Chapter 934: Seven
"500 Martial Emperors with the power of a General..." Everyone muttered in a low voice.
Those who cared about planning and victory like Caesar and Alexander were a bit disappointed, those who were eager to fight like Peon and Raiden were tightly gripping their sleeves, and even the rest who were just following orders like Elizabeth and Julian looked serious.
"Those 500 are the survivors of a special battalion that Pythor formed from only his offspring to protect him, but since he became a protected Planetary Emperor of a few planets and refined the Poison Rock Planet, he sent them all to the Middle Planetary Belt. They spend most of their time in the war there. They have experienced a lot and each of them has their own trump cards. According to my source of information, the Overlord sent them all back to Pythor at the beginning of the war, and they are currently next to him in the capital of the Great Serpent Empire."
Robin untangled his hands and leaned back in his seat, "As for the reason for not joining the war earlier, it's easy, according to my source of information, they see what's happening as child's play and don't know why they returned the young planetary belt, some of them directly refused to come with the fleets, so Pythor allowed them to stay in the capital as a final card."
*Pshhh* Caesar sat down slowly, his vision of the map of Nihari changed completely. The Headquarters Lady Emily was the one who broke the silence, "According to the Shadow Swords statistics, only the forces escaping from the Orphan's Blood, Greenland, Jura and the planet Gudah, there are about 4 fleets and 600 martial emperors ready to rejoin the fight, this force is enough to turn the scales again if they head to Planet Nihari if the Imperial Guard also comes, our situation will be worse than ever."
"..." No one opened their mouth, imagining 500 generals lined up was terrifying
"...Your Excellency, when you said we shouldn't return to Nihari," Alexander remembered something, "Did you mean we should withdraw?"
"Of course not! There is no turning back after they raided our planets, who will pay for all this?" Robin pointed towards the Imperial Capital behind him, "Secondly, if we leave them, they will not leave us, this is a war that we must fight to the end."
"The point is, I see that going to Nihari and pressuring them will not bear fruit, at best we will eliminate them all after suffering a lot of losses, we will have a vague victory until those guards come to take certain revenge, and at worst they will be able to escape or hold out without suffering much loss." He then slowly looked at the faces of his generals, "Is a temporary victory in Nihari so tempting that we should suffer all these losses for it?" "...." Everyone nodded.
"What do you suggest, father?" Caesar sighed, since his father had said all that, he had a definite suggestion.
"Let the Second Army keep them busy," Robin waved, "I'll rely on the Shadow Swords to send a message from me to Sakaar to stop any heavy pressure and have Amon slow down his
advance. Too much pressure will only speed up the arrival of reinforcements, and that's something we're not ready for right now."
*Crack* "I don't like the idea of me standing here and watching!! ...But I understand." Caesar clenched his hands tightly, then looked at his father, "So, when are we going to go for the Orphan Blood Planet?"
"Haha, today if possible!" Robin laughed when he heard Caesar's words, that boy definitely understood him...
Yes, his plan is based on increasing his strength before the support comes, through sacrifice!
Sacrifice is a method used by the inhabitants of the Orphan Blood Planet to confront the Demons, where they would gather law users from all over the planet and offer them as boats to the pyramid of sacrifices in exchange for increasing the strength of a certain person, with this crazy method they supported about a hundred people to reach the Emperor's realm, and supported people like Flora and Aru to reach more advanced levels!
"Let's go then!!" Caesar quickly stood up, "I have prepared a number of the best officers of the First Army, all of them at the top of the Sage's realm, if you need a hundred I will prepare them for you, if you need ten thousand you will find them at your command!"
"Excellent, you saved me some effort." Robin smiled and motioned for him to sit down, "Give the list of those men's names to your brother Theo and he will find them for me, but you won't come for the Orphan Blood Planet, you have another mission... all of you do."
"Your Excellency, what do you want us to do?" Alexander asked in surprise, he had just told them directly that they wouldn't step foot on Nihari!
"Don't worry, it's very simple... The Great Serpent Empire has their home planet called Poison Rock, and they also have 8 secondary planets that they set foot in, four of them are under complete control and are called S-Class Planets, and four of them are only partially controlled and are called R-Class Planets." Robin began to explain something completely different from what everyone expected, "Apart from Poison Rock Planet which is protected by the Imperial Guards and Pythor himself who refined the planet's spirit, and Gudah Planet which we have already succeeded in liberating... I want you to attack the remaining seven."
"...?!" All the generals opened their eyes wide until they almost fell
"Your Excellency, you...?!"
As for Raiden, the dose of excitement affected him more as he quickly held his chest, "Oh my heart!!"
When they invaded Greenland nearly twenty-five years ago, they prepared all of Jura's resources and soldiers to attack it, and Robin now simply announced that he wanted to invade seven planets at once, all of which had remnants of the Great Serpent Empire's soldiers and had their local armies, especially those planets called R-Class Planets that managed to resist for hundreds if not thousands of years!
"They dropped all respect by invading our lands, why don't we return the favor?" Anger gradually began to appear on Robin's face, "I ordered Gu to show some discipline in dealing with Planet Gudah because I know that they have their own overlord and I didn't want more trouble, but there's no need to show any control with the remaining seven... Destroy them all."
