Lord of the Truth

932  Next move

Two hours later-- Above the gate of the Imperial Capital

"..." Elizabeth looked inside the walls, towards the Imperial Capital that should be the symbol of the power and glory of that Empire, and there was nothing in front of her but ruins.

Except for the wall, which still maintained its strength without any noticeable damage, the only thing standing in the city was dark towers spread everywhere in a certain pattern. Other than that, streets, houses, commercial buildings, gardens, etc., no longer existed.

After Alexander managed to kill the Great Serpent Marshal and regained control of Planet Jura, he ordered the Imperial Capital to be cleaned up, all the debris was moved and all the half-destroyed buildings were leveled to the ground and disappeared, all the blood stains were washed away and all the remains were buried, Alexander explicitly declared that he would not allow this place to turn into another Jura City.

One Jura City is enough to show people the sad past of the planet and what it was like before the Empire of the True Beginning took over, but creating a new one would simply be an announcement of the failure of that system, so the Imperial Capital must be rebuilt, and it must be better than ever!

And that's what's happening now… In front of Elizabeth's eyes, there were a large number of people wearing the distinctive Sky Opening Tower coats walking around the city, looking for every possible way to improve the foundation.

"Oh, this wizel Sakaar… Alright, I admit it's a good move." At this moment, while Elizabeth was distracted, Caesar's voice caught her attention again.

"Agreed, I couldn't have done it any better." Alexander nodded, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his chin resting on one of his hands.

"I won't say it's not, but… errrgh!" Charles didn't seem too fond of Caesar and Alexander's reaction.

In front of her was a table where a large number of familiar people were gathered, a sight that made her smile automatically... Caesar, Alexander, Peon and Zara, Old Gu and Victoria, and the rest of the generals and the hearts of the most powerful warlords, and on the table itself was a large map showing the spread of the demon armies in Nihari.

Caesar called for an immediate meeting earlier, and after talking with Charles, he found no place other than the top of this gate to hold his meeting, simply because the entirety planet of Jura was destroyed, at least here the traces of destruction were completely removed, and also for an additional reason... Caesar said that it was to celebrate the announcement of the invasion of Greenland for the first time and that today should be the second launch of the True Beginning Empire!

Of course, it was all flowery talk, everyone knew the first reason was the correct one, and yet... even though there was not an inch of the planet that had not tasted the horrors of war, Elizabeth smiled, being in the company of this huge number of elites was always reassuring.

"Sister Ellie, are you with us?" Victoria snapped her finger in front of Elizabeth's absent-minded expression. "Hmm? Hehe of course I'm with you, I'm just enjoying some temporary peace, the last period has been very difficult.." Elizabeth raised her round, charming face towards the sky for a moment, before winking at Victoria with a charming smile, "What about you, are you focusing on the plan or the one who is talking about it?" "Ellie!!" Victoria opened her eyes wide and put her hand over Elizabeth's mouth.

Caesar and the rest pretended not to hear anything, then Caesar pointed towards the area controlled by Amon, "I think our next move should be here, I don't see any other way."

Alexander nodded... Morin guarded the south and Sakaar guarded the west and center and they couldn't do anything yet, only Amon was still moving comfortably above.

"Can't we attack from the center?" Raiden pointed to the area above Sakaar. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Too much pressure creates an explosion," Caesar shook his head, "Supreme General Sakaar is following a good system, if he tries to advance a little and engage the Great Serpent's forces, a huge battle will occur in which both sides will be destroyed, or the Great Serpent Empire's army will try to disperse and flee again all over the planet. If we join them, the result will be the same, one of the two outcomes is inevitable."

Peon intervened in a rough voice and pointed towards the dividing line between the eastern and northern areas, "Let's position ourselves there."

Immediately, Alexander and Caesar looked at him from the corner of their eyes, not knowing if he was speaking seriously or joking, but he seemed serious...

Peon's logic is simple and can be seen, he wants to besiege the eastern region from above as well after Moren besieged it from below, he also added that this move will push the army of the Great Serpent Empire further west which will make Amon and Sakaar's mission easier.

But that area was completely under the control of the Great Serpent Empire, in order to completely control the borderline they would have to engage in battles after battle in fierce guerrilla warfare, also even if the prevailed and took control of the Great Line, spreading the army over an extremely long distance would weaken it and make it an easy target! As usual, he wanted to sacrifice almost half of the army in order to obtain victory.

After Caesar looked at Peon's disfigured face for a long time, he turned to Zara: "Little sister, you should take good care of this boy, he worries me whenever he opens his mouth, find him a wife or something."

"Trust me I'm trying, but he scares them away!" The girl shook her head with a smile

"...." Peon shrugged and looked away as if to say this is your loss.

Old Gu took advantage of the brief silence to intervene, "If you allow this old man to say a word, I think the war has been prolonged and the soldiers are tired, especially after a huge battle on a hostile planet like Orphan Blood, we should take their mental and physical condition into account before sending them to the front lines again."

"They will rest after we win." Caesar looked back at the map, "If we slack off and lose the war, rest won't do them any good, we MUST go back to Nihari!" *Bzzzz*

At that moment a small space portal opened next to them, then Robin came out followed by Theo, "No, we don't have to go back to Nihari."
