Lord of the Truth

Chapter 885: Purge -2



But Alexander didn't back off easily, he repeated the operation once more, this time with a well-planned siege around the Flame Continent, but the result was that he killed a number of soldiers and shot down a number of ships, while the rest managed to flee and repeated their action again...

This time they destroyed a large portion of Planet Jura and further accumulated tens of millions of deaths to increase Alexander's punishment, they even went to attack the treasury of the imperial capital again, had it not been for the warlords arriving in time to stop them, it would have been too late for the entire war!

And then again they returned to gather on the Flame Continent, specifically here, in the third largest city.

A whole day passed here... Alexander sat in front of the walls watching from afar.

The army of the True Beginning Empire was still almost untouched, but the civilian deaths and the extent of the destruction were accumulating terribly, and this was his responsibility as the commander of the defense army!

...Sitting at the city gate on a throne no less magnificent than Alexander's, Marshal Dayroth laughed and spoke in a calm voice, "General Alexander, it seems that you still haven't found anything to do today either, and I know that you wouldn't find anything. You and your army sitting here won't change anything, let them go back to their wives and kids, if any left of course."

After the back-and-forth battles between Alexander and Dayroth over the past two weeks, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

"I will not leave this spot until I remove the filth I see before me," Alexander replied emotionlessly, but some suppressed killing intent could not be hidden.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Oh are you talking about me? Then I have to apologies, you won't remove anything, I'm not going anywhere!" Marshal Dayroth laughed, "But I do, in fact, agree that this war can't last forever, we have to make peace in the end, Isn't this what all wars are about? Accept my offer and let us both have peace for a few years, let us lick out wounds and think about the future, what do you think?"

Alexander raised one eyebrow, "Your offer is ridiculous, it went in one ear and out the other, even a child would have some shame speaking those words!"

"Haha then let me repeat it to you and please try to keep it between your ears this time, it's for your own good." Dayroth looked directly into Alexander's eyes, "Although you are just a mid-level martial emperor, I realize that you are a high-ranking official in the True Beginning Empire since you were given the task of defending Planet Jura, which apparently isn't going very well for you? Make good use of your authority and give me the Flame Continent, I will provide a safe passage for all your citizens to leave this continent and I will also withdraw all my forces from the rest of the continents and not leave these borders for ten years, after the period is up we can resume negotiations."

"You are still talking nonsense?! Wanting to establish a permanent base on our home planet, What kind of power do you have to say these words? You can't even handle a direct battle against my army, your ships flee immediately upon seeing a soldier approaching, someone like you should think about how to get off the planet safely, but you dare to think about occupying an entire continent? Are you sane?!" An ugly smile appeared on Alexander's face, "Even dreams have limits."

"It depends on the request and the means, I don't see my request to be the least bit exaggerated, to be honest, and I do have the means to accomplish my request, it doesn't have to be a direct war for me to take what I want."

Marshal Dayroth shrugged, "You say they are dreams, perhaps you are right, but why shouldn't I dream? As long as I have a way to make it come true, I can dream whatever I want, and honestly, I don't think it's far-fetched at all, I just have to destroy this piece of crab you call home planet sufficiently, and then you will listen to my peaceful offer, the question is how much longer can you stand what's happening? As for me, I can continue until I level every last building on your bullshit of a homeland to the ground and kill every last person."

"Pfft... Do you really think His Excellency cares if all the buildings are leveled to the ground, or even if all the inhabitants of the planet are killed? He himself destroyed Planet Jura not so long ago, or do you think those rebels hate him because of the high prices?" Alexander laughed at the naivety of this Marshal

Actually he wouldn't be surprised if Robin knew what was happening to Planet Jura right now but he didn't care to interfere for whatever reason.

"I know His Excellency to a certain extent, in his eyes, as long as there are a few individuals from the Burton family alive and able to reproduce, then nothing else matters. The buildings can be restored and the people can give birth to others, he said it himself not long ago." then he gave a lough, "I see that you last resort should be going after the Burton family survivors, And honestly, I want to see you try to touch them, they are currently in Black Sun City in the Ancestral Continent, Do want a map?"

"Hmm, you're saying he destroyed the planet himself? I heard about what happened, it was said that he only killed those who attacked his family or something like that... That's not strict enough, you should leave the destruction to its people hehe!" The marshal laughed and then spoke seriously, "My dear Alexander, your talk has no weight here if don't accept the offer or give me another one that I can think about, we are not going anywhere, you must believe that with all your heart."

The Marshal continued his provocation but didn't comment on attacking the surviving members of the Burton family, he already knows where they were but those bastards are protected by 10 Warlords and an entire army division, if he decided to send any army there they would be raped to death!
