Lord of the Truth

Chapter 813: The Imperial Capital -2



*"Enough!"*

A shout that shook heaven and earth and attracted everyone's attention. The attacks on the city stopped, and the wail inside it subsided, everyone looked in one direction now.

*Shhh* In that direction, someone emerged from a huge ship with his hands behind his back. His height exceeded three meters, and his tail was twice that. His oppressive aura and imposing presence made everyone know who he was immediately.

"We salute His Eminence Marshal Dayruth." Both the Emperors and soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire bowed in equal measure

The Marshal looked towards the city and spoke in a voice that everyone could hear, "Congratulations to you for holding out for this long. I never thought that a city with such a small population would stop us for 5 days and 6 nights, but enough is enough. This is your last chance to escape a hideous death, Deactivate the array immediately!"

The mayor did not know what was going on, but he decided to go with it, "We are just a bunch of elders, women and children. Why would a great leader like you turn to us? Please show us your greatness and leave us alone. When His Excellency returns, he can host you properly. We don't have what it takes to entertain you longer."

The Marshal ignored the mayor and continued speaking loudly, "This Seat knows that your city shield can still last a day or two at most, but I am fed up with this dead spot and I do not want to waste any more time. Whoever among you is smart enough to open the array from the inside, I shall show him and his close family mercy, and I will make him the ruler of this planet under me. I will give you all ten minutes to save yourselves!"

The Imperial Capital that sank into silence a moment ago has exploded with discussions once more, some slaps and shoves also began to spread among the gatherings of families below.

Even the Emperors and soldiers of the Great Snake Empire began to look at each other strangely, their hands itching, they really wanted to continue the attack!!

At this moment, the sky shield dome was drawing energy from the city's huge reserve of pearls, repairing itself in a visible base. Every second that passes in cessation is definitely in the enemies' favor!

*Swoosh* Another person as majestic as Marshal Dayruth, tall and charismatic, appeared next to him with an expression of surprise and some anger on his face, "What exactly are you doing? Why are you giving them the time they desperately need? Is there even a reason? The city is already ours in a day or two."

Marshal Dayroth turned around and lowered his voice to the utmost, "I have lost contact with Ship No.677 that we sent to investigate the disappearances. There is no more time to waste here. We have to spread out and see what is happening."

"What? Mother Ship No. 677 has disappeared too?" Marshal Straga finally opened his eyes wide

A few days ago, after communicating with the local rebels, they told them that most of the planet's power was concentrated in the Imperial Capital and the Demon City. So Dayruth and Straga agreed with them that they would take over these two spots, and in return, the rebels would take over the rest of the planet. They would also aid them with 100 Martial Emperors and 40 warships to help, that's an entire fleet!

According to what the rebels said, this should have been more than enough. Without any Martial Emperors on Planet Jura, spreading 100 Demi-Human Martial Emperors among them was like using a cleaver to slaughter a chick, yet for some reason... they lost contact with all of them.

The disappearance of 100 Martial Emperors and 40 ships carrying more than 150,000 soldiers was a serious blow, something they had only heard about in the devastating Nihari War!

The Marshals had to either continue the siege to eliminate this annoying outpost and not give them a chance to strengthen their already impossible defenses further or to disperse and try to understand what was happening in the rest of the planet and if they did not understand what was happening, they would simply destroy it.

In the end, the two Marshals chose to send Mothership No. 677 to investigate the situation alongside Martial 30 Emperors and 20,000 third-stage law users on board... but according to what Marshal Dayruth now said, it too had disappeared.

The soldiers here are bragging that they will get this planet with the least possible losses and that their enemies are fools, while they already lost 130 Martial Emperors and 170,000 law users in just five days, and they do not even know how that happened!!

"What to do now? Has the Third Truth Chosen set traps here that these traitors don't know about? Are we being besieged right now while we are busy with the city? We can't stay here any longer." Marshall Straga muttered in a low voice, he had ruled a planet for more than 3 thousand years and participated in devastating wars, but he was starting to feel nervous! There is nothing more fearful than a hidden danger.

"What we should do is to storm the city and take shelter under its dome, of course, and then destroy the planet piece by piece until the locals have nowhere left to hide." Marshal Dayroth smiled maliciously and pointed down, "The dome is almost destroyed, their army is dead, and they are being besieged by a foreign race... Now that I have opened a door for them to escape, do you think no one will take the bait? Look at them and how they are arguing, hehe. Just wait, as the deadline is nearing, the riots will break out, and before the ten minutes are up, they will bring down the array themselves."

Straga looked down a little and then turned back to his colleague, "Are you sure? This doesn't look like a normal city, a normal city wouldn't have produced all those suicide maniacs..." "Haha, you don't know how dirty human nature can be, but I do. Just wait... I refuse to believe that a city filled with hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't break out in riots at an opportunity like this. They are just humans and not some virtuous beings!" Marshal Dayroth laughed and fixed his gaze on the city, "Look at them... Each one of them has their own story, each one of them has ambitions, friendships, and family, and each one of them is undoubtedly afraid of death. Humans cannot be intimidated and controlled the way we do to our men, it's only a matter of time before they fall into devastating chaos."

Marshal Straga nodded and returned to focusing on the city.

One minute passed quickly, then the second, then the fifth... A

After the fifth minute, the marshal began to sweat a little because he was unable to spot any riots yet, and the seconds began to pass in his eyes as if they were years.

Seven minutes passed, the arguments between the people of the city calmed down, and they all returned to hugging each other and crying again!

All ten minutes passed, and Part of the families dispersed, they were the remaining 20,000 law users in the city. They said goodbye to their families and left them with firm looks. Then they began to gather around the mayor, most of them were still young men in the Knighthood domain, but it was clear that they were able to convince their families to join the suicide squads after hearing about the state of the array.

"This city..." Marshal Straga furrowed his eyebrows tightly

"Hahaha, idiot! You're all idiots!! Do you want to create chaos among the residents of the Imperial Capital? Do you think it's a normal city? Do you want to differentiate between the survivors of Jura City, or the veterans of the True Beginning Empire's army? Hahaha, better luck in another way!!" The mayor could not contain his laughter as he saw the young men, whom he did not dare to summon, gathering around him of their own free will. Dayroth gritted his teeth and then shouted loudly, "Alright then! This Seat has shown his generosity, now I'll show you my brutality!!" Embarrassed, the Marshal could not restrain himself any longer as he began to burn his blood and exhale the purple mist thickly, then shouted behind him, "All ships, prepare to use up all your reserves of energy stones, energy essences, and even energy pearls. Either I or this city will survive past today!"
