Chapter 355: Attack on the Empire (2/2)

The minor powers and the major powers can handle them, but that is going to be a serious problem if the empire is invaded in the same way. There are not many Grand realm soldiers compared to the major power and the minor powers.

In fact, the Grand realm cultivators are not even soldiers in the empire's army, they hold a position of at least a Regiment commander.

As Arc and Philip are discussing all these factors.

At that exact moment, the attendant ran in and said.

”Your majesty, the church followers are invading through the woods on the western side of empire and the northern ice lands also informed that they have been attacked by the church followers. The soldiers are all seemed to be Novice stage cultivators. They are awaiting your orders.”

”Tell them, to be defensive, don't let them invade the city and if there is no other way, ask them to use the Impact cannons.

As for the Northern Icelands, what is the exact situation?”

”They are defending themselves well and they said that the first wave of followers that came are no threat to them, but they are feeling a bit panicky about these new invaders and they seemed to have been searching for the Space gate.”

”Send a regiment over to the norther lands and ask them to stay strong, if they find any space gate, just ask them to attack them from long range, it is almost impossible to seal them without any formation knowledge.”

After giving the instructions, Arc went into a deep thought.

He was thinking why the empire was being attacked all of a sudden.

Philip is also thinking the same. The church is focussing on taking over the minor powers and even battling the major powers. The beast faction and the Usaine sect are both onto the church too. They are even trying to get their nations back.

But at this moment, the church should have been focusing their manpower at those positions.

While they are thinking.

In Sam's tower, inside his room.

Sam's body turned back to its original colour and there is a faint black smoke coming out of him.

His whole body started twitching a little as smoke escaped through the pores of his skin.

His body started to have a change as the dark elemental energy started spreading all over him.

Inside his body, near the spiritual core and even his spiritual consciousness, the shadow corrosive energy was almost disappeared.

Due to Sirona's formation the shadow energy in the patches which spread all over his body was also clearly absorbed.

Even the crack on the spirtual core has disappeared completely.

But what Sirona did, still have some side effects, because the energy spread all over the body, there are many traces left all over the muscle fibres and now Sam is subconsciously trying to digest them by attempting a shadow fusion.

Meanwhile, Arman who is running around the city, finally came towards the factory area and he noticed that one of locomotive factory is not working. So, he decided to escape there.

While he decided to hide in there for the time being, Philip has already sent out an order to capture him. He decided to put out this cat and mouse game, seeing that Arman is turning more and more desperate.

He was supervising Arman's capture and Arc is still trying to make sense of the situation.

But at that moment, there are sudden calls to Arc and his attendant.

The gist of the news was such.

After there is a probing attack in the morning in the western part and the northern part, the Arian empire was being invaded by the church.

The followers are being appeared out of the woods. And at this moment, there are more than fifty cities which are being invaded directly and to get the trouble even more serious, Philip got another call and that is the church followers are appearing out of thin air near the vicinities of Sam's city.

Then only they understood one thing. Not only is church deciding to use the man power on them, they are even using one-way space gates from who knows where to invade the western empire.
