675 Azil Bloody nights
"...Alright I understand, keep up the good work." Richard took off the ring and tossed it to the side. This was the seventh report from the Great Line guards informing him of an increase in intrusion attempts recently. None of them said anything more than just facts, but Richard clearly understood what they wanted, They were all pressuring him to take the next step.
But none of them knew how difficult this step would be for HIM.
Richard at this moment was not in his palace designated for him, nor was he visiting someone in his home to treat him and give him a piece of fresh meat. He was sitting in a dark spot under an old tree, and next to him was a human with a distorted face, It was Peon.
Almost five years have passed since Peon offered to summon the army of the True Beginning Empire, and although Richard refused to antagonize the entire army and begin an all-out war on the Azil tribe, the five years were not without quite a few earth shattering events.
Richard said that if the Empire's army came to attack the Azil tribe directly, the old agreements between the northern tribes would be activated and they would all come to help the Azil tribe even if they didn't want to, by then it wouldn't matter whether the True Begining Empire had enough strength to fight the entire northern region or not, the losses would be tremendous.
Richard, just a few minutes ago, was refusing to use any help from his father, so how could he accept now to use everything Robin have and even harm his father's army to this degree to accomplish his revenge? Therefore, he contented himself with requesting a number of Martial Emperors of Wind, Lightning, and Darkness to follow up on the sabotage operations and hunt down the Martial Emperors of the Azil tribe in secret.
Peon was relieved when Richard made this decision. He knew better than anyone the dangers of starting a direct war against the northern region, but this was the only way as long as Richard refused to cooperate and refused to leave the city
But since his plan succeeded and he was able to win Richard to his side after this comprehensive offer of Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
After receiving the response, Theo didn't delay further brought several Rune Masters through the Hope City Space Portal as merchants and then smuggled them to the northern region where they created a Space Portal there, and from that Space Portal emerged 30 human Martial Emperors who were appointed to carry out Peon and Richard's orders.
The arrival of reinforcements heralded the beginning of the end of the Azil tribe. On the same day, five martial Emperors from the Azil tribe were hunted down and disposed of in complete silence, Then the very next day the heads of the five were hung on 5 different city gates under Richard's orders... The killing of those five caused an earthquake in the entire northern region, especially since the five disappeared while they were inside their tribe's capital city!
Taking into account the two who were killed by Peon and his team previously, the total number of Martial Emperors killed from the Azil tribe is now seven... The killing of seven Martial Emperors has not happened since the era of the Second Heaven's Chosen!!
And who did all this? Angry ghosts?! If a damn ghost can reach such power that it can fight Martial Emperors, then what's the point of cultivation anymore?!
Even the northern tribes that were trying to put pressure on the Azil tribe could not help but restrain themselves and re-evaluate the situation. They all began to suspect that there was one of the tribes among them who was secretly carrying out these actions, so some of them began to search with specialists from the Azil tribe to identify those responsible for these incidents as if their expectations were correct, who can guarantee that what happens to the Azil tribe will not happen to them later?
However, this did not ease the loss of the Azil tribe... If everyone was thinking about this hypothetical, How could Dawoodar not think about it? Losing seven Martial Emperors was a huge blow to the family's pride, but the fact that there was another tribe, or tribes, in the worst case, killing his family and destroying his city made him lose his mind!
It was said that the screams of the tribe leader, Dawoodar, rang throughout the entire city on the day they found the heads of the five Martial Emperors, and he ordered the army to destroy everything they see until they found a tip of a thread that would indicate what was happening, He told them not to find a pebble without overturning it, and not to leave a wall without knocking it over.
but this reckless order caused massive massacres and fighting between the citizens and the army inside the city. What man would let a few soldiers enter his house to destroy it, turn it upside down, and even search his wife and children?!
And of course, Richard did not miss this large banquet... Kidnapping incidents reached their peak during these riots until he hunted a million more victims.
Within a few months of the arrival of reinforcements, the capital of the Azil tribe turned into a ghost city. All its residents were killed, kidnapped, or broke down the city gates and fled. Even the tribe's army, which Dawoodar was boasting about, had its strength reduced by half after the clashes with the citizens but mostly because Richard was focusing his kidnappings on them.
But not everything went as Richard wanted this time, as these massive events brought behind them two problems:
The first is that a few secrets were revealed.
His preoccupation with kidnapping more than a million people in just two weeks enabled one of the Martial Emperors to specialize in the investigation to finally find the source of the energy. That Martial Emperor stood in front of Richard's palace with eyes spitting blood and anger eating away at him from within. Then he clenched his fist back, ready to destroy the palace and Richard with one blow. Fortunately, Peon and three other human Martial Emperors were present to prevent him and cut him down into 14 even pieces where he stood... That is, the number of dead Martial Emperors from the Azil tribe reached 8.
But that fight, even if it was short, attracted the attention of the army and a number of Giant Martial Emperors who rushed to the location and saw Peon and the rest fleeing. They tried to catch up with them, but them catching up with human Martial Emperors who used the Perfect Heavenly Law of Wind and had a Gravity Bracelet? They soon found out how impossible this is.
The second problem is that after the buildings were leveled to the ground, the places in which the human Martial Emperors could hide became very few, and some of them were indeed found and clashed with, but their organization and availability of Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
And all of this was nothing but a spark... Both sides witnessed a dangerous escalation
As for the giants, after it was proven that the killers of the Azil tribe Martial Emperors were not ghosts as was said, nor were they giants from another tribe, but real Martial Emperors of the human race!! the rest of the tribes completely backed down from pressuring the the Azil tribe, and some of the nearby tribes even sent parts of their armies to them for help with a few of their Martial Emperors as Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
Out of his intense anger, Dawdar moved his army and all the Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters. The rest of the eleven Nihari Giants' tribes also decided to send armies to turn the human settlements in their lands upside down, perhaps they would find any evidence as to why there were Martial Emperors of this lowly race.
But that didn't end as they expected...
