Chapter 589 Disobedience
Jabba shook his head, "As I mentioned a moment ago, the five regions of Nihari are bordered by mountain ranges, lands of absolute death, and wide oceans. Crossing one region to reach another is not impossible, but it is not easy at all, merchants and farmers are absolutely unable to do it for example. Only cultivators with high levels of strength can try their luck, but how do the rest of the regions allow the entry of high-level cultivators so easily? Who in the first place would cross all these dangers unless he is fleeing from heinous acts or intending harm? That is why these refugees are dealt with firmly, and there are agencies specialized in hunting down any survivors! For this reason, when the eastern region was unified for the first time, the rest of the regions did not know what was happening, and this was more severe in the northern region, as they viewed the giants from the rest of the regions as second-class citizens, and they rely on bringing news from those regions and sending orders on certain capable agencies who send their envoys to those regions from time to time to bring news since they do not have a means of long-distance communication..."
Then Jabba shrugged his shoulders, "The strange thing is that those agencies did not say anything about the incident in the other four regions. There is complete silence hanging over the northern region as if they are completely isolated from the world, although I am not sure what is going on there, if one of those messengers opened his mouth, then at least one of the twelve northern tribes would move to arrest that Third Heaven's Chosen or at least stop the madness that is taking over the planet!!"
"Are you saying that the Northerners currently live in peace, isolated from the rest of the planet?" Alexander furrowed his eyebrows slightly
"This is what it looks like. Although I do not have a way to bring news from the northern region, everything can be deduced from the state of the rest of the regions as the state of war that includes most of the planet can never be ignored like that! For example, if the northern region knew what was going on in the other regions they would have intervened, and if what was happening in other regions was happening to them too, their borders would have been opened and we would have been able to bring some news from there. That strange silence coming from the northern region suggests that for some reason they live in complete isolation..." Jabba replied briefly, then looked at Robin, "The question now is not whether they live in peace or not, the question is how information like this was withheld from them, as I know for a fact that even shadow swords will not be able to do that..."
As for Robin, he let out a laugh, "It seems that your source of information failed you when it came to the northern region, but this is normal since no one within the Nihari Union Sect knows anything, and most likely you get your information from there... Take this information as a gift to you then, the same techniques that were distributed to the settlements of the lower races in The four regions were also distributed to the settlements of lower races of the northern region, the only difference is that they were told to keep the matter a secret and continue cultivating in secret until the zero hour came."
"Zero hour!?" Jabba felt his heart tighten, "May I ask what this Zero Hour refers to and when it is?"
"Haha, you should get a better source of information and ask him." Robin laughed out loud, then looked back into Jabba's eyes, "Boy, do you want to save Planet Nihari from the incoming invasion?"
"Naturally!!" Jabba sat on the edge of his chair
Robin clapped with a pure smile, "Then don't worry about the little things and focus on creating your own body cultivation system, Deal?"
"...Yes."
Robin nodded at Jabba once and then turned his gaze to Alexander, "It's been three years since the colonizing plan began, Is everything going well?"
"Of course, Your Excellency, ten colonies in total have been set up, one of them at the foot of Tree Father Hoffenheim and another one next to Tree Father Descartes' body, and the rest are distributed in strategic areas within your territory." Alexander explained seriously, "There are more than half a million people who refused to move their families and settle here, so they were sent back to Planet Jura and given decent housing in the Imperial Capital as Your Excellency ordered. This means that our current forces have reached approximately 2.5 million soldiers, but with their families with them and There are already a large number of children who have come, and in accordance with the policy of minimizing casualties ordered by Your Excellency, the number of soldiers will only increase starting from today and will not decrease."
Robin nodded several times, "What about our locals? Have they been integrated into our system yet or are they still clinging to their old way of life? Has Billy had trouble controlling them?"
"No, you Exllency, everything is fine til this moment, They have already been handed over everything that we are allowed to hand over. We have reports that the number of law users among them has multiplied several times compared to three years ago, meaning that their overall strength has become much stronger and thus they compensated for the departure of a large part of our main army, and each tribe has at least 40 million people, so in the next ten years we will see a huge increase in the number of potential law-user soldiers."
Robin nodded again, "That's reassuring, having them by our side and strengthening them will save us a lot of trouble... Oh, right, what are the death tally among our ranks during the past three years?"
Here a furrow appeared between Alexander's eyebrows, "Here lies the problem...The alliance of the Tree Fathers and the local humans have not made their move yet, and only a few skirmishes have taken place on the border that do not amount to your Excellency being informed of their details, this worries the rest of the generals because their extensive preparation means that the scale of the war may be greater than we imagined, but no matter how I look, I see time is on our side!"
"Hmm? They haven't attacked yet? How strange... I can't believe they would wait until we start moving again. This is foolish and the Tree Fathers are no fools. Maybe they are waiting to prepare something specific?" Robin raised his eyebrows, "...Alexander, the moment internal affairs are completely settled, send Caesar and a decent army to attack Father Tree Labican's lands."
"Yes." Alexander nodded seriously
Robin leaned back completely on his chair and began to rub between his eyebrows as if thinking about what he should do now, "...Has anyone else broken through to the Emperor level yet? And who has received level 4 techniques in the first place?"
"It has been decided that the fourth stage of the laws will be placed exclusively on a point system and a huge number of points will be placed on it, so that no one can obtain the fourth stage of any law without performing heroic services for the benefit of the Empire first, and all the books of the original fourth stage of the laws have been handed over to for Miss Zara in the treasury to make a copy of them for whoever wants." Alexander quickly responded, "Until this moment, 378 people have burned most of their points to purchase the fourth stage of one of the laws, but no case of a breakthrough has been reported except for me and Brother Jabba."
"Hmm, good idea. It's okay. This book contains the fourth level of the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning. Hand it to Zara as well." Robin took out a thick book from his ring with a slight movement and handed it to Alexander
"Excellent, the Empire's power has increased again!!" Alexander held the book as if it were a priceless treasure, then stood up and bowed, "I thank Your Excellency on behalf of all the Lightning Users of the True Beginning Empire."
"This is what I promised," Robin nodded, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask, have copies of technique books been sent to the Demons? They don't follow that point system as you know."
"Actually..." Alexander hesitated for a moment and slowly sat down
"What?!" Robin furrowed his eyebrows
"Sigh~ The books are too valuable to be given to any ordinary demon, and since all the Demon Kings are hidden on another planet, we sent messengers to invite one of the Demon Kings to come and take copies of the books, but..." Alexander sighed and continued, "The Demon Kings have all refused to heed the call."
