In the Military outpost:
Isabella was conducting a meeting with various officials and generals of the Empire.
“Are you sure, Neo?”
“Yes, The Emperor of the Westle Empire should move this time.”
“The enemy should also fully utilize the Amalgamation of Will.”
“As for its abilities, you should already know,” Neo said lazily.
Perhaps even if the world were destroyed in front of him, Neo would only think it’s bothersome.
Unless his family were in the face of death, only then Neo’s face would change.
Neo already made multiple calculations about it.
No matter how many calculations he made, the fate of the death in his family never appeared.
This war would only affect the Empire at most.
As for their fate, whether it’s victory or death, Neo didn’t care.
He and his family had already done their best.
If it still gets destroyed, that’s only because the Empire his father created is weak and fragile.
However, others who heard what Neo had said had different expressions.
There was gloominess, a bit of confidence, and a hint of expectation.
For the generals and officials born in the empire, this is their home.
They had no other choice but victory; losing was not an option.
As for Maximus’ wives, as much as possible, they wanted the Moonlight Empire to win the war.
This is the place their husband had set up with blood and sweat.
They didn’t want it to get destroyed just because he was not here.
Finally, after a bit of contemplation, Isabella looked around.
“First, test the strength of the enemy.”
“If there is not much change, then we continue as it is.”
“If there is a change, retreat immediately.”
“We can’t have more losses than it is.”
Isabella had to admit that even with all kinds of trump cards, the Moonlight Empire had no chance of winning.
It’s not the puppets, the believers of gods, or even the unknown reinforcement of the enemy.
No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t possibly reach the realm of tier 9 apex sovereign.
With the trump card Maximus prepared, killing those who didn’t reach apex would be nothing.
However, after seeing the Emperor of the Westle Empire, Isabella’s confidence in winning is shattered.
The enemy is not something they can fight head-on.
Even one or two apex sovereigns aren’t enough for that kind of anomaly.
Without Maximus, the only thing they can do now is to preserve.
Preserve until he can return.
On the border of the Moonlight Empire:
Hundreds of thousands of ships were still on high alert, scanning for the slightest hint of the enemy.
Although it’s been almost half a year since the last clash between the two empires,
They still vividly remembered all the tragedies and casualties that it caused.
“When do you think the Westle Empire would attack us, Captain?”
“I don’t know, but it should be soon,” Captain Kirk replied worriedly.
As a captain, he was already informed that one of these days, the enemy would come to attack.
Not only was the enemy more in quantity, but it was also stronger than it ever was.
Although he didn’t know where the Empire got its information,
Kirk knew one thing: this time, it was the fight of life and death.
Either the Moonlight Empire emerges victorious or is destroyed from history.
…
Soon, the Army of the Westle Empire slowly marches to the Moonlight Empire.
The two massive empires are divided by a vast sea ranging hundreds of trillions of kilometers.
For a tier 8 powerhouse, such a distance could be quickly reached in just a week or two.
Looking at the Empire in front of them, the believers of Gods who just reached the border of the Moonlight Empire smiled.
“So this is the land that we would conquer?”
“Such a small, tiny land, not even reaching a tenth of the Westle Empire?”
“Antonio, you’ve been battling with the Moonlight Empire for years; what can you say?”
“Don’t ever underestimate this little Empire…” Antonio said seriously.
Antonio, who had just been resurrected, still had some fear of the unknown Moonlight Empire.
In the years they fought, there was not one time he felt he was winning.
Every time he gained the upper hand, the Moonlight Empire would show strength just enough to crush him.
Even with Emperor Khan’s reinforcement, Antonio was unsure if they could defeat the Moonlight Empire.
“Hahaha, it seemed you still have trauma with the Moonlight Empire!”
“If you’re this cowardly, you should get out of here and let others control the puppets!”
“That’s right. A cowardly person has no room in this war.”
“What are you fearful about? His Majesty already guaranteed that we would never die!”
Unlike Antonio, although they also died in the surprise attack of the Moonlight Empire, they didn’t sustain any trauma to their death.
Although it hurts and is very scary to die.
Once they knew that they could be resurrected again, there would no longer be such fear.
“You don’t understand…” Antonio sighed, not knowing how to refute them.
Antonio would also like to back out of this war like the three priests who returned to the Divine Continent.
Unfortunately, because he was the one who experienced the most of what the Moonlight Empire is.
Antonio had to attend and lead this messed up battle, regardless of whether he liked it or not.
As for the trauma, Antonio didn’t know why, but even with a guarantee of resurrection from the Emperor of the Westle Empire,
Antonio felt his life hanging by a thread, only waiting for the devil to cut it out.
…
In the Moonlight Empire Border:
Johnson quickly instructed the navy to be in formation as he saw the sightings of the enemy.
“This time, the enemy should be stronger.”
“Always be alert for changes and wait for my instructions.”
“Yes, General Johnson!” The captains of each ship replied.
Soon, the enemy reached the range of the Arcane Cannons.
“Fire!”
A salvo of condensed energy quickly bombarded the enemy.
As the smoke faded, the captains saw little to no damage to the enemy.
“Huh? They are more durable?”
“Did the puppets receive an upgrade?” ᴡ ᴏᴠʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀʀ ᴘᴜʙʟsʜᴅ ᴏ NoᴠFre.nt
Looking at the puppet, who became stronger.
Instead of fear, the people of the Moonlight Empire became more excited, feeling a new challenge.
“It doesn’t matter if you become stronger.”
“If you only have this strength, you will be finished.”
In these half a year, it’s not only the enemy who became stronger.
Half a year is plenty of time for an individual to increase strength.
Especially blessed by the Amalgamation of Will and almost unlimited resources.
There is no stopping the people, especially the soldiers of the Moonlight Empire, from improving their strength.
In the past, only about ten billion tier 6 soldiers were in the army.
However, after half a year, all the 100 billion members of the Navy reached tier 6.
The number of tier 7 powerhouses has also increased by leaps and bounds.
From about a million, now a whopping 100 million people have reached the tier 7 realm.
With more people in power, the Arcane cannons also increased from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.
Now, each ship had at least a hundred Arcane Cannons.
Furthermore, with more experience, the operation of the Arcane Cannons became faster and easier.
Instead of a 2-3 second firing time, the Arcane Cannons could now be fired in a second.
Looking at the haughty enemy marching, taking their first salvo like pebbles thrown by children, the soldiers of the Moonlight Empire just smiled.
“Let them taste the fear of firepower!”
“Men, it’s time to show why one should never attack the Moonlight Empire!”
“Fire!”
With the order from Johnson, the captains didn’t hold back any longer and fired at will.
It didn’t matter if the enemy didn’t receive much damage.
Even a spit could drown a person.
Much less the concentration of firepower from a hundred-
billion army.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Like a surging sea, the enemy stopped abruptly as if encountering an invisible wall.
The puppets in front fell like flies encountering poison.
Even Sam didn’t let the puppets take action, looking at the enemy drowned in the firepower barrage.
“Damn, this is insane!”
“Hahaha, what a weak puppets!”
“Is this what ultimate firepower is about?!”
As they watched the enemy falling like flies, they felt as though they were cheating.
“Alright, concentrate!”
“This is just the beginning.”
…
Meanwhile, Antonio, seeing the puppet army fall like flies, was still calm.
“Push harder and faster!” Antonio ordered calmly.
Instead of ordering the puppets to spread, dispersing the enemy’s firepower.
Antonio ordered the puppet to push harder as if wanting to let them die faster.
Even his subordinates paused a little, not understanding the command.
However, after some thinking, they understood what their commander had planned.
It didn’t matter if the puppets fell; as long as they reached the range of the enemy, they would be finished.
With His Majesty on their back, the puppets are immortal.
Thinking that the enemy once employed this tactic, they couldn’t help but smile.
“Hmph! You reap what you sow!”
“Now it’s time for you to taste what it feels like to be cheating!”
“Immortal Puppets, it’s time to show your power…”
