Chapter 992: News of two fronts



Half a Day Later - Planet Poison Rock

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency..." Leonid Burton approached Rubin's body and began tapping it gently.

After a full five minutes, Rubin opened his eyes and looked toward Leonid, annoyed that his Spirit Refining process was interrupted. It was Evergreen who had shaken his soul domain to alert him about the new comer. "What is it?"

"I apologize for disturbing you, Your Excellency," Leonid quickly lowered his head, then slowly raised it with a pleading expression. "General Caesar has not requested anything, but on his behalf and the rest of the army, I felt it necessary to ask for your intervention. The situation is dire."

"...Explain further." Rubin furrowed his brows slowly.

"Six of the nine Great Beasts under Durger the Devourer have personally moved to attack our army, bringing all their subordinates with them. The reinforcements from other planets have helped halt their advance and evened the scales, but General Caesar no longer has the luxury of assigning part of the army for rest or treatment. They've all been engaged in full-scale combat for the past two hours with no reserves. The martial emperors in our ranks have reached the limits of their stamina and the affinity booster serum effect is running out, they began to fall, and the War Lords will soon collapse as well!" Leonid explained quickly.

He continued, "If a seventh beast and its troopers join the battle now, we will crumble. Even if none join, I fear that in the next hour, all the warlords and martial emperors in our ranks will be forced to retreat or they will get killed. General Caesar has been forced to consume his affinity booster serum twice and refine it while activating his Wall of Death Flame, which is accumulating damage in his body. He will have to stop soon to treat himself before he can consume another one..."

"...A wave of beasts can be this powerful?" Rubin clenched his fists tightly. He no longer blamed Leonid for disturbing him; the situation was disturbing enough.

He had indeed summoned those reinforcements from other planets primarily to intimidate the Marshals and Imperial Guards, but in hindsight, the reinforcements, along with the current army, should have been enough to handle the beasts and showcase the empire's power- even if they didn't win.

"Understood, Your Excellency!" Leonid Burton immediately understood Rubin's intentions and ran toward the space portal. After inputting the coordinates into the portal's control panel, he disappeared within it.

Shiiee A black space spear materialized in Rubin's hand as he exhaled deeply. "Whooo..." His heart began to race with excitement and anticipation.

He can't go help against Durger while those snakes are standing by. And if they didn't come, he'd go to them!

Of course, he might not be able to kill a handful of them before the rest scatter, but that was fine... At the very least, he had to make sure to kill that young Marshal first!

Bzzzt

At that moment, the portal behind Rubin activated, drawing his attention once again. "Hmm?" Leonid had just left- who could be coming to Poison Rock?

"Where is His Excellency?...Your Excellency!!" A Shadow Sword that Rubin had never seen before hurriedly rushed out from the gate and began frantically searching for him. Someone pointed him toward Rubin, and he rushed toward him, his face showing signs of something

serious happening.

"What now?!" Rubin asked in irritation. Wasn't what was happening at Poison Stone enough?

The Shadow Sword didn't even take a breath before speaking quickly, "Your Excellency!! The southern region of Planet Nihari has been breached, and the portal in the Winter Punishment City has been destroyed!!"

-Three days remain until negotiations begin-
