Lord of the Truth-Chapter 381 The Wind Of Change

"What was that?" Victoria turned slowly when she heard Elisabeth's voice, her features, and tone of great shock

And when she found Elizabeth extending her hand towards Robin waiting to receive something from him, she quickly confirmed what she suspected and cried out loudly, "Elizabeth, are you mad? Do you want to be his slave?!"

Elizabeth picked up the metal tablet Robin had thrown at her, looked deeply at it for a few moments without a sound, then responded with a weak voice, "His Excellency said that he would retain us as the rulers of our continents and that he would buy our resources if he wanted something from them. He technically offered us great benefits in return for achieving eternal peace on the planet. Wouldn't that be good for us, too? To move freely on all continents and not worry about wars... That's good enough for me." 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"His... Excellency..?! Nonsense, you are trying to convince yourself with that bullshit because you think he will win the war if it breaks out! Think, Elizabeth, if we help each other out there's a good chance we will win!" Victoria took a few steps towards Elizabeth and shouted

"...And there is a greater chance that we will not be victorious and our families will be annihilated. You have seen the army of Demons in action, you have seen how terrifying they can be! Even if we win somehow now, we will lose huge numbers of our family members and our lands will be burned… I do not want my lands to get burned..." Elizabeth spoke slowly and then inserted her spiritual sense into the metal tablet, "...I swear to be completely loyal to His Excellency Robin Burton and not to harm his interests and----"

"Elizabeth…" Wind Emperor Alexander raised his hand as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his mouth, he turned to look at the ground again.

"YOU BITCH!! We three promised to stand on one front and defend each other, and you just sold us out the first chance you get? TRAITOR!!" Water Empress Victoria pointed her forefinger at Elizabeth and yelled in a voice tinged with panic.

she knew what Elizabeth's submission now meant.

" ---And if I violate any of these terms, I deserve to die. Hooh~ I feel something in my soul... something like a lock, this tablet is really not normal and these are not just words, I feel like I might actually die if I violate anything, no wonder the Flame Sages took it seriously." Elizabeth flipped the board left and right in astonishment, completely ignoring Victoria

"YOU..!!" Victoria felt extremely offended by this disregard and some ice began to gather around her palm, killing intent clearly starting to seep out.

*swoosh*

Suddenly there was a shadow between Victoria and Elizabeth, that person looked deep into Victoria's eyes with a look that seemed normal but had a lot of power and menace behind it, and spoke, "Put your hand down... NOW."

It was Old Gu... no one knew when he moved and when he stood in front of Victoria, everything happened so fast!

Even Elizabeth looked at Victoria with a slight smile but a defiant eye.

Victoria moved her eyes between Old Gu and Elizabeth angrily, but also with some visible fear... That's what she was most afraid of, that's why she tried to get them out of there many times since the meeting started

The balance of power has been broken.

When they arrived at the Ancestral Continent they were The Four Unrivaled Emperors, what could possibly go wrong?

Even if a battle broke out at the top of the hill and war was declared she fully believed that the four of them could wreak havoc in Robin's army or even kill Robin himself before escaping safely, even if all the other 1200 top level sages got killed, it would be worth it!

That would actually be the best possible outcome and she did try to instigate this scenario a few times now, she wasn't just throwing Tantrums, she meant and planned for everything she did!

But she missed up on one thing... She Didn't Know What her enemy had in his arsenal, nor how her allies were thinking.

She didn't accept that old Gu would swear allegiance from the very start, but she thought he was afraid for his people in the Flame Continent and didn't think about it too much, they were still three Emperors against Robin and a broken Flame Empire, there is still a chance!

But now it went down to two against two.

Forget about Robin Burton and his Crimson Demons, the Sacred Tree Empire and the Flame Empire have become real allies, working under the orders of the same person, even without Robin's interference, there is still the danger of the Sacred Tree and Flame Empires!!

Finally, The silence at this moment was broken by Elizabeth, "Treason? You speak as if we have been allies since time immemorial, my dear, only three years ago my intelligence department told me of a network of spies on my land from the Water Empire whose main mission is to destabilize my lands and make the citizens hate me .. How can I betray those who never considered me as an ally?

"...I can explain," Victoria muttered in a low voice as she lowered her hand, trying to think of an excuse.

There was no reason to deny something like this could be easily proven, she just didn't know that the network of spies there had been exposed!

"No need to explain, I have a network of spies in your land and in the land of the Wind and the Flame as well, why do you think North Torrent's rebellion happened ten years ago? Hehe." Elizabeth raised her seductive shoulders and giggled

Victoria did not know what to say, it is clear that he did not ask her to say a word either, Elizabeth's words were clear...

They were not allies in the first place, if one of the four empires weakened, the rest would have attacked it, and this is an indisputable fact, and the apparent peace of all is only a state of temporary dormancy because all empires are almost equal to each other in strength.

Even the central continent, the real reason for its existence, which only a few at the top know is that their children get used to the techniques of the rest of the empires in the event of a war.

It is a miniature war arena and not a place for getting to know each other as they say! f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

"Haha good, come sit down, you are one of us now." Robin clapped and laughed loudly, then pointed to Elizabeth towards one of the chairs near him

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Elizabeth nodded with a smile and sat where Robin pointed

"Here are a few simple welcome gifts for you and your people, and more to come," Robin spoke, and with a wave of his hand a few items appeared in front of Elizabeth: a few metal plates, a scepter-type divine weapon, a space ring, a sound ring.

"These things are..?" Elizabeth muttered, still captivated by the scepter's beauty and unique aura, evidently far more powerful than her current weapon.

"The Perfect Major Heavenly Law of Plant Technique, the Perfect Major Heavenly Law of Life, a few Minor Heavenly Law Techniques that are related to the planet path, and other small auxiliary techniques such as Thoughts Conveying Technique, Soul Strengthening, and Soul replenishing Technique, and so on… My adopted daughter Zara will teach you and introduce you to everything you need to know, don't worry." Robin spoke with a big smile, today was really very satisfying, even if the other two leave he will be happy

"Ah! Thank you!!" Elizabeth opened her eyes wide and gave a small shriek of happiness, her beautiful figure and voice made everyone smile slightly, even the goblins.

*CRAAKK*

The sound of breaking one of the Water Empress Victoria's fingers echoed over the entire hill, she herself didn't know whether she had broken it because of her own disregard or because of the *welcome gifts* that Robin had given Elizabeth so simply, then she spoke in a voice filled with anger, "Alexander, let's go."

But she was met with silence for a few moments, before she heard that same damnable phrase again, "...heh, forget it~ give me one of those Tablets too."
