Robin waved again and the surveillance array was set up again, then he closed his eyes and with some concentration, an image appeared in front of them... It was a battle.

This battle takes place around the walls of a small city, where the attackers are a mixture of Humans, Astrals, Dwarves, and other lower races. Their numbers number is at least ten thousand, all of them wearing a golden piece of armor or holding golden weapons. The presence of lower beings in such huge numbers and this interconnectedness astonishes Holak who saw them in this form for the first time, but he smiled, it seemed as if he was happy for them...

As for the defending party, their color is pale and they look like a mixture of snakes and humans, some of them are too large like the Nihari Giants and some are as short as a dwarf, They wear silver armor and carry powerful weapons too. Their numbers do not exceed two hundred, and there is a huge metal snake roaming over the city, helping them defend with artillery shots from time to time.

The huge difference in numbers between the two sides was compensated by the huge metal snake, and nine people intervening at the right time to kill the largest possible number of attackers. If it were not for these two variables, the battle would have ended immediately.

Holak furrowed his eyebrows slightly, This was the first time he had seen such a race, "What's going on here? Are these the ones you mean?"

Robin nodded, "These are soldiers from a Planetary Empire called the Great Serpent Empire. They arrived on the planet Nihari about 8 months ago and since then they have been in battles in the central region. In the beginning, they shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of living people and destroyed dozens of cities, If you don't believe me, You can ask the planet's spirit later. Stopping them was a bit difficult depending on the locals alone, but with a little help from my Shadow Swords Legion, they were stuffed in that city and their numbers reduced to such a degree that they no longer posed a threat, in the end, they are not the main danger, they are just vanguards of what is to come~"

Holak stood up and approached the array closer and just stared at it for a while. During the minute or two that he continued to fight, dozens of the army of lower beings died, "...One Warlord of the ones you showed me could wipe them all out, why did you leave them for 8 months?"

Holak's laugh stopped midway, "...What do you want to say?"

"I say that the planet spirit made you leave at this particular time, not only for my sake but for the sake of those invaders. She knows that they will notice if a battle takes place between us or that the speed of the planet's refinement suddenly increases, and they will try to intervene... She wants a three-way battle for her possession." Robin sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "Sorry, buddy, but your peaceful life is over. Even if I give you the technique and you go back to cultivate it and refine the planet's spirit in peace, you will find those invaders over your head sooner or later."

"Argh, that little bitch!!" Holak raised his eyebrows and palmed his hand, then laughed again, He had to admit it was a good move, then looked at Robin, "So, what do you suggest?"

"..." He had just told him that he was being manipulated by the planet's spirit and that he would go to war against two great entities and his only reaction was to laugh excitedly, "...Swear allegiance to me and help me in the war, then I will give you all the soul techniques you want, I will give you what remains of the planet to manage as you wish, and I will also appoint you as one of my supreme generals and give you the freedom to move between the planets subject to me, and of course, you will have Nihari's spirit."

"Hmm, that's convincing and motivating at the same time, but..." Hخlak waved a few times, smiling, "Forget it, I don't work under anyone."

"But you are involved in this war whether you like it or not." Robin furrowed his eyebrows, "If you choose to enter the fight as a third party, you will be defeated no matter what you do. If you leave now and return to your shithole, I or the other empire will find you in the end and you will be forced to fight alone, and your fate will be death or submission. Your only chance is to ally with me to get through this ordeal."

"I know, my dear, I know," Holak opened his arms, laughing, "But an alliance with you is one thing, and an oath of loyalty to you is another, suggest something related to war, and I am all ears."

"...Then unite the northern region under your banner. The giants revere you and will obey easily, and I will take care of the rest of the intelligent races in the North and make them follow you as well. All you have to do is make the Northern Region a fortress against the invaders, so do not allow them to enter it, and at the same time launch attacks on them in The central region, if you can. With the strength of the well-known northern region, in addition to your presence and the beasts of the Mountain Range that you can mobilize, I believe that the mission will not be too difficult for you..." Robin did not waste a moment and quickly continued his words, "In return for your efforts, and if you succeed in your mission, then at the end of the war I will give you a Soul Strengthening Technique that is dozens of times faster than the one you are currently using."
