Lord of the Truth

Chapter 427 I Will Lead!

Robin moved his eyes between Elizabeth, Victoria, Old Gu, and the other top-level Sages standing around him, then asked out of nowhere, "You all know now that those lightning bolts can pierce the dome, right?"

Everyone nodded, this was one of the things that mostly crush their confidence, if only those attacks were outside, they simply wouldn't come out, they could probably stay inside the dome and strengthen it until they find a solution, in the end as long as they had a safe haven they would be able to negotiate with those creatures even if it took months or years! ...But reality had a different opinion.

"Some of you may have noticed that all of those killed by the lightning bolts were low-ranking Sages, and all of those who were attacked were all flying, right?" Robin asked again

"This…" Some of them asked and looked around, while others nodded.

Everything happened very quickly, since the lightning strike and until this moment only five minutes have passed, and a few of them have not yet reached such observations.

Robin nodded a few times slowly, then started to lift off the ground.

"Your Excellency!!" Old Gu and the rest shouted in one breath, panic evident on their faces!

Robin from the beginning has been standing at the heart of the army, issuing all decisions and moving the army as he wants, even the stupidest person among those humanoid white creatures will know that he is their leader!

That person who sent the thunderbolts will definitely attack him now that he has left the ground, and on top of that Robin is still just a Saint, any one of those lightning bolts would be enough to turn him into ashes!!

They have to protect Robin, it's their hope to get home! They have to bring him back to Earth immediately!!

...But none of them dared to fly after him, fear gripped their hearts and feet.

Robin continued to climb upwards, then slowly increased his speed until he reached the boundary of the White Flame Dome and stopped in front of it…

*boom boom boom*

The White Flame Dome had already reached a critical stage, the number of holes in it had become very dangerous, and the dome was currently not even 40% complete

At this point in front of Robin, the dome was opening and closing in fractions of a second, while the distance between him and the nearest Saint of humanoid white creatures did not exceed two feet, perhaps if one of them extended his hand he would touch the other...

"Heh~" Robin let out a sneering laugh at that humanoid saint, then looked down at his followers, "That thunder attack won't happen again anytime soon, head towards the top of the hill and fight with all your might, but for your safety, most of you stay on the ground, shoot them from below. Even if you don't hit them, at least disperse them and keep them away from the dome... At the same time, I want only 500 sages in flight mode, they will be the real offensive arm of our forces. Those sages must be at the level of the middle Sagehood realm or higher, and when one of them gets tired, he has to land Another sage takes his place.

"500 sages…" All the sages started to look at each other with sidelong glances

Now they know why Robin is flying in front of them, he wants to prove to them that that attack will not be repeated, but he is still one person, what if that person is waiting for large numbers again? What would happen if 500 of them went up and got hit?

They knew Robin asked that all of the 500 Sages be above level 34 to withstand the thunderbolts if it came down again and don't get directly killed like the low-level sages, but how useful is that? Those middle, high, and top-level Sages who were struck by the thunderbolts are all on the ground now between life and death, their survival isn't even 50% granted!

"Tch! Move your ass motherf*ckers, you think I'm asking your permission? THIS IS DIRECT ORDER!" Robin suddenly shouted in annoyance when he saw their hesitation, all the Sages present had sworn to obey Robin, so he really didn't really need to say much, whoever refused to move now would risk breaking the oath and die!

But he softened his yelling again when he saw that moving them by force would only result in an increase in the death toll, as he added, "...Don't worry, this is a bet in your eyes but I'm 100% sure of my calculations... I'll lead the first 500 sages myself."

"Father!!" Caesar shouted and quickly flew to Robin's side, "You said it's a bet, even if there's 1% that you are wrong I won't let you get out of here, if you want someone to lead the first group it will be me and no one else, even if no one came with me, I will fight alone!"

"WORAH!" The Burton family saints loudly shouted their readiness to march

"I'm ready too." Jabba slammed on his chest from below and shouted

"Wind forces, gather, we will head out!" Peon didn't bother saying anymore and was already gathering his followers

*Crashh*

At this moment, a loud bone-clacking sound emitted from Old Gu, before everyone could hear him saying with a sigh, "…Heh~ it seems that the life we spent in prosperity has made us forget what war is, I, a soldier, have been reluctant to carry out an order from my superior, what a shame."

Then he bowed towards Robin, "Your Excellency, you are too important to be put in danger, you are our only hope now, if you do not wish to apply martial law against me now and cut off my head, please allow me to lead the charge."

Robin looked long at Old Gu, then nodded.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Old Gu let out a long sigh and immediately started preparing the army and preparing the first wave of Sages

Robin stood there and continued to watch... It was clear that Old Gu and all the Sages he has chosen for the first wave were still afraid, but they stood in their ranks and received their orders, and acted upon them.

Quite unlike them, the Burton family saints had no such showing fear, they were moving with enthusiasm and with facial expressions topped by cruelty and thirst for blood!

Robin sighed when he saw this, no matter how powerful the soldiers are and how much they train, practical warfare has a different character, only situations like this can make real soldiers...

The long period of peace in the four empires on Planet Jura made it prosper faster and take hurried steps towards higher energy levels compared to the rest of the planets of the same martial age which is only 60,000 years, But it also made their men weak inside.

On the other hand, the ancestral land was far behind in terms of cultivation technique, how to make the best use of cultivation resources, and so on~ They had one thing that gave them an edge over the four Empires which is the constant state of wars!

That edge can be written off if a direct conflict happened between the four Empires and the ancestral continent because of the cheer gap in power

But when both parties are at the same level now, the edge of the ancestral continent residence would start to show effect...

'Sigh~ this was one of the reasons I brought them here anyway.' Robin thought as he watched them move...
