Lord of the Truth

Chapter 966: Planet R2



Planet R2--

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

"Stop!" Peon raised his hand and then clenched his fist, about ten thousand soldiers behind him stood still like idols.

"....." Peon stared ahead for a few more seconds, then simply pulled out a chair from his space ring and sat on it.

*Clank* *Clank*

At this moment, a huge battle was taking place in front of Peon, a battle that had nothing to do with him.

About two or three thousand from the Great Serpent Empire's army, against a third party of at least five thousand people.

These people were the same height and weight as humans, but they had four large claws extending from each arm, big black eyes, and huge teeth showing, and they had big black ears and a dark tail that moved freely and fought like a hand or a leg, these creatures looked a bit like rats!

Although these demi-rats had an overwhelming numerical advantage, the battle was hardly evenly matched. Their powerful claws, tails, and fangs were causing some damage, and their method of diving underground to protect themselves and then attacking from below onto their unsuspecting victims was also terrifying.

However, whenever the demi-snakes used the Minor Law of Corrosion, they would easily bring down their opponents.

Furthermore, the quality of the weapons also leaned towards the Great Serpent Empire's

army.

"It's the Golden Army, retreat!!" One of the officers of the Great Serpent Empire's army shouted in panic and flew north, after which the rest began to back away one by one.

This wasn't the first time they had seen Peon and his men. He had divided his army into five divisions and set off in different directions. By now, they had covered almost a quarter of the planet, killing a few hundred demi-snakes while the rest fled north.

But Peon wasn't in a hurry at all. As long as he could sweep all the serpent scum in one place, it would be easy for him to finish them off.

"Alright, we'll continue moving forward." Peon stood up and put his chair in the space ring again. Whenever he appeared, the demi-snakes would flee north, and whenever one of those rat creatures saw him, they would sink into the ground in moments, leaving no trace of them. So he learned not to dismantle the army formation again for no reason. He decided to first gather the half-snakes in the north and kill them, then deal with those creatures living underground.

But at that moment something different happened: "Hey!"

"Hmm?" Peon turned slightly towards the source of the voice, although it was dark as usual when these creatures came out, he easily noticed that one of the rat-like creatures had not dived underground.

Peon activated the instant translation technique and shouted at him, "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else is there to talk to?" The rat-like creature shouted at him, "Our king wants to know about you, who are you?"

|| ." Peon remained silent for a moment, deciding what to do, and whether he should reveal facts to these locals that might turn hostile at any given moment.

These creatures are very numerous and strong, and their way of moving underground is terrifying, even though they are weaker than the Great Serpent army they managed to hold on to parts of the planet thanks to their strategies, as of course, there is nothing scarier than something you cannot see...

If he told them that they were also a planetary empire, they might ally with the demi-snakes against them, that would be extremely bad!

Peon raised his eyebrows slightly as he thought about this, *aren't snakes the natural enemies of rats? There is no way they would ever get along!*

He opened his mouth and shouted, "We are enemies of the Great Serpent Planetary Empire and have come to hunt them down at their footholds."

"Squeak! We will chase them away, go back to where you came from!" The rat-like creature shouted firmly.

"You think you are now enough to drive them out because of their small numbers, right? It's because of their war against us, you rat-head. Most of their forces came to fight us on another planet, You should thank us!" Peon replied firmly but automatically began to extend his soul sense under his foot, trying to detect whether that rat was deliberately delaying them to give his companions a chance to attack, but found nothing for now.

"..." The rat-like creature lowered his head under the dirt for ten seconds, then raised his head and voice again, "What do you intend to do after killing the pale ones?"

"We'll stay, we didn't come to do social services for anyone." Peon declared without considering anything, "We can negotiate how we coexist together until we reach an agreement that satisfies both of us, or you can consider us new invaders and continue fighting if you want, but believe me, we're not like those demi-snakes when it comes to quelling a rebellion. If you want to make an agreement, you won't find anyone more generous and wealthy than us, and if you want hostility, you won't live to see a new day!" *Rumble*

The ten thousand soldiers and ten emperors behind Peon all unconsciously activated their auras upon hearing their general's words.

There was something that distinguished the True Beginning Empire from the Great Serpent Empire, which was the abundance of specializations.

The Treu Begining Empire had a large number of paths that they could use to crush those mouse-like creatures no matter how powerful they were. If they couldn't, His Excellency and the Sky Openning Tower are there and can always figure something out, What do they have to

fear?!

The rat-like looked down for a moment before shouting back at Peon, "...Come with me, my king wants to see you."

"I won't go to anyone, I don't need to go to anyone! Whoever wants to see me, has to come to me." Peon spoke confidently.

The person who stayed put was always in a position of power. Why would he have to go to those people to convince them of anything? If they wanted to come to an agreement, they could come. If they didn't, they could stay put and die!

"..." That rat -like person stayed put for a few more seconds without saying a word... before another mouse-like person came out next to him.

This time, that person seemed shorter, with a slightly bent figure and a helpless expression.

*Squeak* *Squeak* The two then sank to the ground and started moving towards Peon

quickly as if they were swimming.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Peon loosened his fist and then extended it like a sword, ready to send a wind blade to cut the ground in half if he felt the slightest bit of danger, but...

*Bush* *Bush*

The ground two meters in front of him punched two holes and two heads emerged from them, then they began to push themselves out of the ground until they revealed themselves in front of Peon, "I want to hear those conditions."

"...!!!" Peon opened his eyes wide, even his mouth opened wide and his hands relaxed once

again.

Those claws and fangs were metal blades and jaws, the big black eyes were lenses to protect

their real eyes under the ground, the ears were a rotating digging tool, and the tail was a

metal weapon attached to a belt around the waist.

They were humans!
