Chapter 408 Taking The Step

*VOOOOOOO*

The sound of the war horn suddenly echoed in front of the army, which is estimated to number approximately four million soldiers, igniting enthusiasm in their hearts... They will finally do something that none of their predecessors have done before.

They are the ones who spent their lives thinking of defending their lands against wars with neighboring kingdoms or empires. Some of them even had relatives who were killed in internal wars between some local nobles!

But today.. they are standing shoulder to shoulder, going to conquer another world? This sounds like a fairy tale, but it is happening before their very eyes, they are steps away from getting what they want!

But...

"Gold Battalion, Divine Blacksmiths division, and Rune Masters division… Advance towards the Gate, Move your butts!!"

"Move, move!"

​ *bam bam bam*

The Golden Battalion began to turn and move along the wall, and then they were followed by a few thousand men in armor that looked bigger than them, but they all walked with the same steady steps and confident smiles barely visible from under their helmets.

But those smiles of theirs had broken the hearts of millions of other soldiers!

The intense enthusiasm and aspiration for what is coming suddenly collapsed in the army, and the rest of the four million soldiers began to look around them sadly and wondered with furrowed eyebrows and with apparent fear, 'Will they leave us behind?' and ' Why were we gathered here then?' or ' Will we not see that new planet?!' and And many other questions that were repeated in a low voice, but that low voice was not very low when four million people spoke it at the same time...

"Shut up!" Alexander used the Major Heavenly Law of the Wind Path to raise a voice and deliver it to the ears of all the soldiers, "His Majesty, His Excellency Robin Burton has decided to send the Golden Battalion, the Divine Blacksmiths Division, and the Rune Masters Division onto the new planet first in order to create a space portal. This will create a stable space channel between us and the new planet that will be safer for you and less expensive to transport you a lot... Continue your training and wait for your summoning time!"

"Hoo!" All the soldiers shouted at once and slammed their weapons on their shields hard enough to make a thunder-like noise, excited that their hope of seeing the New World had not been completely extinguished.

As for Robin, he ignored what was happening under the wall and watched the golden battalion as it moved further away from the city gate, then he asked in a voice heard by everyone, "I thought the gate was inside the imperial city...?"

"Master, after what happened in the City of Hope, I thought that you did not want to keep the Space Portal within the city limits, so I set it up a few kilometers away from here, but I paved roads between it and the city and leveled the ground around the Space Portal, turning it into huge spaces suitable for markets and barracks too, did I make a mistake about this?" Jabba responded quickly

"Hmm? Haha no no you did a good job as always Jabba, very good job! let's go towards the Space Portal with them then, we should move as soon as possible." Robin laughed and started to float

How could he not understand Jabba's train of thought? Making a direct channel between two space portals is very useful and reduces the time used for transportation, transportation costs, and the degree of stability of the space tunnel, but this works in both directions.

If enemies captured a space gate in another place and the coordinates of the space gate located inside the imperial city were to be known, a catastrophe would occur!

Even if the possibility of such a thing happening was very low, the Elders within the imperial city would always be nervous about the fact that such a huge space portal was inside the city, so why would he make it inside the city in the first place?

But Robin's flight away from the wall was interrupted after he heard a shout in Billy's voice, "Hui, won't Amon and the rest of the Demon Kings come? I mean... I was skeptical about why the Demon army hasn't shown up yet but it makes sense when thinking that you want to train your human troop further and makes more sense now that you want a few to scout first, but at least Amon, Sakar, and the rest Demon Kings should come with us, right? they would be a huge help to us in a such unfamiliar land!"

Robin hangs in the air for about two seconds before completing a flight, saying, "No, the Demons won't help this time, they have their own business to deal with, let's go!"

*swoosh*

*swoosh swoosh*

"....Eh?!" Billy stood in the back watching Robin and the rest move away in stupefaction

-----------

Ten kilometers north of the imperial city

*bzzzzzzt*

Robin raised his hand from the Space Portal Control Pane land looked behind him, then yelled at everyone using the Major Heavenly Law of the Wind, "I have entered the coordinates and activated the Space Portal, everything is ready for us to take the next step, but let me give you a little warning, I know most of you have used one of the space portals at least once during the last three years, all of you We are used to the secure space tunnels and instant transportation, but entering this space portal is unlike anything you've experienced before!

Here is what will happen... After you enter the space portal, your entire body will freeze, which means all the vital processes in your body will stop for days or even weeks until you reach the final destination, only your mind will remain active, but do not worry, you will reach the other side alive and in the same condition and position in which you entered the space portal, That is why I want all of you to take a defensive position before entering the space portal, and if some of you arrive before the rest, stay in the defensive position no matter what and wait until everyone arrives, understand?"

"HOO!" Everyone chanted at once, still excited but the dread of entering the space portal increased manifold after Robin's words.

Robin nodded once and then yelled again, "Good, Alexander, you lead the formation!"

"Yes!" Alexander replied quickly, but before heading towards the army to lead it, it seemed as if he remembered something, so he turned back and took a few steps towards Robin, then took out a box from his space ring and passed it to Robin, "I apologize to your Excellency, Seeing you after three years and our talk about the invasion, energy training techniques, and others important topics made me forget to give you this box earlier."

"Hmm? What is this?" Robin accepted the box and asked

"A complete armor set! In terms of strength, this complete armor set was made of better materials than the armor of the golden army, and in terms of appearance, although it is also golden in color it's not like the rest, the most famous designers of the planet Jura participated in designing its shape to manifest your greatness. It is also lined with soft materials to make it comfortable to wear as if it were regular clothes. We are sure that your Excellency will like it!"

Alexander paused for a moment when he saw Robin inspecting the box then added hurriedly, "We know Your Excellency is not accustomed to wearing armor, especially a full set, but we kindly ask you to make a small exception just this time and wear it to ensure your safety after we are sure the new planet is safe you can take it off again if you like."

"Oh? How thoughtful, It seems that you lot didn't forget about me heh~" Robin let out a short laugh and then said, "Okay, let's move on."

Alexander nodded and then flew to stand right in front of the gate and shouted, "First Company, follow me!"

*Bam Bam Bam*

Alexander advanced first and entered the space portal, raising his shield as Robin recommended, then a thousand golden soldiers entered behind him

Then Elizabeth, Victoria, and Caesar entered, followed by ten thousand golden soldiers, then finally Peon, Zara, and Jabba, and the rest of the Generals, and after them, the rest of the soldiers followed, and then finally the divine blacksmiths and Rune Masters Division also advanced.

*Deep Inhale*

Robin stood alone after everyone left, his heart pounding like a hammer as he looked at the space portal's ethereal effect

His eyes were not filled with dread of the unknown or excitement resulting from the thought of what he might face like the rest of his generals and soldiers.

His eyes were filled with guilt... and fright!

He stood there for a few minutes helplessly, then clenched his hands and teeth until he started to bleed.

Then he took the armor set out of the box and put it on quickly, not caring about its appearance or the materials in it, but from his nervousness, he put on a few pieces out of their places and had to re-wear them while shouting in a panicked voice, "Fuck! F*ck!! F*ck!!!"

"Haa... Hoo... Haa... Hoo... cheer up, it's something you have to do... something you have to do..."

After a few more minutes, he finally took an extra step and disappeared into the ethereal space…
