Lord of the Truth

Chapter 268 Human Forces

Almost an hour had passed since the Arkis was sent out of the tent and no new words had been said since then, all discussion was over formulating the oath that each one of them will have to say.

Jabba and Orzon were somewhat similar in their oaths: keeping the secrets of the other two parties secrets, helping them when needed, and a few other little details.

The penalty for breach would be immediate death, while keeping the oath flexible enough not to endanger oneʼs life by mistake.

While Robin recited a similar oath, then he added voluntarily that he intends to towards neither the giant race, nor humans, nor any other *inferior* race in this world.

And when Jabba and Orzon heard this, they both calmed down and felt more secure while looking at Robin, and a satisfied smile appeared on the two of them.

Finally, after the full hour, Orzon spoke, ”This oath tablet is indeed a great invention, I canʼt even think of many applications this invention can be used in... hmmm I guess everything is set now, shall we go into it?”

Robin nodded with a smile, ”Please go ahead, what Iʼm going to say will depend in large part on how strong you are.”

Orzon was silent for a few seconds as if consulting himself, then he sighed and spoke, ”For ten thousand years we have been doing several tests of young children to see how strong and endurance their bodies are and to see if they can withstand the second stage of the body strengthening divine tattoo,

This body structure is rare among us humans, and perhaps out of every thousand humans you will find one or two kids who can have the second stage of the body strengthening divine tattoo, But this is also the percentage we want, the more divine tattoo users we have among us, the more likely the truth about what is happening inside the settlements would be endangered to be exposed.

When the number of users inside a settlement reaches a certain number, say 20  divine tattoo users, some of them would be smuggled out of the settlements to join our armed groups to attack giant cities and slave markets and the caravans that transfer our kids to other tribes.

All 210 human settlements follow the same pattern, we are all in contact with each other, and we got a few Divine Tattoo Masters that we kidnapped a while ago, they work for us in exchange for their lives, and we would kidnap another one or two every now and then if an opportunity arouses.

The rest of the inferior races also use similar methods and we are in constant contact with them as well, and the attacks on the cities of the giants are coordinated with them to form ”terrorist groups” so that they do not suspect one particular race.”

”Tsk~ and I was the one wondering where all those bastards keep popping up again and again after we annihilate them every time,” Jabba said annoyed

Robin patted his knee thinking, and then spoke, ”If we say that every settlement has only 20 Divine Tattoo Users among them, then the human race has at least 4,200 tattooed warriors inside all the settlements combined,

that is not mentioning those who went out to join the armed forces to attack the giants, they should be more than the forces inside the settlements but they also die at a fast rate, hmmm can I say that humans in total have roughly 10,000 Divine Tattoo users that are able to use second stage body strengthening divine tattoo inside the lands of the Lightning Tribe alone?”

”More or less, yes.” Orzon nodded, amazed at Robinʼs calculations ability

”There are 10 thousand human terrorists out there?!” Jabba shouted, he couldnʼt believe what he heard, not long ago he was taking credit in front of Robin that he destroyed many terrorist groups, but now his work doesnʼt seem that impressive at all!

”Thatʼs actually much more than I expected, I canʼt believe that you guys managed to keep everything secret at just a large scale of operations!

..Jabba, what would happen if all of those 10,000 Divine Tattoo users joined together and attacked the Lightning Tribe.” Robin looked at him and asked

”Hmm… the inferior racesʼ bodies canʼt handle the third stage of the Body Strengthening Divine Tattoo, the only ones who can withstand a tattoo higher than a second degree other than giants are the Demon race, and of course, they are living in their own world and wouldnʼt be a problem...

And if we talk Just about the numbers of their warriors and shamans then they are too little for a war between races, so they are losers in terms of quantity and quality... At best they will be able to destroy a city or two, but after that, the whole human race will be annihilated.”

Chief Orzon nodded without emotion on his face

”...” Robin remained silent for a second, ”So what about the rest of the races? What would happen if their soldiers also joined this war?”

Jabba shook his head, ”It wonʼt do you any good, assuming you managed to gather 200,000 fighters, what next? The result will not change.. they will succeed in destroying a few cities. Then the Hammers of the Giants will come down on their heads to exterminate them all. Any uprising of this size will only bring destruction to the inferior races.

There is also another problem, assuming that a divine miracle occurs and the inferior beings win, what next? Will all inferior races unite? Do you think that the rest of the Giant tribes around the Lightning tribe will let them live in peace and love forever?

Of course not.. all races hate those who are different from them even if they are in peace. If the inferior races really succeed, disputes will start between them and each team will go to rule its own land, then the rest of the tribes will attack them and turn them into food within less than one year.”

Robin looked at Orzon to see his reaction and found that he was still silent, and there was even a look of sadness in his eyes... It is clear that this is really the reality

Jabba is the best to know the capabilities of the Giants military, and Ozon is the best to know the capabilities of the rest of the races, if this is their opinion together, then this is the reality.

Robin remained silent for about two minutes, rubbing his chin, and an eyebrow began to approach each other little by little...

”What are you thinking? Tell me, maybe I will make it easier for you.” Orzon spoke

”Sigh~” Robin raised his head and openly declared, ”I am not of this world!”

*cricket sound in the background*

Robin looked at Orzon and answered confidently to see the astonishment and perhaps some respect and fear... but he did not find any change in their features, Orzon even gestured to him to continue speaking.

”YOU TWO..! If I told you I wanted to go to the bathroom, I would have found a better reaction than this!!” Robin yelled in frustration
