Chapter 496 List of Generals
Urasylium is a mineral that is extremely rare in both Jura and Nihari, so rare that it was barely known to exist only recently even in Nihari.
It is mentioned in the report about it that the largest piece of that mineral found on the planet Jura was a tiny bar as big as a finger.
After the features of the metal bar were identified back then, that little piece was delivered to the king of the Kingdom of Oaklea who had knowledge about the Minor Heavenly Laws related to ground and minerals.
But even that old king had to give up in the end, leaving the metal bar aside as one of the symbols of his kingdom.
The *Features* mentioned about this metal in both the history of Jura and Nihari is simply that it is a black mineral that has a high ability to deal with natural energy and even soul force as it can absorb large amounts of them and then excrete it again when needed without any loss or delay, A metal like this is perfect for crafting war equipment for Sages or even higher!
But at the same time, Urasylium has two issues that make it only known as a name in some books... It is extremely rare, and even if it's available as dirt it still has another fatal problem, which is that it cannot be liquefied or even reformed!
It was also said that the ancient sages estimated that there was no more than one kilogram of this mineral in the planet of entire Jura, and this is what made any small scrap found sold at exorbitant prices for the purposes of research into the properties of the heavenly laws
Robin read the description excitedly. For him, the problems with this metal do not exist. From his point of view, there is no such thing as a non-formable metal. All metals soften with heat, and the problem is providing the appropriate heat for each metal. The ancient Sages may not be able to do this, but how could he be unable to do it?
Even if it took him years to explore the mineral and try several methods to reach the right temperature, it was definitely worth it!
How not and so far 3 tons of Urasylium have been found effortlessly!!
'The current main mineral used in making the Full-body Golden Armor is Fulhammer. It is also a very tough metal and is excellent as a foundation for many different Runes, But it simply cannot be compared to Urasylium in terms of the protection it can provide, plus the Runes engraved on it will give a far better output... Three tons isn't a lot, but with time we can collect enough metal to equip a special task force!! ...No, I can't just think about armor and weapons, what kind of arrays can I craft with the help of Urasylium as a base? Perhaps my initial idea of the future of arrays can now be applied.' Thoughts jogged in Robin's head non-stop
This was the second true harvest from Planet Greenland after the bud corpses!
Only after a few hours, Robin smiled after the concept of a more
developed array system began to crystallize further, but knowing that starting to implement his idea now was impossible, he went back to silently reading the rest of the reports...
The front in the far west gained Robin's interest as well, it's where Billy was battling Tree Father Descartes. Even though Billy isn't fighting an all-out war, he is still technically fighting a Tree Father with one legion
Billy played it cleverly and slowly advanced as he built more trenches to cut off the roots of the Tree Father from the area to fortify it. He did not try to directly penetrate the domination circle or find gathering areas for the Tree Father's forces as the rest of the legions do in the Hoffenheim domination circle. As for the Tree Father, it also did not direct all his forces towards Billy but only sent army after army to slow him down, reduce his forces, and only restrain his advancement.
Robin praised the behavior of the two parties, as Billy does not have the supplies or soldiers to start a full invasion, and Tree Father Descartes does not want to respond with full force and make Billy call for more support and start a real war, both sides adhere to restraint to the maximum degree while giving the other side a room to breathe...
But even in this cold war, the clear winner was still Billy!
The land he managed to get coupled with how few soldiers he lost is just worth it.
Another surprise in the report also is that the Grazing Rats Tribe is doing its job as an assistant to the Fifth Legion better than they should, they themselves managed to take 1% of the lands of the tree father from their side!
The report also says that Billy did not touch anything belonging to the Northern Fury tribe, but rather crossed their lands directly towards the other border without any friction, and even after 4 years, not a single soldier was sent to one of the tribe's cities to borrow even a cup of water!
If Robin was reading an ancient history of another kingdom, he would say that historians exaggerate the honor of their general, but his personal acquaintance with Billy made him sure that he would do such a thing.
...The reports also mention the extent of the progress and arrangement of the nine legions participating in the war against Tree Father Hoffenheim's domination circle.
Contrary to what he expected, The four Half-step Emperors did not completely occupy the first four positions!
The first place is for Alexander, this was expected of an Emperor who read and trained from a young age to lead armies, plus he is known to be the strongest individual currently in the army of the True Beginning Empire, he certainly personally participates in any location where great losses may occur and this reduces losses to the lowest degree, so having him as the number one General is only logical
But then comes Jabba as sold second!
Robin raised his eyebrows upon seeing his disciple's name here, he knows how talented Jabba is and that he is indeed a natural leader, but he does not have much experience in the field of commanding armies, especially in a long-term war like this, plus he is leading soldiers from another planet that would require much more time to gain their trust, there pound to be issues he faces while trying to command them, but he still somehow took the second place!!
'...But perhaps his personal strength played a role as well, after all, Jabba had reached the pinnacle of Dragon Realm strength long ago, He can only use his physical strength to fight against those of a peak-level Sage, and if added on top of that his level as a middle-level sage who uses the Major Heavenly Law of Gravity...' Robin let out a light whistle when he reached that point, '...Maybe Alexander isn't the strongest individual in the Empire after all.'
Then in third place comes Elizabeth and the fourth place goes to Gu Barnett, and then the fifth place is Caesar!
Again, Robin did not think that Caesar might be able to compete with those fatalists. The report attributes this high rank to the level 35 strong young man's long experience in previous wars and his good relationship with the soldiers, but this was not his last shock.
Sixth place went to General Peon, supported by Deputy General Zara. This legion is actually the slowest among the nine, but its death rate is not worth mentioning, and this is what raised its position to that degree!
Then, Victoria Frost came in seventh place, she has the longest penetration distance into the depth, but she also has the highest death rate!
Then General Kasia Levan came in eighth place, and General Richardson Frost ranked ninth... Robin had not read these two names before, but given the extent of each of them and the number of deaths, Robin can see that they are really two excellent generals, but there is no specific aspect that can be described as a specialty for them
Then Robin finished his briefing about the conditions in Greenland by reading about the massive bud storage project...
