BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 Tears Of Joy And Terror
In the days that followed the surrender of the Rufus family, there were much more than just Robin\'s romance problems.
But the winds of change hit everyone.
General David divided his army into battalions of ten thousand soldiers each and deployed them in every corner of the lands of the Tawi family and clean it.
On their way to the capital they took a straight line and subdued just a few cities, so their task this time was to subdue the rest of the cities and the minor nobles in the lands and to search for everything bearing the name *Tawi* to send him to work forever in the mines or to sell him as a slave... no one was safe in this campaign
As for patriarch Brian, things went better with him after the saints and the knights of the Rufus family agreed to take the oath in Jura City under the supervision of Billy Burton, and leave their families under the patriarch\'s *protection* until they come back
And everything went smoothly after they did...
They all returned from the Jura family as loyal and eternal followers of the Burton family - whether they liked it or not - and their new representative Julius Rufus began to inform the Patriarch of every great matter and small detail in his lands, and revealed to him all the secrets of the family and cities without holding a tiny bit back
Seeing their sincerity, Patriarch Brain returned them their families, stopped any kind of arresting or execution activities, and even gave them the secondary law technique that Robin made for their followers, and reassured them that the position of the head of their family - Marquess - would remain the same,
and even ordered to have the lands of the Tawi family be under their temporary control as well!
As for Peon, with the tremendous help that Robin provided him in terms of money and men, his mission went smoothly.
He sent advertisements and posters for the entire Duchy of Bradley saying that he was willing to buy anyone that pear the family name Camden at ten times the price of an ordinary slave, and he sent Knights of the Wind legion to investigate every slave market and each slave merchant,
and he even sent a small army to the former Camden lands as they began to search for more of his kin.
And with this, he managed to gather more than 4,000 sons for the Camden family without using much time, and there are still indications that he will gather even more!
long separated sons and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sister, finally managed to meet again
But after the initial hugs and cries of joy, terror struck their hurts...
the first reaction of the members of the Camden family when they found their masters hurrying to sell them and gather them in one place, is that the Rufus family regretted turning them into slaves and wanted to thoughtfully annihilate every single one of them
But even though, none of them did something about it... there was not a single knight or a saint among them, as they all died in that battle, and many of them had their wills broken after living as slaves for more than a decade...
they just wanted to enjoy each other\'s company till the slaughter day... but it never came
Finally able to manage some time off, Peon visited the camp and announced his identity and that they are all safe and under his protection as the wind legion commander, and under the protection of the whole Burton family.
all of them went dumbstruck, they have been living as slaves in the Duchy of Bradley for nearly 15 years and know full well what the name Burton means,
and they also heard about the legendary fire, wind, and darkness legions that became extremely famous lately, and one of them was the commander of one of the three legions? this was too good to be true!
Peon kept looking around him, looking into the eyes of his family members... but only seeing self depreciation and ridicule, no hope and terror even after his announcement
It made his heart ache... this is the consequence of being enslaved for too long... their spirits are broken
But things got much better when some of the high class members of the family recognized Peon and affirmed his identity as their Prince
extreme confusion then extreme joy struck them hard as they started weeping loud... It was all over now.
For them, the tragedy of this family has finally reached its end...
but in Peon\'s heart, he knew he would have been like them if his master didn\'t buy him first... he swore in his heart to return them their lost pride.
Happy with the results and busy interacting and reassuring his long lost kin, Peon even forgot that he got permission to hunt down and kill who hurt him back then...
Days passed slowly but full of events
And on the day that marked the passage of an entire month since the end of the conquest of the two Marquess families...
The Burton family\'s army disappeared into darkness without warning.
-----------------------
A few days later - far east of the Duchy of Alton
"Hahaha, welcome back, Patriarch!" Saint David stood up to greet the patriarch after entering the commander\'s tent above the hill
"Tsk~ Next time you are the one going for the faraway missions, I\'m too old for this! haha" The patriarch also chuckled and shook hands with David, then turned to look to the side, "you brat, why did you request to gather the entire army here again at full speed? Do you have information that we will receive another invasion?"
A few days ago, Robin contacted the Patriarch and Saint David and told them to gather all the forces and gather with him as soon as possible, but he did not give reasons.
"Hehe you look nice too, uncle, you came at the right time, I will explain everything to you... but won\'t you introduce us to your friend?" Robin smiled, looking at the people who entered behind the patriarch
Some of them are the Saints from the Burton family who went with him, but one of them is an unfamiliar man that he sees for the first time,
A handsome looking middle-aged man with sharp-sided mustaches, and his aura is undoubtedly the strongest in this tent... a level 28 Saint!
"Aha, this one?" The patriarch took two steps back and put his hand on the stranger\'s shoulder, " Let me introduce you.. this is Julius Rufus, the current patriarch of the glorious Rufus family... Little brother Julius, this is Robin Burton I spoke to you about."
"Robyn Burton… Oh no no, I mean Your Excellency, Robin Burton…" Julius advanced and gave a small bow, "I\'ve always wondered how the Burton family could move their army with the intention of annihilating us because we had shown intent to kill two young men,
I kept asking myself why would the Burtons become absolute enemies with us when there was no harm done, but when Brother Brian told me about your other identity I finally understood... Fate has played its game on Maximus and his son, They were sentenced to death since they chose you as a target."
"Wait Wait, who do you call brother, little boy?" The patriarch laughed, "Don\'t believe him, everyone, Julius Rufus is still not over 500 years old yet, he is a real genius and surely he\'ll reach the pinnacle of sainthood one day! call me big brother, or uncle, you kid! haha"
"Oh? Looks like the Rufus family would have gone through a change of leadership even if we don\'t get involved then... There\'s no need for formalities, Marquess, we are all on the same side now, maybe that game of fate on your former patriarch will benefit your family even more in the future." Robin laughed in return,
but then his face suddenly froze and asked, "But may I ask what are you doing in this tent?"
Julius Rufus smiled, "I\'m here for the same reason you said, Your Excellency, I\'m here for a better future... we have already sworn allegiance to the Burton family for a thousand years, and we decided that we will do it in the best way possible... just hope Your Excellency won\'t be stingy with us and will grant us this opportunity."
