The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 319 The Last Stand

Chapter 319 The Last Stand

??As time passed, the war continued to remain in a stalemate.

With Khan's acquiescence, they didn't need to do anything and only stall for time.

Knowing this, Antonio heaved a sigh of relief, doing all he could to stall the Moonlight Empire.

Unfortunately for them, the Moonlight Empire is ready for the kill.

While they were stalling for time, army recruitment was progressing all over the Empire.

Billions of people were recruited and trained every day.

People working hard to earn ten thousand battle points to be eligible for the army.

The newly recruited army trained to follow commands and the specifics.

...

Soon a few months passed, two years since Maximus disappeared.

The army enlistment was over, after recruiting over 30 trillion people.

With less than a hundred trillion of population.

It could be said that over 50 percent of the people in the empire joined the war.

What was left were civilians and children who were too weak or hadn't reached the tier 3 realm.

This war was also their last stand if they couldn't still defeat the enemy, it would be over.

Perhaps only the missing Omnipotent Mighty Emperor can save them once this happened.

...

In the wide open space of the ascending land, on the border of the Moonlight Empire.

Trillions of people lay low as they listened to Field Marshal Isabella mobilize their morale.

"Throughout all these years, we are the only ones being attacked."

"Year after year, they continue to provoke us."

"They treated us as pigs locked up in a cage who can't do anything but defend."

"Like a monkey that could entertain them."

"Are you angry?!"

"WE ARE ANGRY!!!"

"Do you hate them?!"

"WE HATE THEM!!!"

"Then, Pick up the cannons, bring out your strength and will!"

"With your participation, it's time for the Westle Empire to feel our wrath."

"Today, we will bring forth an end to this war!"

A wave of cheer erupted as they felt their blood boiling.

Holding their cannons, feeding them with their strength, they looked far away, eager to crush the enemy.

"Death to the Westle Empire!"

"DEATH TO THE WESTLE EMPIRE!"

"For the Moonlight Empire!"

"FOR THE MOONLIGHT EMPIRE!"

"Destroy the enemy!"

"DESTROY!"

....

At the front line:

After the mobilization, Johnson quickly ordered the army to retreat.

Seeing this, the enemy was a little puzzled.

"Huh? Why are they retreating?"

"Is this a conspiracy or something?"

"Do we follow them?"

"What do you think, Commander?"

Antonio also fell into deep thought, considering whether they should follow the enemy or stay in place.

"Let's stay here; it might be a trap," Antonio finally decided.

As he saw the enemy retreat, he felt the threat of death.

Antonio was sure that once he followed, hell would break loose.

Anyway, they only needed to stall for time until the Emperor was prepared.

Getting back to his cabin, Antonio still felt uneasy.

The gloom in his heart didn't seem to dissipate, as his heart thumped wildly.

"Couldn't it be the god of death?" Antonio muttered, remembering the man who killed him in silence.

"Oh? You're quite keen," Nathan, who was hidden in the shadows, appeared.

"It's you!" Antonio shouted as his body trembled in fear.

"Indeed, it's me, surprise?"

"I-"

"Enough chit-chat, Die..." Nathan said coldly, ending his life.

Antonio didn't seem to notice his life passing away as his eyes still widened with his head falling off.

Looking at the dead body, Nathan clicked his tongue.

This time, Nathan used his power of law in conjunction with his physique to kill Antonio.

Unless Khan invested heavily, Antonio would forever fall into darkness.

"Five more to go..."

Nathan quickly shuttled around the ship like it was his home, finding all the backup commanders.

With the key information from Neo, Nathan quickly found his target.

Soon, all the people who could quickly take over the Puppet army welcomed their death kiss.

...

Meanwhile, in the puppet control center:

As soon as Antonio died, an emergency protocol was quickly prompted.

"The commander is dead!"

"What?!"

"An enemy ambush!!"

"Not good, we've lost the key control to the puppets!"

"Call the other commanders!"

Earlier, because of Antonio's death, the puppets didn't activate, rendering them useless.

Thus, a few backup commanders were set up to quickly take over control of the puppet army in case of emergency.

However, as seconds and minutes passed after calling the backup commanders.

The only thing they received was silence.

"Could it be that they're also dead?"

"D-dead?"

"It's over..."

"No, we still have a choice!"

"Whether to disable the puppet army or push them out to the enemy!"

"That's right, there's still this option!"

Anticipating this event, before Antonio's death, he set out the command 'Do or Die' to the puppet army.

The remaining personnel on board could choose one of the two commands depending on the status of the battle:

Whether to 'do', which meant fight the enemy to death, or 'die', wait for the follow-up reinforcement and wait for death.

Thinking of the last command of their commander, they couldn't help but hesitate.

"Should we leave the puppet army be or attack?"

"Do you think we have a choice?"

"No! The enemy could kill us at any moment!"

"Instead of dying like this, It's better to die fighting."

"Even if it's the last thing we do, we must let these bastards know the power of our god!"

"For the glory of the Puppet God!"

After operating the puppet army, the puppet's mechanical eyes went red and went berserk.

The control command also lost control over them.

Now unless the puppets get destroyed, they would destroy everything in their path.

Looking at this, Nathan couldn't help but nod.

"Since you're so obedient, I'll let you die peacefully," Nathan thought as he brandished his blade.

Soon, blood flowed in the room as they witnessed the heads of their comrades fall one after another.

"The D-devil!"

...

In other ships:

Noticing that the enemy retreated, there was a puzzled expression on the faces of the believers.

"What happened? Could the Moonlight Empire brewing some conspiracy?"

Seeing the puppet army stop at the front, they also halted.

"Just what happened?"

The believers asked one after another, using their means to ascertain the reason for the Moonlight Empire's retreat.

However, after their search, there seemed to be no problem.

The battle was still in a stalemate, neither side could win each other.

Furthermore, if you look closely, it's obvious that the Moonlight Empire is winning slowly.

Yet in the blink of an eye, they retreated suddenly.

"Could it be that they're exhausted?"

After all, firing the arcane cannon is not just about mana.

The accumulated fatigue and stress have various consequences that not even a tier 9 elixir can cure.

"Maybe, Anyway let's follow the Puppets"

"If there is something wrong we could still escape."

Not finding anything wrong and seeing the puppet army advance again, they followed unconsciously.

Getting close to the Moonlight Empire was their main goal.

Once they were on the land, those hateful army legions wouldn't be able to use their heavenly formation unscrupulously.

It was so destructive that it could harm a tenth of their land if they were not careful.

Judging by the attitude of the inhabitants of the Moonlight empire, destroying their land just to defeat the enemy is a losing situation.

As they got closer and closer to the Moonlight Empire, they didn't notice that the ships controlling the puppets stopped moving.

They were still leisurely, thinking that it was their time to finally fight.

However, Divine Priest Looyt had a bad premonition.

He felt his heart getting tighter and tighter as they were entering the mouth of a beast.

Just as he was about to speak and warn the others.

The sky lit up, overshadowing everything like a signal to an apocalypse.

BOOOM!

The shockwave made the sea shake, forming tsunamis and wormholes.

Not having the chance to utter another word, another explosion was heard.

BOOOM!

"No, it's a trap!"

Each second, explosions were heard, like a hammer beating their hearts.

The puppet army was like a locust against a fire; despite hundreds of millions of casualties, they didn't retreat.

"Where is Antonio? Make the puppet retreat!"

At this point, the puppets could only last a few seconds.

Billions of puppets will be pulverized when bombarded to this degree.

Looking up, the sky seemed to be raining fire of destruction.

"Not good, Antonio can't be contacted!"

"This—"

"What about the others?"

"T-They can't be contacted either."

"Furthermore, the commanding ship doesn't seem to be with us."

"Damn! What a conspiracy!"

"What a cunning Moonlight Empire! Just what evil method did they use?"

"Hmph! Now that we are close to the land, let's fight!"

"His Majesty is with us; we are immortal!"

"That's right, we are immortal!"

Suddenly, they seemed to be enlightened.

The fear in their hearts dissipated, replaced by confidence, overwhelming confidence.

They seemed to be omnipotent beings who could destroy everything in their path.

"Since the puppets were useless, then it's time for us to prove our strength..."
