Chapter 873: Peon's way

?

"~Wind Blades~" A musical sound branched out between the sky and the earth for a moment and entered the ears of all the soldiers, after that all they heard was:

*Seeeek* *Seeeek* *Seeeek*

*Boom*

"We're under attack!"

"Ship No. 33 of the 13th Fleet has gone down!!"

"Ship No. 17 of the 11th Fleet has been partially destroyed!!"

"Prepare for another shock---" *Boom*

"Whooo~" Outside, Peon let out a deep sigh, then raised his voice again, "Destroy them."

"Eliminate them all!!" From the dense forest beneath Peon, tens of thousands of people wearing wooden armor and wielding wooden weapons rushed out, but anyone who underestimated these weapons was destined to pay a heavy price.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

These soldiers attacked the rear ships with all their might, however, most of their attacks only caused scratches at best. Those ships that were designed to penetrate the fabric of space at high speeds would not fall to such random attacks.

But the true purpose of the attacks was soon revealed.

*Keshshshhhh*

"That gate is opening, get ready!!"

As soon as the ship's gate opened in preparation for the Great Serpent soldiers to land and engage, thousands of wooden-armored soldiers rushed towards the gate and began attacking the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers before they got out of the ship. Some brave wooden armored soldiers took an extra step and flew inside the ship, using their bodies as human shields to help those coming from behind!

"Push those lunatics back! Damn it!!"

"Close the gates again!!!"

*Rumble* *Rumble*

At this moment, the sky began to overcast and rain began to fall heavily. The wind also picked up and lightning began to strike the ships!

"Everything is going well so far." Emily raised her glasses with one hand while holding several reports with the other, "The fog's turn is coming in 3~2~1~"

*Shhhh~~*

All of a sudden everyone's vision began to blur, It wasn't until a few more seconds later that the fog really started to form thickly, it didn't take long before it covered everything and the vision became non-existent, only the attacks of flames, lightning and light could be noticed every now and then randomly launching amidst the screams for help.

What was happening now was one of the usual suicide raids that Peon had been in charge of since he woke up from his coma.

The idea was based on his brother Theo's basic idea, which was not to allow them to settle down, this meant that they would remain most of the time in their ships moving from one location to another to destroy it or to search for an area that was easy to defend, and here came Peon's crazy idea, as he said to his brother, "You continue to displace them and I will take care of reducing their numbers."

Then he continued to explain... he wanted to take advantage of the large numbers of soldiers on the planet Greenland under the Martial Emperor's Realm, and the presence of Evergreen, whom Robin had talked about several times in front of everyone.

He asked Theo to find out the ships' movements and called on Evergreen to support them as much as she could when the battles began... As for his part, it was to lead small armies to their demise.

Peon then asked Emily to deploy the headquarters Martial Emperors all over planet Greenland to gather the armies of the Four Kingdoms, then divide them up and spread them out across the planet so that each army has 20-40 thousand soldiers, and that they remain stationed and await their next orders.

When Theo learns the ships' path, he informs Peon, who in turn uses an instant space portal to teleport to the nearest army to the fleets' location, then leads them himself to intercept their path and attack them from below or behind with the help of Evergreen's support.

This repeated method of short, decisive, concentrated attack has caused a lot of damage to the fleets of the Great Serpent Empire, each time the attack occurs, several ships are destroyed or damaged and several thousand soldiers are killed.

But it is *short and decisive* for a reason, after the Generals understand what is happening, the Martial Emperors are deployed, and the space warships are positioned, the local army would be completely wiped out.

So far, Peon has used this operation 7 times, killing at least 200 thousand saints or Sages from the Greenlandic people. The strange thing is that they knew what would happen to them, and yet it never happened that one of them escaped.

Peon couldn't help but admire the Greenland soldiers who, along with their ancestors, were desperately fighting the Tree Fathers every day, but he also had no choice but to throw them to their deaths every now and then-

"Looks like today's outcome will be good." One of the headquarters Martial Emperors laughed out loud

After the initial strike that took down 3 ships, Peon now stood with 13 Martial Emperors just watching the battle, ready to intervene in case of support, and they stood close together to make it easier for them to escape via the instant space portal when the time comes.

"We'll only lose another 35,000 good men..." A long-haired Martial Emperss muttered, hearing the soldiers' dying screams were painful to the ears and hearts, "Isn't there another way? I feel like I'm leading those good men to their deaths myself."

"With this bold method, we were able to shoot down 27 ships and kill at least 40 thousand soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire. If we had coordinated a direct battle, we would not have been able to scratch that number. The brothers from Greenland should thank General Peon for using them to protect their homeland in this way." Emily adjusted her glasses more than once during her short speech, "Anyway, according to statistics, such attacks will not be repeated, this will be the last one. The space portal is about to be completed."

When the rest of the headquarters' Martial Emperors heard this, their eyes lit up.

But Peon did not share their optimism, "Don't expect any support soon. Evergreen said that the same attack took place on the Orphan Blood and Jura. Do you think His Excellency will be able to muster an army anytime soon to help us? Also-" Peon was interrupted by a message through the Sound Ring.

He was silent for a few seconds until he heard it fully, then looked up and spoke in an audible voice, "Evergreen, do you hear me?"

*Frr~*

The dense fog formed into the shape of a smiling little girl with deer horns, "I hear loud and

clear-"

"...I got word that the space portal has been completed, would you please pass the news on to His Excellency? Of course, I don't need to tell you the coordinates of the portal." Peon didn't look too excited as he said this happy news, but the Martial Emperors behind him opened

their mouths in joy.

"Aiyuu-"Evergreen gave a military salute with a laugh and then disappeared again.

"Calm down and focus on what we have in hand, if support comes in any form then that's our good fortune, and if it doesn't then we will continue in the same manner until we eliminate

the last one of the invaders," Peon spoke sternly.

"...or they eliminate the last one of us." One of the Martial Emperors muttered to his

colleague.

"Come on get ready, the ships in front must have started to turn and empty the troops now,

we need to leave--"

*Boom*

At that moment a huge explosion went off, sending Peon and the rest flying backward.
