Lord of the Truth

Chapter 914: Second army



"A decree to create a second army? Sakar will be parallel to Caesar?!" Theo's shout made both Old Gu and Charles open their eyes wide.

There are currently a large number of generals in the True Beginning Empire, each of whom can lead a part of the army and act independently. For example, on Planet Jura, the main army was divided between Alexander, Victoria, Raiden, Billy, Elizabeth, etc.-

But in the end, they act in one direction and in a specific direction. A General's role is to lead the army division in his possession to achieve the goals ordered by the supreme general of the army, namely Caesar.

The idea can be simplified further by saying that it is one army under one command, Caesar, and the rest of the generals are assistants who facilitate the implementation of his orders.

But the decree that was just sealed gives Sakaar the right to form a second parallel army so that he is the supreme general over it!

"No! This absolutely should not happen!!" Old Man Gu felt an immediate panic attack.

But after he received a stare from Robin, he shot his mouth again.

"Doesn't this mean that Supreme General Caesar will lose any authority to lead the demons?!" Charles asked quickly, trying to keep himself calm.

"But when did Caesar actually lead the demons?" Robin opened his arms when faced with the question, "Since the first day the demon brought Jura they were excluded from any army, Caesar has never led them into battle. This is not because he doesn't want to or doesn't recognize them as my followers, but because the human army refuses to be in the same place as the demon army, and even though our army has expanded to include the people of Jura, Greenland, alongside the intelligent races of Nihari and The Orphan Blood, they have all agreed not to welcome the Demons."

"Does anyone remember the last time humans and demons fought side by side in the same battlefield?" He then passed his eyes over Old Man Gu and Theo, "In the Jura Conquest War, I didn't have a human army yet, the demons did all the work. During my control and reformation of the planet Jura, all the demons were directed to the central continent and monitored closely by you guys. In the Greenland War, the demons were sent to the Orphan Blood Planet. And since the Nihari War began, they have been sent to the Western Region to hold it on their own."

"The only times the martial emperors of the two armies have met during a battle has been because I personally intervened and brought them together, as happened recently in the Battle of Safe City, after which the two armies immediately separated again." Robin raised a finger and then lowered it, "Am I right or have I overlooked something, gentlemen?"

Robin was trying to show them that his decision wouldn't affect the First True Beginning Empire's army led by Caesar, but he implicitly felt a little regretful as he frowned... He had always been afraid of the demons' nature and treated them like dogs, the fact that they still wanted to fight for him was a miracle in itself.

"..." No one responded to Robin's words, the demon army was always used as a trump card or an additional weapon to be brought out when needed, it was never recognized as part of the empire's army, even in this conversation it was still referred to as the demon army!

"I know what you're afraid of, I myself was afraid of the same thing so I was trying to suppress them and give them minor roles all the time, but they still grew stronger every day, if we take the warlords out of the equation, the demon army is currently much stronger than the human army." Robin rubbed his eyes with two fingers, "Marginalizing them further will result in people like Sakaar, Amon, and others trying to prove themselves over and over again. All I will do is leave the stage for them to prove themselves the right way."

"Other than that, what else do I have? Try to suppress them further? For how long? Their power is growing every day... Or maybe try to exterminate them? With what power and reason would I resort to such action?!" Robin shook his head, "This is a risk, I realize that, but a risk that everyone must help me with whether they like it or not, are my words clear?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"..." The three nodded silently.

"Good!" Robin patted his knee, then took out another scroll to write something else and passed it to Charles, "Inform Sakaar about the decree, and give him this, it contains a few simple rules that he must abide by in the event that the First and Second Armies are on the same battlefield."

"Yes." Charles received the scroll with both hands and quietly withdrew from the tent to complete his mission.

"And you, would you PLEASE hurry and return to your natural role?" After Charles left, Robin raised one eyebrow at Theo.

Theo's presence at the head of the Shadow Swords had always made it easier for him to manage the empire, Theo's natural familiarity with darkness and his status as Robin's adopted son, in addition to his rich successful history in his position gained him a weight and awe wherever he appeared, perhaps if he had been in Charles' place in Nihari all this would not have happened.

"Here or there, all our work is for you, Father." Theo laughed, "The last war made the people of Greenland forget your kindness in removing the gloom of the Tree Fathers, and not only that, but many hated us because you gained them such a powerful enemy that is worse than the Tree Fathers, so we are trying hard to cut these grudges early before they take root, keeping what already got it as important as gaining a new, don't you think so, Father? Anyway, no need to worry, after the decisive decisions of the Headquarters Lady Emily I don't think it will be long before I return to my position."

"So what are you doing here? Go quickly and improve my image in front of the people!" Robin waved several times jokingly

"Hehe." With a light laugh, Theo also disappeared from the tent.

"Heh~ His Highness Prince Theo is always diligent and never spares any effort. Ah, unfortunately, good times pass quickly." Old Gu laughed with some embarrassment then

stood up, bowed slightly, and took two steps back towards the tent door, "I will also excuse myself to leave Your Highness to your soul research, goodbye."

"Hold your steps."
