This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
At the border – Right now
Two huge armies, one of 150,000 and the other of 250,000 stand face to face only 800 meters from each other, only a few divisions of armored infantry among them fighting as if they were in a training session, hitting on each other shields then retreating before an actual injury happened
It has been nearly an hour since the mini battle began, but there were only a few individuals who actually got injured and 3 who were actually dead, it was as if both sides had taken instructions to content themselves with defending and minimize the losses.
"Edward Bradley, just give up already, this is something between me and the Burtons, You have no business being here, if you submit now you ease the negotiation and actually help the Burtons… you are not helping them now!" The Duke raised his voice from behind his army
On the other hand, Edward replied, "I have entrusted this army by its owner, and I will deliver it to him as it is."
"The army's owner? Who is this? I'll speak Brian Burton later and settle things down, you are the one agitating a war right now! tell your soldiers to lay down their weapons before it is too late!" Duke Donald announced
"Too late? Hmph…" General Edward huffed, then continued, "All I need is permission or enough reason to turn your entire army into scattered pieces of rotten flesh even before support arrives, if you dare then order an all-out assault and test your luck!"
"YOU WILL REGRET HUM-…" The Duke raised his hand and almost ordered the attack, but the words of Sage Albert echoed in his head, which caused him to restrain himself at the final moment and lower his hand slowly again
"Duke, look behind us!" Until a shout from the saints came around him, causing him to turn quickly
*Klopp Klopp Klopp*
Rows behind rows of war horses swiftly coming towards them, and contrary to any other cavalry formation, this formation is too open that the Duke and his high officers and saints can easily see every single horse and its rider from head to toe…
With each look, the Duke and those with him found that every time their eyes fell on one of the cavalries, he would be a knight.
Even leaving aside these strangely huge numbers of low level knights, 9 level 21 Saints with the level 23 Billy in their midst can be seen flying in front of the army at a steady height like the head of a huge serpent.
The coming lineup was nothing in size if compared to the 250,000 soldiers that they are heading towards, but they gave the feeling that Death itself had come…
"Stop! Who are you? Who allowed you to enter our lands? This is an assault on our sovereignty and the punishment is death!" One of the saints next to the Duke shouted after seeing this scene
But the oncoming cavalry team paid no attention to him, and continued advancing until they reached about 300 miles of the army, after which they stopped, and Billy began to shout, "I'm Billy Burton, and all around me are my uncles and cousins, open the way at once for our caravan and its guards or else… We will have to open the way ourselves."
"HAHAHA, you think you can *open* the Evren's mighty army with a handful of new knights?! Come and show me how you will do it!" The same Saint responded again and jumped to the rear of the army and began to give orders to turn around and face the coming Burton troops quickly
Neither the Duke nor the rest of the saints stopped him, they already agreed an hour ago that this man will speak and try to test the waters when the time comes that why they were here in the first place…
testing the coming enemy while showing their strength, is a must before the negotiation began, if they tried to start the negotiation now after the coming troops killed three saints and 20,000 soldiers of their own, they will be in a very passive situation and most likely wouldn't get more than 4% of the desired taxes!!
but their features worsened with every passing second and every new knight their eyes fell on… up till now they couldn't find a single one who is at the Energy Foundation realm!
"Then you won't give way? As you wish!" Billy shouted, then he too started giving orders
The Legions of Darkness and Wind descended from the war horses, wielding their long daggers and shiny bows, and moved to the side waiting for further orders…
As for the Legion of Fire, they began to join quickly and close the wide gaps between them, and took the shape of a spear head, They are ready to advance at any moment now.
"Calm down, Billy," Robin shouted from the tip of the spear, drawing the restless eyes of all sides, "at the end, we are the offspring of the same kingdom, we can't spill too much blood today."
"Hahaha, where did this kid come from? Do you think your little troop of level 11~ 12 knights can assure your win? whose blood is spilling today? Not from our side!" The Saint of the Evren Family laughed out loud
Robin did not answer him, but randomly signaled to a knight next to him
The knight nodded and jumped off his horse, then quickly advanced into the middle of the empty field between the two armies and shouted, "Who among you would dare to fight me?"
The Evren Family Saints looked at each other in astonishment, the boy who had just come out was just a 12th level knight and about 30 at the most, where would he dare to challenge the experts of such an army?
"Hmph, if you want a blood sacrifice first, we are fine with it!" The saint blew and then signaled to one of the knights at the 12th level also to come forward
The knight advanced silently and with a few leaps cut the distance between him and the knight of the Burton family, and without a word ignited a scorching aura around his body and attacked directly with his sword
It was clear that this knight was not a random person but an elite of the mighty Evren family army,
uninterested in what is happening below, the Duke raised his eyes to look at Billy and the rest of the Burton Saints to try to read their features… but to his surprise, he found no concern on their faces and obvious absolute confidence in their man…
But he soon understood when he looked down again at the battlefield…
he found one person standing and another person burning silently beside him with white flames.
"What-what?!" The Duke shouted and then grabbed the person closest to him, "What just happened?! How did he die?"
"That knight of the Burton family shot a white flame ball and killed our guy instantly!" The saint responded with a fright
'So simple?!' The Duke thought to himself 'Didn't he find time to defend or even avoid it? He didn't have the time to complete the attack he made that jump for?'
But at this moment something crossed his mind and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Then you are the famous White Flame Demon Caesar Burton, the one whose achievements and tales about his talent is wide spread across the whole kingdom, No wonder you are so full of yourself… what a cheap shoop from you, Burtons, but do you think you can win today with one man?"
" My Name Is Gota Burton!" the knight in the middle of the battle field hit his halberd to the ground and shouted while pointing at a certain deriction, " None of you worms are fit enough to fight my commander, Caesar Burton!"
Everyone's eyes quickly got to where he is pointing, a thickly bearded youth riding his war horse at the head of the spear head, but unlike the rest of the legion, he looked relaxed, even yawning… with his halberd still on his shoulder
'This is Caesar? then the white flames…' everyone thoughts for a second, but that didn't last long as they were intubated by a piercing sound
*SOOOOOOT*
Robin put his hand in his mouth and whistled, then grabbed the sword that was attached to his war worse, lit a white flame on it and raised it high then shouted "Fire Legion!"
" WE ARE HERE!"
*SHAAAAAAAAAA*
Everyone behind Robin imitated him, and in the blink of an eye, all the Fire Legion raised up their halberds and launched their perfect fire law heavenly technique white flame… all except for Caesar.
The famous white flame that gave Caesar his name across the eight kingdoms, the white flame that every human alive was trying to figure out what is it and how Caesar Burton got it…. was now shot by thousands of knights towards the sky in a majestic, and frightening sight.
