Lord of the Truth

Chapter 853: Tumor removal



"The siege around the city is in its final steps, Captain!!" one of the Demi-humans snakelings came running, "If we stayed inside the city longer we wouldn't be able to get out at all."

"Damn it!!" The snake-like martial emperor slapped his head hard

They were told that they would attack empty planets, they were told that they would occupy and destroy them easily as if they were dealing with children, but the truth was different... First, two little monsters appeared and besieged them inside the imperial capital, killing a marshal and more than a quarter of the army, and now the real imperial army has returned to deal with them!!

Over the past ten days, an army has appeared on every continent on Planet Jura except for the Flame Continent, that army does nothing but scan the cities for any escaped demi-humans to kill, or at least expel them towards the Flame Continent...

And now, a human General called himself Raiden and his army are besieging the city they took control of since the invasion began!

"Where the hell did all these armies come from? Who are they fighting in Nihari then if they are all here?! Damn it!!!" That Martial Emperor struck his forehead again, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "We don't have any warships left, we can't escape today! Kill as many of them as possible, that's the only way we can force them to retreat!!"

...On the other side, Raiden frowned slightly...

As the battle raged around him, the city was burning and the screams were rising, he kept floating in the air in his black and gold armor, and the golden cloak that he had drawn black lightning patterns on himself... Instead of intervening in the battle, he stayed where he was, holding his thin spear, and observing what was going on with a frown.

This city belonged to a ducal family from what was once called the Lying Water Kingdom, a large city with decent defenses... but it was definitely nothing that could stand up to his army of 50 Martial Emperors and 50,000 law-using soldiers.

"..." Of course, Raiden understood, if everyone in the city died today he could announce that they came and found that the invaders were the ones who wiped them out.

But he looked back at the city and the citizens being trampled underfoot below... He knew that what his assistant was saying was reasonable from a soldier's perspective, but he didn't have the heart to give such an order, and he didn't think most of the soldiers would obey him either, this was a sin that most people couldn't live with.

After a long hesitation, Raiden lowered his head, "...Continue a little longer, in a few minutes I'll break through their ranks again and cause some casualties."

"General!! You've already used this method several times, those cockroaches are too many and your interventions won't accomplish much, we have to open fire!!" The assistant was almost mad, every second a soldier was falling dead, "You wouldn't be called a butcher, or even the first to do it, didn't you hear about what General Victoria and General Alexander did in the past few days in the continents of wind and water? Or do you want to inflict useless losses on your men like what happened to General Billy's army?!"

"...I--" Raiden stared at the ground for a long time and gritted his teeth, then let out a long sigh, "Alright then, get ready to open--- hmm, what is this?"

At this moment, red clouds appeared above the city out of nowhere, which quickly began to descend and form into arrowheads, there were thousands of those arrowheads each of them pointing at one of the city's citizens!

"For the sake of..." Whether the True Beginning Soldiers or the Great Serpent Soldiers, they were all surprised by the scene and disengaged for a moment to understand what was

happening.

The citizens who were marked by the arrows tried to disperse them as if they were repelling a mosquito, but the arrow made of clouds disintegrated for a moment before gathering again. Some of them tried to run, but the arrow followed them!

Everyone remained confused for a few more seconds, until a voice was heard throughout Jura Planet: ("Excuse me, can everyone hear me?...Well from your reactions it seems that you hear me, I am Planetary Emperor Robin Burton, everyone with a red arrow on them is a rebel who participated in the attack on Planet Jura in one way or another, you may kill them all, and please enjoy yourselves doing it!")
