Chapter 162 - 157: Impeding crisis! (1/2)
While Mark and Wendy were fighting the far away enemy, destroying their bases and reducing their numbers, a group of soldiers entered the palace and taken control over it.
The imperial escorting group of soldiers from empire had officially made their way to western warlords palace for Xena!
Still... The atmosphere of western warlords palace had yet to turn for better and took for a worst turn!
Unlike the sense of safety which should be harboured with the influx of imperial unit, the palace was thrown into uproar by the intelligence report gathered by scouts.
Western warlords palace was thrown into an uproar, an unpleasant one which brought panic to palace again!
They were just recovering from scars of previous battle, yet an another one popped over their heads which seemed entirely unavoidable
A strong army of aura kings, numbered around tens of thousands were marching to their place with hostile intent!
As far as their intelligence report says, the marching army was unidentifiable one, more presumably a secret organisation which came specifically for their princess.
Since the group of experts from imperial unit were just the escort party, their numbers alone weren't enough to fight equally against them.
And since the unknown army were their identified as enemies, the mission of escorting princess back home had became difficult!
When the whole of palace was in turmoil, a heated discussion of top experts had just ended, following which an old man in grey hooded robes entered in the main halls of Aaron's mansion under his general's order.
Main hall of Aaron mansion.
The newly arrived escort general of imperial unit along with a trio of his vices were seated over with troubled faces.
The old grey-hooded man knelt down on one foot as he exclaimed
” Old scout Raven of Blood wigg unit reports before lord general! ”
Glancing at the kneeling scout who had just arrived, the general didn't seemed to be a good mood as he yelled.
” How reliable is your intelligence report? How could an army of that caliber march towards us, unnoticed? ”
Clenching his war ridden fist over the frail table, the heavy armored old General questioned the scout aggressively.
Though he was old, the aura released out his body was that of an high order aura emperor, which was considered relatively strong in the current state of world.
Though being a war veteran, in face of great number of enemies he quickly losen his temper.
Looking at the furious expressions on this iron armoured veteran general, the hooded informat took an another step in kneeling on his both feet and cried out submissively
” Lord general, it's true! It's regretful to say this but, we can't probably win against that approaching power! ”
” Did they really killed our scouts easily? how's that possible we had aura emperors mixed among their numbers!
Why the **** are you alone still alive? Why didn't you just died in the hands of those ugly bastards? ”
The unintentional pressure released by general had almost chocked the old scout to death.
” General, the intelligence I have reported is as stated! ”
” That unknown army had demanded to hand the princess over to them, if we fail to do by tomorrow they'll launch a full scale war and annihilate our numbers! They have peak order aura emperors... it's impossible to win against them! ”
Lowering his head down with a tensed face, the old scout gave a suggestion which angered the general to burst out his fury over him.
” Though the eligibility of this old servant is not at a rank to give suggestions, this old servant requests general to flee away with princess! ”
” Let's take our princess and escape, our brothers in army would be willing to act as a decoy, sacrifice themselves for imperial house hold! We really are helpless here! ”
With just the numbers of imperial soldiers they possess, it would just be a pipe dream, more of a far cry for them to content against the large number of Beastmen bases!
Thousand imperial soldiers at mid order aura king cultivation!
Though it was a impressive number of powerhouses to strong kingdoms of secular world, it wasn't worth much in face of an orange rank base who had superior strength!
Considering the group of soldiers from warlords palace, who were numbered in tens of thousands, general didn't had much hopes with them.
They were nothing but a plain group of army equivalent to aura lords, but are of the weaker spirit cultivation path.
If armies of spirit cultivators and aura cultivators of same numbers were to be clashed, the aftermath of spirit cultivators would result in complete annihilation!
This was the case when both the armies were made up of similar number of personals with same cultivation!
