Chapter 643: Marching back to the battlefield (II)
For one, the Mutated Ocean Beast Hordes had significantly reduced in size and power after several years of fighting, and while the Dark Kings were indeed sowing chaos in the south, they did not dare to show their faces and acted from the shadows, so there was only so much damage the Sectors were taking.
None of those scenarios could compare with the all-out war the Collapsing Lightning Alliance faced in the continent's north. It was clear to all present that someone in the empire's capital was downplaying their situation, diminishing their ability to resist the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army and aiding The Void King.
"Ahh, keep trying. We cannot continue like this, as the number of Inferno Daemon Invasion Army is resupplied with new blood every month."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke sighed as his numbers weakened with each battle, yet the invader army kept getting reinforcements. While he was certain that there was a plot against him in the capital, he did not have any evidence, and the answer they gave to deny more troops was infuriating but valid enough.
It would take but three hours for the Collapsing Lightning Duke to reach the Silver City if he were willing to burn his energy and endure a severe backlash, but that might not be enough to get answers. If he were to vanish from the north of the continent, the Void King and the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army would immediately attack with all their power.
And the same would happen with the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar Aegon left.
As for sending someone else, that would be even more useless as the Imperial Court would refuse to receive them with the excuse that they were too busy handling the problems of the empire and that person would lack the strength to demand an audience.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke showed a complicated expression as he was trying to decide the best path forward. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he was not alone since all present showed the same reaction.
The reason for their reaction was the news that the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army was advancing towards the Golden Mountain Range and seemed intent on establishing a God Tower in that location.
It had been less than one week since the last clash between both armies, and they were still not completely healed, so the movement of the enemy army took the Collapsing Lightning Alliance by surprise.
