Chapter 608 The gift
*Shhh~~*
As if the blood inside the soldiers' veins was boiling, the air temperature rose dramatically
Caesar looked around, laughing like crazy... Raiden, who was not far from him, was shouting at the top of his voice and stabbing the lightning shaft upwards, with tears filling his eyes. Even Elizabeth and the rest of the officers were following the example of the youngsters!
The sound of the soldiers' cries accompanied by the sound of their weapons hitting the ground and the banging of their shields, the fervor and thirst for blood that was palpable in the air...
On the other hand, the locals' union army is still in shock, as if they are thinking about what they should do now. The appearance of the legendary Emperor, Robin the Conqueror, in this way, shook them to the core, and his words destroyed all their plans.
Caesar started laughing loudly and held his halberd with both hands as if he was squeezing it, 'That old man doesn't like to talk a lot, but when he does, things happen...'
The situation on the battlefield had completely changed with a few words from his adoptive father. Maybe they didn't have to wait for support anymore. This massive morale support might enable them to force their enemies to retreat even if they were ten times their numbers!!
"My soldiers!! I know that you will not let me down. Kill them all today and the resistance will be broken forever. Slay Labikan today and no Tree Father will raise his head up again again!" Robin spoke more words that made the blood boil within his soldiers' veins, and at the same time, the clouds forming on his face were beginning to dissipate.
"Long live the True Beginning Empire! Long live the Emperor!!"
"Long live the True Beginning Empire! Long live the Emperor!!"
And just before the clouds completely dissipated, Robin delivered this sentence: "Accept this small gift from me to you, and use it well."
*Shheee~*
In the moments when Robin's face disappeared from the sky, eyes returned to the ground again, and what the Union Army soldiers saw was not pleasing at all.
The soldiers of the Empire were grinding their teeth as if they were hungry beasts who had not seen meat for years. Those soldiers who had been panting with fatigue a few minutes ago were now holding their heavy weapons as if they were feathers, and their tired faces that had not seen rest for three days were transformed into the faces of Demons who would only be satisfied by shedding blood.
The killing intent in the air was dense enough to be seen, it could be said that it was tangible from how heavy it was
The soldiers of the Empire began to take small steps forward. It was clear that they were trying to break the defensive formation and attack their enemies, but they were waiting for a signal from their leaders...
Indeed, Caesar, Elizabeth, and the rest of the leaders began to gather to develop a plan to break the formation and go out to attack!!
On the other hand, the Union soldiers remained in their positions, ignoring orders to advance, and automatically began to assume defensive positions.
Morale in wars is a strange thing, but it is no less important than numbers and equipment, and whoever wins the morale war has won half the war.
"What are you doing, men? Have you already surrendered? Are you going to let these invaders take your land and kill your children? A few words are enough to deter you?" An old Sage flew in front of the Union soldiers and began to preach, "We, the Palm Mountain tribe, will never retreat. We will die before we allow the invaders to leave here alive!"
"Southern Wolf Tribe, prepare to attack again!!"
"We will bury the invaders here, let Emperor Robin prepare for hell--!!!"
*PAAM*
At this moment, something strange happened. All of the Empire's soldiers felt heavy for a moment before that feeling quickly disappeared
Even Caesar and the rest, who were floating in mid-air preparing a counterattack plan, quickly fell a few meters to the ground before regaining their balance.
"Did you feel what I felt?"
"What was that?"
The Emperor's soldiers seemed to forget the battle cries for a moment and began to wonder what had happened
And they are not the only ones who are distracted. The sounds coming from the Union Army are still shouting, but they are not battle cries and threats as they were a moment ago, Rather, they seem to be... cries of pain.
"ARRRRGGH!!"
"My body... my body... move, DAMN IT!!"
"Come on!" Caesar, Raiden, and the rest of the generals flew toward the outskirts of the formation to see what was happening, and the sight caused their jaws to drop!
The army, made up of about 30 million soldiers, was suffering at this moment.
Some of them were cursing loudly while trying to walk with difficulty, and some of them were trying to move from their spot but it seemed as if they were stuck in quicksand, and some of the weak ones among them directly fell on their faces!
"This..?" Elizabeth muttered and looked sideways, this change was very sudden
But Caesar remembered something and quickly raised his left hand, then started laughing loudly, "Hahaha, look at the Rune on the left-hand shield."
"It's activated?!" Raiden asked in surprise, this was the first time he noticed the Rune on the left-hand shield
"Yes, there is no doubt, it is activated and draws energy from me automatically."
"What is this Rune?"
Caesar put his hand behind his back and looked at the enemy army with a big smile, "It's a Gravity Rune that my adoptive father created in order to protect us in case the gravity in Greenland was much higher than the planet Jura. It was in the form of a bracelet at first, but when the golden body armor project started, the bracelet was integrated with the left-hand shield, but because we had no need to use it, we completely forgot about it..."
"Are you saying he...?" One of the officers understood something and went back to look at what was happening in front of them
"Yes... The Major Heavenly Law of Gravity has increased several folds for some reason. This is the only reason the Gravity Rune would activate automatically." Caesar nodded, smiling from ear to ear, "Haha, I thought the gift my father talked about was the morale he gave to our soldiers, but I still underestimate that old man a lot!"
