Lord of the Truth

Chapter 900: Counter plan



Central Region--Planet Nihari

The huge planet Nihari is famous for its blue trees and ground, its immense gravity, and its countless treasures... and recently, for the warships roaming its skies, and the blood that falls like rain.

Less than two years have passed since the invasion of Planet Nihari began, and yet billions of intelligent races have been killed and the rest have been displaced, currently, there are only two groups who have not left their homes or been killed...

The first are the seven Northern Giant Tribes of Nihari who have not been attacked yet, and the second group is the Nihari Union Sect who have enjoyed safety since the war began.

As for everyone else, they have tasted hell before they were sent to it, even the warring Empires of the True Beginning and the Great Serpent have suffered heavy losses... And today those losses will continue.

"What's wrong with those damned things? Don't they care about their own lives?!" "Formation 6, advance a hundred miles to the left!!"

"We need support from the center!"

"Graaaa---!!"

At this moment, there was a big battle taking place in the central region... The entire central region.

Five days ago, the marshals gave orders to combine a number of their remaining armies to form three standard fleets, each consisting of 100 Martial Emperors, 120,000 Law-using soldiers, and 40 ships. And to appoint their three best generals as their leaders.

Just two days ago, those three fleets left the northern region, two of them headed towards the central region and one went to the western region, the goal was to tighten control over the western, central, and southern regions in one strike, and with that, they would have those three regions under complete control, they would have the eastern region under their indirect control, and they would also have half of the northern region... and with that, almost the entire planet would be theirs.

But it wasn't that easy, they didn't didn't allow it to be that easy...

The safe city feast that the Lord had provided for them, and after that, the war of erasure that they waged on nearly a hundred martial emperors and fifty thousand soldiers that were scattered in the central region provided them with a lot of nutrition, in addition to all the other corpses that were lying right and left on the entirety of the central region...

When demons and food come together, the results are always brutal.

Before the Battle of the Safe City, the number of demons was around 600, 200 of them were killed and 100 went on a mission with the Shadow Swords, leaving them with only 300 demon emperors... After all those feasts, the number of demon emperors reached 700!! Not to mention a huge number of the weaker demons who found enough food to become demon kings!

The three fleets that entered the central and western regions on what was supposed to be a routine survey and flag-raising mission, found themselves facing an army that outnumbered them many times over.

At first, Sakaar sent 200 Demon Emperors to the northern border with an army and sent another 100 Demon Emperors to the northwestern border. He ordered this with the intention of fighting an equal battle to train the newly transformed Demon Emperors.

But when the exhausted Great Serpent Generals saw this bloodthirsty crimson army before them, they ordered the ships to disperse and spread out throughout the central and western regions, attacking any Demon they saw in the rear ranks and trying to create scattered defensive lines... almost the same as what Marshal Dayroth did on Planet Jura, this is one of the plans followed by the Great Serpent Empire's army, exploiting the tremendous speed of the spaceships to the maximum to exhaust their enemies until they surrender.

But they made two mistakes this time... The first is that the Demons have nothing to cry over, and the second is that they have only seen a small part of the real Demon Army.

When he learned of what had happened, Amon immediately headed to the western region with a hundred other Demon Emperors as support, while Sakaar deployed the remaining Demon Emperors to spread on the entire central region, creating a giant network of connected military outposts.

You have 80 ships scattered around and each ship contains 3 thousand soldiers plus 2-3 Martial Emperors? Well then, I will make you 250 military outposts, each one containing 2 demon emperors and thousands of soldiers!!

Sakar's plan was simple and crazy, something that the generals of the Great Serpent Empire had never encountered before and had never calculated even in their wildest nightmares. No military leader would choose to scatter his soldiers in such an uncontrollable manner. Logic dictates that a military leader should gather his army around him and wait for the right moment to strike, just like Alexander did!

But unfortunately for them, Sakar is not a military leader, nor are those soldiers, and logic does not exist here... They are just hungry.

Sakar's crazy plan worked greatly, as hardly any ship advanced a few miles without finding a demon outpost waiting, within the first few hours of the Sakar's deployment, 12 ships were shot down and 7 outposts were destroyed!

One of the generals tried to regroup after noticing the losses, and after he was assured that he had penetrated deep enough into the central region. But like crazed dogs, all the demon hotbeds in the region attacked them one by one without caring about their lives, and within three hours they forced them to disperse again.

There is a term known to all military leaders, which is guerrilla warfare or urban warfare... When both armies spread out inside a city and lie in wait for each other in tall buildings or underground trenches, it is the worst kind of warfare with the most losses and slowest

progress.

It never occurred to the generals of the Great Serpent that they would engage in guerrilla warfare, such that that city would be the entire central region that is equal to the size of the Poison Rock planet... but that is exactly what was happening now.

"Damn!!!" General Therin struck one of the communication devices on his ship.
