Lord of the Truth

Chapter 478 Sin

”What exactly is going on with the Demons?! Arenʼt they your favorite dogs? Why didnʼt you draw them to battle in this place and leave them on Planet Jura instead? And what is wrong with those fiery borders that they imposed within the central continent? What exactly is going on there?” Billy did not back down from Robinʼs angry shout and asked directly

”...You donʼt need to stick your nose in everything.” Robin leaned his back on the chair and spoke with a clear weight

”AHA, I KNEW IT! I knew something was wrong, those motherfuckers wouldnʼt keep silent for no reason!” Billy banged the table, ”The Demons are too stupid to do anything meaningful, they are just killing machines! What criminality have you assigned them with, Robin? What have you done?!”

”HEY!!” Moren exclaimed, calling them Robinʼs dogs is passable but why also stupid?! 

”Shut up, you know Iʼm right!” Billy shouted back at Moren, then turned back to look at Robin, ”I donʼt know what you are up to, Robin, but stop them... There is always a chance to stop!”

”...I know what Iʼm doing, I didnʼt ask you to bear the sin with me. Just complete your assigned duties.” Robin replied with a frown and went back to rubbing his eyes again

”And what about you? Are YOU ready to bear a new sin? Didnʼt it burden you enough after what you did to the Ancestral Continent?!” Billy shouted again

Billyʼs outburst affected the rest of the generals in the open tent, they all seemed worried and began to look at each other with the corners of their eyes. Whatever is happening with the Demons is really something that does not bode well and they do not want to have anything to do with it!

Robin himself twitched for a moment when he heard him... Who would want to carry the sin of blood on his shoulders?

However...

Isnʼt the war itself a sin?!

Assuming that he completely avoided the innocent and focused on the wars of subjugating the hostile armies, Then what about every soul that would be lost from his side or from the opposing army, would he not carry their sin as well?

Sin and blood... If he, as a young emperor who is expanding his territory, cannot bear them, then who will bear them for him?

Robin this time didnʼt even reply to Billy, he just kept rubbing his eyes but his movement slowed down visibly, then he seemed to remember something and turned back to look at Billy, ”What are you doing here in the first place? Didnʼt I entrust you with the management of Planet Jura? Do my orders have no weight anymore?!”

Caesar shrugged and spoke, ”I told him to stay but he insisted on coming.”

”...What do I do then? leave you Lot messing around here while I am sitting behind a desk planning to open some new markets?! Nope!” Billy knew that Robin was trying to change the subject so he went along and replied, then continued, ”Thereʼs nothing I can do there anyway, the Burtons control the Ancestral Continent while Frost, Trent, Barnett and Levan families control the rest of the four continents, while the Central Continent is almost empty now with only a few individuals to keep your imperial city clean, and your dogs of course.” Billy took a quick glance at Moren

and then continued, ”What could I do there other than perhaps coordinating between the families there and giving some suggestions? I would rather be here fighting with the boys! Anyway, I have entrusted Alfred Marley with my duties, he was the prince of a large kingdom and he understands more about these matters than I, and he has the rest of his family to support him and they all have Management experiences as well, It will be their best chance to prove themselves worthy for you, I believe Alfred will give you a good surprise.”

”Alfred? ...Aha, Heʼs a good boy.” Robin tapped his table a few times at the name he had been forgetting, then leaned his body forward again to look at the table and spoke, ”Okay then letʼs get back on topic.”

The table was flat, but one of the Rune Masters took his time and drew a map of the entire area around them on the table to make it easier for the generals to determine their paths.

Robin continued to focus on the map for a while, then pointed towards a certain spot and spoke, ”Here is where we first landed, this place has the largest budding ground in the western region of Father Tree Hoffenheim Domination Circle, it will be one of your main targets, and here... and here...”

Robin continued to draw points on the map, one after the other, and after drawing quite a few points, he took a small dagger from Peonʼs waist standing next to him and began to expand the map from his memory and draw a few more dots representing the budding ground.

This information was one of the benefits of soul-searching Hundreds of Buds.

”As for these regions, they are the main gathering centers of the buds, there are at least ten million buds in each one of them, their levels ranging from Mortal to Sage.” Robin completed drawing X marks on the assembly points

In just ten minutes the table was filled to the brim with so many dots and X marks that forced the generals to look at each other, each one of these marks containing an army numbering at least ten million.

Robin finally paused and raised his head, ”This is all the information I have about the western region of Tree Father Hoffenheimʼs domination circle, there are a total of at least three hundred million buds in these marks, this does not include any bizarre moves that Tree Father Hoffenheim might make and does not include any Plans or traps he might lay, I also I do not have any information about those wizards or whatever special weapons Tree Father Hoffenheim might be hiding, and I donʼt know if another Tree Father will intervene to fight on Hoffenheimʼs side... Iʼm just drawing you your goals, and how to deal It will be left to the commander of the army.”

”Three hundred million…” Old Gu couldnʼt hold back a few drops of sweat on his forehead, theyʼre going to have to fight them all?! And all of those are just in the Western Region?!

Robin waved, ”Most of them are only as strong as a full-grown mortal so donʼt worry about them, and they are not humans, no, they arenʼt living beings at all! so donʼt forget this when dealing with them, They are just some kind of stronger puppets so kill as much as you need to see your mission through. I donʼt know if these beings are capable of surrendering at all, but if they do, then accept their surrender. There is no need for total annihilation if not necessary.”

”Leaving the handling to the commander of the army... Accept their surrender... Father, will you not lead us?” Caesar asked quickly, he was waiting for this day to move under his fatherʼs leadership again, the last battle they gathered was against The Lying Water Kingdom!
