Lord of the Truth

Chapter 269 [Bonus Chapter] That I Need

”Come on, it was too easy to guess this.” Jabba spoke, and Orzon nodded, ”Continue please.. why are you here?”

”Tsk~ You took the fun out of it,” Robin said annoyed, and then continued, ”There is someone who saved my life a while ago called the All-seeing God, he is also a heavenʼs chosen according to your understanding of the term, and recently he asked me for a favor...

He told me that his enemy was preparing a massive army to invade a certain planet to blunder its recourses and that I should go to stop that person from succeeding and especially prevent him from and especially pr taking certain energy stones... Can you guess which planet I am talking about now?”

”Nihari?!” shouted Jabba

Orzon also furrowed an eyebrow and his features turned ugly, thatʼs bad...

They both thought he was a young man who wanted to go on adventures in another world to expand his horizons or something, but an invasion..?

And after the oath that Robin took before them, the choice to lie was no longer available, every word he said was surely true!

”Hmph, let them come, the hammers of the Nihari Giants are ready!” Jabba said proudly

Robin looked at him, ”The All-seeing God knew everything about this planet before he sent me, his enemy who is preparing the army for the invasion must know everything about you too... you think he is going to start a war he canʼt win? Especially since you are oblivious to it...? since he is preparing the army then he is damn sure that he can take you on, with your current power at least.”

”How much time do we have?” Orzon Asked

”About fifty years... maybe a little less” Robin announced, forgetting for a second that has already spent about 4 years of those 50 in his personal wars before coming here

”Less than fifty years?! DAMMIT, thatʼs not nearly enough to make a change in our forces ...SO? Why are you here? How do you intend to stop such a wide scale invasion? Where is your army?!” Jabba asked quickly

”Actually I canʼt send an army here even If I wanted because my planet is weaker than yours, If I somehow managed to get an army here they wouldnʼt be of much help…” Robin scratched his head, ”I intended to find a Tribe chiefʼs daughter and rescue her from the bad guys for example and flatter my way to her father and use him to unite the Nihari world, but here we are.. .”

”flatter? You wanted to use a f*cking tribe chief to unite Nihari..? Thatʼs a good way to say you came without a plan!!” Jabba shouted

Robin shrugged his shoulders in response, he really didnʼt have a plan

Orzon clenched his hand tightly, ”What caused this invasion?”

Robin replied, ”The reason is a certain kind of energy stone that might turn the tide of wars between the two gods, according to my understanding of this world so far, I think what is meant is energy pearls.”

”They want to bring an army here just to steal our money?!” Perplexed Jabba asked, Energy pearls are really something extraordinary but itʼs still just a way to buy goods in his eyes, itʼs not a big thing that causes a war between worlds!!

Robin looked at him, ”Not just stealing, this will be an army of extermination and sabotage, all energy pearls will be snatched from the planet and most likely all the energy stones as well and any resistance they find will be destroyed, and they may even enslave you even if you donʼt resist, when they are done with the planet there wonʼt be any left, the planet wouldnʼt be fit for Life, Much less cultivation...”

”Hehehe, ironic...” Orzon looked at Jabba and started to chuckle with a provocative laugh.

”YOU LITTLE--” Jabba looked at his side and almost punched Orzon but he held himself back, he knew very well what he was laughing at.

Orzon continued, ”Finally, the tide has turned and the giants will taste humiliation. Haha, itʼs good that it doesnʼt concern us, what could happen to us worse than what is happening right now? Thank you, Mr. Heavenʼs Chosen, you brought me some very good news, I will see the destruction of the Nihari giants with my own eyes before I die!”

” YOU..!!” Jabba was annoyed and shouted, ”Have you not heard of the saying: the devil that you know is better than an angel you donʼt?!”

”Devils, thatʼs a befitting description! But sadly I canʼt imagine anyone being worse off than you lot!” Orzon shook his head, still grinning

”Calm down!” Robin signaled to the two of them to be silent, then looked at Orzon, ”You are half true, I actually intended to ignore the existence of humans and the rest of the *inferior beings* after I saw your weakness and humiliation at first, but now that I saw that the willingness to fight and survive is still in Your blood... you may be an essential partner in my plan.”

”Hahahaha” Orzon laughed loudly, ”Partner of what? Didnʼt you hear this Jabba? We canʼt even defeat a few cities within the Lightning Tribeʼs lands, and talk about stopping an army ready to conquer the whole world? Are you in your right mind? Let them come and destroy what they want to destroy, what is the worst thing they can do if we submit? enslave us? our situation will not get any worse than this!

And assuming we helped stop them and fought alongside the giants until we somehow won, then what? Going back to what we were before? No No... let them burn! Nihari has ceased to be our Home planet since the appearance of the first Heavenʼs Chosen, and the giants kept reminding us of this fact long enough!”

”Just listen to me, who said I want you the way you are? All I need from you is your numbers and fighting spirit, and in terms of your strength and status... leave that on me!” Robin hit him in the chest

”....continue speaking.” The sarcastic laugh disappeared from Orzonʼs face before he furrowed his eyebrows and asked

”....” Robin remained silent for a few seconds as if balancing his words, and then said, ”At first I thought that the only way to stop the invasion was to gain the trust of the natives and gain widespread fame over, say, 30 years through my talismans and inventions. Then announce the news about the invasion and united them under one banner, then I would strengthen them for the next 20 years before the invasion arrived... But it turned out that this is impossible.

The size of the planet and the ways of governing here are terrible, it turns out that my plan will need 300 years, not just 30, that is of course not calculating the possibility that one of the giants eats me halfway since Iʼm just an inferior being

But now that you have explained the powers of the inferior races, another idea came to me, perhaps I do not need to unite the entire Nihari race before the invasion comes! Perhaps... all I need is a new kingdom!”
