Chapter 118: Chapter118-The Former Ministers of the Clawclash Empire

Leo looked up, his gaze sweeping over Vincent, Hugo, and Diana.

The three of them were radiating powerful energy waves, having reached the peak of Sanctuary King rank, just one step away from Sanctuary Lord rank.

Such an extraordinary rate of advancement was nearly impossible to find anywhere in the entire Alpha Starfield.

His eyes then shifted to Albert and the others, nodding in satisfaction.

“Very good, the first step of Dalton’s great journey is already ripe for the taking!”

Since the flames of war between the various starfields and cosmic sectors in this boundless Starsea had never ceased, Dalton no longer needed to remain a bystander.

He would lead Dalton to become the strongest creator of order!

Until the day they conquered all the starfields, the entire Sakend universe, and established an unprecedented order federation.

The first step of this grand blueprint was to fully take control of the Alpha Starfield beneath their feet.

“Robin.”

Leo turned to the ever-silent and respectful Robin.

Hearing Leo address him first, Robin froze for a moment, then immediately stepped forward to salute.

“President, what can I do for you?”

Leo’s deep gaze fell on him.

Heart of Wisdom!

This man possessed an incredibly rare talent for wisdom, one in a billion, although it had not yet fully awakened, it was already impressive.

People with this kind of talent were naturally favored by the Goddess of Wisdom, making them the perfect choice for a strategist and development expert in an army!

Dalton lacked such a core figure who could handle strategic planning.

Robin’s appearance had been perfectly timed, and that was one of the main reasons Leo had brought him to the city.

He had always believed that destiny never arranged things without reason!

Even though all the powerful beings were walking paths that defied the heavens, it didn’t prevent destiny from favoring everyone with different blessings at different heights!

Of course, Robin’s loyalty had to be confirmed first.

Though the chances of betrayal were nearly nonexistent under Dalton’s favorable conditions, necessary scrutiny was still required.

“Robin,”

Leo’s voice was calm.

“Where are you from?”

Without hesitation, Robin answered.

“President, I once served the Clawclash Empire, but was exiled from its power core due to differences in ideology with the Empire’s Empress. That is why I chose to travel through the Starsea.”

This answer caused Vincent and the others to visibly stiffen!

He came from the Clawclash Empire!

That was their number one mortal enemy, with whom they had an irreconcilable grudge!

The three of them immediately cast tense, cautious glances at Leo, holding their breath as they awaited his judgment.

Leo’s eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn’t anticipated such a background from Robin.

However, that was all in the past.

The Empress of the Clawclash Empire’s narrow-mindedness had led her to discard such a talent.

He glanced at Vincent and the others, whose expressions were mixed with complexity, and spoke in a tone that was calm but carried undeniable authority.

“Robin, leaving the Clawclash Empire was a wise choice. Because the Clawclash Empire is the number one enemy of both Dalton and the human race of the Alpha Starfield!”

As soon as these words left Leo’s mouth, Robin froze in place, as if struck by lightning.

No wonder he had felt several icy gazes on him moments ago!

The next moment, he immediately knelt on one knee with a loud thud, his voice shaking with emotion.

“President, please understand! I swear on my soul that I have severed all ties with the Clawclash Empire!”

“And I never participated in any wars against Alpha’s main continent. Back then, I was still studying at the Imperial Academy and had not entered the power structure!”

“I swear by the laws of the Starsea, my loyalty to Dalton Town and to you is as firm as the stars in the sky, unwavering for all eternity!”

As he spoke, he invoked the power of the laws and swore an oath right there.

Vincent and the others exchanged looks, and the hostility in their eyes toward Robin diminished slightly.

Leo’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.

“Firm as the stars?”

He had only been in Dalton for half a standard time, and yet he could say such flattering words.

His decisiveness was certainly noteworthy.

Leo cleared his throat and turned his gaze to the other side.

“Vincent, Hugo, Diana.”

The three immediately stepped forward in unison.

“President, please give your orders!”

“I give you three months,”

Leo’s voice carried a tone of resolute will.

“Make sure the name of the Clawclash Empire disappears from this entire starfield forever!”

Upon hearing this, the power within the three of them surged uncontrollably, their excitement almost too much to contain.

They forced themselves to suppress their emotions and responded solemnly.

“We will carry out your will!”

The moment of vengeance had finally come!

Had they not been waiting for President’s orders, they would have wanted to immediately lead the army to wipe out the Clawclash Empire as soon as they broke through to Sanctuary King rank.

Now that they had finally received the command, how could they not be overwhelmed with excitement?

However, Leo’s next words left them stunned.

“Robin will accompany you. He will have full command of this operation.”

Immediately, Vincent’s expression changed.

“President,”

Vincent spoke first, his tone filled with confusion and a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Forgive me, but with our current strength, we could easily flatten the Clawclash Empire. Why let him, an outsider, command us…?”

Hugo and Diana immediately chimed in.

“Yes, President, even with just the three of us, we can handle the Clawclash Empire.”

“Exactly, even if I go alone, the Clawclash Empire will pay a heavy price!”

At that moment, all three wore the kind of pride and confidence typical of anyone who had just broken through to Sanctuary King rank.

Robin lightly shook his head.

It seemed like they had underestimated him. Did they really think he was just a talker?

He would bet that if it weren’t for his strategic planning back in the Clawclash Empire, that empire would never have reached the scale it had in such a short time.

Before him, the Clawclash Empire’s upper echelons had been in disarray, with a serious gap in power and development.

But even now, the empire still had many unresolved issues.

Of course, the Clawclash Empire wasn’t as simple as others made it out to be.

If Vincent and the others went alone, even if they won, they would pay a heavy price.

He stepped forward, bowing slightly to Leo, his voice steady and confident.

“President, rest assured, with me here, I will ensure the Clawclash Empire becomes history.”

“Of course, the premise is that these esteemed gentlemen are willing to trust me and follow my strategic plan.”

At the last moment, he cast a meaningful glance at Vincent, Hugo, and Diana.

The look in his eyes made the three of them furrow their brows.

A mere Sanctuary Law rank person—how could they understand why President Leo placed such importance on him?

At that moment, due to his former enemy status, the three clearly lost their usual calm judgment.

Leo’s brow furrowed slightly, and his voice grew colder.

“Has my command lost its authority?”

An invisible pressure spread through the air, and the three of them immediately felt a tightness in their chests, as if being watched by a giant beast from the Starsea.

“President, please calm down! We understand!”

The three dared not express any further dissent, quickly lowering their heads in acknowledgment.

Since President insisted on this decision, there must be his reasons.

They would see what this former Empire core member was truly capable of.

Moreover, if the operation failed, the main responsibility wouldn’t fall on them.

Thus, the three of them, along with Robin and their old forces, left Dalton Town and set off on their expedition!
