Chapter 389 Do What You Have To Do.
"People of the Ancestral Continent, I, Robin Burton, Will not apologize for taking my revenge, whether you think it's too much or not, It's done! I do not regret destroying your government or killing your family members, BUT... I do regret leaving you half way without giving you an alternative, I thought that I was making you a favor by not subjecting you to slavery and letting you do whatever you want, but the chaos that came after that had damaged you more than my revenge did... It is not too late to fix that mistake of mine, Whoever."
Robin raised his head and continued his speech with a confident voice, "Starting today, Billy Burton will begin his ministry as ruler of the Ancestral Continent, He will divide the Ancestral Continent into provinces each will be ruled by one of the Burton family's sons. He will supervise the reopening of factories and the plowing of agricultural lands again.
Within one year from now, you will have your new full-time government! You will no longer be under some Orange Sun Kingdom, or the Rotten Water Kingdom, You will all be under the same rule of the True Beginning Empire. just like the people of the Flame Continent and the people of the Sacred Tree, Wind, and Water Continents! There will be no more wars, no more suffering, just eternal peace under one Empire that rules the entire world!"
Billy opened his eyes at the last of them and looked at the few saints from the Burton family around him, and asked in a low voice, "...I'm going to do all that?!"
"Everyone, listen to my words carefully, do not think that you will be inferior subjects, second-class citizens, or slaves. In every area where the law is restored, I will spread all the Cultivation techniques and Law techniques for free, up to the second stage! I will normalize the usage of talismans and divine weapons, Whoever wants one will have one! I will spread the cultivation academies, and research centers, and build you more advanced factories, I will make you all -my citizens- equal without distinction of noble or commoner, that kind of discrimination is over.
I will provide you with what your ancestors could not provide... an opportunity to choose your own future! Everyone in my world will have the same opportunities from birth, what you will become in the future will only depend on your choices...But I will also compel everyone who wants the third stage of any law to swear allegiance to me. sorry to ruin your fantasies, but I will not raise dogs to bite me in the ass at the first chance.
People of the Ancestral Continent, help the Burton family to restore the law and exterminate the bandits as soon as possible. Do not stand in the way of the development of your continent and do not stand in the way of the future of your children, leave what you feel about me aside and choose your future.
He who helps us to spread the law in the Ancestral Continent again will only help himself, and he who is blinded by hatred and wants to go against me no matter what, It's ok, I understand your hatred, but do not blame my forces for killing you. I will not go to ask for forgiveness for this and that. I have said what I have and made my judgment, no more words need to be said... Do what you have t do." At that moment, Robin withdrew his Soul Sense from the talisman in his hand and let out a long sigh
Then he stood and looked behind him at Billy, "I have made myself clear to them and cleared my conscience by these arrangments. The rest I will leave to you. I do not know what their reaction is now or to what extent my words have affected them, they might be raging even more now, who knows~ Just be careful in your dealings with them... Move the Demon army as you wish, but you must restore Order on the continent, and physical and food security must be restored as soon as possible. Use Theo and the Dark Legion as well. They will be your strongest weapon at this stage... But remember that you must surrender the entire Demon army to me three years from now, after which you must rely on The troops from the Burton family or the police you hire from the Ancestral Continent, Are we clear?"
"Y-- Yes! This is the best order you have given me since I knew you haha!!" Billy shouted with a burst of loud laughter, Regret was eating his heart for the state of the continent had reached, holding the reins of affairs in it and trying his best to restore it to be better than before might ease his conscience somewhat.
He would also finally be able to get rid of those Demons that were colonizing the continent like locusts!! f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
They are a really good weapon in Robin's hands and loyal followers and all, but they are not the kind of people you can live with on friendly terms!
Those damned Demons make excuses to hunt down civilians and eat them, so getting rid of them in three years would be like killing two birds with one stone!!
"Theo, no empire uses darkness or anything close to it. You are still one of a kind, my little friend, and I will keep you that way... The law of Darkness will remain at your sole disposal. After you have finished helping Billy, I want you to open an academy to teach Darkness to whoever wants to, but they should be loyal to me first and to you second, and none to third, understood?"
"Yes, Theo will make you an army of Darkness." Theo bent slightly and spoke, his tongue no longer as slurred as before
Robin smiled and then looked at Jabba, "We have about 3,500 Rune Masters and Divine Weapon Blacksmiths left From those who came with us from Nihari to build the ships, right?"
"Yes, there are also quite a few of those who were held captives at the Flame Empire." Jabba nodded with furrowed eyebrows, trying to anticipate what would be asked of him
Robin nodded, "Good. I want two huge Space Portals. Choose a good, comfortable and spacious spot to set up the first Portal and pave broad avenues to and from it, and divide wide yards and storehouses around it so as to receive the incoming armies and future merchants... As for the second gate, it must be out of sight, but it must be in a wide place as well, I believe the inner region of any major forest in the Central Continent would do the trick."
"This…" Jabba's frown increased, the first portal's use and reason are clear, but that second one…
"After they finish, they should build this pyramid." Robin took out a metal plate from his ring and handed it to Jabba, "This is a blueprint of how it will be built and the Runes that will be on it. It is an edifice that is several times larger than the pyramid in the city of Jura. Whoever among the people of the ancestral continent wants to reach Sagehood will have to swear an oath on that pyramid. It would be better to build it in the imperial city."
"Which imperial city?!" Jabba was surprised and asked
"What? I wouldn't be an Emperor without an imperial city, right? Haha." Robin approached Jabba and patted him on the elbow, then took out another sheet of metal, "This blueprint contains Runes for defensive arrays that fit an entire city, choose a good spot in the Central Continent and then have the Rune Masters lay the foundations, then hire a few thousand masons to finish the rest, This should be done as soon as possible, too."
"It seems to me that you hate your Rune Masters and Divine Weapon smiths a lot…" Jabba chuckled and gently shook his head, that was really too much for them.
"Haha, just tell them That I will reward them properly later." Robin laughed and walked beside Jabba
" Where are you going?" Jabba looked behind him at Robin's back, which was shrinking with every step he took, and shouted
With a slight smile, Robin replied, "I'll go for a walk until you are done!"
