Lord of the Truth

Chapter 481 A Quarter Down

”T-- This... this….” Fugon started to stutter after Robinʼs words, it seemed as if all the words he knew had escaped from his throat.

Sending a tenth of this great army to *protect* his lands in his absence? He basically submitted to Robin to prevent that damn army from entering his land in the first place!!

And what exactly will that army do during a war that could take years? Will it just sit on the border? impossible!

They will control the strongholds of the tribe, they will deal with their lands as their own, and they may... And they may deal with their women as theirs as well!!

Fugon started waving his hand in panic, ”No, no, no, that wouldnʼt work. Never mind what I said earlier, Iʼll keep my whole army here with you, no need to send any legions to protect my tribeʼs lands. Thank you very much.”

”Hmm? Didnʼt you say that Tree Father Descartes would invade you if you didnʼt come back?” Robin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked

”The Grazing Rats Tribe has borders with the tree father Descartes like us. If Tribe Chief Sharvir puts his army on alert on the border with tree father Descartes domination circle, he will prevent him from sending any large army to invade us, and this will solve the problem.” Fugon pointed at the Rat in Robinʼs hand and spoke quickly

”As if I would put my whole army on alert for a few years for you! You havenʼt even apologized yet for putting me in this situation and you are still making more demands?!” The rat screamed in Robinʼs hand, but it actually looked cute

”Haha, donʼt worry, Fugon, no one will harm your families. besides, the presence of the Grazing Rats Tribeʼs army on their borders will not protect you. What if that Descartes decided to send a small elite battalion to your land? He would destroy it before an army before the Grazing Rats even knows what happens, right? ” Robin ignored the sparks flying between Fugon and the Rat and spoke, then called out next to him in the language of Planet Jura, ”Billy, you will be in charge of the Legion that will protect the lands of the Northern Fury Tribe.”

Billy nodded once strongly but it was clear that he was annoyed, protection missions are always boring. He just escaped protecting Planet Jura to be put again on protection duty here! But he canʼt break Robinʼs orders in front of a few strangers.

”Fyuu~” The Rat let out a long snort when he heard this. Putting his army on standby, perhaps for years, would not do him any good, just as if he placed his entire army in the borders with Tree Father Descartes, then what about the rest of his borders?

”You havenʼt escaped yet.” Robin brought the Rat close to his face and smiled, ”I understand that there is a Tree Father between you and the Tribe of Northern Fury, called Descartes, right? While my general Billy guards that border Iʼll commission him to start skirmishes with that Descartes, I want your tribe to help him on the other side. In short, while my other ten legions are busy with Tree Father Hoffenheim. I want the Grazing Rats to cooperate with General Billyʼs Fifth Legion and f*ck with Tree Father Descartes as much as possible, do you agree?”

”..What do I gain from that?” The rat was silent for a while and then asked

Robin raised his shoulders and spoke, ”I will offer you the same agreement I gave to Fugon, lands, and treasures will be distributed based on the extent of your contribution.”

Fugonʼs face grew uglier at this point, while the Ratʼs face began to glow with excitement.

The Fugon army would be only one of Ten Legions, and it might even be the weakest of them, how exactly would its contributions accumulate? As for the Grazing Rats tribe, they would only be one of two armies attacking Tree Father Descartes, the pressure on them would be greater but their chance to shine was much better!

”Alright, letʼs go!” The rat raised both of his little hands and yelled

”What about me? I have a border with Tree Father Hoffenheim and Tree Father Labeikan.”

”I also have boundaries with Tree Father Hoffenheim, Tree Father Lapikan, and Tree Father Snawist.”

Before Robin could even respond to the excited rat, two voices next to him quickly resounded... They were the hoopoe and the crow.

”Oh... You two want to enter into the agreement too?” Robin looked at them and asked with a smile

”Yes please!!!” The two spoke in one breath

All the ideas that they came up with disappeared in a moment... 

Persuading this new tribe to enter into an alliance like any other tribe? Giving them a big blow to make them know their true worth? None of this is possible.

The moment the last soldier of Juraʼs army emerged, the sense of equality that had slowly built up over hundreds of thousands of years among the human tribes of Greenland collapsed.

The harsh conditions that Robin gave Fugon before seemed like mercy from heaven now... Whatʼs the problem if Chief Robin decides on their shares? Obviously, the new tribe could fight on their own, Robin was very generous in allowing the Fugon to participate in the first place, even if he allowed them to take an inch of new land that was enough!

Rather, Leaving aside dividing the spoils… Chief Robin Holding the embodiment of Clan Chief Shervir in his hand and playing with him like a puppet didnʼt seem so strange after all.

What kept them silent til now was that they didnʼt know if such a tempting offer could be extended to them as well, but the agreement with the Grassland Rat Tribe now gave them some hope!

”Huh.. that is alright I guess ~ Since you both have a boundary with Tree Father Hoffenheim, you can join. But I understand that you canʼt enter with your full armies… Stay here with the council of generals and coordinate with them on how you will participate in the war.” Robin smiled lightly and spoke in an indifferent tone, but in reality, he was very happy inwardly

”Thank you!!” Both the hoopoe and the crow looked at each other with joy for a moment, then turned back and bowed to Robin like a subordinate to his boss.

Robin didnʼt know what to say at this scene. It didnʼt even take half a year and he actually managed to indirectly subdue four major human tribes, That is almost a quarter of the planetʼs human population!! This was something he had never expected. He knew that if he had continued the war with only the Golden Battalion, it would not have been achieved so easily... But Absolute Power always has another opinion.

”Little pieces of shit…” A few words escaped from Ellisʼ mouth, making both the crow and the hoopoe realize what had just happened.

Robin chuckled a bit, then passed his gaze on the three animals and then on Fugon and spoke, ”Today may be hard for some of you, and an opportunity for some. Some of you want to make a good long-term association with me and some of you want lands and spoils that come from accepting me, and thatʼs okay. But... Donʼt let this be the last of your concerns. From today, you are unofficial members of the True Beginning Empire, sorry for the word if I hurt some of you, but it can be said that you are now mercenaries at best.”

Fugon and the other three clan chiefs exchanged glances but didnʼt say anything

Rubin then continued, ”That situation doesnʼt need to stay the same though, if you decide to become true members of the True Beginning Empire one day, your gains will not be limited to mere lands and fortunes.”

The crow raised its head slightly and looked at Fugon and then the Hoopoe, before asking Robin, ”...What is the true beginning Empire? What are those earnings you speak of?”

”Haha, How can that be simple? show me on the battlefield whether you are worthy to join or not, then my generals will tell you!” Robin laughed loudly, then looked back at his generals, ”If nothing else for today Iʼll go back to my tent. Moren, come with me.”
