Lightning Is the Only Way

When Gravis saw the Emperor's reaction, he immediately contacted the Commander with a voice transmission. When the Commander heard Gravis' voice transmission, she first became shocked, but then her eyes narrowed. After that, she gave orders to the entire defensive line. Shortly after that, nearly all the corpses vanished into thin air.

"What is the meaning of this!?" the Emperor shouted. The Emperor was a bright red lizard, only three meters long. "I haven't given an order for an attack. Explain yourself, Commander."

The Commander looked at the Emperor coldly. "I have the right to call an attack without your permission. If you don't want to pay for the territory, an Empire beside yours will be glad to accept."

Suddenly, all Sub-Commanders and over 15 level four Kings scattered as they traveled to the land of the land beasts.

"Halt!" the Emperor shouted. "You will remain here!"

Yet, the beasts didn't stop.

"No worries," the Commander said. "I've sent them to contact the five closest Empires and a Judge."

"A Judge!? What is the meaning of this!?" the Emperor shouted aggressively.

What was a Judge?

A Judge was the equivalent to an Inquisitor but for Emperors. There were five of them in total in the land beasts' camp. Inquisitors killed traitorous Kings, and Judges killed traitorous Emperors. Of course, Judges were all very powerful for their Realm. The weakest of them was already an outstanding level two Emperor. Inquisitors also only followed the orders of Judges.

"If you're not a traitor, nothing will happen, Emperor," the Commander said. "Just let them go, and nothing will happen."
