Chapter 314: Seeing an old friend

Half an hour later---

"Salute His Excellency, We salute Robin Burton!" About 9,000 Saints got down on one knee and shouted in unison.

"Father!! Woaaa'.." Zara ran and fell into Robin's chest and started weeping bitterly, forgetting for an instant that she was the leader of hundreds of Saints in the Life Legion and a fierce fighter who had fought countless battles and taken countless lives.

"Take it easy, I'm here now..." Robin held her closer to him and gently stroked her hair with a slight smile.

This was the first genuine smile that appeared on his face since he left for Nihari, for the first time in 21 years his smile was not fake, there were no pride or joy behind it, just love and a sense of relief...

Although Zara is now more than forty years old, in his eyes, she is still the same child he rescued from slavery when she was 8 years old.

Then he looked around him again and found two familiar young men, he opened one of his arms and spoke and spoke with the same gentle smile, "What are you waiting for?"

Theo and Peon looked at each other for a moment and then rushed into Robin's embrace as well...

The last two decades have been too hard for them, Only after he left did the two of them know how dependent they were on him.

Finally, after about a minute Robin let them go and looked behind him, and then pointed out, "This is Jabba, my first and only disciple at the moment, you can count on him for anything you want help with, and this is Amon of the Demon race and he is one of my loyal followers if you want to move the demons or Anything related to them, just talk to him and he will arrange it... just use the Thoughts Conveying Technique as they don't understand our language yet"

Then he addressed a word to Jabba and Amon in Nihari's language, "These three are my adopted children, Theo, Peon, and Zara. If they ask you for something, don't hesitate to do it, and if you need anything too they are there for you, Alright?"

"Understood." The five nodded, and then Peon and Theo moved and shook hands with Jabba and Amon...

There was still some dread in their hearts for the giant and the other creature who seemed to have crawled out of the bottom of hell, but as long as they followed their father, everything was fine, not only that but rather a certain safe, and prideful feeling began to appear in their hearts as their father managed to get these powerful creatures to work for him... But this is only to be expected!

"Hmmm?" Robin looked around trying to find a certain person, until finally his eyes fell in a certain direction, and spoke, "Hey... How long are you going to keep staring there?"

Billy was still wide-eyed and looking at a demon eating the liver of one of the sages of the Flame Empire as if he was eating candy, and not only him.. but the entire Flame Empire army had been wiped out and was being eaten with pleasure now before his eyes!!

Although the Burton family's army testified that these demons came to their rescue and did not touch one of them with harm, they unconsciously maintained the defensive formation even while saluting Robin, the horror they are seeing isn't something you can just overlook...

How can a rabbit feel safe in the presence of a wolf, even if it helped him once?!

"BILLY!" A shout again from Robin woke Billy from his disorientation, and he looked at Robin, "These are...?"

"Don't worry about them, they know when to eat and when to stop. Tell the men to rest too, it is all right." He spoke with a slight smile and then continued, "After you finish sorting things out, I want to see you alone."

"Alright, I'll meet you in that tent there in a quarter of an hour." Billy nodded and went to check on the men and start setting up a camp

After a quarter of an hour - the commander's tent

Billy raised the curtain and walked in, looking worried, "Robin, are you sure these things will behave? Are you sure they will follow your orders? There are about twenty thousand of them out there, if they go crazy, we are all dead... The men are terrified outside!"

"They were living on eating beasts and mortals, without me they would not dream of tasting the taste of cultivators of the level of a saint or a sage, they would not have even dreamed of seeing, hearing, and talking.. Don't worry, they will do what they are asked," Robin said with a small smile and then pointed toward the chair

Billy didn't understand anything of what Robin was saying but understood enough to know that Robin had great faith in them, so he let out a long sigh and went to sit down smiling, "I didn't expect to see you today... I didn't expect to see you again at all... seeing you here with that army, you came back knowing that we are in trouble? It must be Mila...

When you were still late after Mila and Richard went to you, we thought that something bad happened to you three, or you thought it was useless to come back and forsaken us, but it is clear that you met in the end.. that is reassuring."

Robin kept staring at Billy for about five seconds, after which he forced himself to move his left cheek to form a half smile and nodded.

"Tell me about your trip, and how did you know we were here?" Billy Asked

"...Heh~ When I found out what was going on here I used the Major Heavenly Space Law to reverse the coordinates I got from the All-Seeing God to locate this planet, and then again used Major Heavenly Space Law to connect the gate in Jura and the gate in Nihari, the two gates working together made us arrive almost instantaneously after If it took me 8 days for the one-way trip to Nihari when I left, it also greatly reduced the cost of sending one person."

Robin replied and then continued, "After I got here I caught two Sages, I performed a Soul Search on them, and one of them knew about the hunt and siege that would be imposed on you in this area...so I came immediately after the army assembled."

"This… So, you and all those demons descended on Jura City? At the Metal Warehouse? What happened there?!" Asked Billy, looking frustrated,

Jura had always been on his mind since they ran away years ago, but he and his troops didn't dare to come back.

"Jura has returned to us… Almost... Most of its inhabitants were killed or became slaves after the conquest of the empire, and most of its defenses and towers fell… but otherwise, it has returned to us." Robin said with a painful expression

"Hahaha, that is great!! As long as the city is there we can always rebuild it." Billy laughed loudly and hit his hip, then the laughter went away immediately as if he remembered something, "That is bad, who did you leave in charge of the city after you left?"

"Don't worry, the ones you fear are still swimming in the bellies of demons out there," Robin replied with an emotionless face

"...Heh~" Billy gave a long sigh and started rubbing his forehead, "I was so angry at them that I was about to order Theo to send a suicide squad of the Darkness Legion to assassinate them, but I held myself back, actually part of me was happy with what they did...

We who tried to resist til the end were doomed to die no matter how long our resistance lasted, but their actions at least gave life to some bearers of the Burton surname. We fought without fear because we know that the family name will not be erased after our death.

"It seems you didn't hear much after your escape? Those traitors didn't just cause you to escape... After the empire entered the city, they killed half of the family and enslaved most of the other half.

The ones who were left unharmed are those traitors and their descendants, it was better to issue the order and kill them off than for them to live on and be the new face of the family! You don't have to pity them, Billy, they got just what they deserved." Robin spoke in a low voice, but also in apparent exasperation
