Chapter 602 A situation at the Far East

Five years later--the steep hill in Greenland--below the Imperial Palace

"Haaaa~~" Robin stretched his arms wide and yawned with a satisfied smile, then stood up and began to do some simple stretching.

"Oh, you finally finished that stupid array?" Evergreen's voice came from next to Robin. This time, the sound was not from an unknown source, Rather, there was a visible body next to Robin made of compressed air. Although it was small and not completely clear, Evergreen's features could be easily seen.

"It seems I'm done, I don't see a way I can improve the array further, not with my current experience and information at least..." Robin looked at the scrolls spread out on the desk in front of him one last time, satisfied, then stored them in his ring, and went to take a shower.

"That's great!! You spent a full 5% of your refinement running tests for that stupid array, finally, you can stop this hemorrhage!" Evergreen sighed in relief

Robin laughed, "What's the problem with that? The Warlord array deserves every bit of it and even some more! Anyways, the new refinement is what takes the most time, but replacing what I utilized takes much less time, I will be able to take back those 5% in just two months maximum.."

"You talk like you love the refinement process and can't wait to spend another two months on it! Well then, come now to finish what you started!" Evergreen clapped warmly and then flew to the wardrobe to get Robin something to wear, It was clear that this was nothing new for her.

*Rrrrrshh*

"Okay, okay, I get what you are trying to say, but not now... I'll go test the array first." Robin laughed as he washed his hair under a small cloud, but soon the smile gradually disappeared from his face, as if he remembered something. "... There's something I need to check too, I can't wait any longer."

"Something important you need to check? ...oh, You mean that the demons haven't invited you to the seventh wave yet? You are overthinking this. Maybe the wave hasn't started yet." Evergreen shook her head and then sent a light wind to dry Robin's hair

"This is what I kept telling myself too, but 5 years have passed since my meeting with Moren. How has the seventh wave not happened yet? According to the timeline in his story, the first six waves happened in less than 4 years!" Robin shook his head as he looked at Evergreen, then went back to washing his naked body, "In addition, his excuse for not coming to meet Alexander and take the fourth stage of the law techniques is not convincing at all. There are dozens or even hundreds of Demon Kings. Would they not have been able to send one for a few hours? Frankly, I'm beginning to doubt that they are--"

*Baa* A small wind bullet hit the middle of Robin's forehead

"Ouch!! What the hell was that for?!" Robin rubbed his forehead

"Hmph! You don't even know how lucky you are! These savage creatures are not created to obey anyone, but if for some reason they decide to follow someone, they will follow them to the end, or at least until their interests collide. As long as you gain their loyalty, all you have to do is feed them and they will always be by your side~ Frankly, their presence with you is a cause for envy, you just don't realize the value of what you have in your hand yet!" Evergreen clasped her small hands

"Feed them? You're talking as if it's easy... In order to keep them by my side, I'll have to start massacre and massacre forever?!" Robin sighed and shook his head helplessly, but he seemed to notice something and suddenly shouted, "...Wait a minute, why are you talking with such confidence? Their race is not even from Greenland! What do you know about the demons?!"

"I will not say." Evergreen stuck out her tongue and then sent winds to dry off the rest of Robin's body, "Listen, my future owner, if the demons were not on your side, I would have advised you to exterminate them all and not leave a single one alive, but since you have earned their loyalty, my advice to you is to turn a blind eye! Why do you bother your head and theirs with matters of loyalty, defying orders, and those ridiculous routines? What's the problem if they want to take their orders from you alone? What's the problem if they start a few bloodbaths here and there in order to fill their hungry stomachs? They are not humans and you must understand that their mental abilities are different from yours, You have to treat them differently from the rest of your followers. Just treat them as a rib in your body. A rib is bent, right? If you try to put pressure on it, it will break, and if you try to make it straight, it will break. The best option is to leave it as it is and benefit from it as much as possible!"

Robin didn't take his eyes off Evergreen for about a full minute. When he was sure she wasn't going to say another word, he sighed and started to get dressed, "...There's some truth to what you say, I think."

"Of course, all my words are right, haha!" Evergreen put both hands to her waist and began to laugh loudly, "Does this mean that you will forget about them and come to complete the refinement? You are stuck at 68% right now."

Robin shook his head, "No, I still intend to go out. Refining from the beginning of 69% is getting TOO difficult and I have things I want to do outside first."

"This is normal because all of the remaining percentage is divided between the five Tree Fathers! If Descartes had not volunteered and given up his share in the refinement when he sensed that you were about to refine all the available percentages, you would now still be stuck in the 60%! It is normal for the remaining percentage to be more difficult since you literally need to push the others first in order to take their place!!" Evergreen started waving with both hands

"Then this is another reason why I should postpone until I return. Attacking the Tree Fathers' refinement percentage that they have toiled over for 200,000 years like this will definitely start a devastating war. I will make sure of the army's preparations first before taking this step." Robin smiled as he put on the last piece of his deep blue dress.

This time he let his long hair fall until it touched his shoulder and left his short beard as it was. His appearance at this moment was truly befitting an Emperor.

"Okay okay Mr. Handsome, no one can stop you from doing anything when you decide anyway, Hmph! Just don't be late!!" Evergreen folded her hands and looked to the side, clearly annoyed, but Robin merely smiled and patted her air avatar's head.

Then he inserted his spiritual sense into the voice ring, ("Alexander, I need to see you, where are you?")

("Your Excellency? It is good news that you are finally out. Please give me just 5 days. I will arrange my affairs here and come as quickly as possible.") The response came quickly.

("Five days? Why, where are you exactly?") Robin raised his eyebrows, Alexander is supposed to be a governor who sits at his desk here on the steep hill and only gives orders, His departure to another location means temporal paralysis in the rest of the Empire's affairs.

After two full minutes, the reply came, ("In response to Your Excellency, I am in Father Tree Labikan's lands, things are a bit bad here...")

("You are at Father Tree Labikan in the Far East? Why? What is happening in there?!") Robin stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, Even if there is a war Alexander is supposed to stay at the headquarters and send orders from afar, his time as a general is over!

After another ten minutes, the reply came, ("Your Excellency, I am sorry. Can I talk to you later? I have to fully focus on the battle. At night, I will organize the situation and come to the headquarters immediately.")

("That much?!") Robin's eyebrows sank, ("Okay, ignore the order to go back. You can stay where you are and focus on what you are doing. I will talk to Elizabeth.")

After a while, the reply came again, ("Sorry for not being there for you, Your Excellency. By the way, Elizabeth is also here with me.")

".....?!" Robin raised his eyebrows after hearing the last response and took out his soul sense from the ring.

Even Elizabeth, who was responsible for managing the colonies and controlling the internal situation, went to the front.

Clearly, the situation outside was much worse than he thought
