Chapter 937: Visitor
2 days later-- Planet Nihari-- Eastern Region-- City of Hope
"..." Marshal Lacrosse stared at the scene in front of him
"I will kill you all!!"
"Drop that lunatic and his mount, I will not rest until I tear his body apart with my bare hands!!"
The battle between Hulak and Crixus against the 300 Marshal Guards was still raging, and for some reason it became even more intense after Hulak's short dialogue with the Marshal's assistant, resulting in three more deaths.
"This battle must not continue like this." Marshal Lacrosse bared his fangs and clenched his fists
While Hulak and Crixus had extremely strong bodies and superior regenerative abilities, their opponents from the Marshal Guards were filled with minor and deep burns that were still burning like embers, and were filled with broken bones and deformed muscles.
The only reason this fight is continuing is because of their numbers which give each other a chance to rest, and their great experience which allows them to make fast decisions before receiving any fatal blows... But if this fight continues at the same pace, the injuries will accumulate dangerously, soon they will start falling like leaves and with every punch from Hulak, dozens of them will fall.
"That's their problem." Jabba didn't look too concerned, "Any sane leader would have stayed with his soldiers until he found a solution, but your colleague left them to face Ancestor Hulak and Crixus The Great without any real leadership and went to refine the planet's spirit, the same planet spirit that the Overlord promised me as a reward... Your colleague is simply too eager to refine the spirit of the massive planet Nihari to the point that he doesn't care what happens to his men, nor does he give me any face, why should I care? Anyway, I'm in no hurry to hinder him and take what's mine, if Planet Nihari's spirit wanted fools, it would have made the refinement easy for Ancestor Hulak who has been trying all these thousands of years."
"We have to help them because they are our men too, their defeat is our defeat!" Marshal Lacrosse looked a little angry, "If we go now, with my strength and yours we can force the King of the North and his mount to retreat."
"Go at your leisure and announce your presence and let everyone raise their guard, as for me, I will not move now, there is no doubt that the Shadow Swords are watching this battle, if I show myself and fight alongside you, I will announce my betrayal and Morin and his army will advance to destroy the strongholds of the Nihari Union Sect." Jabba changed the scene in front of him to bring Morin's figure chewing on a pile of bones among his soldiers, "I will not risk starting a battle with those things for the sake of your idiot colleague. If I really have to advance, I will advance towards Morin and his army to take them out first."
"...He's the First Marshal, it wouldn't end well for you if he knew the way you talk about him," Lacrosse spoke a little calmly.
He had given up trying to control Jabba or make him talk a certain way, the aura of that human was too strong, and he didn't want to start a fight with his ally over trivialities!
"I'm a Truth Chosen, your First Marshal can go to hell. If I join anyone, I'll join the Overlord directly, and if I join you somehow, I'll be the second in command after your Emperor. It is You who should watch the way you talk to me." Jabba scoffed and then turned back to watch what was happening.
"...Let's attack the Demon army in the south then." Lacrosse didn't want to continue this argument, so he pointed to the picture of Morin and changed the subject, "With my strength and yours, plus 100 guards on my side and another 80 emperors on your side, wouldn't it be easy to eliminate them? After that, we'll easily advance to the southern space portal and destroy it, then attack the west and destroy the space portal there, then head towards the demon army led by the demon general Amon and attack them from behind!"
"Great, what about those?" Jabba changed the scene.
Initially, Jabba had purchased 50 coordinates around the planet that he used to monitor the overall situation, but over the past few months, Jabba had been tweaking the coordinates, changing minor details and trying random numbers until he had collected a huge amount of accurate coordinates.
"What about it?" Lacrosse furrowed his brows, the scene that Jabba had brought up was Sakaar sitting on his bone throne.
"I don't know who's been scheming for the demon army lately, but whoever that person is, he's as cunning as a snake, I don't remember such a person existing during my time with the True Beginning Empire. Look, Sakaar's position is extremely dangerous, his army is fully deployed and has a large number of soldiers, he's apparently pressing north but he's also keeping an eye on us, if we move south he'll definitely send help to General Morin, he'll also send part of the army to attack our empty headquarters and maybe take advantage of the weak defenses in Hope City to destroy it and the space portal." Jabba shook his head.
"Then what? I can't help our comrades in the north, nor advance south or west? Are you saying we're trapped here? Checkmate?!" Marshal Lacrosse didn't want to acknowledge what he was hearing, "What's the point of cooperating with you then if you can't find solutions and help us?!"
"If you hadn't cooperated with me, I would have helped in the battle of Safe City and would have been fighting alongside Ancestor Hulak, your army would have been completely destroyed by now, be a little polite with me, just me sitting down is helping you." Jabba didn't intend to let any disrespect slide, "Anyway I can't stay silent for long even if I wanted to, I have to follow the same method as the new Demon Army strategist... I have to wait."
"Waiting for what exactly?" Lacrosse furrowed his brows, watching Sakaar calmly sitting on his throne made him shiver slightly
Jabba narrowed his brows slightly, "I don't know, but the battlefield is balanced and tense, it won't continue like this for long, one side will advance very soon."
At that moment, a loud sound rang out that shook the silent city: *BZZZTTT*
"What was that?!" Lacrosse looked around
"That's the sound of the space portal activating!!" Jabba stood up in fright and jumped out of the window. Indeed, the space inside the gate began to dissolve. It was connected to another
portal!
The last time the portal was activated was a few months ago, when Jabba made a law prohibiting anyone from the True Beginning Empire from entering due to the *State of War Measures*
Activating it now... Could it be that his excellency decided to use the portal's location to attack him?!
"Damn it!" Jabba thought about this, he shouted loudly as he landed in front of the portal *Baam* and pulled out a massive war hammer from his ring, ready to destroy the entire
portal.
*Step* *Step*
Right before Jabba touched the portal, a figure stepped out of it with his hands behind his
back...
He was about three meters tall, his color was pale and his skin was cracked, he had thick hair that looked like snakes, and his aura... This aura was that of an ancient beast!
"Your Majesty Pythor!!"
