Lord of the Truth

Chapter 447 A Shout

?

*PAA*

"We salute your Excellency."

"We salute your Excellency!" "We salute your Excellency!" "We salute your Excellency!"

Jabba gave a full bow when he saw Robin landing in front of him, then the rest of the generals and thousands of soldiers that were close to the gate bowed behind him in succession. What was new was that this time their faces not only showed the usual signs of respect and awe but there was also pure happiness!

Even Jabba himself, Caesar, and Peon, who have a high degree of confidence in Robin's abilities, and keep up to date with his news by communicating with Elizabeth, seemed as if they were a step away from speeding up and hugging Robin!

Caesar actually almost did it when he saw him coming, but he clenched his hand and fixed his foot on the ground. To hug the master of Planet Jura like a child hugging his father in front of all those soldiers would diminish his and Robin's prestige in their eyes, so he kept watching Robin coming toward him with eyes filled with tears of joy in silence...

As for the rest, happiness and shock almost canceled all their thoughts... After Robin fell that day and after his shout *I will drag you with me* everyone thought that he was already dead... His waking up and taking the reins again in less than three months only is a miracle, a miracle only His Excellency Robin can achieve!

And there was another reason to be happy today, Robin did not come alone, Alexander also, and about a thousand Sages of those who got hit by the thunderbolts came with him too, and they all seem energetic!

"Rest." Robin raised both hands and smiled, then looked back at Jabba, "Elizabeth told me a thing or two about what's going on here, but I still need a quick summary from you, Mr. second commander!"

"Ahem, yes. First, let me tell you on behalf of everyone that we welcome your safe return." Jabba nodded and said excitedly, then continued in a low voice, "As for the situation, perhaps we should discuss it in a quieter place."

"That's reasonable ..." Robin nodded with a smile and focused eyes, then began to penetrate the camp with steady steps, the thousand or so sages were left behind to mangle with the rest of the army, as for Alexander and the rest of the generals walked half a step behind Robin in silence, only Jabba began to give him directions to reach the command tent

"No, there is no time to enter the tents today, let's go directly to the frontier."

"Hmm? ...Yes." Jabba was amazed at Robin's request, as he wanted to discuss with him the current situation and how to get out of it with minimal damage, such a long dialogue could take hours if not days!

After five minutes---

e?glesn??el "We salute your Excellency!"

"We salute His--... Hah...?"

*Step... Step...*

Robin advanced between the ranks of the guards with the generals behind him as he is, then he advanced further until he left the defensive line then he found a large rock and jumped on it, then with narrow eyes, he began to observe the situation in front of him...

Only two kilometers away, there is a huge camp that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and stables full of beasts that he has never seen in his life before, some of them look like rhinos, some of them look like lions and some of them are huge reptiles...

What attracted his attention the most was a battalion of about 10,000 soldiers standing ready in front of that camp, all of them wearing shields and holding metal swords like those that were widespread on the planet Jura in the past...

In fact, Robin could tell that these humans do indeed look a lot like the people of Planet Jura, perhaps the only noticeable difference being that their skin tends to be darker in color.

"Does anyone intend to enlighten me and tell me why that battalion looks as if they are ready to engage us? And why is our army only 75 kilometers away from the hill and not 500 kilometers away as I commanded? Has a war started between us and those people already?!" Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly and replied

Everyone looked at Jabba at that moment, and Victoria even gestured him to speak with gloating features

Jabba sighed when he saw this and took another step forward, "I alone take responsibility for the retreat."

Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly, "What exactly happened?"

"...About two and a half months ago, when we helped those local humans against the white humanoid creatures and exterminated huge numbers of them, things were relatively good between us and gradually improved with each wave of attacks we repelled together, but since they learned that we cannot speak to them in their language at all And they treat us coldly, not bad, just cold…" Jabba waited a moment at this point and then continued, "After we defeated all the armies of white humanoid creatures at that point and they sent small battalions to wipe them out completely even if there was one left, I started Problems appear between us, as they visibly begin to gather in front of us as if they are ready for war against us."

"Like this here." Robin pointed towards the local humans camp behind him

"Exactly... They kept amassing for a few days. They could have attacked at any time, but they waited. They advanced very slowly as if they were urging us to leave, or else you will declare war." Jabba spoke and then pointed to the rest of the generals around him, especially Victoria, "The gentlemen here wanted me to give the order to hold our positions and prove the strength of our army so that they would not think that we were weak, and I was saying that we should retreat until we find an opportunity to repair relations later, and the argument continued between us until The local human army approached us to a dangerous distance... At that moment we received Your Majesty's orders to retreat to the 500 kilometers mark."

Victoria didn't seem to like it, so she humphed and spoke, "Don't try to deflect the responsibility onto His Excellency, he told you to keep 500 kilometers and consider it our territory and defend it, but what did you do? They kept on advancing towards us after they killed off all the white humanoid things in their area, and you kept backing away until we got to this point! They must think we're a bunch of clowns now!!"

"I agree with Victoria this time, our forces can stop that army or even wipe it out completely if we have to, why did we have to retreat? The True Beginning Empire should not retreat in front of anyone, we came here to invade!!" Caesar also spoke annoyed

Robin glanced at all the generals and senior leaders around him, all of whom were clearly annoyed and angry at Jabba's decisions in the continuous retreat. Even Alexander stood with his eyebrows furrowed.

When Robin saw this, he turned back to look at Jabba, smiling, "It looks like it's been a difficult time for you..."

Jabba shook his head with a sigh, "Master, you said in your orders to General Elizabeth that I should do what I see fit until you are back to us, and I did just that. I am sorry if my decisions made your army look weak, Master, but I wanted to maintain good relations with those local humans until you come back to us and decide what we should do, If you want to attack them now then I will kill the most of them for you! ...If you see me wrong, then please teach me my fault."

"No... No, you did not make a mistake. We all know we didn't come here to make friends, but we didn't come here to invade or plunder either, I think you are the only one who gets me, Jabba...", Robin spoke with a clear voice, then he looked at the sky with a smile, "Actually, you gave me a chance to try what I intend to do..."

"you are...?" Jabba closed his eyes  a little and was about to ask something

But at this moment Robin turned around to look towards the local human camp again and used the Major Wind Law to raise his voice, then shouted out loudly: ["Su Shua Kali, Bami Vit Rasul!"]
