In the barracks, Luna, Livia, and Jane quickly received the message from Isabella.
"So it's time for us to fight?" Luna stood up, stretching her body.
"It's about time," Jane nodded, picking up her armor.
"You need to be careful; the enemy this time is not simple," Livia advised.
"We know, otherwise why would we be needed?"
Throughout the years of war, they had been on the sidelines.
The enemy was so weak that they didn't need to fight.
"Anyway, just be careful."
"Alright, enough of that; we need to hurry; it seems the enemy is about to reach us."
Soon after gearing up, they quickly called their subordinates.
After assembling, they turned to the teleportation array to quickly reach the battlefield.
"Isabella!" Luna and the others greeted.
"You three are here," Isabella smiled in relief.
Although they had already been briefed before coming here, it was unclear.
"As you could see..." Isabella sighed and pointed to the battlefield.
Looking out, it seems that they were in a dire state.
Just a few minutes since the Emperor of the Westle Empire moved.
The distance between the puppet and them reached less than a thousand kilometers.
This was already like an inch close; any wrong move and the empire would be breached.
If not for the Berserk legions, Imperial legion, and the Empire puppets keeping the balance.
The Moonlight Empire would probably be breached by now.
After explaining the specifics, Luna and the others just nodded.
"Don't worry, leave it to us!"
"Just mere puppets; even if every one of them had a will, so what?"
"Then it's up to you."
On the battlefield, the three newly arrived legions caused some commotion.
"Is this the secret legion of our Empire?"
"It's great! Our backup is here!"
The soldiers, who were already crumbling from firing arcane cannons, muttered in relief.
The closer the enemy got, the more pressure they felt.
Just a touch from the enemy, and they would be finished.
It's unlike in the past, where even a tier 7 individual could fight back-to-back with a puppet.
Now, the puppet was like a group of fighting geniuses, a god on the battlefield.
The Berserker Legion, who was the first to support them, already confirmed this.
After defeating the believers of gods and seeing they no longer got resurrected, the berserker legion quickly came to support the battlefield.
At first, the puppet was like trash that the berserker legion could easily eliminate.
Each strike they made took thousands and thousands of puppets.
However, as time passed, the puppets quickly adapted and formed a mini-formation.
They were like nimble monkeys that even the elites of the empire could be played in applause.
Fortunately, the Berserker Legion was not vegetarian.
After seeing that the enemy was not easy, they quickly coordinated and suppressed the enemy.
However, this is not enough.
Seeing the puppet couldn't take them on, the puppets decided to stall time, isolating the berserker legion from the rest.
With crowd control, the puppets continued to advance into the Moonlight Empire.
Fortunately, just in time, the Imperial legion led by Isabella arrived on the battlefield.
After getting into formation, they became like a giant beast on the battlefield.
No matter the strategies, the giant beast continued to rampage, barely suppressing the puppet's advancement.
However, they knew this was not long-term.
Given how quickly the puppets adapted, casualties would appear sooner or later.
Thus, seeing the alleged secret legions, they couldn't be happier.
Soon, Jane and the Guardian legion flew in front as the last wall against the empire.
After settling, they didn't move like a wall whose only role is to guard.
They were not here to fight; they were here to ensure the safety of the regular soldiers so they would not get caught up in the coming battle.
On the other hand, Luna and her legion flew into the center of the battlefield.
"Rose!" Luna greeted, seeing Rose silently watching the battlefield.
"You're here, Luna!" Rose smiled lightly.
"Why are you standing still? Don't you want to fight?"
"It's too boring and a waste of energy."
The puppets were too weak for Rose to arouse her interest.
Standing on the battlefield already gave her legion belief and confidence, which was more than enough.
A mere cannon fodders didn't deserve her effort and skills.
Unless it were life-threatening, she wouldn't move to do anything.
"Oh~ Then let me stretch my body first." Luna smiled, waiting for the cue.
Unlike Rose, they weren't here to hold off the enemy.
Isabella called them here to go for the kill.
Soon, Livia and her legion, the Orchestra of Death, got into position.
A hundred thousand individuals stood straight, grabbing their instruments, waiting for Livia's instruction.
"Begin!" Livia shouted, activating her special physique.
With a wave of her hands, a music note rang, sending the battlefield into a brief pause.
The Nether-like energy then begins to spread around the battlefield like a mist.
"Finally~" Hearing the sound, Luna smiled.
Like a percussion of death, the legion led by Luna dashed forward without regard to the enemy.
They didn't seem to know they were only a tier 7 dog fighting billions of tier 8 puppets controlled by a god.
Following the flow of melodies, they quickly shuffled through the enemy effortlessly.
As they came face to face with a puppet, the sound of string and drum seemed to control their body, dodging any attack.
As the Nether encroaches on the battlefield, the sound of music suddenly changed.
From melodic to the sound of death, holding their weapons, they flawlessly destroyed the puppets simply with a flip of a hand.
The nether-like energy seemed to make the puppet so brittle that a gust of wind could break it.
It was like a poison, making a million tier 7 individuals defeat a dragon without fangs and wings.
Like music to the ears and feast to the eyes, they moved elegantly while harvesting the enemy.
As the minutes passed by, hundreds of millions of puppets died unconsciously.
In the Westle Empire.
Khan also noticed this and was a little surprised.
"This Empire is insane."
He had just adapted to the Berserker and Imperial legions.
Now, there's another one?
Just how much power and potential does this little empire have hidden?
As he felt his amalgamation of will being consumed wildly, Khan quickly ran his mind to think of a solution.
However, a few hours later.
After various trials to cope with the enemy, nothing changed.
Try after try, no matter what strategies he employed, none worked.
"What a damn Moonlight Empire!" Khan muttered, gritting his teeth.
As the battle continued, he felt his amalgamation being drained faster and faster.
Just a few hours of battle and almost ten percent of his accumulated Amalgamation of Will is gone.
"I guess I can only wait..." Khan gave up.
Defeating the Moonlight Empire right now was virtually impossible.
Just the addition of a legion made his army collapse in shambles.
Deciding to stall for time, Khan decided to employ guerrilla tactics.
In the Moonlight Empire.
Noticing the Puppet retreat again, the smiles on their faces suddenly bloomed.
"The enemy retreated!"
"We defeated the enemy!"
"Hooray to the Mighty Moonlight Empire!"
Looking at this, Luna, who was about to chase the enemy, stopped.
"Hmph! What a bunch of weaklings!" Luna muttered unsatisfactorily, seeing the puppet retreat.
She hadn't had fun yet, and the enemy already retreated.
"I told you fighting them is not fun," Rose teased.
"Anyway, do we still chase the enemy?" Luna just rolled her eyes and asked.
"I don't know, let's wait for Isabella."
"You don't have to," Isabella said, suddenly appearing beside them.
"Why?" They asked in puzzlement.
Judging by the state of the enemy, they could already have pushed the enemy to the ground.
They should take this victory and end this once and for all.
"According to Neo, the Emperor of the Westle Empire seems to want to buy time."
"Since that is so, then we will gladly give him time."
"Our victory this time is a close call; if we didn't want casualties, we still have to wait for Maximus."
"Hmm," Rose and Luna nodded in understanding.
Although they felt they could win now, there are still many unknowns.
Is this all the power that the Westle Empire has?
Are the gods behind the schemes only helping to this degree?
Furthermore, the capabilities of the Amalgamation of Will are not just resurrection.
As long as the Emperor of the Westle Empire remains, many things could happen.
It's better to wait for their husband and decide.
Soon, the battle continued.
With Khan resorting to guerrilla warfare, the intensity of the war plummeted.
Days, weeks, and months passed, and the war continued.
Isabella and the others also cooperated, adding fire from time to time so that Khan wouldn't notice something weird.
At the tacit understanding of both parties.
A year passed by unconsciously, three years since Maximus disappeared.
In the Westle Empire:
Khan, who was meditating, receiving the last bits of memories that came to his mind, slowly opened his eyes.
"I see, so that was it."
His demeanor suddenly changed from that of an Emperor to that of a Sage.
There seemed to be a light in his eyes as he saw everything in the world differently.
Digesting the memory, Khan quickly understood his origin.
