Lord of the Truth

Chapter 810: Letʼs play then

Evergreen furrowed her eyebrows slightly and looked at Robin seriously. These would be military orders she received from her owner.

She might act as if it was a piece of cake for her and that she could lead the defense against her first foreign invasion however she wanted, but in reality, she was forcing herself to do what she couldnʼt, the situation was really difficult for her...

She was created to be a tool, just a piece on the board that does not have the ability to be one of the players, and this is clearly evident in the war currently taking place. Just in order to balance the scale a little, it caused the death of tens of millions of people!

As she sees it, Robin now does not have many options. In the face of this dual invasion of Jura and Greenland, he has to completely withdraw from Nihari and send his entire army as support to these two destinations, and then he may have a chance to save what is left... But in this case, Planet Nihari will be lost forever, and once the Great Serpent Empire tightens its grip on it and begins tapping into the vast reserves of Energy Pearls there to power their cannons, it will be difficult to make a comeback.

The second option is to withdraw part of the forces in Nihari and transfer them to these two planets to help keep the war burning until the war in Nihari ends, but in this case, the enemy will have the upper hand in all fronts and there will be a risk of losing them all.

As for Robin, he remained silent for a few more seconds, then spoke seriously, ”...We will not do anything new for now, continue with your self-destructive actions.”

”.....” Evergreen just stared at Robinʼs face for several seconds, ”Is that all you could say?! If my actions are self-destruct then show us YOUR ACTIONS!!!” Then she took off her slippers made of tree leaves and threw them at him while saying her last words.

”Fuck, what do you want me to do?” Robin avoided the slippers, ”Them finding you means they found the Orphan Blood Planet. It became obvious that the destruction of the space portals there was because of them and not because of Aru and his followers. This means that I am fighting a war on four fronts at the same time.”

Then he continued excitedly, ”Letʼs do a simple calculation here. There were 5 fleets here, then 16 came as reinforcements, so the number of fleets in Nihari rose to 21. There are 3 more fleets in Jura and three in Greenland which brings the total number to 27 fleets. And if You and Jura were attacked by three fleets each, this means that the other three or four fleets left are all in Orphan Blood. This is in addition to the appearance of seven marshals with their personal soldiers so far, which means that those damned snakes have sent all their forces to war, literally all their forces. Their bastard Emperor has abandoned eight planets and he sent his armies against me.”

”These are not the actions of a rational person. He is opposing me as if I had killed his mother! I do not know what is happening. His master, the All-seeing Godʼs rival, must have incited him against me personally, I see no other explanation for his actions... This is no longer a war for possession of a planet, but rather a personal war, a war for survival.” Then he was silent for a while and lowered his voice, ”... Honestly, even if I withdraw all my soldiers now and send them to protect my three planets, I cannot guarantee victory, and if I am victorious, this will not happen without enormous sacrifices. Then how will I defend them afterward? Do you think that if I sacrifice Nihari now and save Jura, Greenland, and the Orphan Blood we will taste peace?!”

”...” Evergreen paused and bit her lip

If it were an ordinary planetary war or even an ordinary planet, she would have told him to abandon Nihari and immediately return to her and cleanse her of the abomination that spreads on her land. Although she does not care about mortals, she definitely does not like breaking the rules repeatedly in this way!

But this is not the case now.

He is fighting against an ancient planetary empire and one that knows all of his footholds as well. If Robin withdraws from Nihari, allowing them to win and possess Nihari today, they will not simply forget about Robin. Using Nihariʼs vast resources, they will send another expedition to her, then a second, and a third, until they finish off Robin and his Empire...

He wasnʼt an ordinary owner she could risk losing, he shouldnʼt reach this kind of fate now, not yet!

”... Iʼm glad that your mind is still clear after receiving such disastrous news. You have matured compared to what I heard about your actions in the past.” Evergreen turned her back to him, ”I will continue what I am doing in Greenland. That is what I told you at the beginning anyway, you may leave now, go back to what you were doing.”

When Robin saw her behaving like this, he smiled and shook his head. Even though she was just a spirit and not a real woman, she undoubtedly acted like one!

Then he placed a finger on his forehead for a few seconds and took out a short string, then threw it towards Evergreen, ”Since you have an owner, you can now communicate with my kids easily, give them these. Since my battle against Hoffenheim, I have been thinking about offensive and defensive soul techniques, here are some of them... They are primitive and need a lot of polishing but it should give a good boost to Peon.”

”Oh!” Evergreen received the thread of soul power with both hands and then disappeared into them. Seconds later, she opened her eyes to the last of them, ”Guardian Shell Spirit Defense Technique... Single Blade Spirit Attack Technique, Lethality Range Attack Technique, and Soul Net Siege Technique?...You call these Primitive techniques? They do need some practical testing, but when they are finished they will definitely be an epic level martial arts!”

”What do you mean by epic-level martial arts?” Robin raised his eyebrows, this was a new term to him.

Evergreen waved at him, ”Shue, Shue! When you reach the middle planetary belt you will know.”

”Who knows, I may never go.” Robin laughed and then his soul avatar began to fade away. Just before it vanished, he opened his mouth, ”When you pass these techniques on to Peon, tell him that I am sorry, but he will have to hold out for a while longer. Tell him to gather some Rune Masters and blacksmiths and start making a space portal in a safe place and keep it inactive... Tell him that the support will be a little late, but it will come.”

Robin opened his eyes outside again and found the Shadow Sword still standing in front of

him, looking around with tense eyes, holding his daggers. It was clear that he took a defensive position when he saw Robin entering a deep state of meditation.

Robin smiled slightly, ”Whatʼs your name?”

”Ah?” Shadow Sword quickly turned around and put his daggers back in place, ”This

subordinate is called Leonid Burton, Your Excellency.”

”You did a good job of not spreading the news, Leonid. You are a dependable person. Arenʼt

you also from the Burton family? You can call me Uncle Robin starting today.” Robin stood up, took a few steps, and patted Leonid, smiling.

”This is an honor I donʼt deserve!” Shadow Sword Leonid quickly knelt down, but he quickly raised his head slowly and muttered nervously, ”But...what...?!”

Robin laughed, ”Donʼt worry, Iʼm not crazy yet. I will send someone with you to help Richard. According to my expectations, he will be very good.”

”Someone? One?! Your Excellency, what the--?!” Leonid was left dumbfounded

But Robin had already taken a few steps away from him and looked towards the North with a smile, ”...Your Majesty Planetary Emperor Pythor, do you consider me a threat that must be eliminated, or are you part of the All-Seeing God and his rivalʼs game like me? But thatʼs fine either way, letʼs play... Letʼs see whether your forces are stronger, or my foundations deeper.”
