Kasuyi tapped his index finger against the tabletop in frustration. Very few things could get him frustrated, especially since he believed he had already experienced all the universe could show him, what with his long lived life, and subsequent betrayal. But this latest report showed him that he had much more to be frustrated about.
The Imperial Army had finally stopped resting on their laurels, mobilizing the majority of their forces in order to strike back at him. They had already swept through three small forward bases of the Abbey, wiping out all the mages and warriors that had been stationed there. This had forced the plan to conquer several worlds to be put on hold.
Matthias and his five King Class companions had sent out several teams of Lord Class experts, led by Pseudo-King Class powerhouses to reinforce the other forward bases, also leading their own teams to reinforce certain strategic locations.
