Lord of the Truth

Chapter 912: Three armies



"Draw me the current position of the demon forces." After detailing a complete map of Nihari's surface, Robin looked to the side, pointing at the map.

Charles of course knew that the question was directed at him, and it was also a test of some sort. If he had come here to give a report of this scale without having enough information, Robin's punishment would have been harsher.

But fortunately, he had been on Planet Nihari for several hours after his conversation with Sakaar, following up on the situation of the demons, and the situation of the uninvited visitors from Gudah.

Charles stood up and went to the middle of the tent, then bent down to draw an X on the ground with his finger. Immediately, the place of the mark caught everyone's attention for various reasons.

That mark was drawn in an extremely sensitive location. It was located exactly on the border between the southern, central, and eastern regions!

Charles straightened his back and pointed at it, "Before I left, Moren was assigned to station here with 100 Demon Emperors and 200,000 Demon Kings and below. I kept an eye on them for a while to see if they were planning to advance towards the Eastern Region, but they stayed put and started preparing some sort of a corpse feast..."

Old Gu, Theo, and even Robin exchanged glances... That was an extremely dangerous and provocative move!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Southern and Central Regions currently belong to the True Beginning Empire, why would the demons station an army there? It was very clear that it was to provoke the Eastern Region.

However, Jabba cannot object, as he is still implicitly in an alliance with the True Beginning Empire. If he came out of his lair and tried to expel Moren and his men from that dangerous location, it would be a coup and then Moren would have the right to fight him. That is why Moren was equipped with 100 Demon Emperors, This is a preparation for war!!

But at the same time, they did not start the war out of respect for Sakaar's promise to Old Gu. They are just sitting in their lands and holding feasts.

The second possible reason for their presence there is to prevent the Nihari Union Sect from entering the Southern Region. If they left the Southern Region completely empty, it is not at all unlikely that the first move of the Nihari Union Sect would be to try to seize the Southern Region for many reasons... Whether to besiege the Central Region, destroy the Space Portal, convince billions of intelligent races' law users to take their side, or simply impose more influence on the planet!

And yet again, this intention was not announced... the demons are just sitting around eating and playing in their lands with endless provocation.

"Here we will find the largest concentration of the Demon army led by Sakaar himself, although he seemed too hot headed in our discussion, he is currently stationed here without moving a single step, with his their are 300 Demon Emperors and 500,000 Demon Kings and below." Charles took a step and placed the next X.

It was at the top of the central area, that spot was not far from the northern area's borders, and it was not very close either, it could be said that with a signal from him, Sakar could invade the north within half an hour...

"The next location is--"

Before Charles could take the next step, Theo stopped him, "Wait a minute, tell us more about the Great Serpent Army's movements in the northern region."

"Alright." Charles bent again and drew a large circle in front of the X.

That circle was inside the northern region, but it was close to the border, the distance between it and the Sakaar Army's position was not extensive at all... Charles then continued to draw several smaller circles along the eastern part of the northern region.

Charles then stood up again and pointed at the small circles, "Those are the current ship gathering points of the Great Serpent Empire, The two Marshals destroyed the 4 Giant Tribes in the eastern half apart from the Azil Tribe, and those ships are still killing and looting what's left." Charles then pointed at the large circle, "Then the two Marshals gathered to form a unified army and attacked this area, which is the land of the Ashera Giant Tribe, but the Ashera Giants had already left towards the west before the Marshals arrived, so they have been standing still for two days and have not made any new movements."

"This..." Old Man Gu started to stutter, all the words stuck in his throat

"Let me guess then..." Robin pointed to a certain spot where an X mark appeared, "Amon is here with the rest of the Demon Army, right?"

"Exactly Your Highness, how did you know?" Charles opened his eyes wide, "Amon is currently there with 300 Demon Emperors and nearly 400,000 Demon Kings and he's still advancing!"

"Ah... ah..." Once again the words escaped Old Gu's mouth, even Theo knitted his eyebrows until they almost touched his nose.

"..." Even Robin leaned back and relaxed his seat, not saying a word.

The point where Robin drew the X was located inside the northern region, right after crossing the western border...

From what they could see from the Great Serpent Empire's army formation, it was clear that they had been exhausted in the eastern part of the northern region and were currently stuck in the middle, otherwise the Marshals wouldn't have needed to come together to attack the Ashera Giant Tribe, and they wouldn't have thought of sending three fleets to attack the south.

At the same time, in the western part of the northern region, where there were 6 Giant Tribes, they were all entrenched in their places, keeping their forces, not wanting to move, and it didn't seem like they were going to go out to fight anytime soon.

Continuing like this would eventually lead to the Marshals temporarily stopping their invasion of the northern region and focusing entirely on the rest of the planet, which was full of vast areas and resources to seize... And that's why Sakaar came and stood like a thorn in their throats at the central border.

If the Marshals wanted to gather their army and head south, they would have to pass through Sakkar and his army first, and if they made this decision, Amon could abandon his position and come to attack them from behind!

This didn't solve the problem of the war that was slowing down in the northern region? No problem, Amon was sent with a huge army to invade the northern region from the west, this way Amon would only attack the giant tribes as Sakaar promised.

If the giants tried to escape the brutality of the enraged demon army, they would have to clash with the army of the Great Serpent Empire in the east, and if they stayed where they were, they would be devoured city by city until they were all wiped out... If this happened and the giants were wiped out by Amon, the Marshals of the Great Serpent Empire would find themselves surrounded and the Demons attacking them from the south and the west!!

After a long silence in the tent, the first voice heard was Theo's: "...The Demons are capable of drawing up such complex tactics?"
