Hearing Vernon's words, all the soldiers felt a rush of adrenaline. As the president, Vernon's speech was relatively diplomatic, but the translated meaning was clear—once they invaded Darsia, they could do whatever they wanted.They were a pack of wolves, while all Darsia had left were sheep.In an instant, all the warriors raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the president!"Hearing that, Vernon finally heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, people were inherently greedy. As long as they were given enough benefits, they would forget everything else.He slowly turned his head to look at Darsia, and the corners of his mouth twitched up. "Next, I'll become the supreme ruler of the world!"…At the same time, in the sky, Amez stared intently at Darsia. His gaze was much better than that of mortals, and he could see things they couldn't.He could clearly see that Darsia was filled with energy, which must be the legendary Pathic Energies. These energies were nurtured in each doma

Upon hearing Kaiser's report, Roman's and the ghost kings' expressions immediately froze. Darsia opening fire first meant they were about to make the first move. If their military department started the offensive, the question then was whether the immortals would join in.Of course they should. The other side had Amez and six deputy deities, as well as thousands of deities backing them up. That was practically like sending a lamb to slaughter.It wasn't that they were afraid of dying—they had been prepared for death for a while now. It was just that this moment had come so suddenly and quickly that it was hard to wrap their heads around it.Not joining in the offensive didn't seem to make sense. Was there really a reason to just stand by and watch the mortals get slaughtered? If so, staying here served no purpose—it would have been better to escape ahead of time.Candace's voice rang out again, accompanied by laughter. "Attacking first means choosing death proactively. I like that.

Vernon's voice was loud, and he had given his orders quickly, but he overlooked one important issue—in this kind of life-and-death situation, no one could remain calm.After all, everyone could be obliterated by the shellfire at any moment. The overwhelming fear disrupted their formations. And once that happened, it could cause immeasurable loss.In just one minute, nearly 80 percent of the battleships had suffered some level of damage, with fewer than 20 percent still capable of countering the attacks.However, the barrage of shells continued to rain down relentlessly, almost as if they had a mind of their own, hitting the battleships with precision. Some had even sunken—not due to a fire, but because they were literally split in two. They sank to the ocean floor, unable to stay afloat.The commanders had no choice but to hurry to Vernon's side."Mr. President, our situation is critical! I've already lost two battleships!""What do we do now, Mr. President? All our plans have be

The remaining commanders were stunned when they heard this. They never expected Vernon to be so forceful, or rather, outright tyrannical, showing no regard for reason.The commander from before had already been severely beaten up right after lashing our. Now, Vernon was even saying that anyone who dared to disobey his orders would die.The commanders had come here hoping for a plan, but they got this kind of response instead."Hm?" Vernon's expression turned cold when he noticed the others hadn't responded. It was a stark contrast to the previously anxious Vernon.The commanders all wanted to speak, but Vernon's intimidating look stopped them, forcing them to swallow their words.They exchanged glances, thinking that if they did indeed lose, it would be Vernon's burden to bear, anyway, and they wouldn't be held much responsible. Moreover, they believed that ultimately, their victory in this war was assured.Even if the Mortal Realm was massacred, there was no reason they would lo
