Councilman Floyd and Councilman Homer returned to the highest floating platform where the other council members, as well as the seven projections of the rulers, were waiting.
They were going to make their report on what had transpired down on the stage. Although this was not really necessary since everybody there had been paying attention to them in the first place.
As soon as both councilmen arrived at the platform, they were not even given a chance before a council member spoke.
"So, you lost the boy, didn't you!"
This was a very sarcastic remark.
The person who had spoken just now was a young-looking man who looked like he was in his late twenties. He had a handsome appearance and an arrogant look in his eyes.
Even facing Councilman Floyd and Councilman Homer, who was much older than he was, this young man did not seem respectful at all as he wore his arrogance on his face.
The young man did not stop, and he continued speaki
Councilman Floyd's question may seem weird...Why was he asking if this was the first time that some of the council members were officially assuming the post of marshal?What did it mean, exactly?Actually, there was really nothing to this question at all.Everybody knew about the thirteen seats of the Royal Aeth Council as well as the thirteen members that each held a seat at the council. Apart from the seven rulers, these thirteen council members held the highest authority in the whole Aeth civilization.The seven Aeth rulers held supreme power and authority over the entire civilization whereas, the thirteen council members were responsible for the day-to-day administration of all matters related to the civilization as a whole. There was nobody who did not recognize the duty and authority of the royal council.But actually, apart from normal administrative duties, there is another hidden significance of the thirteen seats of the royal Aeth
As soon as the portal opened up in the sky above the ocean, everybody's attention was drawn to it and, following the appearance of those warships coming out of the portal, cheers immediately burst out among the people who were watching this scene.The Aeth and all those who were involved or implicated in one way or the other due to this sudden invasion by the Shades were immediately invigorated by the quick response of the Aeth.With the appearance of the Aeth army, everybody was relieved.It should be noted that the live broadcast was still online, and the feed had not been cut off. Everybody that had been watching the previously chosen ceremony was still able to witness the invasion of the Shades.From the moment Carrum went on a rampage and transformed into a Decadent Horror, to when he was killed by Arran. Followed by the subsequent appearance of Shade Lord Scholler as well as Shade Lord Kremlin and Shade Lord Dark Nether. Everything had been shown on
The Aeth had finally made their move and their most powerful army was sent to resist the Shade's invasion.The name of the Seven Kings Army was renowned through the ether upper realm and so was their emblem.The emblem of the Seven Kings Army was a giant purple planet surrounded by seven blazing stars of different colors that were shaped like crowns against a grey background.This emblem represented both the Etherium as the homeworld of the Aeth and the seven different colored suns that were shaped like crowns naturally represented the seven rulers of the Aeth. As for the grey background... it represented the desolate empty space.This emblem signified that the Seven Kings Army was the protector of the Aeth and they would always spearhead the defense and expansion of the Aeth race.Everywhere the Seven Kings Army went, as long as this emblem continued to fly, the Seven Kings Army would never back down from their duty of defending the Aeth.R
The war had finally begun, and both sides were at each other's throats.With the opening volley of cannon fire from the Seven Kings Army, the Shades ragtag group of mercenaries quickly followed up with a salvo of return fire too.Although the Shade Commander in charge of this first wave of troops was apprehensive of fighting with the Seven Kings Army, he could not remain passive and be a sitting duck to shoot at.Even though the chances of wiping out this small troop in front of him, he still gave the order to attack.With a commanding tone of voice, the Shade Commander commanded, "Relay my orders!""All troops, immediately attack.""Deploy the drones! Focus suppressive fire on their main ships and target their cannons. I want those cannons out of commission.""Team one and team two, you're to move ahead and engage directly while team three tries to break away from the encirclement and draw away some of their firepower. Try as much as
The Shade commander was thinking of the best way to resolve the current situation.How was he going to make sure that they survived without losing too much of their strength?How could he reduce the number of casualties on his side?That was when the Shade commander suddenly realized that there was no way to do this at all.Right now, they had already lost the initiative and were at the mercy of the Seven Kings Army. There was no way he was getting out of this without losing a lot of troops, and he could only care about his own life without sparing any thought of the lives of others.If that was the case, then everything was simple.If he wasn't able to get out of this situation without severe loss of life, then he would not care about the cost at all.What the Shade commander wanted to do was throw the lives of his men at the Aeth to buy time for himself until the main force arrived. After all, they were not really his men, but were
Just as General Beckham was thinking about the sudden movements of the Shade forces, two points of light appeared behind him with immediately condensed into holographic images of two people in military uniform that were similar to General Beckham's.These two people were also general's of the Seven Kings Army and they were in command of the remaining two battleships. The three of them were equals in rank, but General Beckham was given overall command during this operation, so they had to consult with him in regard to what strategies to employ against the invasion troops.One of the generals who had just appeared did not waste time as he immediately started speaking, "General Beckham, I am sure you've received the report.""It looks like these waves of troops can no longer hold on and have requested for a battleship to support them. Do we do something to delay this until this wave is completely wiped out?"Hearing this question, the other general, a female
Thirty minutes ago...After Arran had killed Carrum when he was suddenly ambushed by Shade Lord Scholler and the events following after.Right now, those people who had been forcefully corrupted by Shade Lord Scholler were rampaging throughout the venue of the chosen ceremony. There was chaos and pandemonium everywhere, and casualties appeared in a matter of seconds.Many Aeth were injured with varying degrees of wounds on their bodies. Fortunately, the council members were prepared, and they immediately reacted quickly to curb the unrest. Also, because the Aeth were a resilient race, even though everybody had been caught by surprise and panicked, there were no deaths and only a few minor or major injuries.The people that had been the most affected were those participants who had already been eliminated from the ceremony. Especially those who had come in contact with Carrum during the previous rounds.Because Carrum was the source of the infection
Charmy's and Eris' worry about Arran was great, and they were having a hard time not knowing what to do to help him. In the first place, Arran should not have been implicated in this matter.Although it was not known if the Shades were aware of Arran's presence or not and that he had something to do with the reappearance of the World Essence Pulse Bracers, the fact that the Shades are using this chosen ceremony to stir up trouble definitely meant that they had ideas towards the artifact, to begin with.Almost all major powers in the ether knew how powerful the seven ultimate treasures of the Aeth were. They were a major part of the reason why the Aeth were able to become the overlord of this upper realm. None of the seven could stay separate from the prosperity and decline of the Aeth.When the World Essence Pulse Bracers had gone missing, it did not become common knowledge of. Apart from the Aeth, a few other powerful forces in the Ether, this information was n
