Gacha Sovereign
chapter-278

"Alright. I know. Even a Royal Family should go to the frontline if needed in this chaotic world. If we can't even do that, people will call our kingdom coward.

"With our big wealth, raising cultivation should be only a matter of time. If there is another chance where she had become a Martial Lord but didn't want to participate.

"You need to tell me. Because my son is not the only one who evaluates them but also myself. Even my son participated a few times in the front line." Bima nodded to Daniel. "Alright, that's it. What about the situation? Why I shouldn't chase them?"

Daniel became tense, recalling those first five minutes. It couldn't be called a war anymore. It was a living hell. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before explaining the situation.

"Yes. I will explain from the start. Your Majesty should know about the second young lady of the Makmur Family, right?"

"The green-haired girl, right? I heard she is very talented and became a disciple of Ninth Elder from Heavenly Sword Sect. What's wrong with her? Tell me in detail." Bima answered.

"Yes. It happened three days ago where we convened a war meeting. We were discussing the strategies for the battle before she suddenly came inside the room.

"We were bewildered at that time. She told us about information about their number, which we already knew. But she also told us absurd information. She told us the enemy had twenty thousand Martial Grandmasters and five hundred Martial Lords."

"What!" Bima was dumbfounded. He wanted to rebuke him for an absurd tale, but he couldn't. He remembered that when he arrived, there should be around three hundred Martial Lords.

"Yes. At first, we didn't believe it. But Morgan took precaution and went to the capital city." Daniel said carefully.

"Indeed. He is asking for reinforcement, and I was the one who organized the reinforcement."

"Then, Morgan asked her where she got that information. She said it was from her sect Junior Brother. Morgan then found out that her Junior Brother should be in the Nemu Forest.

"But when he went there. He didn't find the so-called Junior Brother. Instead, what he found was even more devastating. He found more than three thousand corpses from Zhou Soldiers, but he didn't find any trace about force from other influences.

"At first, we had scouted the Nemu Forest since they might use it for an ambush, and we didn't find anything. The Zhou Soldiers chose a peculiar place that was hard to find and make a base on that place.

"If Morgan didn't have those corpses as the lead, he might not be able to find that base."

"Three thousand? So, that is the reason why Morgan rushed into the capital and asked for reinforcements?"

"Yes." Daniel nodded.

"Continue."

"Morgan tightened the security inside the Nemu Forest and made them report to him every night. But for three days, in fact, until now, we couldn't find anything.

"Yes. We couldn't find anything before Putri... I mean, the second Young Lady from the Makmur Family informed us again. This time, she got his information from a yellow-haired guy in the mercenary camp.

"She told us that there was an ambush that was ready inside the forest for today's battle. Morgan didn't believe her at first because he got the information the situation is fine that night.

"Even if they rushed onto this place, they should be exhausted and won't be able to battle. But, when Morgan asked Julius to investigate, it turned out the information was true.

"From the look of it, our spies were killed after they sent the report. We assumed because of the number of Martial Lords, all of our spies got caught and killed.

"Luckily, we already have our cannons ready on the city wall. Morgan then sent Julius to inform you. At that time, Morgan immediately took over the war from Princess Mega's hand."

"I see. So, that was the reason. But I haven't found the core problem yet."

"Yes. This is the core problem. The ambush was thirty thousand soldiers. According to Putri's information, they consisted of four hundred fifty Martial Lords and twenty thousand Martial Grandmasters. The rest of the soldiers were Martial Masters."

"What did you say?" Daniel opened his jaw wide.

"Yes. Although we might need to confirm their number later, I assume the number should be around that. Suddenly more than a hundred of their Martial Lords used some sort of sorcery and powered up.

"At that moment, they were not scared of death. It was a nightmare... no, nightmare might be an understatement, it should be a living hell.

"In the span of five minutes, each of those hundred Martial Lords became crazy and killed around a hundred of our soldiers each, as well as five cannons.

"At that time, according to my speculation. We lost more than twenty thousand soldiers while they lost a few thousand."

Daniel was astounded. Usually, a war strategy was to win the war with minimal cost. What Daniel told him just now was not a war, but instead a madness.

Even when he used the most insane way to fight, he would only lose twenty thousand a DAY, not five minutes. Although he might need to confirm it after this, just knowing it made him gasped.

"I see. So that was the reason why the original soldiers that were stationed here didn't want to pursue them?"

"Yes. We don't know if the enemies have more of those pills or not. If they indeed have it and used it at the last moment... I can't imagine the result." Daniel shook his head helplessly.

"Alright. You and Morgan, as well as Julius, had done an excellent job in this war and stopped me from pursuing them. The dead soldiers will be rewarded as well, so don't mind about them and rest.

"But if I could say, it seems... Putri... is it, have a major contribution to this war. If we didn't have her information, this city might have fallen, and their fangs will reach this place.

"We also need to thank her Junior Brother for his contribution. Now I want to meet him, ask someone to investigate Nemu Forest. If he is there, tell him I want to meet him. Also, the last one is that yellow-haired guy who told us about the ambush. He should be in the mercenary camp."

Bima tried to search Leoz on the battlefield. Daniel also helped him with that, but they didn't manage to find him.

"Alright. We might find him in the mercenary camp later. We should reward Putri too in the capital city. That's it. You should rest first, I will take care of the rest."

"Yes. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

They later found out that Leoz was not in the mercenary camp anymore. They tried to find him but to no avail. Leoz also didn't accept his reward, so they couldn't find him. Morgan also couldn't find his savior in his battle with Luo Tian. Of course, he didn't know it was Leoz.

...

A minute before Luo Tian died,

Alex saw the situation turn to the worst. Leaving Morgan died at the point of time served no purpose. He was not a good or bad person to think about something like this. He was a careful person. He tended to think over pros and cons before deciding.

If Morgan died at this time, Luo Tian wouldn't be a problem for them. In only a minute as well as his current condition, Luo Tian wouldn't be able to do anything after that. Both armies will lose their leader, and the situation should become standstill.

Although the Zhou Kingdom had more Martial Lords, The Southern Kingdom had an advantage in their number. But he was surprised to see a person coming to save Morgan.

When he saw his cultivation, he found out that he was a 10-Star Martial Lord. There should be only one 10-Star Martial Lord in the Southern Kingdom since they were not like the Zhou Kingdom. Because of that, Alex immediately realized that he was the most important person in this kingdom.

In Morgan's case, Alex could say Luo Tian only had a minute left. But in this case, Alex couldn't say that again, he should reword his word to Luo Tian still had a minute left.

His prediction was correct. Luo Tian immediately charged at this new person, trying to kill him.

If this person died, then the situation won't be good for him. But if Luo Tian died, the war should be over.

Whether the Southern Kingdom will chase them or not, Alex already knew the answer. The soldiers who participated in this battlefield wouldn't want to chase them after going through that nightmare.

If they chased them, they should prepare for retaliation, and it would be another nightmare. Alex sighed a bit before telling Leoz, "Leoz, if push comes to shove, try to help that new old man. Make sure he doesn't die. After that, we will immediately leave this battlefield."

"Are you sure, Young Master?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

And it turned out he was right, Leoz saw Luo Tian had a chance to kill Bima. Alex gave that order to Leoz because he saw that the old man was fighting alone.

The old man must be clueless as fighting alone against Luo Tian at this moment might be the worst thing he could do. The reinforcement also focused on suppressing Zhou Soldiers instead of finishing Luo Tian.

Leoz then used his lightning once again. He made a circle with his hands. Lightning spark started gathering in his eyes before Leoz suddenly opened his hands wide.

The yellow lightning got bigger, and it suddenly shot toward Luo Tian's spear. The previous lightning ball suddenly turned into a ferocious thunder dragon. It bit Luo Tian lightning and made him miss his target, Bima.

After he got saved, Bima immediately made a counterattack. He blew Luo Tian away, and at that time, Luo Tian's time... specifically, the Berserk Pill's time had ended. Luo Tian died with a blow that shouldn't kill him.

Leoz then disappeared to meet Alex. Alex nodded at him, "Let's go."

Alex made a Space Gate, and both of them fled using that gate. They appeared again in the Nemu Forest. Alex leaned his back on a tree as he let out a relieved sigh.

"Young Master, are you sure we didn't need to stay on the battlefield anymore?" Leoz only asked him because he was concerned about the Gacha Tickets and EXPs. He already knew that the war had reached its conclusion.

"Yeah."

"So, what is your plan now?"

"Hmm, I will call Anna first." Alex took out Anna's card, "Anna, what is the situation over there?"

"We have checked several cities, but we could only find a guy who was responsible for one city. He told us the others might have gone back. Of course, he told us after Jeanne's lesson."

Alex contemplated. He should have around three months to spare before the inner disciple ranking competition. Alex turned to Leoz. "How long do we need to travel to the sect?"

"I'm sorry Young Master. I don't know the distance, and maybe you should ask Nelson." Leoz said apologetically.

"..." Alex only shook his head and took out Nelson's card. "Nelson, how long do I need to travel to the sect from Nemu Forest?"

"Nemu Forest? Hmm, Young Master is with Leoz, right?"

"Yeah."

"If he carried you, you should be able to reach Heavenly Sword Sect in a week."

"A week..." Alex was surprised because he didn't know it took him that long.

"Yeah. The Southern Kingdom was a bit far from Heavenly Sword Sect. You might need to pass Mount Hua Sect's territory before you could reach Heavenly Sword Sect Territory."

"I see, thank you." Alex thanked him. He was wondering if he should go back after this or stay here for his revenge. He needed to decide whether to take his revenge now or wait after the Inner Disciple Ranking Tournament.

To do his revenge, he only had to breakthrough to 7-Star Martial Grandmaster and trained two rank 4 Arrays. He might only need around two months for that.
