Lord of the Truth

Chapter 742  Arranging pieces

"Oh, excellent." Robin glanced at Theo quickly, then pushed the soldier out of his hand and sat him down in his previous seat, before asking, "Right now I have a good idea of what is happening in Nihari, but is there anything new happening in Greenland and Orphan Blood?"

"Approximately 50% of the tribes of the Orphan Blood Planet have declared their absolute loyalty to the True Beginning Empire and are now receiving the same treatment as the rest of the citizens of the empire, Of course, we can turn a blind eye to the fact that they are still hunting each other and that the demons are hunting them, but at least it's not in large numbers like before, and we are also currently coordinating to establish safe areas those who do not want to participate in these survival games... Another 30% of the tribes have sent their emperors to work as mercenaries for us to benefit from the points system, but the tribes themselves are not affiliated with us yet. The rest, led by Aru, still refuse to have any connection with us." Theo spoke coldly, "The deadline you gave them has long passed. If you give us permission, we can raid the remaining rebels and execute them."

"Aru Aru Aru ~ Flora says he's just waiting for the rest of them to join and then he will follow... He's a good boy but that bull head of his is tiring." Robin laughed and shook his head, "They're not attacking our men over there, right? As long as they keep it low, then leave them for a little while. Maybe another one will join us after seeing the treatment the rest are receiving. We're not free for them anyway... What about Greenland?"

"Greenland is 100% under your rule now. The planet was divided into four kingdoms as you ordered, and the remaining rebellious human tribes were distributed among them. After the division was settled, we spread part of the wealth of the four dead Tree Fathers among the kingdoms to raise the standard of living of your citizens. We also published all the techniques permitted to be deployed and established many industrial areas to manufacture divine weapons from the bark of the Tree Fathers. That bark is no less solid than the metal Volheim used in golden armor, as you know. We have also established several factories to manufacture medications for raising affinity and many other pills that the Serum and Medicine Department within the research and development team has come up with."

Then Theo continued without emotion, "As for the army of planet Jura, part of them returned to the imperial capital awaiting your orders, and the rest who bought lands in Greenland remained here with their families to establish colonies on their lands. Those colonies are spread throughout the planet now and are subject to the laws of the existing kingdoms."

"Good, good... I don't want the local Greenlanders to think that we treat the citizens of planet Jura differently, everyone should be treated the same within the empire..." Robin nodded several times, then smiled at Theo, "What do you plan to do now?"

"After the report is over, I plan to return to the central region of Nahari, You Exll-- Father. They will most likely try to test the northern region in the coming few days and then they will not try to make any movement until support arrives, but I still have to always monitor the situation."

Robin smiled and went back to sitting in his chair, "Until support arrives, haha... I want to see their faces when we make that move haha."

After a short silence, Theo opened his mouth, "...Aren't you going to tell your generals? They're losing their minds."

In fact, Robin insisted on waiting for the enemy support to arrive and defeat them in one fell swoop in Nahari, and even convinced his generals with this plan, but that was not all... There is one more detail that only Theo knows about. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Listen, this is a planetary empire with tremendous support from a big shot. We don't know what kind of equipment or technology they have. What will we do if they somehow find out what we're planning? That plan is our only hope of counterattack. Let's talk logically here, we don't even know if our plan is going the way we want, or if they are just going along with us and planning something in turn! Isn't that why we meet on the planet Greenland and avoid making any plans on Planet Nihari? It's true that even I can't sit day and night monitoring the places they're chatting in and getting their exact coordinates so we can follow what they're saying, but what if they had a way to do something similar?"

"I see that you exaggerating here, father... It is true that some incomprehensible things happened in the battle of the South, But they certainly don't know anything about what we're up to." Theo shook his head

"Just do as I tell you, publicize what is inevitable, and let's keep the extra details between us. As for the rest of the generals, they will know in time, or do you think they will go crazy and leave me like that reckless guy? If that happens, so be it, I will replace them overnight." Robin waved annoyingly, "...Hey tell me, everything is going well with this plan? Or did you encounter any problem?"

"Everything goes quickly and quietly. We will be able to do it anytime you order." Theo replied confidently, but he gulped quietly. Thinking about what his adoptive father wants to do is making him burn with excitement... And anxiety!

Robin clapped, "Good! Oh, and you don't have to go back to Nihari, I want you to stay here."

"...ME?" Theo looked very disturbed

"Yes, you! I have tired you enough lately, I am afraid that you were The Emperor of True Beginning Empire and not me." Robin laughed loudly, "We still have a few months or even years until the action starts, right? Take a vacation here, you deserve it."

"..." Theo furrowed his eyebrows slightly, looking worried

"...." Robin also stared directly into Theo's eyes for a few seconds before looking away, "Alright you win, I admit I can't give you up for long but I need you to stay by Peon."

"Peon? Isn't he still unconscious? What should I do for him? Didn't you tell us that he's completely fine and just needs to rest?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows more, since that battle in the Azil tribe, Peon had not woken up

"...Look, that attack destroyed Peon physically and soul-wise. As for physically, Richard did a good job of restoring his body like new, but soul-wise... His Soul Domain became fragile and cracked, his primal soul itself was fading quickly, and I do not have a good soul healing technique as you know, I had to improvise quickly before the boy died!" Robin spoke anxiously

"...Father, what have you done?" Fear began to creep into Theo's heart a little

"Nothing! ...Well I used a technique called Soul Filling to destroy the soul domains of five Azel Emperors including their primal souls and then used that resulting energy to fill in what was missing in Peon." Robin explained turbulently, "His soul domain is now stronger than before, his aver all soul force is supposed to have become stronger than Zara, but he still doesn't want to wake up!"

Theo's heart stopped for a moment, "... You're afraid that the souls of the Azel Giants interfered with Peon's soul and caused its loss, aren't you?"

"...I used the technique on myself before and nothing happened. I just want you to keep an eye on him. I don't know what he will be like when he wakes up..."

"Alright, a short vacation wouldn't hurt." Theo smiled and nodded, but his smile was ugly and filled with worry

Robin scratched his head for a few moments, before waving towards the prisoners and changing the subject, "Send someone to take them and there's no need to bring more. I have a complete idea of the blood content of those low-level soldiers now, and there is something like a seal in their souls that prevents them from saying anything useful, every time I try to destroy that seal, their souls crumble because they are too weak... They are useless, maybe I will also start a vacation."

"You almost made me forget what I came for." Theo smiled, "We got a bunch of Martial Emperors for you, I'm afraid there will be no vacations for you, Father."
