Lord of the Truth

A few days later - The northern region of Planet Nihari - In one of the alleys of the capital of Azil

*CRACK* *CRACK*

The stones in the wall began to stick out in a certain way until they finally formed Richard's face, "Third Brother, did you summon me?"

In front of the stone face, there was only one person. The scars on his face made him almost featureless. There were entire pieces of skin on his face that were missing. He also became one-eyed after an injury that blew out his left eye. There were a few fingers that looked like new without a single scratch on them, and this is strange compared to the rest of his body, and this is because he only regenerates injuries that may affect his life or combat abilities... He was Peon, the Martial Emperor Peon.

"His Excellency responded to my request, support is coming... He also gave the green light to start a full war on the Azil tribe if this is necessary to protect you, and he also allocated any number of wind and lightning users we need to come and help even if we do not choose to start the total war with the north. He has told the messenger in the text that I can summon the entire army of the Empire at any time I wish... Everything is up to you now, what do you intend to do?"

The stone face looked confused for a moment, not knowing what to say, "...He agreed to declare war? Didn't you tell me to invade two other planets and prepare for a big war in Nihari in a few years? Is he really ready to start a war in the heart of the northern region right now for me? ... I did not ask you to gather the army for me, my third brother, why did you send the request anyway? I told you that I am planning something and will not leave my residence before implementing it, please leave the city!! Don't worry about me, in the worst case I can stop the kidnappings for a while and everything will calm down again..."

"Foolish! It was possible to stop three years ago, but not after you went this far. Do you think they would leave you alone if you stopped now?! Three years ago, the entire Azil tribe flipped upside down because of your killing of Shamson, even though I warned you not to do it, and since then, those who have been searching for you are Martial Emperors!! Do you think that staying in your small palace and manipulating your surroundings from a distance will be enough to fool Martial Emperors who have lived for thousands of years? Do you think that even stopping completely will stop them from finding you?! How long will your tricks last before them before they follow the incidents and reach the power source in the end? A month Maybe two? We've been buying you time for three years!!" Peon shouted at him in a very harsh voice. It was clear that the three years had not gone well

Indeed, the last three years were as far from peaceful as possible... After the new head of the investigation team, Salidar began to follow up on the situation personally, he was beginning to tighten the screws on Richard little by little, so Peon and dozens of forces of wind and darkness decided to intervene to sabotage the investigations as much as possible, so they put fake evidence everywhere and they used the Soul Enslavement technique to make some giants do all the dirty work for them, but this was not enough, so they started assassinating the members of the investigation team.

The investigation team faced major problems in the first year of the restructuring, to the point that the Martial Emperor Salidar himself asked for help from his brothers and the sons who reached the Martial Emperor's Realm, which made the situation worse and caused the discovery and death of more than half of the Wind and Darkness forces in the city within a short period, and this made the situation turned for the worse at this point because of the appearance of the members of the Wind and Darkness Teams, they are all tall humans with fragile bones, the same race as Richard!

The new investigation chief, Salidar, began to closely monitor Richard, and found sophisticated ways to trap the rest of the Wind and Darkness, forcing the rest to hide for a while and forcing Richard to calm the game for a while. However, the investigation team, consisting of a number of Azil Emperors, was closing in on them every day!

The situation changed again when Peon broke into the Martial Emperor's Realm, followed by two more members of his team several months later. With three Martial Emperors on their side and with the help of the Divine Decree Embodiment Technique, Peon did not restrain himself any longer and began a counterattack.

They assassinated all the original members of the investigation team, only the Martial Emperors remained at the end of that day. Then they isolated the weakest Martial Emperor in the Azil tribe and killed him.

As for Richard, He took advantage of the momentum and launched the largest kidnapping campaign, where more than 100,000 giants disappeared within a few days.

This series of terrible incidents shook the entire Azil tribe and even the entire northern region.

Panic struck the city and its rich residents began to flee, and even poor citizens took to the streets like madmen, demanding that the gates be opened for them, but the gate guards prevented them by force.

The leader of the Azil tribe, Dawoodar, went crazy as he saw his world collapsing around him. The feeling of shame that the first Martial Emperor to be killed in the northern region in hundreds of years was one of his grandchildren overwhelmed him as he ordered all the known Emperors of the Azil tribe to go out and destroy the city if necessary to search for those who caused the accidents and mutilate their bodies. These orders launched a devastating campaign that caused the destruction of approximately 10% of the Azil tribe's capital, but it also caused the death of the rest of the Wind and Darkness team within the Azil tribe city. One of the Emperors with Peon was also found and killed. Only Peon and another person managed to survive that campaign.

There was one strange thing that happened immediately after that, which slowed down the momentum of the Martial Emperors of the Azil tribe, which gave Peon and his companion a chance to catch their breath, and it also allowed Richard to kidnap another 20,000 victims... TheMartial Emperors of the Ashira tribe and the Bazuna tribe arrived as *guests* of the Azil tribe, and after them came more Martial Emperors from five other giants' tribes!!

All of them ostensibly came to talk about important business and demanded that only Emperors like them come and talk to them. Or they said that they came to see the sights and demanded that one of the Emperors of the Azil tribe accompany them, they all also refused to leave before meeting their demands. When they were ignored for a while, they began to cause problems, and destroy a few restaurants and bars because they were venting their anger!

Of course, their presence at this particular time and their ferocious behavior were evidence that they had come to fish in troubled waters after hearing about what was happening in the Azil tribe, Every northern tribe wanted a piece of whatever was going on! It is not in their interest for the kidnapping and killing operations to stop and for security to return to the Azil tribe.

Even if there is apparent peace between the Azil tribe and the rest of the northern tribes, it is still a strong competing tribe, and they have recently become the richest of the northern tribes. How can they not kick them when they see them down?

The leader of the tribe, Dawoodar, destroyed half of his palace in a fit of anger after more than 30 Martial Emperors from the rest of the northern tribes met in his city. How could he not know what they were thinking? But he also could not provoke any of them, otherwise even the apparent peace would collapse, so he was forced to assign a number of Emperors of the Azil tribe to accompany the visitors and see the deals they wanted so that the situation would not deteriorate.

Of course, he soon discovered that they wanted to rob them blind... The thing that is worth a thousand gold coins, they wanted to buy it with one coin, otherwise they would not leave.

Dawoodar's intense anger almost prompted him to give the order to kill all the *guests*, but his hiding ancestors prevented him more than once.

As for Richard, he was more preoccupied with the busyness of the Emperors of the Uzail tribe. He kidnapped and killed 150,000 new victims, and his circle of control expanded insanely until it covered the lands of the entire capital of the Azil tribe. Also, Peon and his companion used the soul enslavement technique on the favorite prostitute of one of the Emperors of the Uzail tribe who was continuing the investigation, so they made her use a certain poison to weaken him, then they set an elaborate ambush for him, killed him, and then hung him by the neck on one of the city gates.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back... The entire army of the Azil tribe took to the streets that same night.
