Lord of the Truth

617 The second test

Inside the covered training hall--

"We salute your Excellency." The unified sound of the military salute from 5,500 soldiers shook the covered hall and its surroundings, with Sage Julian in front of them. Even the roughly one hundred Rune Masters wearing civilian clothes saluted in their own way as they bowed slightly and placed their right hands on their hearts, with headquarters Head, Sage Emily, was no exception as well.

"Be at ease." Robin nodded satisfied as he ran his eyes over the small army in front of him

"Hmph! Look at you, Dad, feasting your eyes on your army here while you left the R&D team behind in a panic."

"Hahaha, you saw how awkward the place became after the light disks appeared, I had to run away." Robin laughed loudly and continued examining the soldiers in front of him with his slightly golden eyes and soul sense, "I understand their feelings, Those patterns are the most valuable treasure an intelligent person can obtain. It will push their research to be several times their speed and open the door to unlimited possibilities for them. What I saw today confirmed that Jabba and Old Gu did a good job gathering them, I'm sure they won't let me down."

"...Dad, Dad, what do you plan to do here today? Are you going to repeat the Warlord's experiment?!" Zara tugged Robyn's sleeve twice and asked excitedly

Ans she was not alone in her excitement, all the soldiers and Rune Masters standing in front of him had their eyes shining as well... As for the soldiers, they longed to regain that POWER again, and for the Rune Masters, participating in a project like this is a matter of pride that they will tell about to their great-grandchildren!

"This is the plan!" Robin laughed, then muttered with a smile, "But it seems we have an unexpected situation here."

"You've always had sharp eyes, Your Excellency. I was just about to tell you." Emily took a few steps to stand next to Robin

"What's going on?" Zara also began to act like Robin and pass on her spiritual sense to the soldiers in front of her

Robin laughed and shook his head, "Don't bother, my dear. All that matters is that Julian Barnett, the leader of the array, has already become a Martial Emperor, and 200 saints from the battalion members broke through to the Sagehood realm, so we now have an Emperor, 700 sages, and roughly 4,800 saints. I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed."

"Why are you so disappointed? Isn't this great news? Now the array will be stronger!" Zara clapped

"When a cultivator moves from one realm to another, he experiences a noticeable change in his body, and the energy he can use at one time becomes noticeably greater. I created a very delicate balance between saints and sages in order to create a warlord, and now this balance has been broken. We can turn a blind eye regarding Julian's situation since he is in control of the array and his being an Emperor will be a great boost, but this is a problem for the rest, if the balance is disturbed, the Warlord will not become stronger as you think, but will be incoherent and may collapse at any moment after its formation."

Robin's words not only frustrated Zara, who raised her lip in sorrow, but even the soldiers and Rune Masters began to sweat profusely. Julian only sighed a little in relief because he was afraid of being eliminated, but he was still nervous that the experiment would not be completed.

Headquarters Head Emily was also no better as she began to raise her glasses several times nervously, "I bear full responsibility for this act, Your Excellency. This is my fault because I did not monitor them well."

"...hmm?" The distracted Robin remained silent for a while before he understood what I said, so he looked at her, laughing and shaking his head, "What fault did you do? The number of sages in my army has increased at an excellent rate over the last five years. Even if they are an elite among the elite, this is still something to celebrate!"

"So about your talk about balance..." Emily asked worriedly

"That's easy, just gather me another 2,200 Saints." Robin waved with a smile, "I wanted to try a smaller-sized Warlord anyway."

"This... Your Excellency may not know, but there is a battle currently taking place in the Far East, and all our reserve forces are heading there. It will be a bit difficult to gather the two thousand sages..." Emily spoke in a low voice, clearly afraid of disrupting the Emperor's experiments.

"War in the Far East? Ah, no need to send reinforcements anymore." Robin laughed

"Your Excellency, please let me see the reports on the war first and then make your decision!" Emily spoke quickly. If these reinforcements were delayed, the Empire's presence on the planet Greenland might be wiped out.

"There is no need to worry, I took care of the matter there. You need to give orders for everyone to return to their camps, even the reinforcements of the local residents. Tell them to return to the border, and send an order to the army closest to us to abandon the military march and send us 2,200 saints as quickly as possible, according to the location of the nearest army that will respond to their arrival, they should be here in 5 hours maximum."

"...You took care of it? ...And how does your Excellency know the location of the nearest army?" Emily murmured in a low voice as if she were in a dream. The nearest army going for support was an army consisting of 50,000 soldiers whose mission was to protect the far west. It passed by the headquarters only half a day ago. If the two thousand Saints abandoned the military march and returned at full speed, they would actually come within 5 hours! This precision...

"Why are you still standing here?" Robin looked at Emily and raised his eyebrows

"I will go immediately!!" The sage regained her senses and moved toward the headquarters building quickly

Robin smiled when he saw her condition, then walked towards the Rune Masters, "Who is the most knowledgeable among you?"

"That-- That would be me, Your Excellency," a young man in his thirties came forward and bowed fully

"Hmm? You... you are from the Burton family, your name is... Carson Burton right? You were one of the people I taught the Runes to during my stay in Jura City! You survived the massacre!?" Robin was pleasantly surprised when he saw the young man in front of him, a big smile appearing on his face

"Yes, Your Excellency, I was one of the prisoners of the Flame Empire, and I am currently among the ten most senior living Rune Masters. I... I am honored that Your Excellency still remembers my name." Two teardrops fell from Carson to the floor

"Heh~ Every time I tried to forget the city, I found my mind digging up more and more details until I found myself remembering even the faces of random people I saw on the streets when I went to eat at Uncle Tim's restaurant, so how could I forget you? The human mind is truly amazing..."

Robin looked up slightly. Then he smiled at Carson again, "Good, good.. I'll deal with you then."

"Your wishes are my orders! What do you want from us, Your Excellency?" Carson dropped his bowing position and looked at his cousin with sparkling eyes

Robin smiled then took out a few scrolls and tossed them at Carson, "This is the modified Warlord Array. Nothing has changed from the tattoos currently drawn on the soldiers so we wouldn't start from scratch, there are only a few details I have added to eliminate some of the problems. I want you and the rest of your team to add these details to the soldiers as soon as possible, I also want you to upgrade the divine tattoos of the 200 new sages to be the version of the sages, and choose the strongest sage among them and draw on him The heart of the array, and when the 2,200 saints come after 5 hours, draw the new tattoos of the saints on them. When you finish, I want to have 7000 Saints, 700 Sages, and 2 Array Hearts inscribed with the new versions of the tattoos in front of me, Is something clear?"

"Clear!" Carson bowed down again as he embraced the scrolls, then took them towards his 100-man team of Rune Masters to assign the roles to them.

As for Robin, he nodded, then went to one of the relatively far corners in the hall, took out that scroll with the Terra beast drawn on it, and continued what he was doing a little while ago

This time there was no longer any need for him to interfere in making the Warlord.
