Chapter 804: News from the South
Nihari planet---
*swoosh* *swoosh*
*Boom*
Hiding inside one of the evacuated villages, Robin, as usual, followed the chase with great concentration.
Five days have passed since the Earth Seal Array was broken and the pursuit began, and not a single boring moment has passed during these five days...
The Martial Emperors of the Great Serpent Empire at the front were already tired and full of injuries after the battle of the city, and after being forced to fly under the massive weight of gravity for days, some of them gave up and decided to stop and fight until the end, calling on the others to do the same!
In order to prevent a chain reaction from occurring that would cause all the Great Serpent Martial Emperors to stop and end the pursuit, Robin would intervene every time and kill whoever stops before opening their mouths, He had killed seven so far.
To avoid further problems, Robin ordered his Martial Emperors to slow down and allow their opponents to catch their breath so they could continue advancing. They started to pretend there was a problem going on and stop for five minutes every few hours to give them the feeling that they could still escape.
The spaceships also tried more than once to use maximum speed to escape the pursuit, but Caesar and Alexander would shoot down any ship they felt was about to make a major move. But the captains of three ships were smart enough to evade detection and actually managed to activate the engines and set off, but they were not faster than the Majoe Heavenly Law of Time, they all fell at Robin's hands before they could get away.
Because of all these delays, the three marshals and their followers succeeded in narrowing the gap to one hour after it was four hours, and a large number of them succeeded in breaking through the Sky Seal Grand Array and descending to join the chase below. If there was another major delay, they would be able to catch up and the second battle major would begin before they reach the North!
Robin inserted his soul sense into his voice ring and sent, "We will reach the northern border within 36 hours maximum. Are there any movements of any kind on the border?"
Perhaps the only positive surprise over the past few days is that Holak did not carry out his threat. So far, at least, Nothing occurred that may cause the pursuit to stop. Rather, as they progressed, Robin noticed that they had penetrated territory that was likely under the control of a Beast Emperor and was prepared to remove the threat, but That beast didn't move at all. "Yes, Your Excellency, there are big moments here, I see the Northern Governor Holak personally sitting with an annoyed expression on the edge of the northern-central border, If he takes another step, he will enter the central region." The response came quickly from Shadow Sword, "And he is not alone, behind him stands a huge army standing at the end of the path that was set for the chase. There are at least 300 giant Martial Emperors from the eleven northern tribes, and there are hundreds of thousands of tribal soldiers as well. I also see dozens of huge beasts standing behind The Wyvern Crixus The Great, and the numbers seem to be increasing."
"Hmph, I knew he was selfish and greedy, but he is definitely not stupid." Robin spoke confidently, but he was smiling at the same time, "Continue watching him closely, the coming hours will be fateful for the war." Then close the communication channel.
Then the smile slowly disappeared from his face again...
Holak's movements mean that he has begun to mobilize to participate in the war, and this is certainly good news, but the overall situation has not improved that much...
During the Safe City War, there were many casualties, especially on the part of the Great Serpent Empire who lost between 700-800 Martial Emperors in total.
But the losses were not from one side. On the side of the True Beginning Empire, they lost roughly 350 human Martial Emperors From Jura and Greenland, 30 Demi-human Martial Mmperors of The Orphan Blood Planet, and 200 Demon Emperors... This is in addition to the 100 human Martial Emperors and the 100 Demons who set off for the secret project!
This meant that the True Beginning Empire side now had approximately 500 Martial Emperors from Greenland, Jura, and Orphan Blood, and it also had 300 Demon Emperors, for a total of 800 Martial Emperors ready to fight.
If Holak's words were true and he could mobilize 600 Martial Emperors before the border battle started, this would raise their side to a total of 1,400 Martial Emperors!
On the other hand, the Demi-Snakes still have at least 1,500 Martial Emperors participating in this pursuit, and there are 50 others spread out in the central region that the Demons are still searching for at this moment...
1400 vs 1500
Robin clenched his fists... This battle will not involve arrays, machinations, or psychological games. As soon as they collide on the northern border, a devastating battle will take place, the title of which is Power.
If the trap was perfect and the 40 Warlords got involved, then Robin personally intervened and showed some cards, maybe they could snatch victory... but the price would be devastating.
In order to kill 800 Martial Emperors on the Demi-snake side, he had to sacrifice nearly 600 on his side.
This battle would undoubtedly be devastating without both sides, leaving the True Beginning Empire completely helpless afterward!
In a flurry of anger, Robin inserted his soul sense into the ring again, "Flora, did the group you sent for Orphan Blood decide to spend a family vacation there? Why the hell did they take so long?!"
Robin was really burning with anger now. If he had been able to send all those captives to the orphan's blood and turn them into sacrifices, he might have obtained hundreds of Martial Emperors by now, but since that group had gone to convince Aru and the rest of his followers, they disappeared!
"Your Excellency, I assure you that something like this cannot happen." Flora's voice sounded fearful, "My father went on that mission with 9 other tribal chiefs, all of them of respectable stature and of authority in the Orphan Blood Planet. How is it possible that they would be lazy after receiving a direct order? Something... must have happened..." Then her voice began to gradually fade until it disappeared as if she was thinking about something.
Robin's next angry words were exactly what she was afraid of, "Oh, what might happen to those ten big shots in their own backyard? Maybe your sweetheart declared direct disobedience and he and his followers arrested them, and perhaps even killed them? I was showing good faith and decided to throw a bone for the dogs but in return, they bite my hand. How brave! Today I will get the Demons to visit all their tribes."
"No please no!!" Flora responded in horror
Robin was not stupid to summon all the Demon Emperors to participate in the battle of Nihari and leave Orphan's Blood unattended, he told Amon to leave a garrison behind.
Aru has around thirty followers at the level of a Martial Emperor, all of whom are Demi- humans with high destructive power, and Aru himself is a true monster at level 45 that no one can stop him face to face... So in return, Amon left 50 Demon Emperors behind with their head being a Demon Emperor at level 47, In addition to the millions of Demons present on Planet Orphan's Blood now... if Robin really orders them to start a war on the rebels, they would be more than enough to shed seas of blood!
Then she quickly continued, "Please allow me to return. I will take all the Martial Emperors of the Orphan Blood Planet with me and go see what is happening. If we find an obstacle, we will remove it. If we find a rebellion, we will kill everyone involved and unite the planet under your command by force. Today you will receive a satisfactory answer! Please... There is no need to move the Demons again."
Faced with Flora's insistence, Robin could only sigh, "...Alright, gather at the southern space portal. I will send orders to prepare it for you. You will leave in ten minutes!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Flora let out a relieved exhale and then began to communicate with all the Orphan Blood Emperors, all of them opening instantaneous portals and disappearing from the pursuit one by one.
As for Robin, he returned to focusing on the pursuit again, until this focus was interrupted ten minutes later, when a message came to him, "Your Excellency, I am Elder Wells Burton in charge of the South space portal, I am afraid we have a problem here..."
"What's wrong?" Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly
"I tried to make the link with the portal in Orphan Blood Planet several times but to no avail,
there is no response. I'm afraid it no longer exists."
