"Honestly, I was surprised too, according to my understanding of the Nihari world through the description I heard through you and the demons, This amount of energy pearls is sufficient to bring down the economy of the giants' tribes, so how could the Nihari union gives it away, It was them who previously let you down and refused to cooperate with you!" Billy spoke calmly, then added, "But the doubt and overthinking did not last long as Ryan Burton soon told me that he was able to extract all these Energy pearls thanks to the sale of three space rings."
"SOLD THEM WHAT?! Whose idea is this?" Robin opened his eyes at the last of them and yelled at Billy
Billy jumped back a bit when he heard Robin's shout and quickly replied, "I don't have anything to do with this! He took the three rings in order to facilitate the transportation of all those divine talismans and weapons that are enough to sell for ten million energy pearls, he made the decision to sell the rings of his own volition, I swear!!"
"THAT SON OF A--" Robin looked like he was about to go ahead and insult Ryan's whole line of ancestors, but restricted himself at the last moment and furrowed his eyebrows for a few moments, "...that guy isn't bad, put him in charge of the Empire's Commerce Division!"
"...Eh?!" Billy straightened in his seat and replied in surprise
"Three rings won't make much difference to the overall strength of the sect, but it will make us not worry about the availability of energy pearls for a long time… Heh~ Although he ruined my original intention of this trade trip, I can't blame him for something he doesn't know and the result is not that bad either, just tell him to write a detailed report about their trip and especially how the elders of the clan had treated them since they arrived in Nihari World until they returned." Robin rubbed his chin and spoke with a slight smile.
Then he came back and put his hand behind his back again and announced, "Alright, get ready, we have to move now."
"Wait a moment, Your Excellency!" Victoria quickly stood up, "Can't you tell us more about that place we are going to? You sure know something else, right? How do we declare war on a whole world when we don't know anything about it?"
Robin pointed at her and laughed loudly, "Good remark! And just like you say, I don't know anything important about it!"
"this..?" Everyone began to look at each other with obvious concern.
They thought that Robin was waiting for the day to announce the details of the operation and the plan to invade that alien planet, their main targets, and so on.
At this moment, Jabba took two steps forward and spoke, "Master, can't we just go back to Nihari?"
Robin shook his head with a disappointed smile upon hearing this, "And do what in Nihari!?"
"Re-subdue your sect under your role! Rescue your only son! Take control of new lands, and most importantly.. prepare for the incoming invasion!!" Jabba took a few more steps and spoke with excitement and apparent anxiety
Ever since he heard from Robin that he wants to go to a new planet and anxiety is eating him up... Has Robin lost hope in Nihari? So what will happen to his homeland? What can those muddle-headed bastards do without Robin's help? If his master really gave up on Nihari, then its destruction is a done deal!
Will he and those Demons who can to Jura really be the only survivors of Nihari?!
"Hmph, I can't re-subdue the sect without starting a direct war against the eastern region, and I don't want to do such a thing without a strong reason… I can't invade the northern region to rescue my son either because until this moment I haven't thought of a way to deal with those at the Emperor Realm… Finally, what do I gain from invading the rest of the regions?
Let's say I spend the twenty-something incoming years attacking, planning, and gaining control over new lands in Nihari, and in the end, I will have to face the same dilemma: an invasion from a stronger planet and a potential danger from the eastern and the northern regions. to say it bluntly, even if I took control over the other regions before the incoming invasion it will be useless to me. So YOU tell me again, what do I do in Nihari?"
Robin also did not mention that he actually thought of attacking and controlling the rest of the regions in Nihari in order to deplete the resources of those areas and destroy them before the invasion came, but he was met with several problems...
The first of which is that the inhabitants of those areas will not stand by and watch, they will fight for their resources to the very end, so he will have to carry out a genocide in which tens of Billions of intelligent life forms will be killed, and even if he has the heart to do it, this is practically not possible in the first place...
How much manpower will he need to have in order to kill these wild numbers of intelligent life forms? and how many years will he need to do it?
How much manpower will he need to have to control three regions in Nihari and defend its borders? Those three regions are tens of times bigger than planet Jura!
Even after killing them and controlling the lands, then what? How can he destroy such a massive area that no resource survives to benefit the invaders?
Secondly, the sect and the northern region will not stand to watch on the side either, for sure a war will start against them in the first few months of executing this crazy plan of destruction when they notice what he wants to do...
Third and most important, even if he somehow carried out his plan, the eastern and northern regions would still be full of resources and he could not leave them to the invaders or else it would be a breach of his oath with the All-Seeing God.
In any case, getting involved in Nihari now would be a completely useless move.
Then Robin quickly continued before anyone could reply, "But don't worry Jabba, I know what you are thinking, I just requested new planets from the All-Seeing God to strengthen my army before the invasion began, we will have another talk about that when the time comes, all right?"
"...Jabba understands." The giant nodded and stood back to the side, although Robin's words were enough to calm his anxiety, sadness was still apparent in his eyes.
"The All-Seeing God..? Who is this?" Elizabeth tilted her head slightly at Billy and asked in a low voice
"Shhh, that's a big deal for you, newbie," Billy responded with a sense of superiority, then told her to look at Robin again
"Hmmm, to tell the truth, I am not completely ignorant of everything about the new planet. It is just that the information is not very useful... For example, I know that its name is Greenland, I know that it is about twice the size of Planet Jura, and that the age of martial arts there is about 300,000 years.
I know the information I have is a bit too shallow but that is all I could get from him, but what is important for us is that the All-Seeing God said that the planet is not hostile to human life and that it is full of resources that will help me strengthen the army greatly, and this is all we need to know! Any other questions?"
"No, Your Excellency!" Everyone replied in one breath
"Good, all of you are coming with me, except for Billy who will stay here to supervise the True Begining Empire as a whole and to supervise the rest of the army, Do any of you have a problem?"
"No, Your Excellency!" Everyone replied in one breath
Baili then added in a low voice, "Tsk~ I expected this…" Since he is the weakest of all the Continental Leaders, predicting who would stay behind wasn't too difficult.
"Good! Since everyone is standing still, bring out that golden battalion and move towards the Space Portal, we are moving immediately!"
