Lord of the Truth

Chapter 884: Purge -1



Planet Jura-- The Flame Continent--

*tap* *tap*

Sitting on a huge throne-like seat, Alexander watched the scene before him like a hawk with not so much of an expression on his face.

The third largest city in the Flame Continent was in front of him at this moment, a well- fortified city full of resources, food, citizens... And full of invaders.

This was the last spot that Marshal Dayroth decided to take as a stronghold. The city walls were completely covered with the bodies of hanged and mutilated humans. The flags of the Great Serpent Empire fluttered on the castles and the warships were hovering around the city nonstop...

"Hahaha, why are you standing so far away? Come on, let's have some fun if you dare! Hahahahaha" The Great Serpent soldiers in charge of the surveillance continued to harass Alexander and his companions.

They can hear the screams of the citizens inside the city, screams and terror, some of them were shouting at the top of their lungs bagging Alexander to storm the city, saying that it was okay with them to die as hostages rather than live with those animals!!

Yet, Alexander, with a huge army behind him, indeed did not dare to come closer.

...The True Beginning Army returned from Planet Nihari roughly two weeks ago and was divided between Planet Jura and Planet Orphan Blood. It was expected that Planet Jura would be cleaned up quickly after Alexander received 250 Martial Emperors and 30 Warlords, in addition to a huge number of Law-Using soldiers reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions after the recruitment announcement.

With such a massive service network providing them with weapons and pearls, the Great Serpent Army grew stronger and more fierce.

The only problem they faced when the rebels stopped hiding among the citizens was that they could no longer stay inside isolated cities far apart around the continents for long, now they don't have the trap that slowd down the armies of the True Begning Empire!

Plus, the presence of the warlords and the True Begning generals hunting them down and taking out their hate and anger upon them they could no longer withstand a direct battle.

So Marshal Dayroth changed the strategy and took half of his fleet to the Flame Continent to take permanent refuge, then ordered the other half of the fleet to be free ships and move from city to city and from gathering to gathering to kill everyone they see, harvest all the resources, pearls and weapons they could before moving on to the next city!

Dealing with the rebels fighting fiercely for survival was difficult enough, but with the red arrows upon their heads and with no decent military training the generals could easily take them out with time,

But then and after Marshal Dayroth's new tactic, trying to stop the ships with their tremendous speed from proceeding their plan was difficult beyond description!

...Robin and the army's arrival did Planet Jura no good, in fact, Its destruction levels got many times worse.

Alexander tried to invade the Flame Continent and kill the bulk of the Great Serpent Army then try to corner the rest of the ships individually until he kills them all one by one or by force then left the planet

But Marshal Dayroth didn't entertain Alexander, he decided to punish him instead.

He retreated before the battle began, gave orders for his ships to disperse and spread out all over Planet Jura at full speed, killing and destroying as they pleased, and then regrouping in another city on the Flame Continent like if nothing has happened!
