Chapter 807: Message from the crown prince
Planet Nihari-- Near the Northern-Central border
*Swoosh*
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
Robin waited until the Thousand Martial Emperors of the Great Serpent Empire flew past him, then he slowly removed the cover of darkness from around him and looked towards the north with obvious concern...
It had been almost 12 hours since Robin heard the news of the Orphan Blood Planet being separated, during which many fights took place on the front lines of the pursuit... The 90 Martial Emperors of the Great Serpent Empire no longer wanted to keep going, every few hundred miles they would stop and start a quarrel for a few minutes before they were intimidated and Forced to continue.
The 400+ Martial Emperors who were closely following the pursuit from above the Sky Seal Grand Array became more and more eager to join the battle, attacking the array with all their strength whenever a battle started below and whenever they had a chance, but in the end, they would give up and continued to push forward as they don't want to leave a big distance between them and their colleagues. Some of them also spread out to the right and left at the top of the array to search for any borders or loopholes.
The few hundred spaceships also joined the fun and started firing their cannons at the True Begining Martial Emperors from behind, 3 motherships even managed to seriously injure a few True Begining Martial Emperors before they were shot down, 8 of the ships also managed to break free and escape but didn't go too far before Robin got them.
All these delays made the time difference between the front line and the 1000 Martial Emperors led by the three marshals less than one hour... If more fights broke during the remaining day, the main battle might begin early.
But this was not what worried Robin. All of this was calculated and considered a normal reaction from the enemies. What really worried him was how the three marshals were dealing with the situation!
Maybe the 90 Emperors who escaped in the first place are helpless, the other 400 at the top of the array are also behaving reasonably, following orders and trying to save their comrades... But why are those 1000 Emperors and the Three Marshals acting so nicely?
If Robin were in their place and in a situation like this, he would think there was a trap by now.
According to his information, these are monsters who have conquered planets and fought for thousands of years. How could such a possibility pass over them? However, five and a half days had passed since the pursuit began. Since then, they had been moving in a straight line at the same pace without deviation. Not one of them had even stopped to destroy a city to vent their anger or pull any trick.
They are way too comfortable!
"I hope this snake race is just stupid and I'm overthinking..." Robin clenched his fist. What increases his belief that something is wrong is that even though he is a few steps away from resolving the battle, the bad feeling has not left him, and is even increasing!
At this moment Robin heard a message, "Your Excellency, I have captured the escaped Shadow Sword, where is your Excellency's location? I will bring him to you?"
"Shadow Sword? Ah... The one I ordered to arrest half a day ago? Only now did you catch him?!" Robin actually forgot about him. After a small reproach, Robin sent many numbers without stopping.
*Pzzzzzz*
*Poof* "Pfft!"
An instant space portal opened next to Robin, and two people came out of it, one of them was a Martial Emperor wearing black-gold armor, and the second was wearing a shadow sword uniform, but was thrown to the ground, spitting out blood.
The Martial Emperor wearing the black-gold armor bowed slightly, "I apologize for the delay, Your Excellency, This is my fault. I was assigned to arrest this boy because I am the fastest among all the Wind Forces available, but he was very crafty. As soon as he sensed me approaching from afar, he abandoned his Draco and used the law of Darkness to hide around, I had to call for help from some brothers from the Wind and Light forces and a number of Shadow Sword forces as well to besiege him."
Robin raised his eyebrows slightly, then took a few steps towards the Shadow Sword in surprise, "What exactly do you intend? Shadow Swords are a system built to integrate. If you got some important information then you had to hand over any information to someone with a higher rank than you, then he would deliver it to someone higher than him, only then it would come to me in the end if it were of utmost importance. If every shadow sword acts like you, what is the use of the system? If the news you brought me is not worth breaking the sequence, are you prepared for the consequences?
"I'm ready for anything--!! Pfftt!!" Shadow Sword almost spoke but he spat out blood, a lot of it, yet he forced himself to say two more words: "...Please... Alone..."
Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, then took out two fourth-grade life talismans and threw them on his back, then motioned to the Martial Emperor, "You may leave, I will take care of the rest."
The Wind Emperor bowed slightly and then left the way he came.
Robin looked at the Shadow Sword during the treatment process with surprised and anxious eyes at the same time. He tried to wait longer, but he could not restrain himself and spoke first, "They told me that you were carrying a message from the Crown Prince. Did you mean Richard?"
"Yes, Your Excellency..." Shadow Sword started to recover somewhat, in order to arrest him they gave him serious internal injuries.
"...Is he the one who told you to deliver the message using this title?" Robin asked quickly
"No, Your Excellency... Cough Cough," Shadow Sword took several breaths, "but I called him that more than once and he didn't tell me to stop."
Robin showed a smile for a moment before it quickly disappeared, "Oh, I can waive your punishment as long as the Crown Prince gives you the order then, and I will even give you a reward for sticking to the orders haha. I will talk with the Crown Prince later and teach him these things myself."
'Crown Prince.. Richard accepts the title of Crown Prince!!'
He has not been this happy in the last several months, No, in the last several decades!!
"So what does the Crown Prince want? A new palace in the Imperial Capital? No that's not good enough, I will build him a city! Maybe he wants to get married? No, no, he's still young... Maybe he wants a remote plot of land in Greenland? I know it, that guy wants to stay away from everything! But it would be good too..." Robin asked excitedly, whatever Richard wanted, Richard would get!
A pained facial expression took over Shadow Sword's features when he remembered the situation. He bit his lower lip and looked down as he shouted, "The Crown Prince... Wants you to save Jura before it's too late!!"
