Lord of the Truth

A week later... Over the walls of the capital of the Black Sun

*Gulp*

"May the heavens have mercy on us..."

Thousands of soldiers standing on top of the walls gazed toward the horizon and began to recite their prayers

This wasn't the first time the capital had faced a hostile army, but it was the first time everyone stood inside its walls, At this moment, it didn't matter if you are a mortal or a sage, everyone was shivering at the sight they saw.

The incoming army was not a Royal one estimated its numbers in the millions, but a mere ten thousand foot soldiers...

They had no siege equipment and no one flew in dazzling formations to terrorize their opponents, they just walked there... And seeing the effect, it seems that they really didn't need to do anything.

*baa baa baa*

With neither quick nor slow steps, a battalion approached that seemed to have just escaped from the bottom of Hell, they were all naked and crimson in color, taller than average humans, with long spiral horns, some of these horns even reached a meter long!

The only human in the army looked like a dwarf when spotted next to them, even while riding on a war horse...

"Is... Is that Robin Burton?!"

"Oh my God, the rumor is true."

"Sh*t, we should have taken a neutral stance!!"

The Marley family's Knights and even the Sages started talking in a low voice

There were rumors over the past few days that many cities inside their kingdom were invaded and killing spray happened, however everyone who got out to find the truth about these rumors didn't come back again...

Seeing the sight in front of their eyes now, it must have been true...

It took a few seconds for the side talks to stop again, but they all started looking at a certain person from behind aggressively as if they wanted to rip him apart.

Sage Albert Marley approached the person the Knights and Sages from the Royal Family were looking at, and spoke in a low voice, "Philip, what are we going to do now? I don't think Robin came today for a friendly conversation..."

Phillip Marley gritted his teeth hard and then looked next to him in the direction of a few people dressed in the traditional dress of the Flame Empire, he looked desperate, if they asked he would kneel and beg without a doubt.

"Hehe, there's no need to say anything, he's just an idiot who doesn't know his weight, you shouldn't be fooled by the shapes of those monsters, maybe he brought a few clowns from his family and changed their shapes and their auras in our eyes with an illusion technique or something, after all, he is the creator of all those techniques right? I assure you they are just human beings who haven't even reached the Knighthood realm!" A sage chuckled and spoke, that person especially had the strongest aura of all the Sages on the walls

*Baa baa b--*

Robin raised his left hand off his horse when he got as close to the walls as he wanted.

The Demon battalion stopped, then Robin quietly lowered his hand and looked up...

Then he ignored everything and everyone else and only looked into Albert Marley's eyes with an expressionless face.

Albert held his gaze for only three seconds, before turning his eyes to the left and clasping his hands tightly.

When Robin saw this, he finally spoke, "When I had to leave, I thought a lot about the most powerful and credible person I knew, I wanted someone to trust my family with, and I couldn't think of a better choice than you... For everything I gave your family, I asked you for one thing, and that was to protect my family until I came back, and you were kind enough and agreed, you said you wouldn't allow anyone to touch Jura City until I came back.. Did that happen, Albert?"

"...." Albert Marly couldn't find anything to say, he just clenched both of his fists so quickly that it looked like they were about to shatter.

"His name is his highness, Sage Albert! Secondly, you may talk to me, what have you come for, Robin Burton? Do you think you can do whatever you want within my kingdom?" Philip spoke, looking at Robin from the top of his nose

"Albert.. did this... HAPPEN..?!" Robin repeated his question again, but this time with a cold tone and clear killing intent that made even his war horse freeze in place and stop breathing for a few seconds.

"Y- Yes, It happened... it happened..." Albert replied, surprising even himself

"Our family broke a pact with the Burtons?"

"Oh my God... we are about to fight monster-like creatures, but we are the bad guys in this story?!"

They were already at fault for helping an army that came to destroy a family in their lands, and they know it, but every Marley convinced himself that it was a person was and they got nothing to do with it, only now did they know how wrong they were...

The morale of the soldiers, which was already low, plummeted more than ever, they just started looking at each other from the corners of their eyes, and some started letting their swords touch the ground with their mouths wide open in shock...

"you..!!" Philip looked at his cousin Albers, visibly angry

Albert went silent and looked at the ground, not even knowing why he replied... but quickly convinced himself that he had responded because of his guilt and because of the monster army in front of him.

"Robin Burton!!" Philip shouted loudly, "The decision to send supplies to the Allied army was mine alone, you ran a great Duchy once and you know how things go... Blame no one but yourself for what happened, you won the enmity of many when you were still weak and you showed so much to the world when you were still a kid, simply survival of the strongest, and you weren't the strong side in that equation!"

Robin ignores Philip again and continues to speak to Albert, "In recognition of your frankness and our past together, I will give you one last chance, you have ten seconds.. commit suicide the way you like it.. if the battle starts while you are alive, believe me, you will regret it."

"Hahaha, committed suicide? Do you think you can touch him when he is standing among us..? I can't believe we have been searching for the past decade for this kid who doesn't even know what he got himself into!" One of the Sages dressed in the Flame Empire's army uniform laughed loudly,

Then continued, "I was planning to wait until our battalion that went out to hunt down the rest of your fugitive filthy family members and send them to search for you and bring you to me, I can't believe you came to us with your own foot haha!"

For the first time, Robin moved his eye from Albert and fell on that sage, "Hmm? Are you saying that none of those idiots contacted you Via The Sound Talismans before they were eaten...?"

"...Before they were what..?" That wise man furrowed his eyebrows and asked in surprise

"..." Robin moved his eyes towards the hands of all the people standing on the wall and then smiled, "So then, the sound talismans that were sold in the markets have expired and you can no longer make anymore because of the harsh oath that the Rune Masters have taken, I took my time coming here to give you time to call whatever troops you have left so that I can end you in one go, but you don't even know what is going on around you..."

"Hmph, Speaking crazy things won't prevent me from capturing you! today I'm going to make you tell us about the location of the oath tablets that silenced all our targets and rendered them useless, then you will keep creating what we need for the rest of your miserable life... you will become the dog of the empire from now on!" A big smile appeared on the Sage of the Flame Empire's face

"What a great plan!" Robin clapped when he heard this, then looked at the Demon to his right, "Are you hungry?"
