Chapter 913: Fear
"Hehe, what do you think?" Robin laughed, pointing to the map, "Even if you all stayed inside the headquarters for months trying to come up with a master battle plan it wouldn\'t necessarily be any better than this."
In fact, Robin wasn\'t angry when he heard that Sakaar decided to extend control over the central, southern, and western regions. On the contrary, he was happy, and almost punished Charles, but Charles then continued and told him that he intended to take over the eastern region as well, which made him hesitate a little and stay silent.
When Robin left Nihari, the remaining Demon Emperors were less than 300. If he had given them the task of protecting the central region, it would have been a fantasy, and perhaps it would have even led to some kind of internal rebellion.
So he contented himself with giving them the task of protecting the wormhole and gave them the five warlords, hoping that the decision would come from them and that they would die defending the central region... Of course, if they failed to understand what he wanted, he wouldn\'t have blamed them either, after all, they were just Demons.
But Sakaar understood... He focused on strengthening the army and raising as many Demons as possible to the Emperor\'s Realm to accomplish the mission required of him, and he even came up with a decisive plan that deterred two fleets and destroyed the third!
Even if this was a coincidence and he was just a stupid, bloodthirsty Demon like the rest of them, the plan they see now is pure military genius!
"This... This is bad, Your Excellency, really really bad!!" Old Man Gu who was defending the demons a moment ago suddenly looked agitated, "How can you laugh when you see this? Don\'t you feel threatened?!"
Up until this moment, Old Man Gu had been defending Sakaar as a powerful weapon in the hands of the empire, a strong individual who could face the marshals head-on, especially after seeing his fight against the fleet, he could comfortably say that he had a battle power comparable to the likes of Caesar and Richard.
But that was no longer the case now, he couldn\'t treat Sakar as just a powerful demon who wanted to eat, reproduce and fight, this military plan had shown unparalleled genius... That demon had reached an intelligence level that surpassed the average human!!
If such brute force, such immense authority, and such sharp intelligence were combined in one person...
Old Man Gu quickly stood up, "Your Excellency, I now agree with His Highness Prince Theo, my eyes were not open before, Sakaar must be subdued as soon as possible, no, he must be destroyed!!"
"Hahaha, to become so good that your own allies fear you, this Sakaar really can\'t keep quiet." Robin lifted his head with laughter and started clapping
"Your Excellency, please take this seriously, it concerns the longevity of the Empire, our lives!!" Old Gu spoke in terror
"Father, what are you planning to do? Give an order, any order, and it will be carried out." A faint killing intent began to leak from Theo
Both of them noticed the rising danger represented by Sakaar, and even the capabilities of the demons as a whole, now even Charles began to examine the map and comprehend what they were talking about, sweat dripped from his forehead like a waterfall but he preferred to remain silent!
"You both think too much," laughing, Robin rested his chin on his hand again, "Does anyone know why I founded the empire?"
"This..." Old Gu and Charles didn\'t know the answer.
As for Theo, he had heard this answer from his mouth before, "Because you want a powerful system that works on its own to provide you with security and resources and make your way easier while you are busy with your research."
"Right!" Robin pointed at his son, "So when someone comes out to me who wants to act on his own to protect my interests, I have to get rid of him? Don\'t you think that\'s illogical?"
"But Your Excellency, the demons are--!!" Old Gu quickly intervened.Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
But Robin raised his hand to stop him, "The demons have always been loyal to me, no reason to doubt them now. My problem with Sakaar was that he refused to obey orders and wanted to make his own decisions, if he was just impulsive and bloodthirsty like the rest of the demons that would have been a disaster! But..." Robin pointed to the map, "It\'s clear that he has enough qualifications to make me trust his decisions, and this isn\'t the first time, during the Orphan Blood War Sakaar managed to keep the demons safe and slowly increase their power even though the Orphan Blood locals were using the sacrifice against him if we had left them alone for a while he would have won without my intervention."
"Your Excellency, all this is admirable and all, but could you please clarify your position, in what direction do you trust his decisions? We\'re not talking about a war council where everyone present has their say and the best is chosen, what we\'re talking about here is his immediate decisions on the battlefield!" Old Man Gu tried to influence Robin even more, "Let\'s take what happened in Nihari as an example, the Shadow Swords were preparing to use the Ashera Sect as a focal point to destabilize the north and force the rest of the Giants\' Clans to move against the Great Serpent Empire\'s army, but Sakaar came up with this move and destroyed everything they had been planning for weeks or even months!"
"..." Robin nodded in agreement.
"General Gu is absolutely right, we only have one army after all, we need a clear chain of command," Charles quickly interjected, "If Supreme General Caesar wants one thing, and Sakaar wants another, what\'s going to happen?!"
"You\'re right, this is the crux of the matter!" Robin slapped his palm together and pointed at Charles, then took out an empty scroll from his void ring and began writing on it, then stamped it with an energy seal bearing the Empire\'s emblem, then passed it to Theo, "These are my new orders, make them known to all."
"...An order to establish a second army?" Theo took the scroll and read it quickly, his pupils widening as he went down, "You\'re giving Sakar the same standing as Caesar?!"
