"Say that again..?" Robin tilted his head forward, it was clear from his tone that he did not look very happy
Alexander hesitated slightly, "…The Demon Kings refuse the summons to receive techniques of the fourth stage of the Laws."
*Crack*
Robin crushed his arm in his chair and without saying a word looked at Jabba with a questioning look, who in turn shrugged his shoulders to show that he knew nothing about the matter.
"Good... very good..." Robin nodded several tis in exasperation, then took out his writing kit and began writing sothing in his own handwriting, then sealed it with the imperial seal and handed it to Alexander, "Go yourself imdiately to the Central Continent and give this decree to the Demons, if they do not give you a convincing reason, or if Amon, Morren, or Sakaar didn't appear before within seven days... there is no need for them to co again!"
"I don't think this would be a good idea…" Jabba waved both hands quickly to try and calm his teacher down
"I am the one who put Alexander in command, and disobeying him is a direct challenge to my authority, No one is allowed to disobey , regardless of his identity... No one!" Robin raised his hand in Jabba's face, then looked at Alexander again, "What are you waiting for? start your trip right now."
Alexander took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed slightly, "I'll move right away," and began to move toward the door.
But after taking a few steps, he heard a voice coming from behind him that stopped him, "Oh, right, before you head off, I want you to gather 500 sages and 5,000 saints for and send them to the covered training hall as fast as possible."
Alexander turned with raised eyebrows but did not ask why. Rather, he bowed again to confirm that he had received the order, then continued on his way until he disappeared.
After Alexander left, Jabba looked at his ntor with so fear, "The Demons... may not take this well."
Robin leaned back on his chair, "There is no need to worry, I know the intensity of their loyalty to , and regardless of their feeling, don't forget that all the older Demon Kings swore allegiance to before they received the techniques that turned them from being herded like cattle into a force that should not be taken lightly, so even if they don't love and respect with all their hearts as they should be, I am at least confident in the strength of the oath at the mont... They just want to tell Alexander that they do not recognize him as their leader and that they only take their orders from , but how can I allow this? Do I have to manage everything myself forever? Will they force to lead field wars myself every ti? This is ridiculous and I should beat it out of them. Don't worry, they will definitely co when they see the Imperial Decree."
"But what if they consider the way you summoned them an insult? What if they defied you and did not co within seven days!?" Jabba stressed the question, although he did not know the current strength of the Demons, he knew what they were capable of, "Although I know about their oath of loyalty to you, more and more Demon Kings appear from ti to ti, with strong bloodline and high talent like their ancestors, and at the sa ti the soul of the older ones beco stronger every day, and you do not know how long the oath will be effective on them! ...I'm just saying that it's better to follow the softer thod."
"...There is no need, I ant what I said earlier, I will not allow disobedience under again. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within seven days, then we will withdraw from Greenland and head toward the Central Continent imdiately." Robin declared in a cold tone filled with killing intent
"....." Jabba was about to say sothing else but fell silent when he saw the stern look on his teacher's face, so he quickly changed the subject, "So.. 500 Sages and 5,000 Saints, huh?"
"....." Robin seed to rember sothing as well after Jabba's words, so he began writing sothing as well for a few minutes, then handed the scroll to Jabba, "Bring these resources and go ahead of towards the covered training hall, and bring a few Rune Masters as well. There is no stipulation of a specific number, but bring the best among those available."
"Hmm... red marigold palm sap, blue sea sand, cloud tree sawdust, the blood of a sage level beast of the rhino type, etc., etc.~ Each of these resources is used as inks for drawing engravings. Why did you bring so many types of them? And why didn't you ask for tals or beast hide to draw on? Why are these large quantities?"
"...."
When Jabba found that what he was t with was his master's cold gaze, he coughed twice and then moved with quick steps towards the door, "I will gather them imdiately!"
-------------------------
Two hours later-- Above the steep hill
*Step... Step...*
"Hey Patrick, wait! Have you been summoned to the Covered Training Hall by Governor Alexander as well?"
A young man who appeared to be in his late twenties looked behind him and found another running towards him at a slow pace, "Jimmy, you were also summoned? This is strange, I thought I made a mistake while on guard duty tonight! Phew~ This is relaxing..."
"No, no, we are not one of those who were summoned. I heard that most of the saints and sages in the colony located at the bottom of the steep hill were also ordered to co. I wonder what will happen to us..." The young man called Jimmy followed his friend and began to walk beside him.
"I' don't feel so good about this."
"You're thinking too much, haha," Jimmy laughed out loud and patted his colleague on the shoulder
But the young man nad Patrick shook his head, "But why were we summoned? The Steep Hill Colony contains a large number of sages and saints because we are supposed to protect the headquarters and the space gate, why were we asked to leave our guard posts and gather in a place like the covered training hall? Don't you think it's strange?"
"Haha, relax, man. What I think is that you are overthinking! What do you think might happen to us in the worst-case scenario? All those who received the summoning order are Sages and Saints as I told you. Maybe they might send us on a secret mission behind enemy lines, Isn't that wonderful? I can't imagine the amount of points I would collect from a mission like this, Aahh~ I can buy a few more acres with these points!!"
The young man nad Patrick looked next to him, "Aren't the hundred acres and five shops that your huge family runs enough for you? I still can't believe you used nearly a quarter of your points to buy power stones to bring your entire mortal family here, it was a few hundred of them if I rember correctly. Do you want to start your own village or sothing? Leave sothing for the rest of us, damn!"
"Hahaha, If you are jealous then do the sa as , you are not poor! all my life I looked at my mortal family, who lived to herd sheep and tend to the Frost family stores, as a burden, I thought that I cursed the fact that was born among them. Now look at , I only care about amassing wealth and my family is running it happily for . If I could go back in ti, I wouldn't have chosen a better family Hahaha."
Then Jimmy pointed forward, "Oh, this is the covered training hall, the mont of truth has arrived, my friend..."
The two took a deep breath and looked at each other for a mont, then their steps quickened until they entered the hall door
"Hmm?" As soon as the two young n entered, they found the appearance of thousands of soldiers standing at attention. After they took a few steps forward and saw the serious faces of those soldiers, their sweaty foreheads, and the tight veins of their bodies, they wondered, "Hey, what's going on here? Why are you standing like that?"
The soldier whom Patrick asked did not move, did not even look next to him or open his mouth, but rely moved his eyes in a certain direction as if he was telling Patrick to look in that direction.
"Huh? What could be in that direction that would make you stand like that? Even if Governor Alexander himself were here you wouldn't be acting like this--"
*PAA* *PAA*
Before Jimmy could complete his sentence, his eyes went in that direction and he saw sothing that made him and his friend turn to attention in a split second, their forehead quickly began to sweat, too.
They saw Emperor Robin personally sitting on the ground in a ditating position.
