Lord of the Truth

Chapter 724 Aftermath

Chapter 724  Aftermath

"FUUUCKK!!" General Sully kicked the nearest chair to him, turning it into dust, and went looking for something else to break.

"..." The strange thing is that no one stood up to try to stop him or calm him down. There were five other emperors with him in the cabin, yet they were all sitting silently as if they had birds on their heads.

Although they were not defeated, nor did they lose a single Emperor, they also caused great losses to the Winged Beast Legion and the enemy's ground forces... They were also besieged, more than 4,000 of their soldiers were killed, and they were forced to withdraw.

When was the last time the Great Serpent Empire suffered this kind of insult? They had taken control of 4 planets other than their home planet, and were currently fighting on 4 other planets at the same time, and after thousands or even tens of thousands of battle records, the number of times the Empire was forced to retreat could be counted on the fingers and they were all after a heated battle, not in this way!!

From their perspective, what happened today was a devastating defeat... and the biggest problem is that it was at the hands of a bunch of locals!!

"Are these bastards really local?" The General muttered as he thought about this point, "Those engraved weapons, and the innovation called arrays and space portals, and they were also waiting for us... What is going on here?"

One of the sitting Martial Emperors heard the general muttering and quickly stood up, "General, our course has been set so that we can go to the western region to meet with the rest of the fleet, but doesn't this mean that we will be thrown into another unknown location?"

"Kisha did not report a problem with the other half of the fleet. This means they are safe." The General waved, "We are the ones who landed in the worst possible place."

"They did not send anything negative or even positive, they do not even respond to any calls at all. What does this mean?" Another officer intervened, "Maybe the Western Region has something that is blocking the movement of ship signals. How are we going to find them even if we go there? Look at how vast this planet is, are we going to take all our twenty ships in the Western Region on a search trip?"

*Baam* The General hit another table and broke it, "I know all this, but what do you want then? Should we have stayed put in a situation like this until I received a signal from the damned Kisha? If we don't go and look for them to unite the fleet and return to take our revenge, what else can we do?!"

 One of the officers took a step forward, "We are picking up signals from the Vanguard ship and know its precise location. I recommend that we retreat to the safe zone that Elite Force Number Seven has secured, and rearrange our papers there."

"What did you say?" The general's anger turned to killing intent

"Please put your personal problems aside for now and make the right choice." Another officer stood between them, "From the safe zone we can send one or two ships to search for the other half of the fleet while the soldiers can have their rest, and when the rest of the fleet comes to the safe zone we can use it as a point to launch attacks on the east and west. This is what should have happened from the beginning."

General Sully took a few steps and grabbed that Martial Emperor by the neck, "You, insignificant thing, are going to teach me about what should have happened? Do you know who I am?!"

"Khgghhhh.."

*standing* *standing*

The rest of the Martial Emperors in the cabin stood one behind the other, all of them wearing serious looks and furrowed brows, some of them even took a step forward.

General Sully looked around and saw the seed of rebellion being planted.

 He knew that if he tried to force them to do something using only his strength of authority right now, he would lose control of the Fourteenth Fleet, as well as the dream of the rank of marshal. Nah, He would most likely be court-martialed as a failed general and be executed.

On the other hand, his failure to land in the safe zone could have been ignored if he had made progress in the eastern region, but now that he has been defeated and gone to the safe zone, Seagal will laugh at him until his lips touch his ears, and this is in addition to the stigma that will adorn his file!

But this compared to the loss of the entire Fourteenth Fleet...

*Paa*

The General let go of his officer's nick and fell to the ground, catching his breath. Then he raised both his arms, "Bardon me, the defeat messed with my mind a little. It's good that you are with me to correct my mistake... Let's go towards the safe zone."

The officers looked at each other for a moment, then moved to pass orders.

--------------

Central Region--

*wind whistle sound*

Seagal stood on top of the city wall, looking right and left, moving his ears in all different directions, trying to see or hear something...

But still, there was nothing... The area around the city turned into a desert.

An hour ago, during the course of the normal daily battles, a report came that support had arrived, but they landed in the east and west. When he lost hope that they would come soon and returned to fight, he found that all the local forces had suddenly withdrawn and spread in all directions, even the tents, kitchens, and other logistical areas were nowhere to be found, they wrapped it up within minutes and took it with them.

On any other planet, Commander Seagal would have ordered that they be pursued or that an investigation be opened into what happened, but he remained where he was... An hour passed and he did not move a muscle or give any order, even his officers, each one of them remained standing in his place, and not one of them was seized by enthusiasm and tried to leave or go to the commander to request orders

They were all afraid that it was a trap, or that it was a new game that the person responsible for these training battles had thought of. They were afraid that if they went out, they would anger the men in black and that they would punish them by sending a larger army.

 What they did not know was that the place wasn't the only one that had been evacuated, but rather the entire central region was being evacuated at this moment, so if they left the walls now, they would be able to control the entire central region on their own!

But they will not move... The elite vanguard team, the team that is said to be equivalent to a fleet itself, has been morally broken.

"Hmm?" The next moment, Seagal heard a noise approaching from the east and turned towards him, "...Is this an Empire spaceship? ...It's the fleet! Support has arrived!!"

The next moment, the ships of the fleet had reached the city and were landing around it, and then Commander Seagal felt a giant hand descend on his shoulder, "Without idle introductions, give me a report of everything you know about this cursed place, and I mean EVERYTHING."
