Lord of the Truth

Chapter 316 Crimson Cloud

The next day-- At the highest point on the mountain

”Hey, I came as fast as I could, did I miss something?” Billy landed next to Robin, then nodded at Amon and Jabba, who were standing next to him

A demon came to his tent a short while ago, telling him via the Thoughts Conveying technique that Robin wanted to see him for something important, so he came flying towards the top of the mountain, but it is clear that they started the meeting without him...

”You came just in time.” Robin nodded at him with a slight smile and then looked back at Amon, ”Do you know what to do now? Do you need me to repeat anything?”

”Everything... is clear... everything... will be done according to your orders,” Amon spoke in a raspy voice

”Good, you may start the execution then,” Robin spoke and then gestured to him to leave, so Amon gave a full bow and then flew towards the rest of the sages of the Demon race

”Hey, what was this? What is he going to do?” Billy spoke and then started looking around randomly, ”Why are those crimson creatures starting to move? Where are they going?!”

”You donʼt have to worry about this, I called you to tell you to gather your men, we will go back to Jura at once.” Robin patted Billy on the shoulder with a slight smile and his eyes closed

”Hah? Going to Jura?! The men need a rest, We have been in a constant fighting state for days, and we were being chased down for weeks now!” Billy panicked and said, ”Can you calm down a bit and tell me what you are thinking? letʼs think about our next step together okay?”

”Everything has already been prepared, you donʼt have to worry about anything other than what I asked you now, you will know everything when the results arrive later,” Robin spoke with a smile and patted Billyʼs shoulder

”Eh? What the...” Billy furrowed his eyebrows and moved his eyes between Robin and Jabba, not knowing what was going on.

”I expect everyone will be ready to leave within an hour... and you donʼt have to worry about their fatigue, they wonʼt be walking to Jura.” Robin withdrew his hands and pointed toward the tall trees at the bottom of the mountain where about five thousand Dracos were nesting.

Billy looked at those majestic creatures and opened his eyes to the last of them.. Are they going to ride these back?!

---------------------------

A few hours later...

*baa*

*baa baa baa*

The Draco beasts descended on the already damaged walls of Jura and the tall buildings that were partly still standing in the city, and one by one the Burton Saints jumped down.

The excitement of riding the Dracos ad witnessing their amazing speed went down after they saw Jura again.

Traces of destruction are everywhere around them, the streets still painted a dark red after the massacre that took place ten years ago, and even the fresh blood the demons left behind after the recent *cleansing* of the city...

Nine thousand Saints could threaten the existence of any kingdom on the continent, but they fell to their knees one by one upon seeing this scene with eyes filled with tears of strife and hearts crying out in pain..

With all that strength they had, they failed to protect their people and property.. what they are seeing now is what they got, they have no one or nowhere else.

Robin looked around quietly... when he was here before he was in no mood to examine the whole state of the city.

Almost nothing remained the same...

Even the metal pyramid that Robin built as a huge Oath tablet showed old traces of melting on the sides, it is clear that a large number of sages tried to melt it to destroy it and free the Rune Masters and the special forces to extract information from them, but it is clear that they failed and stopped.

”...the city will need major rehabilitation,” Billy spoke while holding a handful of dark red soil under his feet, it became questionable if itʼs even suitable for growing corps anymore

”Nothing will be rehabilitated here, this soil will not be razed again and the streets will not be cleaned, every drop of blood will remain there forever...” Robin spoke and looked around

”...It is our city, the city that has contained the Burton family for more than 6,000 years... we... we...” Billy stood up and clenched his hand tightly, He knew exactly what Robin was saying

He does not dare to give orders to clean the place and treat his familyʼs blood as garbage that must be disposed of, and even if his heart hardens and does it, how can he look at these streets and eat the crops of this land again?

Robin didnʼt even bother trying to convince Billy anymore, knowing he didnʼt need to, ”Take your time you and the rest of the family sages and take a break from the wars of the last decade, then spread out over the continent to search for the prisoners and slaves of the Burtons and Bradleys and whatever family helped us to the end during the war,

I will leave the entire Draco Legion to you to make it easier for you to do it, gather them here in camps in front of Jura City until we find another suitable shelter, your task from now on you and your men is to search and protect, donʼt put anything else in mind...”

”Hmm? Itʼs not as if the Empire and the rest of the kingdoms will be watching us as we reunite the family!” Billy looked at Robin with furrowed eyebrows, ”But you already know that... You are going to do something big, arenʼt you? Give the men just two days to catch their breath and then we will fight with you to our very ends!”

”No one has to die anymore, just do what I told you, and keep Zara and the two boys close, when they come back from exploring the city, tell them Iʼve gone on a short errand and Iʼll be done before they miss me,” Robin said with a smile

Billy was horrified to hear Robinʼs words, ”You will even leave your kids behind? What exactly are you trying to hide?”

”...A part of me that I donʼt want them to see yet, But I know they will understand later.” Robin concluded with this vague sentence but didnʼt seem to intend to explain further, then looked up at the sky and whistled loudly, and then shouted, ”Letʼs start the next part of the plan.”

At that moment, Billy felt that the ground was shaking under his feet, more than eighty thousand demons came out of the forests near the city and from the very heart of the city and stood in eight combat formations, each one made up of ten thousand demons

At the head of each formation were dozens of white-haired demons who looked even more powerful, then the formations shot in different directions...

Robin and Jabba chose two different demon formations and disappeared in different directions...

---------------------------------

After participating in the siege on Jura with 300 thousand soldiers and giving the Flame Empire Allied army an unlimited amount of food and other supplies, they were without a doubt the top winners of the war!

After Jura Fell, Duke Donald Evren raced to claim all the Burton lands, of course, he couldnʼt get their lands at the Kingdoms of Dolivar and The Lying Water, but happily swallowed their everything inside the Black Sun

The only piece of land he left was Jura and the surrounding area to become the main base for the Flame Empire to station their troops and do their research.

With this, the Evren Duchy became the biggest Duchy in the Black Sun and arguably in the whole ancestral continent!

Their new size and manpower, and their new strong connection with the Empire Sages made them an object of envy from everyone, Even the Royal Family of the Black Sun started to deal with them with the utmost respect.

One hour later--- the new frontier of the Duchy of Evren.

”Hmmm? What is that cloud of dust over there? Are they wild horses?” One of the guards responsible for protecting the northern border of the Duchy of Evren spoke

His colleague came and stared at the cloud of dust for a while, ”I donʼt know either, the vision is not completely clear, but I think I see some Crimson creatures… hmmm, they have horns too…”
