Chapter 876: Sacrifices
*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*
All the spaceships simultaneously fired a barrage of shots toward the Martial Emperors of the True Beginning, the soldiers and Emperors of the Great Serpent Army didn\'t hold back either!
Facing the torrent of attacks that lit up the sky and the earth, the Martial Emperors of the True Beginning opened their mouths, and all power in their arms disappeared as at fell beside their waists, they knew that death was coming inevitably.
But Peon didn\'t have the same resigned expression, he was angry, "I was sure that I couldn\'t trust a snakeling like you, so I told the boys to stay ready, as you wish then, let\'s see who will bear the biggest losses today!!"
*BZZZZT* The instant space portal opened next to Peon and several shadows jumped out
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
*BOOOOM*
The barrage of attacks fell on the spot where the twelve Martial Emperors were located, causing an explosion no less significant than the cannon shot a moment ago, raising a storm of dust all around.
"Pointless effort, those I want dead will die." With wide eyes like blood cups, the marshal muttered indignantly, but a slight mocking smile began to appear on his face.
Man-to-man combat? That\'s fine, but that doesn\'t mean he\'ll let those rats live! Now that the resistance leader\'s hands and legs have been cut off by this swift attack, most of his ploys are done for, even if he survives today, he won\'t be able to do anything on his own.
In the best case scenario, he\'ll go berserk and continue attacking him alone, thinking he has a chance at a fair fight, but after luring him to a good location and during a good opportunity, he\'ll definitely give orders to surround and kill him!
If he leaves, it\'ll be useless, and if he gets angry and fights, he\'ll die... This is a foolproof plan, he already won!
"Hmm?" The marshal narrowed his brows slightly, and from beneath the dust a faint golden light began to shine *Shiiii~*
*BAAM* Suddenly a column of lightning broke through the dust storm and shot up into the sky, piercing two ships in a row!
"What?!"
*Baam* *Baam*
The marshal could barely comprehend what had just happened when more attacks surged from below, tearing through the dust storm, each of those mighty attacks claimed either a ship or at least several hundred soldiers!
But these attacks also caused the dust to clear completely... They were warlords!Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Four of them looked up, fully armored, each one holding a unique weapon and using a different law.
While the fifth warlord had his back to the marshal with his arms open, he was protecting the twelve martial emperors, but that came at a price... That warlord was now noticeably littered with corpses inside, a large portion of his arms and abdomen had fallen off, and his armor was destroyed, at least half of the saints and sages inside him had died while resisting that unified attack!
It wasn\'t long before the entire warlord array cracked and the soldiers inside fell to the ground gasping for breath from exhaustion and injuries, while the person at the center of the array fell on his face without moving... This Martial Emperor, the heart of the warlord array, had been honorably killed in battle.
"No..." Emily and the rest looked up in surprise as they saw the corpses falling from the Warlord, they immediately knew that Peon had preferred to sacrifice them so that they could live.
"...I gave the orders but I didn\'t force them, this is a debt that I will carry for the rest of my life, and I expect the same from all of you. If you want to repay their favor then live to serve the True Beginning Empire!" Peon gripped his sword tightly as he gritted his teeth, then pointed upwards and shouted angrily, "Kill them all!!"
"Hyeaaa!!!" The instant space portal lit up again, and under the protection of the four warlords, a large number of soldiers wearing wooden armor began to rush in from the other side in great numbers.
"We must repay the debt..." Emily slowly took off her glasses and put aside the bundle of papers she usually held, then pushed upwards, and from beneath the ground, giant plant roots rushed behind her.
The rest of the headquarters\' martial emperors gritted their teeth and rushed upwards angrily as well.
"You there, come on, let\'s finish what we started." Peon pointed at the marshal with his short black sword and with a *swoosh* disappeared in a gust of wind.
"With pleasure! Today you and your entire army will be annihilated here!!" The marshal was angry and frustrated that his plan had failed like this and the situation had turned into a direct confrontation, but he knew how it would end so he didn\'t look nervous.
Both sides would suffer some losses that\'s for sure, but after they take a certain amount of losses Peon and his men would start to withdraw, this was inevitable due to their small
numbers.
Once again, a great battle started mid-air, but this time it became larger in scale and more personal, the warlords wanted to avenge their comrades while the headquarters emperors wanted to show their usefulness and that the warlord\'s sacrifice was not in vain, as for the soldiers with wooden shields they were still pouring through the instant space portal with nothing to indicate that they would stop any time soon!
A full hour had passed since the battle restarted...
After 50,000 soldiers emerged from the instant space portal, the portal closed and returned to Peon\'s Space Ring again.
50,000 soldiers, 12 Martial Emperors, 4 Warlords... against 150,000 soldiers, 350 Martial Emperors and dozens of space warships...
If it had been a truly open battle, the True Beginning Empire\'s side would have been crushed by now, but because the soldiers were using the Warlords as shields and because the fighting was taking place in the heart of the fleets now and they couldn\'t open fire fully, the battle continued, but it didn\'t seem that it would continue for a long time after... The four Warlords were filled with corpses and their strength was beginning to weaken.
The Marshal\'s fight against Peon wasn\'t a walk in the park either, the image of Durger the Devourer that was activated with a large amount of Marshal\'s blood was something that was impossible to approach by Peon, but Peon\'s soul attacks were also sharp and can\'t be
defended.
Peon merely evaded the Great Serpent and launched soul attacks from afar, while the Marshal merely raised his soul defenses and focused on dodging Peon\'s attacks as much as possible, the fight, in general, was all about the ability to escape!
But if one had to pick a winner, it was Peon... Not a hair of his had been touched yet, while the Marshal had turned into a demon from the amount of blood flowing from his eyes and ears.
"Aaaahhh!!!" the Marshal shouted loudly as he received another soul attack, "Bring back my ship\'s cannon again! Kill them all and help me here!!!"
The crew of the Marshal\'s ship understood immediately what their leader was getting at, and immediately channeled all the energy essence they had left into the ship\'s main cannon, ready to fire another fatal shot.
"Are you crazy? You\'re going to lose at least a quarter of your army if they fire!" Peon almost lost his mind as he saw the ship\'s cannon being aimed at the heart of the fray, where the four warlords, the martial emperors, and the rest of his exhausted army were.
If this shot was fired now, most of them would be killed and the rest would be severely damaged. The Great Serpent Emperors would definitely not let this opportunity pass... If this shot escaped the cannon\'s muzzle, the foundation of the True Beginning Army in Greenland
would be finished!
"Fire!!" The Marshal paid no attention to Peon.
The ship\'s crew didn\'t care about their colleagues either. This wasn\'t the first time they had followed the Marshal and learned his style.
*BZZZZTT*
The cannon\'s muzzle began to glow intensely blue until it became like another sun in the sky.
"Hahaha, now where are you going, poor thing?" The Marshal laughed out loud, "After all these sacrifices, I will ask His Majesty to grant me this planet to refine for myself, this
paradise will be mine! Hahaha"
*Vroom* At this moment the space between the Marshal and me split and a smiling figure came out, "Excuse me, I heard you talking about my property."
