Chapter 709 Offer


    Robin waved again and the surveince array was set up again, then he closed his eyes and with some concentration, an image appeared in front of them... It was a battle.


    This battle takes ce around the walls of a small city, where the attackers are a mixture of Humans, Astrals, Dwarves, and other lower races. Their numbers number is at least ten thousand, all of them wearing a golden piece of armor or holding golden weapons. The presence of lower beings in such huge numbers and this interconnectedness astonishes Hk who saw them in this form for the first time, but he smiled, it seemed as if he was happy for them...


    As for the defending party, their color is pale and they look like a mixture of snakes and humans, some of them are toorge like the Nihari Giants and some are as short as a dwarf, They wear silver armor and carry powerful weapons too. Their numbers do not exceed two hundred, and there is a huge metal snake roaming over the city, helping them defend with artillery shots from time to time.


    The huge difference in numbers between the two sides waspensated by the huge metal snake, and nine people intervening at the right time to kill thergest possible number of attackers. If it were not for these two variables, the battle would have ended immediately.


    Hk furrowed his eyebrows slightly, This was the first time he had seen such a race, "What''s going on here? Are these the ones you mean?" n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Robin nodded, "These are soldiers from aary Empire called the Great Serpent Empire. They arrived on the Nihari about 8 months ago and since then they have been in battles in the central region. In the beginning, they shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of living people and destroyed dozens of cities, If you don''t believe me, You can ask the''s spiritter. Stopping them was a bit difficult depending on the locals alone, but with a little help from my Shadow Swords Legion, they were stuffed in that city and their numbers reduced to such a degree that they no longer posed a threat, in the end, they are not the main danger, they are just vanguards of what is toe~"


    Hk stood up and approached the array closer and just stared at it for a while. During the minute or two that he continued to fight, dozens of the army of lower beings died, "...One Warlord of the ones you showed me could wipe them all out, why did you leave them for 8 months?"


    "Why would I do something stupid like that?" Robinughed and shook his head, "First of all, their presence in that ce makes it certain that when supportes, it will descend into the central region as well to rescue them and will not go to any other region. For the invaders to remain trapped in the middle is the best oue I can hope for, in fact, if the vanguards did notnd in the central area, I was going to force them to go there. Secondly, when we tried to arrest a bunch of them for interrogation, they would die before the interrogation even started, but the Shadow Swords were able to decipher theirnguage after a while of observing their conversation inside the city and understood a few things about their background and the size of the army we can expect."


    Then he pointed to the scene in front of him, "Then we move on to other, more visible benefits. For example, the central region is now at the highest levels of alert and cohesion due to its confrontation with an external enemy. There is no longer any difference between a giant and a human, all of them working together at the highest level of coordination. The Eastern Region is closely monitoring the situation and is preparing to unify the entire region, establish more arrays and forts, and recruit huge numbers of soldiers. The southern region is currently in the midst of rehabilitation, and reportse to them daily about the strength of the enemy and their steadfastness all this time in the northern region, which makes them work harder, and the western region is-- well, let''s not talk about it."


    Robin waved and then motioned for Hk to return to his seat. "As for the northern region, you can see the chaos for yourself. If I told them that there was a strong invasioning to annihte all aspects of life, they would think I was lying and devastating chaos would arise, so leaving the vanguards until the timees to inform them and let their leaders see them with their own eyes will be useful for resuming the talks, as is happening now."


    "Nice, I can''t believe you used your enemy''s vanguards to your advantage to such a degree, I thought the Heaven''s Chosen were fools when it came to war... Not bad." Hk returned to his seat with a meaningful smile, "And you are not bad yourself, ording to what I saw of those space vortexes, warlords, weapons, and other things... you also have one of thoseary Empires, don''t you?"


    "...MY enemy?" Robin left everything and focused on this word


    "Haha, yes, your enemy! You make things very easy, little brother. It is clear that there is enmity between you and those invaders. Otherwise, you would have returned to your homnd and just forgotten about this ce. Didn''t you say that something happened to your wife and son here? -Sorry, I forgot what happened to them exactly it didn''t matter to me- why would you prepare for war against them when you hate this ce? There is definitely something that motivates you to fight." Hkughed loudly


    Not long ago, he spent most of his time experimenting with techniques in the library or trying to refine the''s spirit inplete boredom, but suddenly he learned of the existence of a Third Heaven''s Chosen Oneing from another world, and now he learned of the arrival of other invaders from an entity called theary Empire... This made him burn with enthusiasm!!


    "...You are right, but they are your enemies too." Robin nodded twice, "Now let''s focus on the important matter here, Do you think that an Empire that specializes inary conquest doesn''t know about spirit and eternal life?"


    Hk''sugh stopped midway, "...What do you want to say?"


    "I say that the spirit made you leave at this particr time, not only for my sake but for the sake of those invaders. She knows that they will notice if a battle takes ce between us or that the speed of the''s refinement suddenly increases, and they will try to intervene... She wants a three-way battle for her possession." Robin sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Sorry, buddy, but your peaceful life is over. Even if I give you the technique and you go back to cultivate it and refine the''s spirit in peace, you will find those invaders over your head sooner orter."


    "Argh, that little bitch!!" Hk raised his eyebrows and palmed his hand, thenughed again, He had to admit it was a good move, then looked at Robin, "So, what do you suggest?"


    "..." He had just told him that he was being manipted by the''s spirit and that he would go to war against two great entities and his only reaction was tough excitedly, "...Swear allegiance to me and help me in the war, then I will give you all the soul techniques you want, I will give you what remains of the to manage as you wish, and I will also appoint you as one of my supreme generals and give you the freedom to move between thes subject to me, and of course, you will have Nihari''s spirit."


    "Hmm, that''s convincing and motivating at the same time, but..." Hk waved a few times, smiling, "Forget it, I don''t work under anyone."


    "But you are involved in this war whether you like it or not." Robin furrowed his eyebrows, "If you choose to enter the fight as a third party, you will be defeated no matter what you do. If you leave now and return to your shithole, I or the other empire will find you in the end and you will be forced to fight alone, and your fate will be death or submission. Your only chance is to ally with me to get through this ordeal."


    "I know, my dear, I know," Hk opened his arms,ughing, "But an alliance with you is one thing, and an oath of loyalty to you is another, suggest something rted to war, and I am all ears."


    "...Then unite the northern region under your banner. The giants revere you and will obey easily, and I will take care of the rest of the intelligent races in the North and make them follow you as well. All you have to do is make the Northern Region a fortress against the invaders, so do not allow them to enter it, and at the same timeunch attacks on them in The central region, if you can. With the strength of the well-known northern region, in addition to your presence and the beasts of the Mountain Range that you can mobilize, I believe that the mission will not be too difficult for you..." Robin did not waste a moment and quickly continued his words, "In return for your efforts, and if you seed in your mission, then at the end of the war I will give you a Soul Strengthening Technique that is dozens of times faster than the one you are currently using."
