Lord of the Truth

Chapter 435 Tactical Withdrawal

Meanwhile--

After Caesar returned from Robinʼs tent and was assured that he had activated the Soul Replenishing Technique, his eyebrows furrowed as he watched the battle taking place between the Twenty Saints...

The White Human Saints were not blank-eyed, they showed the excitement of a good fight and fear when facing a strong attack. They communicated with each other a lot by shouting in their language

It was apparent that the fact that they were not blank-eyed did not weaken them at all, On the contrary, they showed great creativity in their attacks and high-level cooperation between them, even after the fight began for about a quarter of an hour, there was no clear winner

For Jabba and the rest of the high-level generals in the golden battalion, the most interesting factor to look at in battle were the wooden weapons they carry...

The ten Saints of the Burton family gave up the full-body golden armor of their own free will before exiting the dome to have a fair fight, but they also took their Golden divine weapons with them, so it can be said that their attack power is still close to its peak.

However, their golden divine weapons werenʼt able to take the initiative against those wooden weapons, and they even seemed to be somewhat equivalent!

This not only surprised the members of the Golden Battalion, it even surprised the spectating human white creatures!

The long battle that took place between Alexander and the six thousand sages against more than twenty thousand saints and sages of the humanoid white creatures was somewhat dependent on survival, there was no time to compare weapons, techniques, etc., And even one of them sensed something abnormal there was no way to make sure of it, only now the suspicions of both sides were confirmed, it was clear on their features that each side wondered how the other side could possess weapons equal in strength with their own!

The second thing that everyone began to pay attention to was how pure and powerful the other sideʼs Law Techniques were…

So far, several major laws had emerged from both sides, but the Burton Saints side had always been the winner in the test of strength and purity of laws, except for one major law… The Plant Law!

It is the only law that has reached the perfect stage and is almost identical to the perfect major plant law that Robin handed over to Elizabeth that day...

In second place were the minor laws related to Earth Path and Wind Path, its purity level was extremely high, at least it was higher than that of the Four Empires before the appearance of Robin.

Other than that, the rest of the laws are full of serious impurities, especially the laws related to the Fire Path and Thunder Path, they all looked like the laws the Baron Families of the Black Sun Kingdom were using back then, no, even worse!

The fact that these laws have reached a sufficient level that makes the user a saint or a sage is in itself a great achievement, and even important news that must be conveyed to His Excellency Robin that such trash techniques can make someone a sage!

”...It canʼt be that this is just an ordinary challenge really, huh?” Caesar asked after a few minutes, unable to detect anything abnormal

How is it possible that those creatures who were seeking to exterminate them suddenly have enough brains to start challenges and open ways of communication? This doesnʼt seem logical at all... Is it possible that their leader gave up and decided to find out more about the aliens that appeared on his land?

At this moment Jabba smiled and replied, ”Your vision is too short...”

”Huh?” Caesar looked towards me, opening his mouth

”Sometimes not everything will meet the eyes, you have to look for them on your own... Ignore the battle, buddy, spread your spirit sense as far as possible and focus on what is happening in the background,” Jabba advised

”Hmm?” Caesar looked back at him and did as Jabba says, and quickly his eyebrows sank down again...

There are many saints and sages of the humanoid white creatures slowly withdrawing and hiding behind the backs of their fellows that covered the sky with their large numbers, then slowly descending down to the forest under the cliff, and then running in the other direction quickly under the cover of the thick trees... They were all running towards the North-West!

”What is happening exactly?!” Caesar asked with apparent anger, there was something behind their backs and it canʼt be good!

”It seems to be a plan to withdraw a large part of their main forces without our noticing. The withdrawal of the ground forces can be ignored since they are almost useless after we built the wall, we can just brush it off and say that they simply returned to their day-to-day work to reduce the burden of feeding and sheltering such a massive army... But withdrawing part of the main forces which are the Saints and Sages is something else entirely, it will definitely arouse our suspicions, and tempt us to make a move against them if we saw them retreating, so they are trying to divert our attention to other things while secretly withdrawing, during the past quarter of an hour a few dozen Saints have left already… As for the reason, I donʼt know~” Jabba shrugged and replied in a low, calm voice.

Then, he continued, ”Actually, this plan isnʼt bad at all… They approach us in full force showing off their true numbers, then slowly withdraw as we focus on the mini-battle, If it werenʼt for the powerful souls that were given to us by Masterʼs Soul Strengthening Technique we wouldnʼt be able to detect what was going on in the background, and wouldnʼt we be able to observe the detailed numbers of their forces, we would just go with the flow and watch their techniques and weapons as we try to further communicate with them... Unfortunately for them, we have Master on our side and they donʼt.”

Caesar returned to look at Jabba, not knowing what to say... He spoke as if discovering them through the spiritual sense was something self-evident, but he had watched the situation just like Jabba for a few minutes and it did not occur to him to spear his senses that much focus on the people in the background, who would do this? Probably of all those present, only Jabba thought about this point

This is not the first time that Jabba has shocked him with one of the decisions or procedures in which he sees his adoptive fatherʼs shadow...

ʼWhat is the difference between me and Jabba? Experience... Intelligence... Thinking outside the box? ...If my adoptive father had not found me as an infant and had to choose between me and Jabba to be his first disciple of choice, who would he have chosen?ʼ Caesar sighed resignedly at the thought of this, and asked again in a low voice, ”Such a large withdrawal plan means that they are up to something, and most likely a very large number of them will slowly take off... Then what to do now, Second Commander?”

”Nothing... For now at least ~” Jabba gave a big smile and said
