opened next to everyone at this moment, and a person dressed in black came out, "Is the battle over? I apologize, I came as quickly as I could."
"Charles! I called for you a full six hours ago, what happened?" Old Man Gu frowned when he reached him as soon as the battle began, Charles told him that he was a bit busy and that he would come to him shortly
"There was an attack on the central and western regions as well, but they were dealt with." Charles took a few steps to stand next to Old Man Gu, when he noticed the red humans and fox heads rummaging through the corpses, "...Am I missing something?"
Before Old Man Gu could respond, Sakaar's strong voice was heard, "What do you mean they were dealt with? Were the two fleets wiped out?"
Sakaar didn't believe it at all, he knew very well the state of war there and it was supposed to last for days, if not weeks!
"No, it seems that the crew of one of the ships here informed the rest that there was support coming from the southern space portal and that they were surrounded." Charles quickly replied, still watching the fox-headed ones, "At first they tried to invade the southern region and come to help but were blocked by the efforts of the demons, the Shadow Swords, and the Five Warlords, in the end, their generals decided to return to the northern region, I guess it was when they lost connection with this fleet."
"They attacked the southern, western, and central regions, and *returned* to the northern?!" Old Man Gu was shocked, the war had developed in a way he had never expected, "What about the eastern region?"
"...." Charles and Sakaar kept their silence this time
"...." Old Man Gu furrowed his brows and looked back towards the sea of corpses, their silence confirming what he had thought.
The fact that there was something going on between the eastern region and the snakes had become unconcealable now, but no one wanted to speak for fear of His Excellency's reaction.
