Chapter 27

The respective armies of the three Empires assembled themselves in various formations that were used for war .

The Loret Army fortified themselves on the walls of the northern gate . Ground troops were placed in front of the gate as well .

The Raven Army took the West side of the North Gate while the Tritor Army took the East side of the North Gate . This formation was clearly to attack the Loret Empire from both sides . They could flank them from both sides if the Loret Army were to be caught off-guard .

There were also many experts atop the Royal Capital who were observing the war with their senses .

The drums started to echo throughout the battlefield signalling the start of the war .

Each Commander of the respective armies took charge and led the soldiers into war .

On top of the North Gate, a silhouette of a person with a black robe could be seen . He was there for about some time listening to the conversation of these people above in the air .

His eyes were scarlet red, he scanned around the battlefield . He said to himself . 'You're the ones who came to invade, don't expect any mercy from me!'

He looked at the hopeless battlefield and uttered .

"Die!"

*THUMP*

A big heartbeat sound, akin to a resounding loud thunderclap was heard in the battlefield .

Various screams of agony echoed across the battlefield, it was more than 2 million soldiers who clutched their chest and fell down to their knees . A second later, everyone collapsed like a pillar that had lost it's foundation .

There was absolute silence in the battlefield, no one dared to talk . It felt like their souls had fallen into hell for a brief moment . This scene was so unbelievable, that they couldn't fathom what had happened .

The two Emperors were trembling in fear, their eyes wide and pale with fear . They could see that they could not detect anything as their army was executed in the blink of an eye .

Logan was trembling with excitement . He couldn't believe his eyes . He could see that his Army was not targeted for some reason .

Logan clasped his hands and bowed down in the air .

"Senior! This lowly Emperor is very thankful of your help! Do I have the honour to invite you to our Royal Castle of my Loret Empire?"

Silence again! Absolute silence!

A few minutes later

No voice could still be heard .

The two Emperors heaved a sigh of relief while Logan smiled as if a burden has been taken away from his heart .

"Sect Leaders of the Ruthless Sword Sect and Piercing Sword Sect, are you still going to watch by the side-lines? " Logan asked coldly .

The two of them immediately came behind him and hurriedly relayed .

"Emperor, we didn't betray you, we only acted with the safety of our sects in our mind . "

"Yes, yes! We didn't have any thoughts of betrayal, we only sat this one out instead of joining the other side . "

Logan watched them with comical eyes and harrumphed . He then turned around and viewed the two Emperor with a sarcastic expression .

"Huh? Why are you two bastards still staying here? Aren't your armies utterly decimated? Hurry up and scram!" Logan laughed heartily, he felt like still killing them, but he knew what was important for him .

"Don't you dare to be haughty in front of us! We will readdress this humiliation at a later date!"

"Oh? You're saying that you're going to pick a fight with… Senior?"

Emperor Raven and Emperor Tritor's face changed .

They didn't dare say anything and the four of them immediately left in the direction of their respective Empires . They left immediately because they didn't even know if that Senior was still in the Loret Empire . Their losses were immense, they've lost their military prowess and are now vulnerable to all other Empires, and if they don't return to their respective Empires, then they will suffer the same fate as once Loret Empire did, being invaded by other Empires .

Claire looked at Logan with a wronged face . Logan then immediately remembered that his son was abducted by those two Empires . His face turned ugly .

'Shit! I was so immersed with defeating them! I forgot about Davis!' Regret! Extreme regret!

He felt like utter shit right now for getting complacent with his victory over the two Empires .

Claire knew that he had forgot temporarily . Even so, she did not blame him . She thought this was what being an Emperor meant .

"Don't worry, I'll get him! I swear I'll return with him! If I can't, then take care of Clara!" Logan immediately left chasing those two Emperors who had gone atleast 1000 metres away from him .

"Don't go! I don't want to lose you too!" Claire cried out and tried to follow after him .

He hardened his heart and didn't look back or reply to her .

The Sect Leaders and the others who were there, immediately stopped Claire from following him . They received a Soul Transmission from Logan so they could only hold her back and try to protect her .

Just when he was halfway there, he got a Crystal Transmission from Hendrickson .

. . . … .

[A few minutes earlier]

While Hendrickson had just secured Clara .

In the Prison .

Davis was still experimenting on the prisoners when unbeknownst to him, a silhouette in black robes entered the Prison . There was no one standing guard in the entrance .

The silhouette entered and started searching . He went through various corridors when suddenly a voice sounded out .

"I'll avenge my comrades!"

*Slash*

The silhouette easily dodged and commented . "Oye, if you're going to sneak attack, atleast do it sneakily . "

"You wretched assassin, die!"

Bowen slashed his sword furiously at the assassin . He felt intense regret seeing his comrades die one by one from inside the Prison through special means .

The silhouette kept dodging his furious slashes . The assassin suddenly saw an opening and kicked Bowen in his stomach .

Bowen felt his stomach rumbling . He realised that the assassin was way more powerful than him .

Davis heard the commotion and came to check .

"Eh?" Davis had no idea what was going on here but soon as he saw the silhouette in black robes, he had an idea .

"Oh, the kid is here, lucky, hehe!" The silhouette laughed .

"Who are you? Mister?" Davis asked with an innocent face .

"Prince Davis, run!" Bowen had lost all hope in being able to protect him .
