Lord of the Truth

Chapter 170 – Two Months

Two weeks later… Jura City…

”Haaaaaaah~” Robin at up with a yawn and started stretching for a few seconds, then looked around, ”Hm.? Looks like I am home… Mila?!”

Finally, his eyes settled on the body of a female lying beside him on his bed wearing nothing but her underwear

”Hmmm.. good morning my love, I see you have finally woken up.. how do you feel?” Mila replied in a drowsy voice, yawning as well

”You… what are you doing on my bed with these clothes? Did you… did you rape me when was most vulnerable?” Robin spoke seriously and covered his chest with both hands

Mila stooped her yawn in the middle when she heard this and looked at him in anger, ”…Is this a joke? I thought you were about to die!!” 

” does that give you the right to take my innocence? I will sue you!!” Robin continued to cover his chest

”..pfff…” Mila couldnʼt hold herself more and started laughing, ” you… Who hears the stories circulating in the streets about the mighty Robin who attacked more than thirty Saints and using a combined power of thousands of knights to kill 3 strong saints in one stroke, wouldnʼt believe you are the same person….”

”Ahahaha hey you should laugh more while you are with me girl, life canʼt stand being so serious at all time or it will be too boring,” Robin laughed out loud and extended his hand, placing it on her breasts that were popping out of her bra and started squeezing them, and asked with an emotionless face, ”How long have I been sleeping? What happened after I lost consciousness?”

”….” Mila couldnʼt find a reply, she just started wondering how can a gu keep just a straight face when he was doing something so lewd.

”You know what, I will not beat you… The fault is on me because I decided to sleep here the whole time you were unconscious to take care of you, hmph!” Then she got up and started to dress up

”Hahaha, why are you so serious? I just wanted to reward you for your services!” Robin laughed out loud and then fell again to his back.

Mila stopped her dressing process, walked back again and Robin pinched him on the thigh, ”Where do you think you are going? Get your ass out of bed at once, it has been two whole months since you passed out and everyoneʼs waiting for you, the war has already begun on the Lying Water Kingdom!”

”wh-… WHAT?!” Robin panicked and rose from the bed, ”Two whole months?! Why didnʼt anyone wake me up?!”

”Do you think you were taking an afternoon nap? Everyone was worried about your body state and we could only hope that it is just exhaustion that will heal with time, how could we risk waking you up? never mind, Whatʼs important is that you are up now…” Mila said as she put on the last piece of her clothes.

”This.. my body needed two whole months to recover even with my bodyʼs improved healing process that I got from life and vitality laws..? damn, I should be more careful using this method in the future…” Robin started muttering to himself, then calmed down a bit, and asked, ” beauty, what exactly happened in my sleep?” 

Mila sat on a chair beside the bed and put one leg over the other, ”After you returned to Jura, the Patriarch ordered the soldiers of the new land to strip off their weapons to be redistributed 

half of which were given to Uncle Edward as per the agreement, So he took them loaded on a huge caravan, with the last batch of agreed talismans along with them, and set out towards Bradleyʼs Pearl city about a month and a half ago to join and lead the Bradleysʼ army.

As for the lands you won from the Evrens… some small battles happened between the 50K army you left there and nobles who refuses the Burtons rule and refuse the get of the land… that Baron family who stole the two soul techniques were among them… so Patriarch Brain sent the three special legions along side the saints, and well.. you may say it ended too badly for those who chose to rebel.”

Robin opened his eye wide, these two months were too busy as he thought, ” then what?”

” Seeing that the battles are growing fiercer, and that Prince Alfred came to join our army and refused to go back to the capital, the Royal Family decided to intervene and announced that those lands belong to the Burtons now and signed an official recognition of your right on it… since then it became officially you familyʼs property and everything became much easier

the battles stopped and those who refused to swear allegiance were thrown out, a quarter of the Duchy of Evren has become yours just as Jura is, with not even one rebel left… I think you should thank Alfred for that!”

”haha what a good boy! those who see my true greatness are bound to become great themselves, I reward him later” Robin started laughing

”Oh please, I might suggest you start faking some modesty for change…” Mila rolled her eyes

” Haha, what? donʼt I deserve to be a little arrogant? then who is?” Robin started laughing, then gestured to her with both his hands to move one, ” you said the war at the Lying water kingdom has started? since when exactly and how is it going?

”The war began about 3 weeks ago, as two armies of half a million soldiers each moved towards the Kingdom of Lying Water. The Eight Kingdoms are in full swing and they follow what is happening. This is undoubtedly one of the largest wars between the kingdoms that have occurred in the past few thousand years. ”

”So, what about the results so far?” Robin asked with interest

” The Lying water kingdom noticed the gathering of armies in the duchies of Alton and Bradley more than two years ago and they had already started preparing in case they were attacked, so the invasion process did not go smoothly as we hoped… 

if such an invasion had happened without our current means, our kingdomʼs two armies would have been defeated by now, but because of the presence of talismans and abundance of categorized weapons, the war is somehow still going in our favor… my father already took control of 30% of the duchy he attacked, and Duke Raymond Alton took 20% of another one.” Mila explained

”Two? Wasnʼt the plan to attack three duchies? three weeks are up and they are stuck with just two?” Robin wondered with a raised eyebrow

”Yep, just two… The plan was to use the advantage of overwhelming talismans to slash deep into the two duchies that were at the side first and then take out subsidiary armies to conquer the third duchy that is in the middle… but my father told me that they were using new methods to reduce the damage of the talismans, which slowed their advance significantly and made the consumption of their talismans faster… 

There hasnʼt been any particular massive battle until this point, but he fought many battles those three weeks and said that in the battles he expected Using 10,000 talismans, he had to use 15,000.”

Robin went silent for a bit then opened his mouth, ” They already began to implement battling strategies that goes against my talisman? …Sage Albert was right to encourage an invasion of this scale now, maybe in a few more years, we wouldnʼt have held a chance… 

 Hmm but I think an invasion of this side is expected to go a little slow, And the results arenʼt that bad so far, I think the next battles would be easier for them after they get used to those new strategies..” Robin rubbed his head but seemed to notice something and asked, ”And what are you doing here, why didnʼt you go with your uncle to support your father in his war?”

Mila furrowed her eyebrow, ”Why would I go? Your agreement with my father is that only Uncle Edward will go with him to lead the army, but I and the rest of the Three Saints and a few dozen knights will remain with the Burtons to support your growth.”

”This was before so many Saints and Knights appeared in the Burton family, plus everything is under control now, you all may graciously depart now to share in your familyʼs glory, I will not withhold you from such a matter without good reason.”

”Oh, you became stronger and suddenly my familyʼs support is not welcome anymore, hah? what a generous man you are… never mind, my father would be happy to have an extra help of this size” Mila nodded with a smile, ”Alright, I will tell my three uncles and all the Bradley Knights to depart today towards the Lying water kingdom… As for me, Iʼm not going anywhere.”
