Lord of the Truth

Chapter 909: Panic



Ten minutes ago-- Planet Greenland-- New Port City

*Bzzzzt*

Old Gu and Charles Burton walked out of a massive space portal, right behind them came Samson and Volpe, and immediately they all started looking around with raised eyebrows, each watching something of their own...

*Bam* *Bam*

"Where is the earthly brown steal lumber I asked for?!"

"Coming!!"

"Hey, I want a hundred iron rods here!!"

*Neigh* *Neigh*

The sounds of builders shouting, the noise of horse-drawn carts and hammers pounding on nail heads, the glow of the Flame Path users bending iron for construction, and even a few girls using the Water Path to conjure up little clouds to fill barrels for construction purposes and drinking.

This was a gigantic construction site!

A closer look showed no buildings standing yet, only solid foundations being established as far as the eye could see, and behind them a massive mountain serving as the backbone of the city.

This city didn't resemble anything they had seen before, they saw muscular people

hammering huge nails in specific places under the buildings and on the mountain, and other people wearing loose uniforms drawing things on the ground, whatever they were doing was not part of building houses and shops!!

"...Well, again, I didn't expect this," Samson spoke in surprise, Volpe and even Old Man Gu nodded along with him.

But Charles didn't seem too surprised, "This city didn't exist a week ago, it's just that General Theo chose this place to build a space portal, and thus this place was destined to be one of the planet's core areas, so the Lady Emily ordered a city to be built here at the highest standard and named it the New Port City and allocated a large number of resources and manpower to it when it's finished it should be on the same level as the Imperial Capital in terms of defenses."

After receiving such a huge attack on the three planets, it was no longer reasonable to focus on strengthening the army alone. They learned the hard way that they had to protect the central places in the empire if they wanted to continue seriously in what they were doing.

So, Emily, after opening the imperial treasury under the steep hill, allocated a huge part of it to rehabilitate the old cities and strengthen them to some degree. Then she began coordinating to build a few cities that would be the cornerstone of the empire's dominance on its lands... And of course, the lands next to the space portal were the best choice after the destruction of the steep hill.

Even after speaking confidently, Charles couldn't stop looking around, filling his eyes with what was going on... He was constantly getting news from the Shadow Swords, but he hadn't been to Greenland since before the war started, "Come on, there's supposed to be a decent tent nearby that's ready to receive VIPs."

The three of them followed Charles, trying to find their way through what he could call the city's structure... The roads were wide and already had defined features, but they were also full of broken stones, wood, and metal from construction, so walking through them was a bit difficult.

But none of the four didn't care for it... Charles still didn't know how to get His Excellency's attention or how to confront him if he interrupted him while he was doing something important. Old Gu began to observe the Runes drawn on the ground by the Rune Masters, trying to figure out what they were and began to think of ways to stuff more defenses.

As for Volpe and Samson, they were in a world of their own, looking around like children. Greenland has a wonderful atmosphere, there are three suns in its green sky that provide a constant source of energy for the plants but at the same time do not affect the temperature of the planet, the law of life is present everywhere around them to the point that they both saw some flowers and buds sprouting in the wood prepared for construction!

As far as the eye could see, they could see something like a mountain blocking the view, but with some careful focus, they were able to make out that it was a tree, a huge tree whose top they could not see from its bottom!

The birds chirping around them, the meadows they could see as far as the eye could see, the little animals they could see playing among the lush green trees, everything about this place made Volpe mutter unconsciously, "...Is this heaven?!"

"...Man you know how much that statement annoys me, but this time I'll agree with you!" Samson couldn't believe what he was seeing either

*Gasp* Volpe took a deep breath, "The energy here is dense too..."

"Yeah, dense and gentle, I've never felt anything like it before." Samson took a deep breath as well, "But it's not like the planet we were on a while ago."

"Yes, the energy there is just a little bit more dens, and it's different..." Volpe tried to remember that feeling again, "I guess it's heavier and more aggressive? The energy here is much more comfortable."

"That's right, I can see it to!" Samson nodded seriouslyn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

.....

After a few seconds of silence, the two of them burst out laughing...

Hours ago, they were thinking of ways to avoid the Great Serpent Empire, but somehow now they were traveling between planets, assessing their energy advantages!!

"We've arrived." Charles pointed to a large tent in front of them

The tent was set up on the outskirts of the city, over a large grassy meadow, closed on all sides and surrounded by guards preventing anyone below the rank of Assistant General from

entering.

None of them had seen Charles before, but of course, when they saw General Gu they quickly made way for him, saluting him.

*Krrr* *Krrr*

As soon as the four of them entered, they found themselves good seats, then looked at Charles, waiting for what would come next.

"Huuu~" Charles sighed and closed his eyes for a moment "..."

Then he opened his eyes and reassured them, "Well I sent the meeting request to His Excellency and sent him the location, all we have to do now is wait, if we're lucky he'll be here in--"

*Shaaaa*

Before Charles could finish the sentence, the space split in front of him and Robin emerged, opening his eyes wide and shouting the moment he laid eyes on Charles, "What in the actual FUCK do you mean by signs of rebellion appearing on Sakaar?!"
