First clash

"All subjects, on your knees!" A majestic voice sounded off from above, its voice sounding commanding alongside with the prideful screech of the emperor of the oceans, the hybrid eagle and whale known as Wagle. Wagle isn't just the demon beast that belongs to the Voyager Emperor, but also one of the Overlord beasts that no existing human cultivator can defeat even when they cooperate with each other.

Wagle isn't just a whale with the wings of a eagle and fins of a whale, it's body was also slim and streamlined, making it one of the fastest in the oceans and the air. The oceans are its territory, the air is its domain.

Wagle is however just one of the few reasons why the Supreme Kingdom won't attack the Voyager kindgom, there are a few other reasons as well. As for what the other reasons are, perhaps only the Voyager Emperor himself holds the answer. It wasn't a simple feat to be the strongest kingdom only slightly weaker than the Supreme Kingdoms after all.

When the soldiers heard the voice of the emperor and was about to get on their knees, they stopped abruptly when another voice told them not to.

"None of you here are to kneel!"

"Voyager Emperor, I admit that you were the one who arranged for me to reunite with these soldiers of mine from the past and the opportunity to grow on the battlefield, but I don't ever wish for you to interrupt with the flow of my army. Also, if you catch wind of any news about the Nirvana sect, please inform me about it." When Nightin was speaking about the army, his voice was cold and sharp to the point. But at the mention of the Nirvana sect, his voice actually softens and his eyes twitched slightly.

The Nirvana sect? That might come in handy if the time to force him to obey me ever arises, though I hope that I will never have to resort to that plan.

"If you're thinking of using the Nirvana sect as a tool to bargain with me, then you have already lost the mentality battle. I might have some ties with them back in the lower realm, but the past is the past and I've already forgotten about it. But of course, let's hope that you won't make me your enemy when there is no point in doing so." Nightin shuts the Voyager Emperor down without giving him time to process his thoughts, clearly knowing just how cunning a old fox like him can be.

The past experiences have made him grow, especially since the first time he almost lost his life in the alchemist hall and the second time he was deceived back in the Voyager Harbor when Waverly's brother tried to attack him.

"Young lad, perhaps you have the wrong idea about me. For someone..."

"Don't give me that bullshit about someone of you status not doing that! It's always people like you who always end up giving me those reasons, only to stab me in the back when I'm not noticing. Yes, you may have sounded calm and your expression may not have changed in the slightest, but that's precisely what gave you away. You were too calm for a casual request from someone of a lower status, don't you think so?" Nightin revoked strongly in disdain, ignoring the eyes of his soldiers looking at them now.

"Like I..."

"You think I give a damn about what you truly think? If you had any intentions on helping the Nirvana sect which I've created from the lower realm, then you would have signs of doing so when I mentioned it just now. Now then Emperor of the Voyager kingdom, I'll be taking my leave for this first conquest. Don't forget about the benefits of me becoming a seventh grade noble." Nightin turns around and leave without saying anything.

Turning his attention to his soldiers who are new to their mounts, he commands "All soldiers! Are you ready for battle!?"

"Yes general!"

"Raise your swords and charge towards the enemies without fear, the journey might take one full day on these mounts, but what that tiny pinch of fatigue get you?"

"No general!"

A smirk forms under Nightin's calm face as he commanded "All soldiers, follow your commanders! All commanders, follow the sneaky rat army that'll be leading the way!"

The soldiers took heed of their commander orders without any fear as they rushed forward towards the battlefield, making use of the unique ability: Detection.

"Commander Sneaky, make use of the secondary ability right now, I want a successful ambush that catches the opponent off guard, can you do that?" Nightin walks up to the commander on his mutated rat easily, behind him were his wings which he has hidden with his spirit energy. He was fine with his soldiers knowing about his true strength, but it would prove disastrous is his trump cards get revealed to the enemy this early into the war.

"General, what's the highest cultivation base of the opponents that we are ambushing this time?" The commander asks back as a circular chakram appeared in his hand. On his face was nothing but confidence, but the slight tinge of worry on his face wasn't able to escape Nightin's eagle eyes.

"Don't worry, the strongest among them this time are their three leaders at the ninth gate Martial Emperor realm, with all eight of you commanders at the ninth gate Martial Emperor realm transcendent gates and the army which consists of mostly second and third grade Martial Emperors realm, this battle can only be treated as a warm-up easier than your training."

Thinking about it. I have yet to inform Ash that my army is ready for combat and are already heading towards our enemies. "Hey Ash, are you able to hear me?"

A few seconds passed and having receive no reply, Nightin was about to speak into the card which acts as the long distance communication tool when Ash replied "Yes, I'm able to hear you. What is it that you have for me to contact me this urgently?"

"It's nothing urgent, I just want you to know that my army is currently heading towards the 37th hideouts out of the 42 we discovered. How many did your side find, compare ours and send me the hideouts we failed to locate. We'll plan it out from there."

Bzzp Bzzp

After a few seconds passes again, the card vibrated as a holographic map with four new red dots stands out, the other 42 were blue dots which represents the hideouts they have located. Besides a black dot to represent his army, there was a silver dot to represent Ash and his army as well. As for their current target, their direction was being represented by a yellow arrow each.

Thousands of mutated beasts dashes across the plains and climbs over the mountains swiftly without any signs of slowing down, confidence could be seen on the face of every soldier as their weapons were kept sheathed to the side, the mutated mounts were also prepared for battle as well and are definitely the peak existences among their species though they have yet to develop.

The Trinity predators, they're nothing more but a small obstacle in my eyes. Charlotte, wait for me. Phoenix, I'll pick you up after this war, I'll bring the two of you to explore the beauty of this world with me after I find my parents, after I accomplish all the tasks of the mundane world.

Unknown to Nightin himself, he treated the cultivation universe he knows of right now as the mundane world as the system vibrated intensely within his body. "He is already awakening, it's about time he enters the mortal world after all this with the name Night. But as a mortal..."
