Chapter 256: Diplomacy Amidst Devastation
Teigu World, Imperial Capital.
When news of the great defeat at Mount Farm spread, the entire Imperial Capital was thrown into panic.
This only fueled rumors that the world government was invincible and that the entire world would soon be conquered by invaders from other worlds.
At this moment, inside the imperial palace, hidden in the space of the Hachimon no Nirvana, the current emperor was reading the war reports in the throne room with a grave expression.
The atmosphere in the room became more oppressive and solemn.
Finally, the emperor let out a long sigh, causing the high-level officials to look up.
"General Bulat has fallen in battle, his body has not been recovered, and General Esdeath is missing, her condition uncertain. Luckily, we still have General Budo to hold the army's flag high; otherwise, I really don't know what else we could do." The emperor said as he put down the documents and rubbed his temples.
"Your Majesty, we attempted to use a divination Teigu to calculate General Esdeath's position and situation, but the result was a failure." Najenda said softly: "This could mean two things: either she has died, making the Teigu unable to detect her, or she has been taken to another world."
"Killed in battle or captured?" Gozuki shook his head and said indifferently: "No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing, especially the latter. General Esdeath knows a lot of secrets of the empire."
"Since it has already happened, there is no point in talking about it." Shuar intervened, then respectfully addressed the emperor. "I think the most urgent task now is to consider how the empire will deal with the threat from the north next."
"It's obvious that our high-level military strength is inferior to that of our enemies. General Budo can barely stand up to a lieutenant general of the world government. Our only hope lies in the three ballistic missiles we have left."
