Chapter 3157: Space Wars
The Emperor of Harmony was not exaggerating. The Evolutionary Army and the Imperial Tekvorian Federation alone drained a majority of their forces just to keep at bay, leaving them with far too little to spare for the therianthropes, the dwarves, and the giants.
"If not for you, it is very likely the Panama Continent would simply have been overwhelmed," Emperor Rael explained. "Thanks to the Beast Excursion and our alliance with Jormungandr, even setting up a single settlement has become extremely difficult. And in the twenty-four hours that have passed since you’re awakening, we have yet to gain a single new incoming convoy from the true world."
It was difficult to believe that only twenty-four hours had passed since Rui woke up from his coma.
So much had happened that it almost felt like a week.
"Since then, all the pureblood powers of the true world have stayed their hands," the Emperor of Harmony remarked. "We have yet to gain any new attacks and convoys, but that doesn’t mean we’re at peace. Not at all."
Rui nodded with a serious expression. "It just means that we have overcome the most basic and hasty efforts."
It would be as though if everybody learned of a treasure hidden in a location, and simply ran as fast as they could with no tools and minimal people to get to it as soon as possible.
Only to find out that getting to the treasure was extremely difficult because of all the booby traps, repelling them away.
The next step would be to return and regroup, and plan a more sophisticated attempt to gain the treasure.
