Lord of the Truth

Chapter 845: Decisive factor



"Your Excellency." Everyone immediately stood up and gave a full bow.

Robin nodded at them and then went to sit between Richard and Caesar, then waved gently, "You may sit."

*Quick* *Quick*

"...." Everyone pulled their chairs and sat back down, all eyes on Robin.

Robin rested his hands on the table and spoke seriously without any introduction, "Well, there's nothing to hide from you, some of you must have already wandered around Planet Jura, and some of you contacted your family, the news is true... Planet Jura was partially over the last week destroyed by the Great Serpent Empire and a few tens of millions of rebels calling themselves The People, a third of the planet's population was killed and the other two-thirds were injured or affected by the war in some way."

"Whoo~"

The generals and officers from Planet Jura let out a long exhale and forgot to breathe afterward... They were prepared for this information, but hearing the extent of the destruction threw their preparation to the wall.

"I'm sorry to hear that, gentlemen, but we are back now and everything will be fine," King Shaver tried to comfort the generals from Planet Jura

When Robin heard that, a small awkward laugh escaped his lips and he glanced over at Fogun, Hydar, and the Tree Fathers, then over at Flora, Bosanna, and the Orphan Blood generals, "I'm sorry to inform you that Planet Greenland and Planet Orphan Blood have also been invaded, things aren't good there either."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alexander closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but Flora couldn't have such self- control

"No! I have to go there immediately!!" Flora stood up slowly, her eyes shaking, "It doesn't matter if the portal is destroyed, I can still go, right?!"

Suspicion is one thing and certainty is another. At this moment, Flora felt that her world was collapsing. The two closest people to her in life were stuck there!!

"Sit down." Robin stared into Flora's eyes and remained silent until she returned to her place, then smiled, "...As for your question, that's true, the lack of a portal in the Orphan Blood means that instantaneous travel is over, but you can still go on a space journey that takes between 7-10 days."

"I can handle the trip, please allow me!!" Flora quickly replied the two people she cares about the most in this life are fighting there alone!

"Yes, Your Excellency, please allow us to return," King Debas interjected, he couldn't imagine his still-developing kingdom falling apart.

The rest of the generals and kings of the Orphan Blood and Greenland also looked worried and wanted to return home, even the three fathers were worried about their real bodies.

"Excellent, what will you do after you arrive?" Robin nodded a few times, "Every planet has been attacked by at least one Marshal and 3 fleets, that means 400 Battle Emperors and at least 200,000 Law Users, how are you going to stop them? Right here and now, united and at our full strength, yet we only have 500 Emperors and most of them are from Planet Jura!"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, no answer.

They had fought the Great Serpent Empire's forces long enough to know their immense strength, if the fight in Nihari had continued directly, they would have all been wiped out. They barely thanked the heavens for His Excellency's shrewdness and that he had led the invaders to the northern region and given them time to catch their breath, but now they found themselves having to fight them again? And with an even greater numerical difference?!

The Orphan Blood forces in the army currently barely have 30-40 emperors, what would they do against 400? And who would stop the Marshal? The same goes for the Greenland forces, although they have slightly more Martial Emperors, the numerical difference is still huge! Alexander gritted his teeth to appear as calm as possible, "Your Excellency, what exactly happened? Wasn't it just a squabble on Planet Nihari? An expansionist battle that would benefit us? Why was the war brought to our homeland? That wasn't what we agreed upon."

"They wanted to push us away from Planet Nihari and destroy our morale, and they succeeded." Robin opened both hands wide, "What, Alexander, are you blaming me for not taking enough precautions?"

"...." Alexander didn't answer, he wanted to tell him that this was a given in war and that it wasn't his fault, but he couldn't...

After he was appointed ruler of Greenland, Alexander moved his entire family there, here he is trying to act like a sane person while his family is in imminent danger there, or worse... maybe they are all dead.

"...I screwed up, admit it. I had Nihari in mind and forgot that nothing is certain in war," Robin lowered his hands and nodded a few times, "If Richard hadn't protected the space portal here in Jura City and sent someone to tell us what was going on, All three planets' population would have been wiped out and we would have been stuck there, worried and demoralized until we were wiped out too... At least now we have a chance to counterattack." Again, the generals gasped as they considered this possibility and nodded in Richard's direction with thanks.

But Alexander remained focused on Robin, "And how do we counterattack?"

"That you will learn in due time," Robin smiled meaningfully, "Now we have to take back what is ours. But the situation is not good, you should know that. First, I will explain our position to you in full, then you will receive your orders."

Then he stood up and placed his palm on the table, immediately the images of the four planets were engraved on the ancient wood, Robin pointed to the largest one, "First, planet Nihari, I know some of you want to shout now that we should leave it and that it is the cause of calamities and so on, but if we leave it to them, the forces of the Great Serpent Empire there will take control of the planet and will use these vast resources to send more attacks to eliminate us, as long as they know where our homeland is, this war has turned from a war of interests to a war of extermination. So sorry, we have to continue fighting in all fields." "What about the eastern and northern regions? Can't they buy some time?" Elizabeth pointed her hand towards the two regions and supported her pink cheek with her other palm. Out of everyone, she was the most relaxed, all of her close family had already died long ago. *crack* Robin clicked his fingers and pointed at her, "You are right, that's exactly why we can afford to be here." He then pointed towards the northern region, "Holak is strong, too strong that even I can't calculate how strong he is. When he cooperates with Wyvern Crixus the Great, he might be able to fight the Three Marshals and several Martial Emperors on his own. He might use his planet refinement percentage and control the battlefield which will tip the balance even more in his favor! But I won't let things go his way..."

Then he continued, "According to the course of events that I have drawn up and which the Ashera tribe will contribute to achieving, currently a major battle is taking place on the northern border, but it will not last. The Ashera tribe will start pretending to be defeated and then withdraw, creating a large gap in the northern region's army. After that, the rest of the tribes will withdraw in different directions to save their skin. Since the three marshals want the northern border mountain, they will penetrate deeper into the northern region, where the retreating army will surround them, and the armies of the rest of the intelligent creatures will intervene along the way, forming a guerrilla war. If everything goes well, the two sides will eliminate each other without the need for our intervention."

"This seems too idealistic..." Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, "The power gap between the two sides in terms of Martial Emprors is still huge, but at the same time the northern region is simply too vast and still retains its power, resources, and tens of millions of Law and Divine Tattoo users. A battle of this nature cannot be predicted... It could end in a few days with the announcement of a new king for Planet Nihari or it could go on for years without end!"

"I know, and that's why we need a decisive factor," Robin smiled then pointed towards the eastern region, "This role will be left to Jabba."
