Chapter 623 Situation at the farm planet
"He is truly the lord!"
"I kneel out of respect for the Lord!!"
Moren\'s sudden shout caught the attention of all the demons above and below the wall. In the blink of an eye, all the demons with disturbed expressions or those filled with anger turned to look towards the same point... towards the Lord!
When Amon heard the *Lord* shouts and sent his soul sense back to confirm Robin\'s presence, he quickly turned around, gave a full bow, and shouted, "Amon welcomes the Lord." Then he returned to face Flora again in the blink of an eye, But he was clenching his hands and clenching his teeth harder this time
"Hoi Amon, who is this shorty over there?" Flora couldn\'t hold back her curiosity and pointed at Robin
"Shut up... just shut up already..." Amon, who had been exchanging blows with Flora a while ago, laughing with her, and even exchanging smiles, seemed to have transformed. Now his features showed great frustration and anger, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
How could he not, when the Lord saw him exchanging blows helplessly with the enemy and unable to win? What if the Lord thought he had become useless?!
As for Sakkar, he just looked at Robin and nodded. Robin did not consider his behavior disrespectful given the situation he saw him in, and he nodded back at him.
"Hmm? A human?" The Lightning Bull Aru furrowed his eyebrows when he saw what was happening. Seeing a human inside the wall wasn\'t entirely new since there were a few humans among the team of divine smiths, but they had definitely never seen the demons act like this with a human before, especially the three demons with the highest status, Amon, Moren, and Sakkar all behaved strangely towards this human!
"Come, stand next to me... There is no need to be surprised. It\'s just that when I arrived, I felt turmoil in the air, so I asked the gate guards to be silent so as not to distract the warriors." Robin gestured towards Moren and motioned for him to get up
"But, Lord, why did you not inform us of your coming so that we could prepare a suitable reception for you? The road from the space portal to here... was not cleaned well." Moren wondered and looked towards the path Robin had come from with some embarrassment. Scattered pieces of corpses and bones were still scattered everywhere. For the demons, this is a nice décor, but it is definitely not a pleasant sight for a human.
Robin smiled before returning to look directly into Flora\'s eyes, "Don\'t worry about these things. Even if you cleaned the streets of the corpses, you wouldn\'t be able not to clean their blood from my hands... The important thing is~ Your supposed alert about the seventh wave never came, so I decided to come myself, perhaps you forgot about me or something. It seems that I came at the right time."
"No one dares to forget you, My Lord, it\'s just..." Moren quickly responded, "The seventh wave never came."
"Oh? How come?" Robin spoke calmly, this time looking Red Flame Dragon Flora up and down with eyes glowing golden.
"As I told Your Excellency, we are subjected to daily attacks from small groups of enemies, and every now and then a strong wave comes to us that takes hundreds of thousands of lives, but after the sixth wave, no other such waves came to us, and the enemies\' plan turned into what you see now.." Moren lowered his head.
"What I see it now... Do you mean that there are 87 Martial Emperors who are constantly besieging you? It is not a bad plan, they do not attack, but they keep you in a state of constant readiness for war, which causes you to be exhausted, and at the same time, if some of you try to get out, they will ambush and kill them. As for if all the Demon Emperors try to come out and fight to the end, then the enemies may have other Emperors well hidden that might appear to wreak havoc on the city and capture the space portal, the siege might look simple but it is indeed far from that." Robin continued in his same calm tone,
"This is absolutely true, my lord. This situation has been going on for 4 or 5 years, and every time an emperor appears among us, one appears among them to equalize the balance again. Every few weeks, I, Brother Sakkar, and the rest of the demon emperors would come out to clash with the enemies to give the hunting parties a chance to go out to raid some of the closest villages to bring us food, but most of them die before they return." Moren nodded heavily
Robin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Looks like the farm planet is no longer a farm, huh?"
Moren clenched his hands tightly, "...It is just as you say, Lord, only Brother Sakkar was able to break through to level 43 because he was able to hunt down and kill three enemy Emperors. Brother Amon and I were only able to hunt down one Emperor, and the rest lived on what we could find, or on suicide missions. The hunting teams leave under our protection with a thousand demons, from which two or three demons would hardly return every time. If it were not for the space rings that enable them to collect enough corpses, our situation would have become worse..."
"Hmm... What exactly happens now?"
"...Although there are many enemy Emperors and we have fought with them more than once, Flora and Aru come out almost daily and challenge us in duels. At first, we were sending the Demon kings randomly, but we found that Aru and Flora were gaining more strength and Experience with every fight, so we stopped feeding them more experience and assigned Brother Amun and Brother Sakkar to stop them whenever they appeared, so now whenever Aru and Flora appear for a challenge, Amon and Sakaar come out to them... Flora has been struggling against Amon every day for years, but they are in a state of balance, as your Excellency sees. As for Sakaar and Aru, their battle is settled. Aru cannot inflict any harm on Sakaar due to the protection of the Sea of Blood, and Sakaar cannot capture Aru or kill him because of his incredible speed, so they are content with this silent confrontation every day. Perhaps one of them makes a mistake that the other party exploits." Moren smiled and looked down at the ground, he had to admit that these two had already surpassed him
Robin grinned sarcastically, "I gave you the *Farm* planet but the one who was trapped in the end was you? How ironic, indeed, strength alone is not everything when facing intelligent creatures..."
*Crash* Morin\'s fist forced his claws to dig into his palm, "You are right, Lord, we deserve every word."
"Don\'t worry that I don\'t blame you, or it can be said that if I blame you, I have to take double that blame. You have done what you promised. Your numbers have increased, and the number of emperors and sages among you has witnessed an increase that I have not imagined. But I am the one who broke my side of the promise. I brought you here and told you that there are no martial emperors, but here I can spot 87 martial emperors around the city alone..." Robin nodded calmly.
"Don\'t say that Lord, you didn\'t know either, those martial emperors certainly weren\'t there when we started the invasion!!" Moren became emotional and responded quickly
"It\'s okay, were they present before or not, it doesn\'t matter now... I\'m the one who brought you here and put you in this situation and I have to help a little." Robin waved at Moren, then suddenly raised his voice, "Amun, capture that sweetie for me."
*SHWALAAAA*
The white flame flared up again until Amon was like a burning star in the middle of the sky, and he uttered two words carrying a terrible killing intent, "I obey."
"Hmph, who are you capturing, you hideous thing?!" Flora\'s features changed instantly and the red flame returned to burn strongly over her as well.
This was not the first time she had fought Amon, they were mostly equal in firepower and they knew every trick the other party had, Every time they clashed they would exchange a few attacks after which they would return to standing at a safe distance to catch their breath and plan for the incoming clash, then the cycle repeats... How would that change now?
But she soon realized how wrong she was.
