Planet Nihari - After a Day and a Night
*Swoosh*
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
"What, have you found your guts now? Go back to running like the dogs you are!"
*Baaam*
"I will die here before taking another step, But be damn sure that I'll drag you with me!!"
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
"Dammit!" Watching from afar, Robin followed the battle with furrowed brows, then looked to the north...
Not too far from where he stood, he saw with his own eyes a huge army standing in close ranks, he saw giant beasts of various kinds ready for battle, and most importantly, he saw Hulak sitting on a throne watching the battle, the tips of his toes almost touching the central region, but he kept them within the northern borders.
And of course, he wasn't the only one who saw them...When the 90 escaping Emperors from the Great Serpent's side saw what awaited them ahead, they decided to stand and attack their pursuers, refusing to advance a single step.
Why should they advance any further? There was no escape anymore if they advanced they would be surrounded from the front and the rear, it was best to stay where they were and battle their pursuers until reinforcements arrived, and even if they didn't receive any reinforcements, killing a few of those scum who had been chasing them for a whole week was enough for them!
Behind them were 200 True Beginning Martial Emperors tasked with pushing them forward, but with the helpless Great Serpent Emperors halting and fighting suicidally, a massive battle broke out.
*Boom* *Boom*
Of course, the 400 Great Serpent Martial Emperors atop the Heaven Sealing Grand Array didn't just stop and watch, taking advantage of the fact that the chase had stopped, they began to focus their attacks on one point, some of them coming by sacrificing a few drops of the blood of Durger the Devourer and sending purple clouds onto the array from above, it wouldn't be long before they made a gap at this spot and descend to join the battle!
Faced with this dilemma, Robin ordered the rest of the Martial Emperors who were resting in the central area to be summoned, and indeed, the 300 Emperors immediately arrived.
500 vs 90... Robin did it to provoke the Great Serpent Emperors to flee again, he even opened up different directions for them to flee, not just towards the northern army, what was important to him was to move from this point quickly before the 400 Martial Emperors descended from above, or the 1,000 Martial Emperors and the three marshals caught up with them from behind!
But it seemed as if their minds were absent from the continuous terror for six days, they completely surrendered to the fact that they would die in that battle and continued fighting no matter what!
"Just kill them!" Robin clinched both his fists, then sent Flora and the rest of the Martial Emperors participating in the chase
"Understood!"
*Boom* *Boom*
Their hands suddenly became heavy, the push-back strategy ended and their attacks turned into instant kills.
The numerical difference, plus the fact that those 90 Martial Emperors were already injured and in a continuous chase for 6 days, turned this *battle* into a bullying game.
"Launch!!!" While everyone was busy in their life and death battle, a voice was heard coming from behind, supported by a rumble in the sky.
*BZZTTTT*
The warships arrived.
When they saw the battle and what was happening, the ship commanders ordered all the cannons to be opened immediately, both the side and the main ones, and fired everything at the same time!
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM
"Damn, don't you have me in mind?!" Alexander shouted from behind, then he and a number of Shadow Sword Emperors with him began to launch their strongest attacks towards the ships from behind, quickly destroying a number of them
But the damage had already been done, the first wave of the attack had destroyed the battle order of the Martial Emperors and seriously injured a large number of warriors on both sides.
*Swoosh* *Swoosh* *Swoosh*
Surrounded by the battle of the Martial Emperors in front and Alexander and his followers in the back, the ship commanders issued orders to quickly open the doors, and the soldiers came out like locusts!
*Baam* *Baam*
"Shoot them!!"
Nearly 700,000 soldiers covered the ground and pointed their weapons upwards, targeting the Martial Emperors of the True Beginning Empire!
The remaining warships also took advantage of the distraction of everyone's attention and spread out in all directions using their high speed, some returned to attack, and some disappeared into the horizon!
Faced with the rapid development of events, Robin sat in his place and watched... Now that Alexander had arrived, he would take care of managing the battle, although what would happen next was easy to predict anyway.
"Greenland Emperors, chase the warships, don't let them escape, Orphan Blood Forces, crush those ants below!" Alexander already started shouting at the top of his lungs, "Jura's men, follow me to end the misery of those fugitives, if they don't want to keep running then there's no point in keeping them alive any longer!"
*As expected...* Robin sighed, what was supposed to be a chase turned into three battlefields.
And none of them were easy!
The warships are very fast and equipped to deal with different situations, when they got their freedom and started the engines as they pleased, the Greenland Martial Emperors no longer had a way to reach them, instead the warships started to rain down cannonballs on them!
As for the round battle between the Orphan Blood Emperors and the Great Serpent's Law Users, it wasn't a walk in the park for them either. Even if a single Emperor could face off thousands of Saints and hundreds of Sages, this was still a fight of 40 against 700,000!! Without exaggeration, they spent most of their time escaping...
As for the Emperors' battle, it was actually the easiest of them all, yet the Great Serpent Emperors were fighting with a strange determination in life and intense hatred in their hearts. They wouldn't be annihilated anytime soon.
*Shhhhhh*
Robin looked up as he heard a powerful melting sound... The Great Heaven Sealing Array had a
Hole in it.
Robin's eyebrows sunk even more after seeing the hole in the Heaven Sealing Array.
Although the hole was still too small to allow a mouse to pass through, this was a clear sign that the array was about to collapse... This shouldn't be happening now!
Robin quickly raised his hand and sent an order to the array.
*Clatter*
The array that was spread over a very wide area to prevent the 400 Martial Emperors from trying to descend from the sides, quickly began to shrink and become thicker. In the blink of
An eye, the gap was closed!
"I can see the outline of this damned cover!"
"Come with me!!"
But of course, this move came at a price... The area covered by the array had become very
Short. The Martial Emperors could now easily bypass it and get to the battlefield in 5 minutes. Even if they stayed put and continued attacking at the same pace, they would still be able to
Break through in a few minutes!
But Robin didn't care... 5 minutes was enough time to find a solution.
Robin looked south, his pupils flashing golden and narrowing and widening, the scene before
Him quickly changed until he saw hundreds of Martial Emperors flying around him at high speed, led by 3 strong individuals.
"They'll arrive in ten minutes at most..." Robin sighed and nullified his close-up eye
He returned to look directly into Holak's eyes without saying a word...
His total forces now were 500 Martial Emperors from the Orphan Blood, Nihari, and Jura, in
Addition to the 300 Demons he had tasked with clearing the central region... That's 800
Martial Emperors in total.
In ten minutes at most, he would have to face over 1,500 Martial Emperors from the Great Serpent Empire, in addition to the warships and 700,000 law-using soldiers!
If Holak advanced now, he would barely level the playing field. He had an army of hundreds of thousands of nihari giants and beasts, and he had 600 Martial Emperors who hadn't tasted the war yet... but he was still sitting there watching!!
"Brother Robin, I know I'm very handsome, but how long do you plan to stare at me? It'll only add to my arrogance!" Holak laughed and muttered in a low voice, but he knew for sure that Robin could hear him from this distance.
"...I'm honestly amazed, every time I tell myself that I've seen the limits of your impudence
And exploitation, you prove me wrong!" Robin raised his eyebrows and whispered as well, "The battle is literally taking place right under your nose, what's keeping your majesty on your throne?"
"Deal, deal, my friend, the man has to stick to his word, bring them to the north and I'll help
You, if you want more out of me then pay more, nothing is free here." Holak laughed, "I'll lower my offer a little since you've come all this way, I just want a promise from you to leave and how to make space portals, what do you think?"
Robin stared at Holak in shock, "Are you still daydreaming about taking over Nihari and even
Going to other planets? There's an army of aliens seeking to take over your homeland here!"
"And you came to us to sell milk? What's the difference between you and them? Do you want my help to kill them and then sit on my lap forever? No thanks." Holak raised one eyebrow, "I have no personal problem with you, buddy, I still prefer to be neutral with you, but I have to prepare for the future too, don't you think?"
A half smile appeared on Robin's face and he shook his head, "I think you're giving yourself
Too much credit honestly, you think you're a third party but you're just another chess piece... My battle against the Great Serpent Empire will continue with or without your help, it's just that the number of casualties will increase without your intervention now." "Haha then, with all pleasure, please show me how you'll get yourself out of this predicament without me, Holak the chess piece!" Holak laughed indignantly and clapped loudly, attracting the attention of the giants and beasts beside him, "You're already suffering now! In five minutes the reinforcements will arrive, 400 Martial Emperors will be enough to crush your forces, and then 10 minutes later, another thousand will arrive! What will you do, poor
Thing, without me? Not only will the number of casualties on your side increase, they will be wiped out!"
"...." Robin stared into Holak's eyes for a few seconds, then nodded and turned back to watch
The battle, "Your explanation of the situation is correct, but you made a mistake in one
Thing."
"Oh? And what is it that I made a mistake in, Your Excellency?" Holak laughed.
At this moment, Holak caught a glimpse of a smile on Robin's face from the side, "When I mentioned the increase in casualties, I didn't mean my army. I was hesitant to implement this plan, but you gave me a good reason, so I will gladly implement it."
Holak raised his eyebrows and leaned forward slightly, "Are you delirious, buddy? There is no
Escape for you today. It is impossible for you to save your army unless..." Holak slowly stood up, raising his eyebrows, "Hey, don't say you are thinking of escaping!" "Haha, so what if I am? When the backup comes and they find me gone and then they see you
Standing in front of them with a full army, what do you think will happen?" Robin laughed
Out loud Holak opened his eyes wide, "You crazy bastard!! Are you going to throw all your plans away just to win a ridiculous stubbornness with me? Who said I would fight if you abandoned me? I will surrender immediately and announce my joining them! To me, you and them are the
Same."
"Good idea, but there are two problems with it... First, why do you think they are interested in
Allying with you and putting up with your ridiculous mind games? Have you forgotten what they did to the Central Region? Second..." Robin smiled and glanced at Hulak, "Have you forgotten that you are bound by a soul oath punishable by death that you will protect the North against them?"
Holak began to sweat profusely, "Stop your madness! Those ninety Martial Emperors, dozens
Of warships, and hundreds of thousands of Law-User soldiers won't die anytime soon and will keep your army tied down until reinforcements arrive. If you give the order to retreat under these circumstances, at least half of your Martial Emperors will be killed. Are you going to sacrifice your forces and the entire war just to prove your arrogant point against me?" "...Even at this point, I haven't heard you apologize, you're still trying to negotiate and do
What you want, you really are hopeless, trying to take you as an ally was a mistake, you're someone who should be killed or broken, there's no third option." Robin shook his head and then spoke seriously into Holak's eyes, "You, you rascal, have always underestimated me, you know with all your heart that you can win against me if a battle breaks out, so you don't
Respect me and keep provoking me at every step... This would be a good opportunity to reconsider your calculations."
Robin didn't add another word or listen to Holak's shouting.
*Rumble*
In front of Holak and his army, Robin slowly rose into the sky and raised his hands equal to his
Shoulders, a dense, almost tangible soul force began to shake the space fabric.
Then Robin's voice was heard muttering with a smile, "Hoffy, it's time for you to see the light
Again."
