Chapter 872: The green hell


    ?


    *Shiiii~~*


    The soldier''s head fell from a great height, his eyes and mouth wide open, he doesn''t know how he was killed *Paa* and at the moment he hit the ground, his eyes were fixed on the head of his colleague who was talking to him a moment ago.


    Everything happened quickly, it is unknown whether the two still had some consciousness as they looked at each other knowing for sure that they were dead, it is unknown the seas of words, despair, and shock that they thought about as life flowed out...n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    As for their killer above, he didn''t care about what was happening to those two... He stood with his long ck hair and ck eyes as dark as a moonless night, the bottom half of his face was covered by a mask and he was wearing a loose ck robe and several pieces of scattered ck armor, he just looked at his dead for a second holding his two long daggers, then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers pointing upwards, "Continue cleansing, I want Labikan''s body free of any filth within 30 minutes."


    *Swoosh* *Swoosh*


    The shadows next to the young man shook and jumped up without saying a word.


    Then the young man with long ck hair inserted his soul sense into his ring, "Peon, the news has been confirmed, there is arge force heading towards the northwest region, there is no major target in that direction other than Lagoon City... Do what you have to do."


    "Understood." The reply came to him quickly


    "...Don''t die." Then he took out his spirit sense again and jumped up inplete silence, more victims waiting for him...


    Naturally, this was Theo doing his favorite task since the war began, terrorizing and wiping out!


    For any invading enemy, the army must first seize the defenses in thend they conquered, and if there are no defenses, they must build one and take refuge behind it before moving on to conquer morends, of course, the Great Serpent Empire was no exception.


    As they did in Nihari and Jura and even Orphan Blood, here in Greend too the ships would choose well-defended cities, kill everyone in it, then fortify them further themselves before sending more soldiers in different directions to repeat the action, so they would haveplete control over the entire area around those cities, only this way can they say that they had a percentage of control over a.


    But Theo would not allow that...


    Whenever the Great Serpent Empire''s army attacked a city, killed its inhabitants, and began to take it as a headquarters, Theo would wait until the main army came out to look for their next target, then take the avable Shadow Swords and go clear that city of soldiers and destroy any spaceships or weapons they left behind!


    The number of soldiers left behind is notrge, but time after time, city after city, Theo and his small team of shadow swords umted thousands of deaths on their hands, destroyed 9 ships, and seized countless amounts of equipment.


    The only time the Marshals and his Generals sat in one city to defend it, Evergreen flooded that city with waves of beasts and insects until they were forced to flee.


    The point of all this is that the Great Serpent Empire has not enjoyed a headquarters for a single day since their arrival, even after the terrible destruction they caused, technically they did not control any spot on the Greend! And the city on Tree Father Labikan will not be an exception today.


    Inside the Marshal''s Ship--


    *Vroom* *Vroom*


    The ship was flying slowly at a low altitude, and behind it were dozens of spaceships, as if they were sending a challenge to anyone with a bow or even a pebble to attack them! *Baaam*


    "...!!" Without warning, the Marshal crushed his seat rest, then stood up and walked slowly until he stood in front of the ss of his ship, observing the atmosphere


    "..." His assistants didn''t say a word either, they pressed their knees in silence without daring to breathe loudly


    They had just received news that the headquarters they had recently established on that huge tree was under attack, which meant that they were back to being wanderers with no ce to go again!


    It was almost a month on this, and so far he hadn''t achieved anything except killing a handful of local mortals!!


    After a while of silence, the Marshal clenched both his hands, "...That''s the next city we''re heading towards, after wiping it outpletely we''ll leave half the forces there."


    "Marshal, please reconsider!" One of the Marshal''s assistants, a mid-level Martial Emperor, quickly stood up, "We saw what happened the first time we gathered in the same ce for only two days, this is almost hostile torge gatherings!"


    "Hostile my ass!" the Marshal shouted, "How could it be because of the gathering? How do they live inrge cities then? And what about the fog and thunderstorms that appear every time we are attacked by the locals? Is it because of the gatherings as well? It''s clear that these reactions are happening because of our presence, it''s the interference of the''s spirit!" "The''s spirit? Butary spirits can''t act like this!" the assistants looked at each other,ary spirits usually just watch in silence even if all the locals are wiped out. "That the''s spirit is interfering is beyond doubt, the question here is: why?" The Marshal''s eyebrows sunk deeply, "...I''m afraid this has been refined."


    "What?! Impossible!!" The assistants were shocked by the Marshal''s words, and one of them quickly followed up, "This young empire is not even one century old, and ording to what we extracted from the locals, they have not even upied this for twenty years!" Everyone knows that His Majesty Paythor took 6,000 years toplete the process of refining the Poison Rock, and this was after receiving help from the Overlord! "That''s what we need to know, how... and who?... I fear that the war to seize the has be too much for us to handle, we must involve His Majesty Paythor in our matter and let him decide." The Marshal began tapping his foot, "We will take control of the next city with half of the forces, and send the other half to take control of the nearest city and create a close supplywork between the two, this way we will be able to withstand the schemes of the Spirit for some time... and after that we will send the fastest reconnaissance ship we got to report on what is happening."


    "..." The assistants looked at the ground again, sending a request for help was a great shame for any soldier, let alone a marshal who was supposed to rule a of his own... How would he look in front of the other marshals? They must have destroyed thes they were sent


    to by now.


    But it''s been almost a month and he hasn''t been able to aplish anything, if he doesn''t exin the situation to His Majesty now, he won''t be able to bear the consequences.


    *Boom*


    "Marshal, we''re under attack!!"
