Chapter 253: To the front lines (1/2)

The war is going on and, in a month, all the generals and the Marshalls are on the front lines. The Novices took backseats, even the Great realm and Grand realm experts are now only minor characters.

The Nascent cultivators themselves are now having the major battles, which means it is about time, Sam and Emperor Arian moved to the Front lines and they did.

The Orion's border was moved backward, all the territories are conquered by at least half and the southern star is the worst as the whole territory was conquered completely.

The southern star Duke was extremely disheartened. Now the southern side is cleared and Arian can invade directly.

Duke who is a Peak stage Nascent moved towards the imperial capital so that they can guard this side.

Sam along with Arian Emperor moved towards the southern star.

The whole dukedom which he was very familiar with came to his sight again.

Now, he can walk around openly and no one would dare say a word about it.

He is looking at the signs of war and the new temporary personnel from the Arian taking charge of the city's activities, the officials being captured and being interrogated.

He sighed at the sights he had brought upon this once-stable empire.

And all of it was caused because an egoistic prince and his father looked down and coveted his possessions and are so conceited to accept their defeat and tried to kill him.

Now the whole empire which gave that arrogant prick his status as an emperor has to pay the price. But Sam has a feeling that it was for the better.

Because, from all the journeys he had been in this empire, he didn't hear a single good thing about the emperor, the citizens are so indifferent towards him and they almost behaved as if the emperor never existed in the first place.

But the few days he was in the Arian, he saw the exact opposite. The soldiers' conditions are hundreds of times better than that of the soldiers in the Orion.

There are many training facilities which would improve various aspects, even the food is extremely delicious and nutritious.

Even the citizens give great respect to the soldiers and as for the popularity of the emperor, he is like a god to the citizens. They respect him so much and they identify him in a single glance.

There are very few slums in this area and those are also only occupied by some small-time criminals rather than the dirt poor.

Even the people who have no cultivation are being given adequate safety, the city guards are working properly and there is a very less percentage of tax being collected.

Simply put, the Arian empire is a great place and the emperor Arian is a great ruler.

This whole might have started based on Sam's personal agenda and there is a lot of his help in winning this one, but it is going to be a good thing for both the empires.

Sam along with the emperor is stationed near the imperial capital. But they didn't advance. Because, in at most two weeks, the whole territory will be occupied and that would be great timing to have an all-out battle at the imperial capital.

This is always the norm, the most damaged will always be the imperial capital. The most elite of the forces are all stationed there.

Even Sam's battalion is stationed at the imperial capital.

As for the beasts in the wild, they all stayed put and this mainly accounted to the Thunder Vulture of Emperor Arian.

All the beasts stayed put deep inside under the guidance of the kings of the respective forests.

Now, all they have to do is wait it out for the final battle and show them who is the boss.

But the waiting was only for Sam, Emperor, and other big fish. The normal troops have to move and they are now attacking the southwestern and southeastern through the border between the southern star and those two territories.

They started doing a pincer attack and now the territories are being occupied at a rapid pace.

This increased to the point that they finished the whole thing ten days. The Dukedom's surrendered.

Some Dukes escaped to the imperial capital and some of them surrendered. Now, only the final battle is remaining.

On the eleventh day of them staying near the imperial capital, they finally surrounded the city wall and the emperor yelled with all his might.

”Emperor Orion, your capital has been surrounded, your lands conquered and your armies defeated, it is for the better if you surrender, there is no need for further bloodshed.”

At this moment there was an uproar in the city, the most loss was suffered by the soldiers and then the merchants and the secondary nobles, their assets have been annexed by the government in the name of the war tax, and the most profitable are the four professional towers, their business boomed like never before.
