After a few minutes--
Fugon raised his hand, ordering the army behind him to stop completely, then he looked at the thousand or so Sages around him and chose only twenty of them, including himself and his daughter Ellis.
"Hmm? What's wrong? There is indeed no room for your whole army but the rest of your Sages can come in too, come, come, What are you waiting for?" Elizabeth, who was standing in front of the sole gate of the metal wall, gestured for them to follow
"Sages?" Fugon asked
"Seems like she meant us, the users of the third stage of the Laws." One of the Sages approached him and spoke in a low voice
"Uh...? No, no thanks, this number will be enough, we don't want to be heavy guests hehe." Fugon forced an ugly laugh out of his mouth and gestured for those he chose to come forward with him toward the gate
Allowing a neutral army of over 3 million soldiers to come up all the way to the gate was suspicious enough, but now they wanted to bring all their sages into the heart of the camp. If this isn't suspicious, then what is?
If it was up to Fugon, he would turn around now and order his army to go back at least twenty kilometers and wait there, but it was too late...
He is not the only one who thinks like this, the rest of the twenty members of the entourage looked around with fearful eyes and foreheads filled with sweat.
Everyone here was a Sage of the Northern Fury tribe, and they all saw the strength of this golden army firsthand, and now that they knew their leader's plan, their hearts could not help but start beating like war drums.
Not one of them was sure whether this violent pounding was motivated by excitement or fear, but it didn't matter now…
Only the rat, the crow, and the hoopoe looked around with awe, contemplation, and even some astonishment, and focused their eyes, especially on the guards standing on top of the metal fence... This was the first time they saw a member of the Golden Battalion.
"At your convenience, then, the important thing is to come in quickly, otherwise we will miss an enjoyable experience!" Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders a little, then signaled for them to come in quickly
*Gulp*
Fugon swallowed his saliva and began advancing towards the gate with his companions, preparing himself psychologically for what he would find inside.
"Get ready," Fugon muttered in a low voice and squeezed Ellis' hand.
Will he find an ambush ready to kill them? Maybe he finds that crazy Robin sitting on a throne and wants him to kneel down to him? That golden army must still hold a grudge against him for pushing them back so many times, how would they receive them? ...Will there even be a chance to negotiate today?!
"Hahaha, I haven't taken a vacation in months!"
"Finally that damned portal is finished, I want at least two years off!"
"Pour, pour!"
"Long live the Genius Rune Masters Division! Haha!"
"Long live the Divine Blacksmiths Division! Damn you you weak painters!!"
"Hui, come here boss, I left your cup for you! Haha."
Fugon and the rest stood there as soon as they passed the gate as if they had forgotten that they had to walk... Their wild imaginations collapsed.
On the right, there is a celebration of some kind, there are about ten thousand people of different sizes and shapes, some of them are dwarfs with thick beards, some of them with long limbs and sparkling black eyes, and some of them are just ordinary humans like themselves... They all drink and cheer with joy as they exchanged cups and grilled eat, and even some small quarrels were taking place here and there, but they did not affect the general atmosphere.
Then on the left, there is what looks like a giant kitchen in the open air, no less than twenty thousand people are cutting huge beasts and grilling them, and some of them are cooking vegetables they have not seen before in giant pots, it seems as if they are preparing lunch for millions of mouths...
"Hey, look over there!" One of the Sages next to Fugon pointed in a certain direction
"Hmm?!?!" When everyone looked in that direction, they found what looked like a small garden, but what was strange about it was that the plants and trees in that garden were growing at a crazy speed, As soon as the fruits are harvested or one of the plants is cut, another will immediately grow in its place...
'This is like what the Tree Fathers do!' Everyone thought
Then they looked ahead a little on either side of the hill, Thousands of humans all sitting in front of their tents and each looking up at the sky to meditate or play chess with their fellows, all without their famous Golden Full Budy Armors!
The only ones on the hill who are still wearing their armor and dealing professionally are the guards standing on top of the wall and a few people standing beside a huge metal arch at the top of the hill!
".....What the hell is going on here?!"
The dread and anticipation that filled Fugon and his comrades were gone in an instant and were replaced by a deep sense of humiliation!!
"Brother Fugon, Are these the ones you're so terrified of? Are these the ones you have made a thousand scenarios on how to deal with them? Kekeki you really opened my eyes today!" The fat rat got up on its hind legs, grabbed its belly with its upper hands, and laughed loudly.
"...Not all of them are strong like you mentioned, most of them do seem strong enough to use the second or even the Third Stage of the Heavenly Laws, but the drunk people over there are obviously weaker, they must be the rest of the army that the new Tribe Chief Robin spoke of threatening you with, that's why he didn't show them from the beginning, because their existence is the same as their non-existence!" The hoopoe pointed its wings towards the two teams of the Divine Blacksmiths and the Rune Masters
Then the crow shook its head, "Fugon, you really overestimated them… You were talking exaggeratedly about the power of the golden armor and weapons, but none of them are wearing them now, if you attack now we might not need Tree Father Hoffenheim's intervention, what if he has forty thousand Strong soldiers then? You yourself have about 48,000 Stage two Law users and 2,000 Stage 3 Law users, your army will annihilate them all at your signal."
"They are right, father. I don't know if they were blinded by their arrogance or if their hiding under the ground for so long made them lose their common sense, but now is the time to strike!" Ellis pulled her father's sleeve and spoke excitedly
Fugon looked at his daughter who was almost begging him to make a decision, then at the rest of the offended Sages and the Three little animals who looked at him with a look of mockery and disdain.
Then he turned his eyes back to look at the back of Elizabeth who was walking in front of them, with eyes filled with hatred and anger, while the ground under his feet slowly began to crack…
