Lord of the Truth

Chapter 894: The indigenous people



After a little apprehension about the food, and Samson and Volpe trying to carefully examine everything to make sure there were no poisons, they started eating and drinking shyly and with pride, but this period did not last long, after the first few bites their mouths were opened wide!

"Hahaha, what is the name of this drink? It's amazing! Hahaha" King Samson laughed loudly as he slapped his thigh.

"It's Sun worshiper Tea Nectar, one of the most fragrant drinks you can get on Planet Jura!" Old Man Gu folded his hands with a smile

*Burp* King Volpe looked at the fruit in his hand after taking a bite of it, "...Is this from heaven?"

Old Man Gu pointed at what was in King Volpe's hand, "Actually, this is one of the common fruits of the Tree Father Descartes from Planet Greenland, I think even if it reached the middle planetary belt, it would still sell for a large sum!"

Then Old Man Gu left for a minute and came back with a glass bottle filled with a very red liquid, "This is the blood of the fanged deer, it is one of the most intoxicating and rarest substances we have found, even in its homeland, the Orphan Blood planet, these deer are considered endangered beasts!" Samson took the bottle with a loud laugh

Then Old Man Gu came back with a piece of glowing blue wood, "In its homeland, this is called the Heart of Satiety, it is the heart of a rare palm tree on Planet Nihari, they say that whoever eats a bite of it will not be hungry again for a month!"

*Swallow* Samson watched King Volp receive the Heart of Satiety and then looked back at Old Man Gu, this time seriously, "Each type of food is from a different planet, huh, that's interesting..."

Old Man Gu was happy that someone finally noticed his effort and clapped his hands, "That's a simple thing, we are after all a true planetary empire with complete control over 3 planets and are fighting the Great Serpent Empire for the rights to the fourth planet."

Samson took a big sip of the deer's blood, then looked at the bottle for a few seconds before staring back into Old Man Gu's eyes, "...I see you're aiming for the fifth."

"That's not true, sir, we have endless troops and countless generals, of course, we knew that the Great Serpent Empire had no troops left here but instead of coming as invaders we came as helpers." Old Man Gu gently pointed at the golden armored men around him, "Are these the looks of people who came with bad intentions? Out of all the officials in the empire, would they send a weak old man like me as a country? I was sent to be a mediator of good and these young gentlemen came only to protect me."

*Bam* Samson put the bottle down forcefully, but not too forcefully lest he broke it and spill the contents, "Are those demons that roam my land also has good intentions?!"

In fact, that was the reason the Northern King had come all this way.

...The people of the Northern half, or the indigenous people of Planet Gudah, were not completely wiped out after Volpe's race upgrade, nor were they wiped out after the Great Serpent Empire's invasion!

The reason for this is the presence of the Northern Fire Pit... There in the far north lies a chain of volcanoes and lava valleys that make the temperatures unbearable even for the locals who were created to adapt to the high heat, but after the arrival of the Great Serpent Empire invasion began hunting them to work as slaves, Samson led as many of his kind as possible and headed north.

The temperatures there were enough to melt bones but between this and immediate extermination or working as slaves under the power of those ruthless serpents... Samson and his companions chose to risk it.

In the first few weeks, half of the immigrants died of dehydration and burns, and within the first two years, another quarter died, while the rest were gasping for air and any drop of water they could hang on to.

A number of them tried to escape Samson's brutality and flee south, but they were immediately captured and the males were used as slaves to dig mines and build defenses, while the females had a much worse fate.

Facing this and that, the rest chose to stand by Samson and try to make it work...

Samson then ordered the women to dig a network of tunnels underground to get closer to the groundwater sources and escape the intense heat above, while he led the men to hunt anything that moved.

During the first ten years, most of the immigrants had already died, but little by little, the genes of the locals began to change... A woman would give birth in the tunnel network, and when her son was a few months old, she would bring him closer and closer to the top so that his body would get used to the heat of the Northern Fire Pit.

These repeated processes over hundreds of years made the new generation more familiar with the fire, and even made Samson and the rest of the sages with him better connect with their origins, and they were able to purify the Minor law in their hands to a stage close to

perfection!

Finally... Samson was able to break through to the realm of a martial emperor using the melting flame Minor law, and others quickly followed him!!

Their numbers reached an unprecedented height, and their familiarity witnessed an explosive increase, and there is no need to talk about their strength... However, Samson did not try to reclaim his lands, he remained in the Northern Fire Pit, waiting... waiting for more increase in numbers, strength, and luck.

In this decision, he copied the king of the south, Volp. Actually, when it comes to numbers and the overall power of their armies, Samson wasn't that much weaker than Volp!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It's just that they both didn't have the means to confront the Great Serpent Empire face to face, It was only that the lucky bastard Volp had the south where it was much more convenient to defend, whether he only had the Northern Fire Pit.

But in a way, they helped each other and forced the Great Serpent army to think twice before

going big.

One of the reasons Marshal Snite kept asking for support was because he saw the native martial emperors coming down south to hunt, he didn't know how many there were and what they intended which caused him some suspicion, and this was also one of the reasons why he didn't invest all his forces towards the southern half.

The Marshal actually tried several times to deploy a fleet or two to bombard the Northern Fire Pit and kill off this danger but to no avail.

The massive tunnel network made it difficult to eliminate them quickly, and the intense heat made it impossible to stay there for long... He kept an eye on that area, but he didn't try to provoke them further.
