"Marshal, this is urgent!" At this moment, a shout came from the side, interrupting Dayroth's idealistic thoughts, "Lookup!"
"Hmm?" Dayroth raised his head and stared for a while trying to figure out what he was
looking at, in the end, he found a number of humans standing above the clouds at high altitudes, there were at least a hundred Martial Emperors up there.
But he didn't immediately get enraged or took a countermeasure, the altitude was too high to pose any kind of threat, and they were almost at the same distance that Alexander was sitting at now... They were up there just to say: We are here, don't get lazy. they might put some pressure and disturbance on the Great Serpent Empire soldiers but they wouldn't pose any significant threat without being detected.
However, the Marshal looked into Alexander's eyes again with apparent anger, "Is that supposed to scare me? If they come down a little bit more I'll simply leave. But remember, this will annoy me, and if I get annoyed, the Wind Continent will witness my anger, it might even pop up in my head and I'll decide to move there and claim it as my permanent home instead of the Flame Continent!"
Alexander laughed, "Don't worry, they'll stay up there to monitor the situation, as long as you don't try to go up they won't come down to you, you have my word."
The marshal frowned slightly, suspecting that something was going on but not knowing what it was... But whatever Alexander was cooking up was doomed to fail, as long as the ships were ready and the engines were running at full efficiency thanks to the ridiculous amount of energy pearls he had collected, he would leave this place in the slightest danger, even the soldiers, most of them were sleeping inside the ships with only a few of them were roaming the city looking for resources or dangers.
The next few moments passed by heavily, the smile and confidence on Marshal Dayroth's face disappeared and a few drops of sweat covered his forehead, something inside him was telling him that there was danger but he didn't know where it would come from, "...Alexander, don't start something you can't stop."
"I know, I know." Alexander nodded twice with a smile, still sitting comfortably in his chair, "If I start something I have to make sure I finish it, I learned this the hard way during our past battles."
The Marshal quickly continued, "It's good that you know this, but you should also know that you can never gain any advantage against me, I have fought hundreds of generals throughout my life and cut them all down, even in the middle planetary belt I have my name and respect!"
"Why are you sweating? I haven't moved an inch, calm down, I haven't done anything yet." Alexander laughed, "let's both relax and enjoy the good weather, come on, talk to me more about those offers of yours maybe I will consider one..."
"....." The Marshal didn't know what to say, but he was really afraid of that human...
Although their clash had been short over the past two weeks and he had always been in a position of strength thanks to the speed of the space ships, Alexander had done several tricks that had made him always feel surrounded with no room to breath, he was definitely not an easy character.
The Marshal felt something like a very light earthquake under his feet, so he quickly stood up and looked around, a sense of danger exploded in his head, "Go back to the ships, we have to-
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*
At that moment, the ground around the city wall cracked and something came out from underneath it... It was the Terra Cavalry Squad.
"What's going on here?!" The Marshal shouted loudly, he had never seen this squadron before, No, they were in tens of thousands, that was an entire army! And he didn't know how they got out from underground, but he knew one thing, something was happening!! "We're leaving!"
All the guards and soldiers patrolling the ship jumped towards the ships within seconds as they learned in their training and the marshal followed them, he stood in the middle of his ship's massive gate and pointed towards Alexander, "Just wait, you'll regret messing with me again, the Wind Continent will witness the biggest massacre yet, they shall---"
"Huh?" At this moment a golden veil appeared between him and Alexander, it was something like a barrier wall, extremely high, and it didn't seem weak either!
"Damn, where did that thing come from?!" The marshal pointed towards the wall, all the ships started firing at the same time "Fire at it, destroy it!!"
The wall was quickly being pierced and healed, it was clear that if they continued firing it would collapse but it didn't look like it would open enough for a single ship to pass anytime soon!
Under this psychological pressure, the Marshal heard Alexander's voice, then saw him approaching quickly with his army behind him!
The Marshal quickly looked around and found the city surrounded on all sides by that wall and several instant space portals starting to open pouring more soldiers from all directions, he clenched his hands tightly and gave orders, "Head up, I want to see if this damned wall reaches the sky!!"
Even if he had to leave the planet now, it would be fine, he would just go around it and land on another continent.
Just when the ships started to turn their heads upwards, attacks descended upon them, they were the Martial Emperors that the Marshal had seen a moment ago.
"..." The Marshal opened his eyes slightly as he saw a hundred Martial Emperors descending above his head
Then they went dark as he saw an instant space portal open up above, and a Warlord descending towards him holding a club.
