Chapter 294: Us against the world

"Of course not, your father left us with a lot of backup plans and told us to strengthen the army more than once, because of him we have a force that can protect us no matter who the enemy is! we will be safe, don't worry.. we will be safe...." Mila leaned a little and patted the boy's hair gently.

"Hmph! Richard is old enough now as you started bringing him to attend such high-level meetings, no need to treat him like a child," one of the older saints in the room spoke up and looked at the boy, "Listen, kid, we are in deep shit! if your father had stayed with us he might have come up with something to help in this messed-up situation, but Where is he now when we need him the most? He ran away!"

The boy who seemed to be ten years old, Richard, clenched his hand tightly and looked down, finding nothing to say in defense of his father he had never seen...

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Billy hit the table and stood up, "If you say another word at Robin, I will demote you immediately and send you to guard the cotton fields from the earthworms, do you understand me clearly?!"

"Tsk~" That old man looked away and didn't say anything, the rest of the family's elders also started looking at each other in annoyance...

Since when can a ten-year-old child and a woman from another family attend their gatherings? even a few youngsters who don't know their origins?!

This is THEIR board, THEIR family!!

The Patriarch was left absent-minded after hearing the news, it appeared as if he was in another world in his own head, eventually, he ignored Billy and those old men and looked at Prince Alfred, "Your Highness, what is the opinion of the royal family about what is happening? This is a royal war as you know, the royal family will stand with us... right?"

In the war three years ago, the royal family sent their mighty armies to the three fronts, and they ordered the other nobles in the kingdom to do the same...

They were an important element in the defense against the advance of the Three Kingdoms, without them, victory without heavy losses would have been impossible.

Even if the Burtons were able to fend off the attacks on their lands, this was a Royal war!

the Bradleys and Altons' lands were still in the Lying Water kingdom as well and were subjected to extremely powerful attacks, not forgetting the Julian family that was facing the whole Kingdom of Oakleya in the northwest!

And now a new battlefront is opened, The front of the kingdom of Garia, which has no prober frontier defense to speak of because they have been allies with the Black Sun Kingdom for thousands of years!

Without the presence of the army of the royal family, and their ordering to move the armies of all the nobles under them to stop this advance from all directions, this war will...

"Of course! We certainly will--" Alfred's enthusiastic words were interrupted by the vibration of his ring, he passed his spiritual sense into it and closed his eyes for a few seconds, then stood quietly, "My father asked for my immediate presence in the capital, I will see what he wants and then I will come back to tell you... you don't need to worry, we are with you!"

"Please go ahead," Billy replied with a smile and pointed towards the door respectfully

Everyone followed Little Prince Alfred with their eyes until he got out of the room, and then Billy said, "The royal family will withdraw from this war..."

"Yep, they will abandon us."

" This is too obvious."

"Dammit, are we facing the world alone now?!"

Everyone panicked and put their heads in their hands, the Burton family's army was strong, but not large.. it was impossible that they could defend against all those royal armies that could number in the millions, even if they can... Their enemies have 40 sages!!

Their only hope was the same as before, relying on the support of the royal family and using talismans to attack from behind, but after the appearance of all those sages and  the kingdom of Garia entering the war, it is clear that even the royal family began to fear for itself

Not only that... If even the kingdom of Garia declared war on them, what prevents the other remaining three kingdoms from sending their army as well?

Who is provoking these kingdoms to advance? who has sent all those sages out of the blew?

Even if the Royal Family of the Black Sun and the Burtons don't fear the other seven kingdoms combined, they would have to fear whoever is behind them now...

About a quarter of an hour passed before Bailey finally raised his head again and spoke, "It's good that we rebuilt Jura City ten years ago, the city can withstand a prolonged siege. our only hope is to summon all our forces and concentrate them here."

"And all our lands? what about out factories and farms outside Jura? All of them will be gone? What about the title of Marquess!? Is everything we have worked for will go to waste just like that..?!" One of the saints shouted, his heart almost stopped as he spoke

"We must defend every inch of our land, this is our property! It's our dream and our life's work!!" another shout

"Our lives are more important than titles right now. If we survive this crisis, we will get back what is ours. I agree with Uncle Billy. The Fire legion will stay in Jura." Caesar finally spoke

Theo, Peon, and Zara looked at each other for a moment, and then Peon said, "The Legions of Wind, Darkness, and Life will stay in Jura."

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Do you really think that you are a part of this family? They are our men, our forces!! Who gave you the right to decide the future of our forces as you wish, brats?

The full force of Four Legions is our secret weapon on which we spent all the family's resources on, They are literally our only hope now, and you want to control them? You think we will allow you?!" One of the elders of the Burton family stood up and hit the table

"You haven't spent a single copper coin from your damn pocket on them, actually all of you were against spending too much on the four legions.. had it not been for my Father's advice and us four and uncle Billy following it to the letter, those four legions would have been still weak, and why? for you lot can fill your damn pockets!!

So please stop talking like you contributed to anything! Our father gave us these legions and he gave us those resources, and they will remain at our disposal until HE says otherwise." Caesar replied with cold eyes.

"you..!!"

The patriarch stood and sighed, "The youngsters are right, our lives are the most important thing to consider now, we must survive this and then take our revenge..."

"But, patriarch..!!" One of the elders tried to intervene quickly

"Enough already with this matter, it has been decided!" Patriarch Brian stopped him, and then looked at Mila, "Take Richard and go back together to the Bradleys, they are coming for us, the boy must stay safe, or I won't know how to look in Robin's eyes in the next life..."

Mila looked the patriarch straight in the eye, "Who told you that our family would stay in place? I'm going to bring the Bradley family's army and it will station right here in Jura City, the Bradley family will stand with you to the end no matter what."

" But...!" The Patriarch wanted to add something else, but he paused and sighed when he saw the spark in Mila's eyes, she has already decided long ago..

"There is no point in staying and talking any longer. Let each go to his work, start preparing food and every other necessary resource for the siege." Caesar stood up and spoke

Then started walking towards the balcony, Theo and Peon and Zara moved as well but stayed half a step behind him as well

Caesar took a deep breath, looked down, and spoke, "Men of the Burton family, the world has decided to get rid of us because we are better than them, but our father, His Excellency Robin Burton, has not done all that for us to fall without a fight!

This city must stand firm until it receives his triumph return, only then shall we rule the world! Fire Legion, Dark Legion, Wind Legion, Life Legion, tell me… Will Jura City fall before His Excellency returns to us?"

"OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!!" A united and resounding shout shook Jura's entirety

About sixty thousand soldiers standing under the balcony with eyes blazing with rage and enthusiasm, all of them wearing shiny white armors and holding high-categorized weapons

And at least half of them emitted a saintly aura.
