Lord of the Truth

Chapter 574 War counsel -1

The Imperial Palace...

When one hears this term, what always comes to mind is that it must be the highest structure around, surrounded by gardens on all sides as far as the eye can see, filled with hundreds or even thousands of servants, and the masses have to kneel when they see it.

However, the imperial palace on the steep hill does not have any of these features. Rather, it can be said that it was built to be as practical as possible and forgot to show anything that indicates luxury in it, but this is not very strange since everyone here is a soldier and busy with something...

The palace building itself was created by divine blacksmiths. In terms of solidity, it was not inferior to the metallic wall that stopped millions of buds before, and in terms of other defenses, it was not inferior to the tent in which he spent two years with Zara. Also, the size of the palace under the ground is the same size as the structure above it or even more! 

In fact, those responsible for building the palace increased the protection by several additional layers by placing rooms for guards at the level of Sage underground around the palace!

The appearance of the white palace inlaid with gold may not be the most luxurious, but whatever the rest of the Tree Fathers do, if they think they can play any tricks here then they are delusional!

 Atop the steep hill-- Inside the main hall of the Imperial Palace

*Step.. Step..*

Fugon and the leaders of the other three tribes entered side by side, each followed by a few high-level officials in those tribes. A powerful group of people of high status and high cultivation level, yet after they entered the hall, their glow went out and their aura was overshadowed.

The hall had a large table in the middle of the hall with dozens of chairs around it, around which were currently sitting the great generals of the Empire, such as Alexander and Elizabeth, even the violent Victoria, who usually couldnʼt care less about these meetings, was present. Next to them were the senior officers and advisors like Sage Emily, who currently heads the headquarters, and was also present. 

It can be said that This hall can declare war on many worlds!

”Sorry for being late, everyone.” Fugon bent down slightly when he saw this scene, and a few drops of sweat trickled down his forehead

After he realized what he had just done and that he had bowed down in front of mere followers, he quickly looked behind him in order to explain to his companions that his back was in pain or something like that, but he found all the rest bowing like him... So he sighed and led them towards a few vacant chairs.

After Fugon and those with him sat down, they closed their mouths and joined the awkward silence that was dominating the hall, but their eyes did not remain silent, but rather were forced to be drawn towards the empty seat at the head of the table, and the people sitting close to that seat...

Of course, the empty seat belonged to the Emperor, but it was the people around him that attracted attention... Each one of them looked as if he could sit on that main chair comfortably.

Jabba, who is recognized by everyone as the second most powerful person in the Empire after his excellency... Caesar, the adopted son of the Emperor, who is recognized by everyone as the future supreme general after he surpasses Alexander in terms of individual power, and finally... a weird humanoid figure made of leaves?

”I see everyone is here.”

*noise* *noise*

Suddenly a sound echoed in everyoneʼs ears, a strong and familiar sound, and although they did not see its source, they all pushed their chairs back and stood up at the same moment and spoke in one breath, ”We salute Your Excellency.”

*Step.. Step..*

Robin finally appeared, walking slowly until he reached his chair and sat comfortably, resting his jaw on his left hand, then he motioned to the rest, ”Have a seat.”

”We thank your Excellency.” Once again everyone pulled their chairs under them and sat down, this time all eyes on Robin.

”Before anything, I want to know, has there been an attack by a Tree Father in the past 3 days, or any strange movements in any way?” Robin asked before anyone could say a word

A person wearing gray armor quickly stood up, ”No, Your Excellency, everything is in order. We have not received any reports from inside or outside our new borders.” In the absence of the Shadow Swords, the Wind Users are responsible for collecting and passing on information, and this person was appointed to head the Empireʼs reconnaissance and surveillance team inside Planet Greenland.

”Huh, strange...” Robin raised his eyebrows slightly. He was almost certain that the Three Tree Fathers would declare war as soon as they left the Planet Spirit Domain. This was one of the reasons why he left the Domain after only 3 days, ”Haha, it seems I took their patience very lightly, in the end, they are individuals who are willing to engage in wars and conspiracies for 200,000 years without getting bored, this will be interesting”

”Your Excellency, do you have any new information? Should we prepare for an attack or something?” Alexander interjected

There are already small contingents of the Empireʼs army distributed throughout their new lands, but they are definitely not ready to respond to a major attack, especially since all the generals and senior officers had been asked to be here days ago.

Robin raised his shoulder, laughing, ”I met the souls of three tree fathers, and a certain incident occurred between us, I thought they would be so angry that they were going to start a war right away, but after a few days passed, I think the matter calmed down. If they were going to do something about it, they would have done it. Those old trees love plotting and calculating losses and profits before they do anything. As long as they are not blinded by anger and make them declare war immediately, this means that they will begin negotiations with each other and gather armies in an organized manner, etc. Although this will make us face a more powerful and organized attack, it also means that we will most likely enjoy peace for at least several months, or perhaps several years...”

”An incident occurred between you and the souls of three tree fathers... and they were the ones who started the war?!” It was not known who uttered these words, but everyone looked at Robin again in a different light, not one of them thought he was lying though.

”Alright, leave that aside for now. Weʼll talk about continuing the war later.” Robin waved to end the topic, ”Do we have a list of the spoils we got from Hoffy yet?”

”Everything is in this report, Your Excellency, please go ahead.” The current head of headquarters, Emily, got up and handed Robin a few papers with both hands, then bowed slightly and returned to her position.

Fugon, Hadyar, and the rest from the local tribes began to look at each other with concern. They had no involvement in finding our transporting the spoils and did not know what was theirs and what was due... They all actually thought that everything had already been distributed among the generals or had been transferred to the world from which it came. But did they at least leave behind breadcrumbs to give them away? ...The moment of truth is near!

After a few minutes, Robin nodded with a satisfied smile on his face, then threw the paper in front of him and looked at Emily, ”Tell everyone about our harvest, there is no need to hide anything.”

”Your Excellency,” Emily did not even give the generals and tribal leaders time to rejoice, she bowed again and spoke quickly, ”So far we have found 5 treasure rooms spread across the body of Tree Father Hoffenheim and the things we know of inside have been listed, and they are as follows: 12 small mountain of high-quality energy stones, although they do not compare with energy pearls, we can estimate that one of these mountains is enough to return the entire army to planet Jura again... We also found 800 tons of Volaihmer metal, which is the fundamental metal in golden armor, and 1500 tons of the rest of the resources used in the golden armor, this amount, in addition to what we have on Planet Jura, will be enough to armor at least 5 million soldiers, We also found 50 tons of Uracilium metal and---.”

After another 20 minutes of mentioning the discovered minerals, Most of which are metals with elemental properties--

”...Now, if Your Excellency permits me, I will begin by mentioning the ancient herps discovered.” Emily interrupted herself respectfully, then continued speaking amidst everyoneʼs stupefaction...
