Chapter 628 Negotiation
?*Rumble* *Rumble*
"YES, MY LORD!" All the demons shouted in unison, shaking the ground
All the Demon Emperors stood shoulder to shoulder on the wall with a killing intent that would pierce the sky, the standard demons army from the little cubs in the Energy Foundation Realm to those at the top of the Sage Realm looked as if they were eager to hear the order...
Years have passed since the siege that reduced their rations by a large margin, and most of the corpses the suicide hunting squads bring go to the Demon Kings to help them get to the Martial Emperor Realm as quickly as possible, so are they hungry? very.
All the Emperors of Orphan Blood Planet mobilized their energies until the ground began to shake beneath their feet, fear and uncertainty evident in their eyes, but they were all ready to fight here until the end no matter what, they must stop the demon army, or else disaster will strike their whole world!
*kachaa*
"That's enough! Everyone, stay in your place!" The sky quickly became cloudy again and lightning bolts began to fall like rain. Although they did not harm anyone, they were enough to attract attention to Aru again, who pointed at Robin and shouted angrily, "Do you think we are a group of clowns? If we are in a life-or-death fight, we will be satisfied by standing in front of your Demon Emperors without moving and allowing that cursed army of yours to bypass us? Any indirect attack from us will kill tens of thousands of your Demons before they can get out of those walls!"
Robin nodded in agreement with a confident smile on his face, "I realize that at least you will be able to kill half of the demon army before they spread out, perhaps so you can kill a large number of Demon Emperors before you are all annihilated, or perhaps you will be able to take the battle inside the walls and destroy the demon families inside as a form of revenge, I realize that the possibilities for your reactions are many and they are all truly frightening... But so what? Whoever is left of the demons after this massacre will be enough to wipe out your planet clean, and they in turn will have enough food to multiply their numbers several times."
Aru opened his eyes wide open, the look in this *Lord's* eyes said a lot
That person really didn't care about the number of deaths among the demons. He considered them tools, no, even less than tools! How can the demons remain silent after hearing something like this?!
Aru quickly looked at Sakaar, hoping to say words to him to try to create a rift between him and that lord, but he found Sakaar still burning with raw intent to kill. All the Demon Emperors seemed as if they had not heard anything, and some of them even grew more excited when they thought about the amount of food and the doubling of their numbers after the victory!!
*What Lord is this? How did he manage to gain the loyalty of these monsters?* Aru returned to looking into Robin's unfazed eyes again, *...I see, he himself is the most sinister monster of them all.*
"Think again, once you release the attack command you won't be able to withdraw it, don't forget that we can still make more Emperors! Once this final battle begins we will not hold ourselves off anymore, you will see another hundred Emperors in front of you in a single day, No one will win in this case!" Aru tried again. They had maintained their arrogance for a long time under the cover of illusion, but now that the truth about sacrificing their army was revealed, that confidence had evaporated.
In the end, the number of Emperors is actually equal, but there is a huge number of sages in the ranks of the demons, and now that lord has appeared who received a direct attack from the Thunder Bull without even blinking... The beginning of this unequal battle means the annihilation of all the Emperors of the planet Orphan Blood, they will struggle for a while and take many demons with them, but their end is inevitable.
"Come on, we all know there won't be another hundred of you, not even another 30 if I guess right? but then again, It doesn't matter, If more of you show up, the more I will kill." Robin shrugged, " I imagine your corpses will be a great help for the rest of the Demon Kings to mutate."
"You..!!" Aru almost shouted something else when he noticed something and lowered his voice again, "...Since you're so confident, why haven't you given the order to attack yet? ...What do you want?"
"Oh, so even a human with the head of a bull can be intelligent? Haha, I do want something and only you can give it to me." Robin raised his hand and propped his chin mockingly
"...Say it, if it's reasonable we can discuss it," Aru spoke with much difficulty, he didn't come today with the intention of negotiating for his life!!
Robin then began to pass his golden eyes towards the Orphan Blood Planet Emperors before returning to focus his eyes on Aru again, "Sacrificing the energy foundations of a large number of cultivators in order to craft an Emperor Realm foundation is not a bad idea but it is very difficult to implement. Even if I had this idea, I would have suffered for hundreds or even thousands of years to implement it. Why do you have it and why can you use it so many times with ease?"
"..." Aru did not open his mouth
Robin pointed twice at Aru's energy gathering center, "There is also something strange going on in the foundations of your Emperor's Realm that is very eye-catching. You, for example, have a small lightning bolt that attacks the scattered pieces that made up your foundations, destroying the fragments of the laws in them, and rewriting them using the fourth stage From the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning, meaning that in a few more years all those scattered pieces will disappear and you will have a true Emperor's foundations, all built with the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning, and even a perfect law up to the fourth stage! And I do not see that you control that technique either, as it works automatically before my eyes now, that technique is a few times better than my Foundation Modification Technique! I apologize for my rudeness, but this is something a humble civilization like yours should not have."
"And..?" Aru asked impatiently, his features turning for the worse because he could already guess what Robin's next move would be
"I want all the information about the sacrifice process and this modification technique and where you got it from, In return, I will give you ten years of peace." And indeed, Robin did not disappoint
*Rumble* "Forget it!!" Aru shouted and the sky behind him thundered loudly, "This is the only thing we have that allowed us to stay strong in front of your demons up till this say, and you want us to hand it over? Do you think we are stupid to put our neck in your hand?!"
Robin laughed, "Let's be reasonable here. I know there are still some cultivators here and there on your planet that you can use to make more Emperors, but how many Emperors? By estimation, you can make a maximum of about twenty more Emperors if you sacrifice your families. Meanwhile, I can bring food to the demons through that space portal behind me and nourish them until they produce twenty more Emperors with ease... Your reliance on sacrifice weakens you, not strengthens you, give me those techniques or items and I will grant you some good conditions. Work for me, you and your families will live in better conditions and thrive like never before, more importantly, you will not need to sacrifice anyone else."
"Impossible! How can we trust the words of someone like you? No matter what method you use or how you assure us, it is impossible for us to hand over our last line of defense against you, even if we all die, we will not let you have it!!" Aru shouted again angrily, the rest of the Emperors behind him agreed as well
Robin was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and shook his head, "It seems that convincing you with the oath tablets is not possible at the moment, Hah? That's okay too, I will give you one last way to end the day in peace, If you lot didn't agree to this one too then you don't need to respond, I advise you to just attack directly as the battle will be unavoidable."
Aru looked at the rest of the Emperors next to him, who nodded towards him, then he suppressed his anger a little and asked, "What is it?"
Robin smiled and then pointed at Flora, "I want her."
