The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 404 - DESTROY THE EMPIRE!!

"HOOOOO!!!"

"WE’LL TAKE DOWN THE EMPIRE!!"​​

The tens of thousands of people roared at the same time that it shook the whole place. Their voices echoed in every direction as they wanted to go back to their homeworld and defeat the forces of the empire that humiliated them.

But everyone knew that it wasn’t an easy task. The only one that brings them confidence in fighting the empire was Souta. His god-like strength was the source of everyone’s confidence. Without him, they wouldn’t think that they had a chance to defeat the empire.

The overwhelming power of the empire was something that they couldn’t imagine being on the losing side.

Those commanders and generals were nothing with Souta at their side.

"Good. We’re going to take over the worlds that are close to this world."

Souta nodded with a satisfied expression as he smiled faintly and added, "Prepare yourself. Tomorrow, we’ll launch an attack."

He quickly turned around and left.

...

"I can’t believe that we took over an entire planet," Lydia said while looking at Souta. After she freed the prisoners in the territory of the Seventh Warden, she quickly went to the other territory with Isabella.

After completing their task, the two went back to meet with Souta and found that all the higher-ups of the Prison World were dead.

"We’ll take over everything and kill everyone. That’s it." Franklin said with a faint smile as he glanced at Lydia.

Lydia narrowed her eyes. She knew Franklin was a mass murderer and a powerful person. She knew that she would be defeated if she fought this crazy person.

Torkez looked at the two of them before he turned to Souta and asked, "I have a question. Do you have a specific world that we’re going to attack?"

"Souta, already said that we’re going to attack the nearest worlds so there’s nothing much to talk about it," Franklin said to Torkez. All he wanted to do was to fight those people.

Souta looked at everyone and said, "I don’t know which world to attack so give me all the information. I will decide after looking at it."

Lydia and Torkez looked at each other. They didn’t care about Franklin’s opinion at all as they knew that fighting was what he wanted.

The two told him about the fifteen worlds that were close to this world. They explained the details of this world to him. Of course, Torkez details were outdated as he was imprisoned for a long time but his information still helped in clarifying a lot of things regarding these fifteen worlds.

"I see..."

Souta nodded his head and choose the five strongest worlds. The five worlds where most of the empire’s armies were stationed. He chooses to deal with them as fast as possible and head towards the homeworld of the empire.

He couldn’t go directly to that world as the transportational device has limitations. It couldn’t transport people or things to the planet that was too far away from it. That’s why they had to go from another world to another world until the planet of the empire was within the range of the transportational device.

"Franklin, lead the prisoners from the fifth catastrophe rank prison..."

Souta tasked Franklin to invade one of the five worlds that he has chosen with the prisoners from the other catastrophe rank prison. Franklin, Torkez, and the dragon weren’t the strongest prisoners in this world. There were people on the other catastrophe rank prison that has the same power level as them but only Torkez has a parasitic essence eater.

Also, the number of dragons that were imprisoned in this world was five. These dragons rose the overall might of their forces. At first, the dragons except for the dragon that Souta knew refused to work together. They said that they didn’t need anyone’s help and could handle things on their own.

Well... Souta showed them his power and made a deal with them. Even though he was strong, he still couldn’t handle 4 third evolution monsters. He could only fight one of them and that’s his limit.

Their deal was simple. The dragons wanted to go back to their homeworld and have revenge on the empire so Souta would help them in their goals. It’s easy but he still had to defeat one of them in a battle for him to be worthy of it. They wouldn’t simply follow any person that was weaker than them.

Souta narrowed his eyes and said, "Bring one of the dragons with you. Dragon is our ace as it will need a couple of generals and commanders to defeat a single dragon."

"Okay, I will immediately prepare myself. I can’t wait to fight and kill those people." Franklin said as his smile grew wider. He stood up and patted his clothes before he left the room.

The dragon, Isabella, Lydia, and Torkez looked at Franklin’s retreating back.

Yuko was sleeping beside Souta as she left everything to Souta. If he has some problem, she was always free and he could ask her. As long as she would get a delicious meal and her patting then it’s enough.

Souta looked at the remaining people and said, "All of you should know where this would lead."

"Yes, I know. Sooner or later words about Prison World will spread out and they will know what really happened here." Lydia nodded her head with a serious expression.

Right now, the Great Astley Empire didn’t know anything about the Prison World. They just thought that they’ve successfully capture Souta and his comrades but that’s where they were wrong. Souta and his comrades took over the entire Prison World and became its ruler.

The empire has no way of contacting this world and they will notice it soon. Once they’ve noticed it, they will send people to this world to investigate what happened.

After that...

"A war will occur..." Torkez said plainly. Before he got captured, he spends most of his time fighting the army of the empire so he was used to fighting them. As long as he had sufficient troops, he could build a strategy to fight the empire.

"Yes, a war. It’s inevitable. That’s why we had to strike them first. We will capture those five worlds and gathered more allies. Yes, allies, we need it. The troops of the empire are several times larger than our current troops." Souta paused for a moment before he continued, "No matter how strong I am, I still couldn’t fight endlessly. I will be defeated by their sheer numbers."

"And that’s how they always defeated a dragon... Using sheer numbers to overwhelm a single foe." Lydia added.

"Lydia you should go with Yuko, Franklin will go with dragon, and the rest of the forces will work together. I will bring Isabella with me to one of these five worlds." Souta divided all the forces in this prison world. They had to make sure that their plan will go well.

Souta will only bring a few thousand troops with him. It was enough for him as he needed the other forces to make sure that they could conquer those worlds.

"I understand... I want to free my homeworld soon but since it’s pretty far we’ll free other worlds first." Torkez said as he closed his eyes. He recalled his homeworld. He wondered what happened to the people of his world.

"Our goal is destroying the empire so if we completed our goal your homeworld will be freed too," Souta said to him.

"That’s true..." Torkez nodded seriously.

Souta simply looked at them. He knew that these people were only following him because they have the same goal, the goal to destroy the Great Astley Empire.

"Tomorrow... Be sure to prepare yourself. After we conquered those worlds, we will directly fight the empire." Souta said as he leaned on his chair.

Conquering five worlds and gaining allies was great but since the empire was in the middle of conquering other worlds, they had to cut off their resources.

After they finished their meeting, Lydia, Torkez, and the dragon left the room.

Souta looked at Isabella and asked, "How are you, Isabella?"

"I-I’m fine. It’s just that... I’m not used to traveling like this that’s why I’m not feeling great." Isabella replied to him.

"Don’t worry, after we finished settling the things here. We’ll rest for a while before we start traveling once again. Also, we’re going to travel slowly and we have to go back to your homeworld." Souta said to her.

"My homeworld...?" Isabella tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes, I will try the living labyrinth to see if I could get the god’s legacy there." Souta smiled.
