chapter 602 a situation at the far east


    five years later--the steep hill in greenland--below the imperial palace


    "haaaa~~" robin stretched his arms wide and yawned with a satisfied smile, then stood up and began to do some simple stretching.


    "oh, you finally finished that stupid array?" evergreen''s voice came from next to robin. this time, the sound was not from an unknown source, rather, there was a visible body next to robin made of compressed air. although it was small and not completely clear, evergreen''s features could be easily seen.


    "it seems i''m done, i don''t see a way i can improve the array further, not with my current experience and information at least..." robin looked at the scrolls spread out on the desk in front of him one last time, satisfied, then stored them in his ring, and went to take a shower.


    "that''s great!! you spent a full 5% of your refinement running tests for that stupid array, finally, you can stop this hemorrhage!" evergreen sighed in relief


    robin laughed, "what''s the problem with that? the warlord array deserves every bit of it and even some more! anyways, the new refinement is what takes the most time, but replacing what i utilized takes much less time, i will be able to take back those 5% in just two months maximum.."


    "you talk like you love the refinement process and can''t wait to spend another two months on it! well then, come now to finish what you started!" evergreen clapped warmly and then flew to the wardrobe to get robin something to wear, it was clear that this was nothing new for her.


    *rrrrrshh*


    "okay, okay, i get what you are trying to say, but not now... i''ll go test the array first." robin laughed as he washed his hair under a small cloud, but soon the smile gradually disappeared from his face, as if he remembered something. "... there''s something i need to check too, i can''t wait any longer."


    "something important you need to check? ...oh, you mean that the demons haven''t invited you to the seventh wave yet? you are overthinking this. maybe the wave hasn''t started yet." evergreen shook her head and then sent a light wind to dry robin''s hair


    "okay okay mr. handsome, no one can stop you from doing anything when you decide anyway, hmph! just don''t be late!!" evergreen folded her hands and looked to the side, clearly annoyed, but robin merely smiled and patted her air avatar''s head.


    then he inserted his spiritual sense into the voice ring, ("alexander, i need to see you, where are you?")


    ("your excellency? it is good news that you are finally out. please give me just 5 days. i will arrange my affairs here and come as quickly as possible.") the response came quickly.


    ("five days? why, where are you exactly?") robin raised his eyebrows, alexander is supposed to be a governor who sits at his desk here on the steep hill and only gives orders, his departure to another location means temporal paralysis in the rest of the empire''s affairs.


    after two full minutes, the reply came, ("in response to your excellency, i am in father tree labikan''s lands, things are a bit bad here...")


    ("you are at father tree labikan in the far east? why? what is happening in there?!") robin stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, even if there is a war alexander is supposed to stay at the headquarters and send orders from afar, his time as a general is over!


    after another ten minutes, the reply came, ("your excellency, i am sorry. can i talk to you later? i have to fully focus on the battle. at night, i will organize the situation and come to the headquarters immediately.")


    ("that much?!") robin''s eyebrows sank, ("okay, ignore the order to go back. you can stay where you are and focus on what you are doing. i will talk to elizabeth.")


    after a while, the reply came again, ("sorry for not being there for you, your excellency. by the way, elizabeth is also here with me.")


    ".....?!" robin raised his eyebrows after hearing the last response and took out his soul sense from the ring.


    even elizabeth, who was responsible for managing the colonies and controlling the internal situation, went to the front.


    clearly, the situation outside was much worse than he thoughtn-(ovelb1n
