"...Is this the flag of the True Beginning Empire?" Robin asked suddenly as he pointed to a huge flag erected in front of the army and exclaid. Seeing it made him ignore even the appearance of the army, which looked like a piece of patched clothing from above.
The flag had a completely black background, with a circular shape drawn on it, most of that circular figure was blue, and there were 6 scattered brown pieces in it. The borders of that circular shape radiated in golden color, and that circular figure was pierced through by a sword and a hamr.
Billy laughed proudly, "Haha, yeah this is our flag, What do you think? Great, huh? It was who recomnded it."
Rubin rubbed his chin for a few seconds as he contemplated the flag, "…..this circle symbolizes the planets belonging to the True Beginning Empire, the sword symbolizes the destruction of the old order and the hamr symbolizes the reform we will bring about… Good. But, it kind of reminds of my speech at the Green Hill a little bit…?"
"Ahahaha," Caesar laughed out loud, "that's what we all told him when he showed the flag but he insisted it was his idea!"
*pufft*
Small chuckles were heard along the tent, the flag did indeed get the approval of everyone as it describes Robin's vision, but Billy didn't admit it until now!
"Shut up, I'm the one who translated the speech into a flag, so it's my idea!" Billy stood up and cried
"And as for the uniform?" Robin wasted no ti and continued with his first question, "You had ti to design a flag but you let the army wear 6 different colors? Look at it, it looks like an army of rcenaries and commoners. We are supposed to go to another planet like this? even the mortals' primary schools have uniforms!"
Old Gu stood up and put his hand on his chest, "Your Excellency, we could have standardized army uniforms of course, but these armors and weapons are the best we can offer, it is the high-quality equipnt that our empires have accumulated over tens of thousands of years, if we put it aside for lesser quality uniforms, this will greatly harm the strength of your Exlency's army."
Robin furrowed his brows, "What happened to the divine weapons? There are many blacksmiths appearing every day, especially in your Fla Continent, although the number of blacksmiths is less than I initially expected, by my estimation, there should be at least a million divine armants available by today."
Old Gu looked at the ground further, "Your Excellency is right, unfortunately, the profession of making divine weapons has not yet attracted enough blacksmiths, and even those who have entered it are still in the learning stage and have not yet acquired enough skill to make them finish their work quickly enough, for this the total number of divine weapons has arrived Almost one million two hundred thousand.
We had already started distributing weapons to them and the number of Divine Equipnt users in the army had reached about four hundred thousand! but we quickly co to agree that the mbers of the True Beginning Empire's army needed a full set of Divine Armor and Weapons, As arming one veteran with a full Divine Kit was better than arming dozens of ordinary soldiers. After completing the calculations, we found that each elite mber would need more than 16 pieces of divine equipnt.
That is why we stopped arming soldiers randomly and focused on creating a small army of elites first. With this ntality, we were soon able to produce an amount of divine equipnt sufficient to fully arm 50,000 individuals. We used those weapons and armor to equip the special forces of the Burton family, which amounted to 35,000 Saints, and this choice was because they are the only ones among us who have real experience in major battles. We also equipped most of the Sages in Planet Jura World as well with a total number of 15,000 Sages, bringing the total number to 50,000 soldiers, a small army of pure elites! May your Excellency have a look at them, they are standing there dressed in gold."
Robin followed Old Gu's motion towards the squad standing behind quietly, the design of the heroic armor that shimred like gold in the sunshine, was extrely eye-catching, but that's not all...
This was the first ti that Robin saw a person fully ard from his hair to his toenails with divine armants!
the golden body armors, giant shields, and long halberds at the front line were especially eye-catching
And this was also the first ti that he saw a battalion where Sages lined up in uniform and awaiting orders as if they were ordinary soldiers!!
Even without that battalion initially releasing their auras, the pressure emitting from them forced the rest of the army to stay clear of at least two hundred ters away from them in all directions just to be able to breathe soundly.
Old Gu then continued directly, "We chose the golden one because it befits the greatness of Your Majesty's empire, I hope you won't have any complaints in this regard… As for producing for the rest of the army, I'm afraid that producing a divine weapon sufficient for more than three million huge soldiers would require a few more years, even if I forced all the people of the Fla Continent to take up this profession…"
"Fifty thousand, ha…" Robin parted his chin for a few seconds as he looked at his small golden army, then suddenly nodded, "Not bad, this battalion will be enough to scout our new destination, send them to the Space Portal, We will move now."
"What? Only Them?!" Caesar shouted suddenly
"Your Excellency, this battalion is indeed fully ard with the Divine Weapon and is much stronger than the rest, but they are not the only ones who can enter the battle! We can move your entire army now!!" Old Gu took a step forward and shouted
Robin turned to face the rest on the wall and shook his head, "No, that's not the problem, I'd choose an army of similar size to go first anyway, and we'd take a few thousand inscription masters and Divine Weapon smiths with us as well, after arriving we'd choose a good place to defend and build A space portal to connect with the space portal of the imperial city here, maybe build a castle around it as our base there… while the rest of the army will stay here ready for the mont the space portal opens from the other side, then they can co after us and start the real invasion."
"...Can't we all just go?" Caesar scratched his head and asked
"This would be very unwise. First of all, we do not know anything about the nature of the planet and its inhabitants. Taking the strongest group in the army first ans ease of movent and the highest survival rate. With only fifty thousand soldiers, we can occupy a small place out of sight and start erecting the space portal without being disturbed, but if we took the whole army, almost four million soldiers, this would be a huge draw to the eyes and a waste of resources and food. most of them would probably die before we know where we are...
Secondly, our primary purpose in conquest is resources and not blind killing. It may be that the inhabitants of that planet are peaceful and do not want to fight and choose to allow us to take whatever we want by establishing trade relations. Wouldn't this be the most appropriate possible outco? Therefore, taking our entire army there would not only be wasting resources in vain but would also be a direct provocation to them and might waste the opportunity for peaceful communication..." Robin shook his head again and replied
"Hehe, I don't think you should worry about the resource issue." Billy chuckled
"Hmm? What do you an?" Robin looked at him and asked
Billy continued with a smile, "Ryan Bryan is back with the rest of the family from the Nihari world, guess how much energy he brought us..."
"...eleven million?" Robin furrowed his brows and asked, as long as Billy asked happily, then surely that group had more success than expected.
Billy tilted his back forward slightly and spoke solemnly, "It is 37 million energy pearls."
"...Really? Does that clan want to make things right with or sothing…?" Robin was shocked upon hearing the number
In fact, he had decided from the beginning that he would go to the new planet with a relatively small army to protect him while asking for trade with the natives at the sa ti
His asking for the 10 Million pearls from the sect was only to know when are they standing now and knowing their intentions considering him, he thought that taking ten million from them would be good enough as a test, but they actually gave away 37 million?!
