Chapter 905: Defying the World
Robb stood at the front of the coalition forces and looked from a distance at the observation platform where the Hero King stood.
Just moments ago, the two of them had met in the capital city, but at that time, the Hero King didnt know that the person in front of him was Robb. Thus, he couldnt perceive the aura Robb exuded. But now, looking at him, Robb appeared to be standing before an army of ten thousand, his demeanor resolute, his gaze fixed upon the worlds heroes with an air of indomitable might. Indeed, he looked quite impressive.
This goes to show that the so-called aura on a person is a result of their status. If an old man doesnt tell you hes an influential leader, you might think hes just a regular old man. Its because you know his status beforehand that you perceive an air of authority about hima sense that every word he speaks holds profound meaning, every movement he makes is marked by wisdom.
Descending from the observation platform, the Hero King walked out of the camp and stood before Robb.
Robb chuckled, while the Hero King wore a stern expression, remaining silent for a while.
After a few seconds, the Hero Kings voice resounded sternly, Dont think that by killing the Demon Lord and the pope, we will back down, surrender, or acknowledge you as our leader. The spirit of my Kingdom of Norma dictates that even in death, we will stand and fight against formidable foes to the end.
Robb smirked, and the Hero King maintained a serious demeanor, Unless you think Im your enemy, you shouldnt even consider attacking me.
Robb responded, Ive never been anyones enemy. Unless someone treats me as such.
The Hero King retorted, Who knows? Perhaps youre smiling now, but the next moment you might have an evil grin. Throughout history, there are countless individuals who exhibit such duplicity. Ive just encountered a pope like that, so why would I easily trust you? Instead of gambling on whether youre a good person or not, its better to hold my own destiny in my hands.
Robb grinned, Well, is this how kings act?
His tone shifted, Bring it on!
The Hero King unslung a massive double-handed sword from his back and thrust it into the ground
Behind him, a multitude of archbishops from the Church of Light, a multitude of archbishops from the Church of Darkness, several Great Demons and a multitude of Demon Generals from the Demon Kings Army, and the last two leaders of the desert kingdoms rebel forces all walked forward.
The Hero King exclaimed loudly, Youre actually helping him? He seized control of your Westwind City, disregarded your royal status, and blatantly usurped your throne, undermining your kingdom.
The Queen smiled, Initially, my perspective was just like yours. But later, I realized, my small Kingdom of Gran doesnt even register on his radar. Why would he bother seizing it?
The Hero King remained silent.
The Queen declared, Hes fighting for his beliefs, for the salvation of humanity, while all of you are obstructing him, merely to retain your own power. Someone like him should not be without allies! So, if the entire world wishes to be his enemy, whats stopping my Kingdom of Gran from departing from this world? Im determined to stand by his side.
As the Queen spoke, her words rang with conviction. Then, from within the portals, emerged the Court Mages of the Kingdom of Gran, the Black Earth Knights, the Ardent Flame Knights, the Trembling Ice Knights, the Wind Knights, the Thunder Knights, and the White Lion Knights. They assembled, facing the opposing forces from this side.
Robb turned his head and smiled at the Queen. You troublesome woman
The Queen also smiled. Whats wrong? Unhappy that Im lending a hand?
Robb chuckled. Happy! But actually, theres someone else willing to help me too.
The crowd showed a hint of curiosity.
Robb looked up and addressed the Sphinx standing before the rebel forces of the Desert Kingdom. Hey, Lion, which side are you really on?
The Sphinx retorted angrily, Im not a lion!
Details dont matter, Robb laughed. Youre well aware of everything happening in the desert. You should know why I came to the Desert Kingdom and what Im preparing. You are the guardian of the desert, your duty is to protect this expanse of sand, not to vie for power and profit, isnt that right?
The Sphinx fell silent. After a few seconds, it suddenly leaped up, its colossal form streaking through the air. It landed beside Robb and turned to face the opposing coalition. Very well, Ill help you!
