The spaceship broke into two equal halves like a children's toy mid-air, then each half moved away from the other and hit the ground... Everything happened in slow motion in everyone's eyes.
This was the first spaceship to be shot down in front of the Demons!
Five days ago, a strange incident occurred. The space portal in the Demons' headquarters on The Orphan Blood Planet suddenly lit up, and huge numbers of Jura's Demons began rushing toward The Orphan Blood Planet, terrified.
When they were able to ask some of those refugees, they learned what had happened. Some strange floating warships carrying hundreds of Martial Emperors attacked the space portal near the Imperial Capital, and those ships were heading towards them at a high speed killing everyone who stood in their way, so they opened the portal of the Demon City to smuggle out the families of the Demons Emperors before the battle began.
Within an hour or less, more than two million Demons had passed through the portal, after which the portal stopped working... This meant that the portal on the Jura's side had most likely been destroyed.
No one anymore knows what happened to the Demon City, the city that controls the eastern half of the central continent of Planet Jura, the city that is inhabited by tens of millions of demons... How is it possible that it fell and the portal built in the heart of the city was destroyed so quickly?!
No one had time to think either, as in the next moment, attacks rained down on them from all sides, and a hundred Martial Emperors, including a high-level one, descended on them, killing everyone in sight!
The 50 Demon Emperors did what they could to restrain the new enemies, while the Demon Kings merely tried to repel the rain of cannon shots coming from above, and then clashed with the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire who disembarked from their ships with their shiny silver armor.
The Demon Headquarters of The Orphan Blood Planet was destroyed in minutes, 7 Demon Emperors and hundreds of Demon Kings were killed, but at least the weaker ones managed to escape, and after them the Demon Emperors and Kings spread out in every direction, leaving the ruined city behind.
Over the past 4 days, they were chased everywhere and more of them were killed, but also the Demons' extraordinary sense of smell and instinct for hunting enabled them to kill a large number of soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire who came out to chase them, and then slowly they were able to follow the scent of their leader and were able to gather again.
After nearly a million Demons swarmed again, the high-level Demon Emperor decided to take them and head north and hide there, but they were found again within a few hours.
"Haa.. Haa..." More than a million Demons continued running like crazy, not caring about what was happening behind them nor who died as they were running.
But the Demon Emperors and Kings remained fixed in their positions, looking at the wrecked ship in stupefaction.
"Haha, I heard it was a loud party here, so I came to join!" A sound like thunder resounded in everyone's ears. From above the clouds filled with lightning, a person three meters tall descended. He had two upward-pointing horns and long white hair. The lightning spread over his entire body, but it was particularly concentrated between his horns.
"Those specifications... Thunder Bull Aru?" The Fleet General bared his fangs, "You finally decided to show yourself, huh? I thought you would hide in some hole forever." The General seemed relaxed but remained ready to fight.
In fact, three fleets attacked this planet, led by a Marshall. Each of the three fleets attacked a third of the planet, while the Marshal's ship landed in the center of the planet to coordinate and research the characteristics of the planet.
It is worth noting that the attack on the third that had the Demon headquarters was the easiest, as the population density was very high and they were not prepared for any attack, plus the Demon Emperors and kings put all their energy into protecting their families instead of dealing with the enemies.
As for the other two-thirds of the planet, the situation was different... The third, controlled by Aru, was expecting an attack from the demons and the True Beginning Empire at any time, so they made ample preparations to escape.
As for the final third, represented by the tribes with the Red Flame Dragon, the Lord of the Seas, and others, they were expecting an attack from Aru or from the Demons, so their level of caution was also at whatever level.
So when they saw the spaceships coming and the cannons aiming at them, they wasted no time, fleeing in moments without leaving a trace leaving their cities and everything they owned behind, even the space portal established in the Red Flame Dragon Tribe was destroyed the moment they reached their capital, no resistance at all.
The generals caught some locals and learned about the situation of the planet customs and about the local hero Aru, but it was too late, as Aru and all the Martial Emperors, alongside all forces capable of fighting, had already disappeared for five days no one knows were they are. Who would have thought that they would appear today on the opposite side of the planet, and at a time ?!
"Haha, this is called knowing when to strike and when to back off, why should I fight face to face when you have such advantages? Do you take us for fools?" Aru slowly descended, placing his hands behind his back, and then one after another descended from the clouds of Martial Emperors, the total number reaching 47. These were all Orphan Blood Martial Emperors left on the planet, there were also Flora's father and the rest of the heads of the Ten Families who had come to negotiate with Aru!
"You left the battlefield in Nihari and came here attacking women and children?" Flora's father gritted his teeth, "You all... Deserve to die!!"
"His Excellency will kill you all! Your empire will not know a single day of peace after he knows!!" Another tribe master shouted with heavy killing intent
Facing such heavy killing intent, the high-level Demon Emperor retreated slightly, keeping both the Fleet General and Aru within sight, preparing to engage whoever came first. When Aru noticed this, he moved towards the goblin, "Cyril, it seems that you do not know what is going on in the rest of the planet. I will explain it to you later. The important thing is that we have a common enemy now. We will help you and you help us until you receive reinforcements from your side."
The Demon Emperor looked worried. Aru almost brought them to the brink of annihilation not long ago had it not been for the intervention of the Lord. He is now between a rock and a hard place!
The Great Serpent Empire's Fleet General quickly chimed in, "It doesn't have to be ! You're the locals, right? Didn't those disgusting creatures invade and kill your tribes? This is your chance for revenge, help us, and together we'll eliminate them all today!"
The Demon Emperors are insanely strong, it started with 50 vs 100, but now it's 43 vs 90 and the Demons can still hold back all the Great Serpent Emperors! If 47 other local Martial Emperors intervened in the battle, a disaster could occur.
"What about after we help you? Will you leave us alone? Or will we move from serving one occupier to another?" Aru turned to face him with a smile on his face, "If I had to choose, I would choose the current occupier. As they say, A Devil you know is better than an angel you don't." Then he laughed and looked at Flora's father and the rest, "At least the occupier we know can still be reasoned with, what do you think, father-in-law?"
"No better words can be said." Flora's father shook his head with a smile
"How do I know you won't turn against us in the middle of the battle?" Cyril lowered his
guard a little, but he wasn't willing to bet his entire race so simply.
Aru looked back, then extended his hand with a serious look, "You have my word, you don't
"FIRE!!" The General had no reason to listen any longer, and taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he gave orders to the fleet to launch again.
The 90 Emperor Fleet also took the initiative and attacked their nearest targets, immediately repulsing the Demons and locals in a battle that shook the heavens.
However, Aru did not move yet, still looking at his rival seriously as he extended his hand.
Finally, Cyril sighed and stepped forward, placing his hand in Aru's, "Your word is enough."
