Chapter 874: Energy Essence

?

The resulting battle of 35,000 Greenlandic law-users attacking dozens of warships carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers was already shocking enough. During the few minutes the battle lasted, Peon saw thousands of explosions glowing for a moment behind the fog before disappearing, he saw the shadows of torn corpses falling like rain.

However, that massacre was destined not to be the headline of today's battle:

*Tshhhee..*

"Beware! Beware---!!!" Peon opened his eyes wide as his soul caught the approaching cannon shot, but it was too late.

*BOOM*

The giant cannon shot was targeting the battlefield, not distinguishing between friend and foe.

At that moment, all the Martial Emperors on that side were pushed back like puppets whose strings had been cut in the middle of a tornado, as for everyone who wasn't a Martial Emperor, they completely vanished.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *CRRRREK*

Four ships instantly exploded into dust, while eleven other ships were damaged and fell, causing a series of further explosions.

The pressure waves from the massive explosion pushed the fog away and pushed the clouds away, the field of vision returned to the battlefield once again, but all the voices fell silent.

The Martial Emperors, soldiers, ship commanders, and even the generals opened their mouths in shock, unable to comprehend what had happened yet... That single shot had wiped out nearly 10% of their army!!

"What the hell happened?!" The fleet general who was guarding the rear shouted in anger, most of those losses were from his fleet, "Who ordered this attack?!"

"I did!" The marshal's ship slowly approached the rear of the army and the marshal came out of it, "Does anyone have a problem?!"

He was the height of an average person, his eyes wide as if they had no eyelids, and his body was thin and weak without a tail. If it weren't for his mighty aura, everyone would have thought he was just an ordinary soldier whose race had recently been upgraded.

"..." The general swallowed his anger and merely squeezed both of his hands, the rest of the soldiers and martial emperors also closed their mouths.

Even the three emperors' friends who were caught in the middle of the explosion and suffered severe burns didn't say a word and went to treat them in silence.

Marshal Spinak is known for his brutality and sacrificing anything he sees fit as long as the return is greater than what was sacrificed a true gambler... They just don't realize what the return is from destroying 10% of his own army like this!!

...Marshal Spinak ignored everyone and then looked in a certain direction, "The local commander called Peon, I have used up half of the energy essence stock that we have painstakingly collected in this attack but I don't mind using more, will you get out for me or shall I get you out?"

When everyone heard about the consumption of half of the energy essence stock, they involuntarily looked towards the destruction with one sentence in their heads... *No wonder!* Energy essence is a concentrated natural energy in a liquid state, it is the fuel mainly used in spaceships and it is also the most used fuel for tools, vehicles, and anything that consumes energy to work in general.

This is because energy essence burns easily and generates even more energy than energy pearls in the short term. What makes pearls unique and more valuable is that they store a huge amount of natural energy inside them and can recharge themselves if left for a while, unlike energy essence which is hard to transport and when used dissipates and leaves no trace.

if someone wants a huge boost of energy to travel quickly, for example, or refine something, or even wants to absorb energy quickly for cultivation, then the liquid energy essence is what they want.

Liquid energy essence is usually found in scattered places deep inside the ground and is either mined randomly or by tracing the history of the planet. Finding a well of liquid energy essence would be a great achievement for anyone in the Great Serpent Empire, and would be worth a large dose of Durger the Devourer's blood, but of course, such incidents do not happen every day, or even every century...

The second method is to create factories dedicated to converting natural atmospheric energy into energy essence but obtaining is hard, plus it's very slow, and trying to feed a large planetary empire in this way is a mere illusion...

But after arriving on Planet Greenland, they discovered that there was a third option... The planet was filled with energy-essence lakes!

Yes... Not wells, not springs, full lakes!!

Seeing the first energy essence lake was a huge shock to everyone who saw it, how could they know that the planet owner Robin was the one who asked Evergreen to create these lakes to trap part of the energy essence before it leaked into the ground?

The ships of the three fleets landed next to one of the lakes, they filled their engines, energy stores, and even the reserve stores and filled all the cannons, even those who had water bottles filled them with the precious energy essence, and yet the lake did not decrease an inch! So when the Marshal mentioned that he had used half of the energy essence stores in one go, their joints trembled... What was he thinking?!

*Craaaack*

Several charred trees started to move and were then thrown aside *Baaa* and from underneath them emerged Peon, covered in wounds and with several fractures and cracks on the golden parts of his armor, he stood there looking at the marshal with mixed feelings... Should he be angry that he had been injured... or grateful that the marshal had caused more damage to his army than he had planned?

*Craaaack* *Craaaack*

Next to Peon, the ground and trees began to shake, and the True Beginning Martial Emperors emerged from beneath them one by one, looking around in despair. They were seriously injured and completely surrounded, while the monstrous cannon of that ship was still pointed

at them.
