Lord of the Truth

Chapter 883: First victory



"....." Looking up, the army of the True Beginning Empire watched the spaceships leave the atmosphere, holding their weapons ready to fight until the last ship disappeared from sight.

"Huu~" Then one of the Warlords let out a long sigh of relief, then looked back and knelt down with a shout, "Your Excellency!"

*Thud* *Thud*

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!!"

In a majestic scene, tens of thousands of soldiers descended to the ground, kneeling, at the very front were the Martial Emperors of the headquarters, and behind them were the four Warlords, all kneeling with both hands and feet, looking towards the ground.

Robin raised his eyebrows as he saw this sight... This wasn't the military way of kneeling, they had never been taught such a thing before, yet they all performed it at the same time, and without communication, it was a kneeling of gratitude and absolute submission.

Just a moment ago, they were all doomed to certain death, and that death wouldn't have been worth anything, they were just trying to take a handful of soldiers from the other side with them in a miserable, featureless battle... Until Robin arrived. As soon as he arrived, all the scales were turned and the sky collapsed over the heads of their enemies.

The marshal, the madman who had tortured them for nearly a month, was killed in front of his mighty army, choking on his screams, and yet no one moved a muscle! What kind of authority is this? What kind of pride and honor is that?!

At this moment, Robin was like a massive wall that they leaned on, a pillar that held up the sky, he was like the sun in their eyes!

Robin scratched his head slightly, "Umm... Spread out and search for anyone from the Great Serpent Army who was left back, destroy any headquarters and gather any equipment they had left behind, you may also spread the news that the gloom had cleared and relieved everyone's hearts... Well, that's all, you may leave."

"Yes, Your Excellency!!" Everyone shouted loudly in one breath, then stood up and saluted with dedication, after which they set off in different directions... If they really found any remaining soldiers of the Great Serpent Army while they were in this morale state, they would bite them to death!!

After everyone left and the area was cleared, Robin sighed and waved towards the spirit creature Hoffenheim, and the large silver ring appeared below him again and slowly swallowed him until he disappeared... He then looked at the huge battlefield with knitted eyebrows for a few seconds, then smiled and spread both his hands and shouted, "Soul Catching Net!!"

*Shoooo*

A thousand units of Robin's soul power turned into a giant silver net that was thrown toward the middle of the battlefield, then he quickly pulled it out and inserted it into a large silver ring similar to the one the swallowed Soul Creature Hoffenheim, and then he repeated that move 6 more times by randomly throwing the net all over the battlefield...

Then he sighed and shook his hand, "Huuu~ Maintaining the shape and power of the net is not easy, but using it in this random way is easier than using it on a living, conscious target." He then walked back towards Peon with a smile, "Is everything okay over there?"

"I'm fine... but that was too much of a risky move, you should have at least waited for the support to arrive first, you could have stalled as long as you wanted as long as the Marshal was in your hand." Peon laughed softly and shook his head, his condition greatly improved after drinking a sip of the energy essence.

Of course, Peon meant the killing of the Marshal in front of his soldiers, the Great Serpent Army still retained a large portion of its strength, and they had around 330 Martial Emperors with them, what if they went on a rampage and attacked?!

"Hehe, what support?" Robin chuckled and sat back on the other side of the small pond.

"... You're saying that there's no support coming? And yet you acted like this?!" Peon opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Logic would have it that Robin should have created an opportunity to pull the army away, or at least taken Peon and the Warlords and fled, but what he did was far from logical... Upon his arrival, he destroyed nearly a third of the fleet, wounded the Marshal, then used that giant tree to balance the fighting and resume it, and even killed the Marshal himself in cold blood!!

"Hmm, that's exactly why I acted like this." Robin looked up at the sky with a smile, "If I acted rationally and tried to retreat or negotiate with them, they would know that I was in a weak position and they wouldn't have retreated, I had to create that psychological barrier for them that I feared nothing and that I was sure that support would arrive."

"..." Peon raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything, Robin's risk was too great, but it worked, "What would you have done if they attacked?"

With Robin leading a great battle and emerging victorious, the Great Serpent Empire's army was still too powerful, 330 martial emperors could have exhausted him to death even if they couldn't kill him directly!

"It wasn't an option, I knew they would inevitably retreat, I've suffered a lot from human nature until I learned some of its basics, and today you saw a little bit of it..." Robin shook his head

*buzz* An instant space portal opened next to the two and Theo appeared, "Haha the news was right, father you are here!" Then he took a few steps forward and hugged Robin from behind while he was sitting.

Although they hadn't separated for a long time, the events that had happened during that period and his life that was being put to the test every day made him feel like decades had passed. "Hehe, you look good, my long-haired one." Robin laughed and patted Theo on the head, "Come sit and drink with us."

Peon waited for his brother to come and sit next to him then asked, "Why isn't support coming, father? Is the war in Nihari still raging?"

"No~ I have temporarily withdrawn from Nihari, currently our army is completely divided between the Orphan Blood and Jura." Robin shook his head.

"Jura? Evergreen told me that you returned to Jura about two weeks ago, the war is still ongoing?!" Peon furrowed his brows, even Theo was shocked by this fact.

Robin nodded, "Greenland was lucky to have you and your brother, as well as Emily here to lead the resistance since day one, not to mention Evergreen's help. But Jura didn't have that kind of luck, they went too far before we arrived."

Robin squeezed his hands tightly, he saw the destruction that Jura had suffered while in the planet's spirit range and saw its current situation, it was far worse than what he had caused when he brought the demons!

"Then let's go, our mission here is over." Peon stood with his eyebrows knitted, of course, he

meant to go to Jura

*Poo*

"No need," Robin let go of the hand he was leaning on, lay on his back, and closed his eyes, "Alexander needs this victory."
