Lord of the Truth

575 War counsel -2

Silence...

Everyone present found something and then sent a report to the headquarters then the headquarters sent people to list the items in the treasure rooms. Technically, only now do they know the amount of what they found collectively... And it was as huge as they expected, and some more!

12 small mountains of energy stones, and only one mountain could return an army estimated at more than three million soldiers back to their homeland? Doesn't this mean that these 12 Mountains at the very least equal or even exceed the entire wealth of the True Beginning Empire?!

And 800 tons of Volheimer metal?! This metal may not be as rare as Uracilium, but it is also rare in nature and is an excellent foundation for most kinds of runes, the biggest reason behind the slow production on Planet Jura is that all continents are constantly searching for mines for this metal. 

If the blacksmiths of the Flame Continent put their hands on this amount of metal, the production of golden armor and weapons would take a completely different curve!

This is without mentioning Uracilium, they found 50 tons?! This is an extremely valuable metal, valuable to the degree that they do not even know what to use it for!! 

And what about the rest of the elemental metals that Emily mentioned? the number of applications they can use it in is unnumbered!

Never mind anything else, just the metals and minerals mentioned make this war extremely worth it!

But Emily didn't stop at the metals and minerals of course, when she continued the report on the ancient herps found in the treasure rooms, and the silence in the room became even more apparent.

The tree father himself was approximately half a million years old, yet he had several plants there that were much older than that, although the uses of most of them are still unknown, and even for the known herps, no one would dare use a million and a half year old open ground lily to make a normal wound paste, for example!!

After about an hour of mentioning the types of plants that had been identified and their characteristics, and after everyone was salivating, Emily began talking about the numbers and types of wooden weapons and shields. This time, however, it did not take much time and in the end, she concluded, "The quality of the wooden weapons and shields that were made from the bark of one of the ancient branches of the Father Tree, is not any worse than the quality of golden weapons and armor. Its only problem according to the experts is that it can't work with all laws and peer many kinds of runes like the Volheimer metal, but they are still extremely useful and would make an excellent choice if given to the life forces and plant forces."

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth and Zara looked at each other with a smile. Obtaining equipment that would increase the effectiveness of their soldiers would be a great gain, but in the end, the decision was up to the Emperor.

Emily then continued after raising her glasses, "...These were all in terms of the spoils found in the treasure rooms, but not everything... You Exllency, you will in front of you a detailed map of the lands of Tree Father Hoffenheim and all the strategic depths therein, as well as the locations of several mines that still contain minerals, which our soldiers found by chance while chasing after the buds..." 

"...And there is something else that can be considered a separate resource, at the top of the tree, which was constantly being struck by lightning. We found several things that were out of the ordinary: a small pool with a green liquid in which the lightning was moving constantly, charred young leaves filled with Lightning Law energy, and burned young branches that also exude the power of Lightning Law. Although I cannot fully examine their uses, each one of these spoils can undoubtedly be used to increase the strength of the army's Lightning Battalion."

"Sigh~" Tree Father Descartes' avatar let out a long sigh, even if Hoffenheim was a rival and friend-enemy, hearing his body being dismantled like this gave him a very strange feeling.

"We have a Lightning Battalion?" Robin ignored Descartes' sigh and asked, raising his eyebrows

Emily nodded, "In response to Your Excellency, we do have a battalion of Lightning Users, but they are currently without any sages. This is because Your Excellency distributed the technique for the Major Heavenly Law of Lightning only after the unification of Planet Jura, but the number of young people who choose this path is not small, and we believe that it will be one of the main branches in your army very soon."

Robin whistled softly, then looked at Jabba, "Most of those materials Emily mentioned are of unknown use to us. It seems that you have a lot to do in the coming period. Try to quickly gather your team."

Jabba quickly stood up and placed his hand on his chest, "Of course, I will do my best, Master, and I have already found some candidates for the team."

"Oh? Is there anyone among them that I know?" Robin raised his eyebrows slightly. 

Although he did not know what Jabba had been doing over the past month, he was definitely helping the headquarters with the examinations and transportation of the spoils. Where did he get the time to find candidates?

"Err, that would be me, if your excellency don't mind."

Robin looked towards the source of the sound and found Old Gu standing and bowing slightly

"You want to join Jabba? Do you know what his mission is?" Robin furrowed his eyebrows slightly

"Yes, Your Excellency, Brother Jabba told me that he has left the army and will devote himself to matters of research, discovery, and creation. He will follow in Your Excellency's footsteps, so to speak." Old Gu nodded and sighed, "My old bones are no longer able to engage in battles directly, but during my rest period as an advisor to my son previously, I dedicated myself to reading and contemplating, and I have some ideas. I think I will be a good addition to the research team, or at least I will not be a burden on them."

"Hmm as you wish then, Your wisdom and patience on the battlefield will be missed, but we will gain it on another front." Robin nodded a few times, "The forces of the Flame Continent will be completely transferred to be under Caesar's command, and you can appoint advisors from the Barnett family to accompany Caesar at all times. Do you have a problem?"

"…It is an honor that our family members will not fight under Caesar's command, Your Excellency." Old Gu showed an ugly smile and nodded. 

Although he didn't like his entire army being transferred to Caesar, the only good thing in this arrangement is that Caesar is destined to be the Supreme General of the entire Army, If his officers and advisors were from the Barnett family, then at least the command would be transferred back to them after Caesar became the Supreme General, and if they served him well they will have a much higher standing in his heart than the other forces, so it's a temporary loss but long term benefits.

' Did His Excellency think of all this before he made this decision? Did he know that I can't refuse? ...That guy...' Old Gu thought to himself as he sat down

"Well then, let us get back to what you are all here for... you've all heard the spoils, and the moment you love so much has arrived!" Robin laughed out loud, even He didn't expect this kind of return

Everyone settled in their seats, especially Alexander and the rest of the Sages coming from the four continents of Jura. Finally, their declaration of loyalty to the Empire will begin to bring profits!!

"But…" Robin raised his hand for a moment and then pointed at Fugon, "Before we distribute the Empire's earnings, we have to pay off the foreign debts first, don't you agree, Foggy?"

All eyes turned to Fugon and the rest of the tribal heads sitting next to him, some eyes were looking at them with disdain and envy as they saw that those locals should thank heaven that they killed their enemy and should get lost already... and some of the other officers and generals looked at them with pity because they knew what would happen if they accepted their lot today and left without declaring their full loyalty to the Empire.

However Fugon, Debas, and the rest did not care about these eyes, they did not even notice them. For them, Time has already stopped for a while, specifically when General Gu Barnett said that the Emperor's disciple, Jabba, would follow the footsteps of his master, leave the army, and go to research... These two monsters were devoted to research?!
