Chapter 882: Retreat
"Marshal!"
"Your Excellency!!"
Robin's shout using his ability as the planet's owner shook the battlefield and entered every ear, all individual battles stopped and all eyes turned towards him, even Hoffenheim stopped his attack.
"Bring back the Marshal immediately or suffer the consequences!" The Marshal's chief aide shouted in anger and humiliation, seeing the master he had followed for over a thousand years under someone's feet was a cruel feeling.
And he wasn't the only one who felt this way, the rest of the martial emperors in the great serpent army and even the soldiers wrung their hands tightly as they looked at Robin with endless anger and hate.
"Protect Your Majesty!!" One of the warlords shouted loudly then left his position and rushed towards Robin, the rest of the True Beginning Army took advantage of the pause in the fighting and also rushed to form a protective circle around His Excellency as well.
As for Robin, he waited a little while for the army of the True Beginning to gather around him, and for the army of the Great Serpent Empire to begin to comprehend their position, then he continued, "This bag of meat is now mine, you have been defeated just like your armies in the rest of my planets, and your so-called marshals were crushed under the feet of my generals the same way you see now. You think you are too mighty? The Great Serpent Empire?! You worth nothing in my eyes!"
"As for those of you who remain, you have two choices... Either you remain and continue in this useless fight until support arrives and you are all killed, or you may f*ck off from my planet!" Robin was speaking with confidence and majesty that made the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Serpent Empire tremble a little, making them feel that they were facing Pythor himself!
And he was really confident, not just an act... Even if the current battle continued as it was, it would continue for hours without a victor emerging due to the presence of Hoffenheim, but during those hours he could use the Spear of Truth and his Spacetime ability to capture a number of Martial Emperors every now and then to gradually reduce their numbers.
But in the end, he wouldn't be able to kill them all, there would come a time when the Great Serpent Army would realize that they were inevitably defeated and would withdraw... So it would be better if they withdrew now and got it over with!
"....." The Marshal's assistants and the three generals didn't know what to say. The Marshal was their psychological pillar, the person who could guide, unite, and protect them if a strong enemy appeared, but he had already fallen...
The fact that Robin is here after he was said to be in Nihari means that the planets have been linked again and that the possibility of support is indeed very high, otherwise, the Planetary Emperor wouldn't have come alone if he wasn't confident of victory... Why would he give them a chance to escape while support is coming? That could be answered easily, simply because he doesn't want more losses on his side either.
And most importantly... They don't want to see this Planetary Emperor act personally again, they still don't know what happened the first time!!
The Marshal's assistants and the generals looked at each other, all of them wanting to accept Robin's offer and withdraw, but none of them wanted to be the first to take the initiative.
"...Hand over the Marshal and we'll leave." The Marshal's chief assistant pointed at his master's body... If he returned to Planet Poison Rock and said that he gave the order to withdraw in order to save the Marshal's life, it would be a good argument.
"Oh, this thing right here?" Robin looked down at his feet... The *Marshal* was missing an arm and a leg, his entire body was covered in wind blade injuries and all the holes in his head were dripping with blood, his eyes were sunk deep into his skull from the severity of the soul damage he had suffered, even if he gave him back to his army, that thing would never be the same again, neither physically nor mentally.
However: "Okay, I'll take something that belongs to me and you take the rest." Robin smiled then opened his palm, pointed at the Marshal, and muttered with a crazy laugh, "Soul Catching Net."
*Phooooom* A silver circle like the one he came out of opened right next to the Marshal's ear and something like a net came out of it and penetrated into his head.
"Aaaahhhh!!!!!" The Marshal who seemed to have already been detached from reality let out a harsh scream like a pig being slaughtered and started kicking his one foot, while his one arm spasmed and twisted behind his back!!...then he was silent.
*Paa* The Marshal's feet and arms calmed down again, his trembling body stopped shaking, and he was dead.
"Marshal!!" The entire Great Serpent Empire's army was in a rage at this horrific sight.
Before their eyes, the silver net came out of the Marshal's ear, and inside it was a white ball. The ball was quickly pulled into the silver circle and then closed as if nothing had happened. Only then did Robin smile, then kicked the Marshal's body upwards with a satisfied smile, "Alright, I'm done, you can take him."
Then he put his hands behind his back, maintaining his big smile as if he hadn't just committed a war crime.
*Clank* *Clank*
The Great Serpent Empire's army clenched their teeth tightly and gripped their weapons until the handles almost bent, all of them waiting for the orders to attack.
The Warlords and the True Beginning Army also raised their weapons, certain that a fiercer battle would begin after what His Excellency had done.
But the battle never came...
The Marshal's chief Assistant kept looking right and left trying to find someone to speak up, whoever speak first now and orders an attack will be their new leader during the invasion!
But no one spoke, everyone knew this and every assistant and every general shot his mouth tight afraid that a word would escape by mistake.
The situation was bad, too bad, they lost their marshal while at the same time, the other side had their own Planetary Emperor himself by their side, and apparently they were waiting for
the support!
This is not a time to play hero and the thief, they know they are no heroes themselves!
They had to get out of there as soon as possible!!
"...You will regret your actions deeply, no one who opposes the Great Serpent Empire lives!" The Marshal's chief Assistant embraced his master's body as he looked at Robin with indignation, threw a few empty words, and then took off, "Let's go!"
"...Damn it, what are you waiting for, get back to the ships!" One of the generals got on the helm and began coordinating his men, followed by the other generals. It wasn't long before the remaining ships surged into the sky, leaving the planet, marking the end of the Greenland invasion... for now.
