LAZARUS REGULUS
312 Chapter. The Cruel Leader.
The Southern region of the Cerulean Forest was seen swarms of Green Forest Drake, Earth Wyvern, Forest Wyvern, Earth Drake and some low rank Beasts and was going to the lair of the Silver Dragon Soldrake.
"Urs, I only have a few followers unlike Darkness Fang, Black Cloud and Hei Lan." The Silver Dragon Soldrake said.
"No, I think this Beast herd is enough because Black Cloud will join us." Lazarus says.
Lazarus rode the back of the Phoenix Linwood Forest, then flew over the 7000 troops made up of several members of the Kingdom/Empire and Great Power saved by Julian and the others.
"Do you want to come with me to fight?" Lazarus shouting.
Everyone trembled to hear Lazarus say to war. Everyone has different expressions and different thoughts.
"I am not forcing you to go to war with me. I know you are from different Kingdoms/Empires and Great Powers. You each have a purpose to go to the Cerulean Forest, if you do not want to join the fight, go from the team and get out of the Cerulean Forest. Remember the choice is in your hands, I won't give you a chance twice." Lazarus shouting.
1,000 men left Lazarus' army, those who were saved and gathered by Lazarus' army.
"Sir, why should we sacrifice our lives? Wouldn't it be better for us to leave the Cerulean Forest?" A disheveled brown-haired burly man with a mustache, beard and sideburn shouted.
"Master, the war in the Cerulean Forest is none of our business! We should all go out of the Cerulean Forest to save ourselves. Survival is more important than anything." A Beastman Mouse said.
1,000 men stepped out of the army of Lazarus. They were Markenary, Adventurers, Criminals and Members of the Great Powers who had no connection about this war.
"Wait!"
"Sir, what do you want? Didn't you tell us to leave?" A long green haired curly man with blue eyes asked.
"Have you forgotten about something? Return the Potions and Artifacts that my group has given you!" Lazarus shouting.
"Haha. Sir, we are not asking you for help! Remember, it is you who volunteered to help us. Why do we have to hand over the Potions and Artifacts that you have already given?" A brown-haired Legendary realm man and blue eyes laughed.
Julian and all the members of the Lazarus army gritted their teeth. They regret helping the ungrateful.
"Haha. Your lives are none of my business because you are not a member of my army. Remember I am not a benefactor who saves you for free. Those Artifacts and Potions belonged to the people who died while fighting against the Beasts and the Alliance Army. Those who have actually saved you, as saved people, shouldn't you know how to return the favor?" Lazarus asked.
Julian, Magnolia, Kaguya, Yun Shan and the others stared at the 1000 troops. They knew that everything Lazarus said was reasonable, Potions and Artifacts given to those 1000 people could save the lives of their army members while on the battlefield.
The 1700 men thought only of themselves and thought nothing of the Lazarus group and army. Why should they be willing to give such precious Artifacts and Potions to insular and ungrateful people like them.
200 People changed their minds knowing that without the help of Lazarus' army. They would have been killed long ago and they should have returned the favor to Lazarus and his army.
"Mr Urs, we don't have our Fighting Job just Black Smiths, Alchemists and Herbalists who won't help much in the upcoming war." An Elf woman said.
"Master Urs, although our Black Smith Skill is not as great as the Dwarves. However, we will help to search for Materials, refine and create Artifacts for the upcoming war." A green haired skinny man smiled widely.
Lazarus smiled Job Alchemist, Black Smith and Herbalist were very helpful within the Lazarus army. It seemed that they had gone to the Cerulean Forest to find rare Herbs and Materials controlled by some of the Marcenary.
"I'll accept you." Lazarus says.
"Master Urs, I can't stand it! Shouldn't we kill those 1500 ungrateful people?" Heracles shouted as he let out an aura of the Mythical realm.
"Urs, give the order! I'll kill them all!" Carissa yelling.
A burly man with long gray hair and silver eyes stepped towards the Lazarus army. That person gave off the aura of the Mythical realm and was the most powerful person within that group of troops.
"Haha. Young man, my name is Mountain Destroyer Even! Let us go or we will attack you all, even if we lose. You will get a significant loss! Also give us the Unique Potion Rank, the Legendary Rank Epic Potion Artifact and the best quality Epic Rank Artifact! Leave all the Herbalists, Alchemists and Black Smith on your side! We will forgive and forget your humiliation this time!" Even shouted while laughing out loud.
The 1500 people took out their weapon Artifacts. They thought that although Lazarus had 3 times more troops, they were much stronger than Lazarus.
"I'm sorry I healed you!" Magnolia screaming.
Even licked her lips. "Young man, also hand over the woman with the Light Dragon mask. She has a healing skill and it looks like she's a beautiful woman."
"Haha. Bastard, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you! I saved you and gave you all to survive. However, you dare to threaten and blackmail me!" Lazarus gave off a bloodthirsty aura.
Lazarus' men grit their teeth, but Sebastian immediately stops them from attacking because Lazarus has a plan.
"Remember we are now in the Cerulean Forest. Here there were no such laws in the Kingdom and the Empire in the outside world only the strong people survived. Strength is everything and the weak will just die!" Even smiled broadly.
"Whoever doesn't want to fight get out of the way, then leave your Potions and Artifacts and get out of here!" Lazarus shouting.
50 Men got away from Even's army, they knew that a battle was coming. They thought they would follow who won this battle. Wouldn't they benefit, regardless of the outcome in this battle.
"Soldrake, Magna, Ragnar, Reiga, Kaguya and Alcander killed them all and took all the Artifacts and Potions we had given them. Sebastian took the Potions and Artifacts from those 50 people, when they refused to kill them!" Lazarus commanded.
The 3 adult Dragon Tails flew quickly out of the Silver Dragon Soldrake's lair and surrounded Even's army. Kaguya, Alcander and Reiga immediately attack Even's forces.
Even the one who saw the 3 Dragon Beasts and the 3 people who were slaughtering his people trembled in fear. He sensed these people were not normal people and had already experienced many battles.
"Bang!!" Alcander attacked Even using his spear Artifacts. The sound of metal clashing sounded extremely loud, Even felt his hand grip go numb as their weapon Artifacts clashed.
"Do you think I'm a weak person!" Even strengthened his aura where the fire elements gathered and surrounded him.
2 Hours later the battle ended. Seen in the middle of the Even Battlefield and 5 people of the Legendary realm kneeled with bloody wounds. A white spear was seen 1 Cm away on Even's neck.
The members of Lazarus army were shocked because the 1500-man army was defeated by the 3 Beast Dragons and 3 People with great ease.
"They are quite strong, but their opponent is the 3 Beast King." Magna said as she stared at the corpses around her. Lazarus had already told Magna that he should not use poison, acid and corrosive gases to fight with them because the other troops would be affected and Artifacts as well as Potions would not be destroyed.
Lazarus approached Even while riding on Linwood's back.
"Mr Urs, I'm sorry! Please forgive my life and I will fight with you!" Even pleaded.
"Even, didn't you tell me that strength is everything and only the strong can survive. I've given you opportunities many times, but you didn't hear them."
"Mr Urs, I'm sorry! When the Four Continent Marcenary Guild found out, you had already killed me. Then they will take revenge and kill you!" Even shouting.
"Haha. The Cerulean Forest has no eyes and no mouth. Even a King and Emperor could have died in the Cerulean Forest. Your title, rank, and background here are useless." Lazarus said, then whispered in Alcander's ear. "Kill him!"
"May the Gods give you a painful death! I'll wait for you in Aby.." Even shouted, but before he finished his words. Alcander's been beheading Even.
Kaguya and Reiga also kill the others after seeing Alcander decapitate Even.
"I've often heard people swear at me. But it looks like we won't meet in the Abyss." Lazarus murmuring.
All the members of Lazarus' army stared at Lazarus. They are grateful to have chosen the right choice. If they choose wrongly, maybe they will have the same fate as Even and others.
"My name is Urs The North, I can't promise you all that you will be able to get out alive from the Cerulean Forest. The enemy had already installed an Artifact named Absolute Domain that covered all the exits of the Cerulean Forest. But I swear on behalf of the Gods I will protect you as a good leader. But if you dare to betray me. Perhaps you already know the fate of all those who dared to betray me." Lazarus shouting.
Everyone was horrified when they saw the bodies of Even and his tragically dead army.
"Urs The North!" Magnolia cheering.
All the squads cheered following the Magnolia.
Lazarus walked over to Julian. "Remember the mountaintops inspire the leaders, but the valleys that mature them. Everyone will follow a leader they think they deserve to follow and a leader who is too smart, stupid, kind or cruel does not deserve to be a leader."
"Urs, do I deserve to be an Emperor?" Julian asked.
"Everything requires a process and in the future you will become an Emperor beyond Agathias." Lazarus says.
"Thank you."
"Sebastian, gather the people who have Job Black Smith, Herbalist and Alchemist. It seems that in these few months we should be getting ready for the coming war!" Lazarus shouting.
"Haha. All right, I'll do it and are there any other orders?" Sebastian asked.
"Go with the Ronin and Linwood to oversee the war in the eastern region of the Cerulean Forest. Gather as much information as possible and report it to me. In the enemy alliance army, I have many spies and they will cooperate with you." Lazarus throws a list of names of spies at Sebastian.
"Haha. Make enemies become friends, then use them to spread information so that enemy forces suspect each other and eventually they are divided into each other. Urs, you are a very cunning man, but evil and cunning are no match for you." Sebastian laughing.
"Free, what do you mean?"
"As your shadow let me do the wicked and cunning plan." Sebastian answered.
"Fuck!! Lazarus, you have to explain all this!" Iris shouted from within the lair of the Silver Dragon Soldrake.
"Damn! Will I die before this war begins!" Lazarus murmuring.
...****************...
"Baxia, do you hear me?"
"Urs, what's going on?"
"May I turn into an Emperor Beast?" Lazarus asked.
"Are you dealing with the Beast herd?" Baxia asked.
"No! I'm dealing with the humanoid race that is cooperating with the Beast!"
"I can't allow it anymore the balance of the world would be chaotic when it sensed the aura of an Emperor Beast. Planet Antares itself will try to kill you or Planet Antares will send you forcibly to Planet Auriga. Planet Auriga is not in my domain, but a Beast power slightly stronger than me." Baxia.
"Alright, I understand and will you be able to send some Beasts to pick up the Beast King Mountain Turtle? He was an old land turtle beast the size of a hill. He'd love to go to your back to enjoy the rest of his life." Lazarus says.
"Alright, I'll send some Beasts to pick him up. Urs, I can't feel your existence. Are you in Yggdrasil Forest, Dragon Valley, Cerulean Forest or a Barrier rank Void?" Baxia asked.
"I'm in the Cerulean Forest! Baxia, quickly send the Beast King your follower."
"They're on their way it looks like in 6 months they're at your place. If they don't visit their families and territories first."
"Thank you." Lazarus says.
