Lord of the Truth

Chapter 844: Meeting of generals



Above the main gate of Jura City---

Like most cities of this era, the city was surrounded by a wall that was around 10 meters high and 3 meters thick. These kinds of walls could easily repel mortal armies, and even withstand blows from those in the Knighthood Domain, and the city gate was naturally the thickest point in the wall.

After Robin's orders to assemble, Richard and the rest of the generals didn't know where to go, as the city was surrounded by a heavy negative aura that had grown darker after the battles that had taken place in the past few days, and in front of the walls, the soldiers were in a state of agitation... So they decided to set up an open tent above the gate and wait there. "Aeew~~" Elizabeth leaned back until her gentle face was facing the sky, "Dealing with those soldiers is too tiring!"

"Ellie, how can that be what you're thinking now? Don't you care about what happened in the Sacred Tree Continent?" Victoria smiled a rare smile and shook her head, "Whenever I tried to contact one of the people I left in the administration in the Water Continent, they didn't respond."

"There's no one to respond anymore, that's why!" Martin Barnett, Caesar's first lieutenant and the one in charge of the Flame Forces in his absence, gritted his teeth tightly, "I know I shouldn't have, but I used the instant space portal and sneaked a look at the capital of the Flame Continent to see what happened, but I didn't find the capital that stood tall of more than 30 thousand years, there were only ruins!"

"No worries, no worries- Maybe your family managed to escape safely." Elizabeth showed a smile that stole the hearts of everyone present, even Martin himself calmed down a little.

However, he stared at her face for a few seconds, "I don't understand you... Aren't you worried about your family like me? What about you, General Victoria? What about you, Governor Alexander? Is there something I'm missing here?"

Alexander at this moment had his hands behind his back and was standing on the edge of the wall watching the agitated soldiers, "We are in a state of war, things like this happen so get used to it, if we panic then what would happen to the soldiers? Pull yourself together, they need us strong."

Martin wanted to respond quickly and tell him that he was human and it was natural to worry about his family, but he stopped himself when he saw Alexander clutching his hand, so he sighed and was silent...

He almost forgot that Alexander had a large family consisting of several wives and dozens of children, even though they were all in Greenland, but what was happening here put doubt in everyone's hearts that the rest of the planets were also being attacked, especially since the space portal of the Orphan Blood Planet were no longer available!

The only one who did not know whether to be happy or worried was Flora, if it was true that her planet was also being invaded, this meant that Aro was innocent and did not oppose the True Beginning Empire as everyone thought, but this meant that her homeland was also being attacked by those ruthless creatures!!

Another strange corner of the table was the side where the person in charge of running the Ancestral Continent, Alfred Marley, was sitting, exhausted and looking like he was fifty years old despite being a saint, and next to him was Billy, showering him with all kind of questions about what happened!

Apart from these, there were several other people, including General Cassia Levan, the First Warlord Julian, and the person in charge of the Shadow Swords, Charles Burton, and many others, but no one said anything, everyone was in deep silence, each one thinking about something different.

Even Richard was sitting to the left of the main chair with his eyes closed, everyone was stealing glances at him from time to time, some knew who he was and some didn't, and in both cases everyone was wondering what he was doing with them and why he dared to sit there next to His Excellency's chair!

But no one dared to say a word in any case, everyone here followed Alexander, and as long as he was silent, everyone would be silent.

*Bzzzzt*n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

At this moment, an instantaneous space portal appeared above Jura City and a person covered in blood came out of it. That person began to scan the surroundings until his eyes fell on Jura's main gate, so he flew towards it.

*Quick* *Quick*

All the people sitting pushed their chairs back and immediately stood up, giving the military salute, "Supreme General."

*Swoosh**Step* *Step*

"You may rest." Caesar looked grumpy, pale, and even tired, but he steadily advanced, patted Richard's shoulder twice, and passed him to sit on the right of the empty main seat, "Argh what should I do with you, brother? Until the battle of the Imperial Capital, I was fighting as usual and enduring my technical problems in silence, but those wings have now become like drugs to me, I can't stop thinking about them while fighting!"

"Sorry about that, but as you know, I can't stay with you all the time, maybe you should talk to our father for a suitable solution and I will be happy to help." Richard smiled lightly. "Unfortunately, you're right." Caesar sighed deeply, then looked at Richard again, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

Everyone looked at Richard in surprise waiting for the answer, they all now knew his identity from his words with Caesar, shouldn't he be a rebellious boy who hates his father? What is he doing among the generals?!

"I think you should wait for the announcement from our father first." Richard shook his head, how could he respond when he himself didn't know? He asked to travel with the army only but Robin told him to attend the meeting, he himself didn't know what he was doing here.

Caesar shrugged and didn't say anything, whatever he had to wait for wouldn't take long "Um, Your Highness, you have a blood spot here.." From the side, Victoria pointed to Caesar under his eye

"Oh, here?" Caesar rubbed the area with his finger but spread the blood more

"Excuse me." Smiling, Victoria left her seat and went to stand behind Caesar, and with a light movement of her hand, she gathered some water from the air and washed Caesar's face herself, her cold expression that she always maintained disappeared and turned into one of warmth and submission.

She then used the water to wash his hair which was also soaked in blood, then turned the water into hot steam and passed it over his armor, making it shine again as if he had just left the store, "Hmm, this is how the Supreme General should look!"

"Um, thank you.." Caesar nodded twice, not knowing what to say more.

Sitting in front of him, Richard laughed softly and looked down.

"Hey Vivi, do you need help there? Hehe." Elizabeth rested her chin on the back of her hand

and chuckled.

"No thanks!" Victoria gave her a sideways glance and then returned to her seat as if nothing

had happened.

*Shnnnnn*

At that moment, space split, and Robin emerged from it, his hands behind his back, "I see

everyone is here."
