Chapter 331: Exchange

"WAIT!!" The Sages were startled when they saw what is going on and cried out in fear for their kids

"Tch.." The Level 40 Sage murmured in anger and then waved his hand at the rest of the Sages that hovered around the ships to stand back, and then descended to stand on the beach a few meters away from Robin…

"This is better." When Robin saw this, he waved at Zara to stop the Giant White Flame Demon

The Giant White Flame Demon indeed stopped all motion, but it could be seen that it hated it, the Giant White Flame Demon stood there next to the Flame Empire prisoners looking at them as if they were his worst enemies, ready to start killing at any moment...

*Krrrrrrr..*

*Step.. step.. step..*

After the signal of the 40th level Sage, the fronts of the ships slowly began to open, revealing behind them large numbers of people, mostly young men and women, all in torn clothes and covered in old stains of dirt mixed with blood, and every one of them showing signs of severe torture.

"argh.. it is so bright"

"Where... are we..."

"R- Red horned beasts!! did they bring all the way here to feed us to these things?!"

"The day has finally come then, huh."

The people inside the ships mixed feelings when they saw the sight in front of them, Demons standing in front of them and Dracos flying above them, even The Giant white Flame Demon that looked like it was about to devour the world...

No one thought for a moment that this might be a good thing, some of them actually started to smile, rejoicing that their suffering will finally end.

Robin took a big inhale when he saw these familiar faces and then spoke gently, "Calm down and move steadily towards me, you are safe now."

"Is that...?"

"He's His Excellency! That is His Excellency!!"

"...Father?"

A faint sound came from among the voices of the thousands of prisoners of the Burton family who began to move out of the ships, but it was strong enough to hammer Robin's heart and made him turn his head quickly towards its source.

Finally, his eyes fell on the person who had just spoken...

It was a saint at the top of his realm, A level 30 Saint that can lead an ancient Duke family like the Bradleys, but he moved as weak as a hundred year old mortal and leaned against another young man next to him to prevent himself from falling, he was extremely skinny and wearing nothing but torn pants, it looked like he hadn't eaten in ages, any little boy could count his bones and ribs just by looking at him

His body has old traces of torture that have not yet healed, and there are even traces of direct stab wounds in several areas of his body...

It is clear that he was left to die more than once, but he was too stubborn to die and hold on to his life to this day.

"Caesar!!" Robin's eyes became blurry when he saw his child, everything he was doing right now was to see this young man again!

He feared that the Flame Empire would use Caesar as a card if he started the war directly on the Flame Empire's continent, seeing him moving and talking again was the most important thing, revenge can wait.

"Argh… Father… it's you… it's really you… It's..." Caesar slowly raised his slender hand and placed it on Robin's back, it was a simple gesture but he had extracted all the strength from his body to do it.

"It's okay, you are fine now, you are fine now.." Robin finally left him and put his hands on either side of Caesar's head and spoke, then looked beside him at the young man on whom Caesar was leaning and spoke, "Thank you for looking after my son, Alfred."

Alfred Marley himself was not in much better condition than Caesar, it could be said that they were leaning on each other, but when he heard this from Robin he forced his body to bend a little and said, " Please don't thank me... Your Excellency.. but please.. my family.. "

Robin moved one hand off Caesar's smiling face and placed it on Alfred's shoulder, smiling, "Don't worry, I left them alive for you... most of them at least."

"...thank you ..thank you.." Alfred was dumbfounded and happy for a few seconds, but suddenly he seemed to understand what *most of them* meant, probably his father and maybe all the ruling class in the family had been killed, but he still cried happily. At least he still had some little relatives left...

He knew this day would come, and he knew that this was the best scenario that could have happened.

Robin nodded and then looked back at Caesar, "Take Alfred and go rest in the forest other there, keep moving until you can't take another step anymore, when we are done here we'll talk more, okay?"

Caesar nodded with difficulty, began to lean on Alfred, and started moving to where Robin was pointing

"All of you, go after Caesar, we will bring you food and medicine in a little while." Then Robin raised his voice and pointed to the rest of the prisoners disembarking from the ships to the left of the shore, where they all walked in that direction slowly and weakly as if they were zombies...

The Sage of the Flame Empire waited a few minutes until the last prisoner came out of the ship and vacated the area and then spoke, "Are you pleased now?"

Robin nodded, still watching Caesar move and the rest to safety, "I must admit, I was pretty much expecting you wouldn't bring in any prisoners, but it looks like you guys are not completely stupid... At least there's someone wise among you."

"Hmph! We, the Great Flame Empire, are so glad we got rid of the burden of feeding all those scum for free." The sage spoke in exasperation, evidently hating what was happening now.

When Robin heard this, a provocative smile appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything, he merely waved his hand.

*Bam Bam*

The Giant White Flame Demon and Nihari demons stepped aside, clearing the way for the Flame Empire hostages to move forward.

"You don't have to be afraid of anyone, come on board!" The sage declared loudly and pointed behind him

The hostages advanced very slowly, as happened with the prisoners of the Burton family and the Rune Masters, not because of injuries and hunger, but because of fear...

These Man-eating creatures... those winged beasts... The giant White Flame Demon... And Finally, That MONSTER that was commanding all these creatures!

Everything they have seen over the past six months has made them terrified of every single detail around them!

*taa taa*

After the hostages passed the two rows of demons on either side, they started speeding up little by little and started entering the ships closest to them, happy as if they had taken permission to get out of Hell to Heaven!

The empire's 90 sages who had shown themselves so far descended and greeted their children and grandchildren with smiles and then told them to enter the ships with the rest quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the ten thousand teenagers were all inside the ships with no problems

Then the level 40 sage of the Flame Empire in charge gave the orders, and he and the sages began to push the ships back until they reached the water again, then they turned them to face the other direction, and began to move away slowly from the sandy shore.

Without saying another word, the exchange was successful.

But there was something strange about the atmosphere... It didn't ease one bit.

Neither the Demons seemed to rest, nor Robin went after Caesar and the rest to check on their affairs...

They all remained standing in their places like statues, eyeing the imparting ships like they are waiting for something...

"Master…." Demon Kind Sakar came from behind Robin and spoke, "About Those that were hidden inside the ships…."

Sakar and the rest of the Demons in general caught the scent of other individuals who had not come out of the ships with the Burton prisoners, large numbers of them, and most importantly... they were all extremely strong.

"I know, stay alert," Robin spoke without much emotion.
