Chapter 133: 073 City of Slaves -1 (Part One)

In the campsite of Aslan’s army

Countless tents had been set up on the barren wasteland

“Uwaaaah! It hurts… It freaking hurts! Healer Where’s a healer?!”

Soldiers were crying out in anguish while thearound here and there

They stitched up the grievous wounds and poured healing potions on the injuries to heal their patients

The current status of Aslan’s camp was truly wretched to behold

The nuly numerous, while quite a few of the still-healthy soldiers were holding onto their sto laboriously

Even the Necro nobles, hadn’t had a proper drink of water for a while now

In the beginning, this army boasted fifty thousand combatants But in less than a month, that nu to defend against the Theocratic Empire’s invasion,several defeats, just as s currently stood, Aslan was only barely holding on against the eth left to keep up with their resistance

In the end, King Rahaest a ceasefire to the Theocratic Empire With this move, Aslan now found itself in a situation where they now had to do whatever the empire demanded from them

“Y-your majesty, the communique has arrived!”

The empire had finally made its reply

The twelve feudal lords – no, now only eight reenerals of their respective territories, all held their breaths

Their gazes shi+fted over to a certainon the seat of honour inside the commander’s tent

It was aa burly physique currently hidden underneath the sturdy ar of Aslan, Raha The king had his eyes closed, but when the arrival of the communique was announced, he opened them and stared at the scout

He spoke up “Is it fro the communique from the e away, he bowed deeply and addressed his king “…Y-your e from the Holy Emperor His reaction seems to be in favour of the declaration of ceasefire”

Rahamma slowly rubbed his face down

This was truly hu

It was hi of bitter defeats, he now found hi the eneuessed that an old e was that vicious and insane?

Rahamma finally understood why the Vampires were so scared of that old h ‘sword king’ Oscal Baldur wasn’t around, just the Holy Emperor alone proved to be impossible to deal with

To make matters worse, all communications with Nasus, as supposed to battle the sword king, had been severed as well Even the scouting party sent there to investigate had gone one as badly as it possibly could

‘It can’t be helped This time, it is clearly my defeat’

Rahas continued on at this rate, then it’d be only a matter of time before the Theocratic Empire invades Aslan’s capital and captures it

One of the slaves took the co fro of Aslan flipped open the letter and quietly read its contents

“…”

Once he confirradually cocked to one side And then… He suddenly reached out and grabbed the throat of a slave nearby, before twisting it

Crunch!

The slave’s neck was broken, and at the same time, his vitality seeped out and his body withered into a ed to stop an inevitable screa hisincreasingly redder by the e distorted his expression and the aura of death began spreading out froasped out in surprise and hurriedly knelt down before their king and bowed their heads

Rahae “That wretched bastard of an old man dares to…!”

The letter’s contents were fairly simple in nature

One, to immediately announce Aslan’s surrender Two, for the period of next ten years, Aslan must pay tribute to the Theocratic Empire and serve the latter’s needs

Finally, Aslan’s king, Rahamma, must bear all the responsibilities of this war, and…

“…I must ko in nude and kiss the erily ripped the letter into pieces This was not a declaration of ceasefire, but a contract of subordination Also, a ruler of a nation should be afforded at least a minimum level of respect, yet the Holy Emperor even dared to trample on such a notion

This was clearly a provocation Fro, the empire hadn’t even considered the possibility of a ceasefire

The Holy Eer on Aslan Manymonths, and eventually, all of Aslan would be lost to the invaders

A total annihilation

Holy Edoritted his teeth

“…No, wait It’s still fine”

He worked hard to calhtly ed his temples

‘Indeed, I still have my children’

As a matter of fact, over one hundred demi-human children They formed a troop evolved specially for the tasks of assassination and Necromancy
