Liora divided the 200,000 soldiers into two equal forces. To ensure fairness, Ember allowed the enemy leader, who was a Peak Sovereign Stage being and one of the strongest of Velcria, to choose any of the two forces first, and she would take the other one.
An offer the enemy leader accepted.
"...Do you think her ability is as strong as she says?"
Elaris, the Sylvanix Leader, questioned with a doubtful look on her face as she glanced at the other two leaders, mainly at Liora. She wasn't expecting a normal answer from Kaclgran; the Stoneborn wasn't thinking clearly today and seed agitated for so
reason.
"We will fin-"
"It will."
Before Liora could speak, Kaelgran interrupted and nodded with a confident look on his face.
The two leaders turned towards him with a frown; the answer was completely different from what this man would usually say.
What happened to him?
As if knowing what they were thinking, the Stoneborn glanced at the rcenaries with a solemn look on his face as he continued,
"Those won are much stronger than we thought."
"What...?"
The two Primordials narrowed their eyes.
"Do you rember when I used my Aura to suppress Granson, my son?"
The Primordials nodded.
Kaelgran then pointed at Rune, who was sitting together with the rest of her sisters, and said,
"That girl was near Granson when I used my Aura. Even if I didn't intentionally target her, she should have still felt the suppression from my Law of Self.
At the very least, she should have fallen on her knees if not directly collapsed on the ground like Granson did.
But...
My Aura didn't even faze her.
That woman didn't even renot to it
"What...?"
Liora couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"A Sovereign didn't even react to a Primordial's Aura...?"
"How is that possible...?"
Elaris blinked in disbelief.
"..."
Kaelgran, however, had no answer to this question and simply stared at the scene unfolding in front of him, not even wanting to think about what happened before. Especially not the ti where he was antagonizing these won...
"Soldiers of Velcria,
You have taken the first step toward sothing extraordinary.
In this mont, you are not just soldiers-you are pioneers.
The vanguard of change.
The vanguard of victory.
You are the proof of Velcria's resolve.
I am not sugar-coating this; you might think the task before us is monuntal, but if you follow , you would barely need a few hours to end this all."
Ember, still hovering in the air, glanced at the 100,000 soldiers who had co to her side and started addressing them.
For her Law to activate, she needed loyalty. It wouldn't work just because she had soldiers on her side. Ember needed to connect with these soldiers and make them accept her as their leader.
'You know... this would be much simpler if she uses a Slave Seal...'
Aisha couldn't help but speak, finding all of this exhausting.
You think they would allow that?"
Thyra questioned.
"If we ask them nicely, maybe?"
Aisha tilted her head.
'Nicely?
We wish to enslave your soldiers, pretty please-
Do you think that works?'
Thyra spoke in a sarcastic tone.
'It doesn't, but what if,
Let us montarily enslave your soldiers, and we will end the war with minimal
casualties.
I think this would work.
Also, we aren't asking to enslave all their soldiers, just the 100,000 given to Ember, and
it would all be montary. Once Ember's Law shows its might, these people would
submit on their own.
The Slave Seal won't be needed.
Aisha's words were convincing.
However,
'She won't do that unless necessary!
Astaria shook her head.
The Swordswoman then stared at Ember and said,
'She is a General. She knows how to connect with the soldiers. Taking command isn't
new for her.
Give her ti and let her do what she wants.
This is the place where she shines the brightest.
The rest of the won stared at Ember and nodded with light smiles on their faces.
"I understand you may still harbor doubts about .
You've served under other leaders, fought countless battles, and endured losses I
cannot even begin to quantify.
But know this: I do not take your loyalty for granted.
I do not see you as numbers to wield or pawns to move.
To , each one of you is a shield that defends Velcria, a blade that strikes for Velcria's
future, and I intend to bring you together to turn you into an unstoppable force that.
would crush enemies into pieces, overwhelmingly.
My Law strengthens those who follow , yes, but that is not where my faith lies. My faith lies in you. In your skills, your tenacity, and your unwavering will.
I am not here to replace those qualities but to magnify them.
So today, we will train.
We will prepare.
We will forge ourselves into sothing your enemies will never anticipate and will
never forget.
Tomorrow, we will show Velcria what it ans to stand united, not just in na, but
in spirit and purpose.
This is more than a demonstration.
It is the dawn of sothing greater.
I have already revealed what my powers can do; the only thing I need is your loyalty.
And now, I demand your loyalty-not for myself, but for Velcria and its future. Pledge yourselves fully, without hesitation, and I will give you the strength to conquer,
Stand with , and together, we will make history.
Stand with , and together, we will show the enemies what it ans to be a
Velcrian."
Ember then took out her sword and pointed at the force standing in front of her,
"This is the first step.
The step where you help prove myself and set the foundation for Velcria's victory
against Tandris.
So step forward and,
Crush them."
*BOOOOOOM*
Ember spoke as she then released her overwhelmingly strong Aura.
The soldiers under her command were already motivated by her words. However, the
instant she released her Aura, sothing within them stirred. Ember's words echoed
in their heads and,
"ATTACK!!!!"
No one knew who scread at first, but as he did, the rest of the soldiers started
following as well.
"ATTACK!!!"
"YEAHHHHH!!!!"
"FOR VELCRIA!!!"
The soldiers rushed forward.
Ember, who was hovering in the air, felt connected with the soldiers, and the mont
she felt it, a smile appeared on her face.
The Law of Boundless Unity.
It was working. Yes, even now, not all soldiers had truly submitted to her; in fact, most of them had
doubts in their heads.
But it didn't matter.
15,000 out of the 100,000 soldiers had decided to follow her and were now connected
with her through the Law of Boundless Unity.
'Let's do this, shall we?'
Ember chuckled.
I am waiting for you to shine, my Dragon-
The General then heard Nux's voice in her head, and her smile widened even further.
She then raised her hand, activating the Law of Boundless Unity, and,
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
The Aura of those 15,000 soldiers exploded, rising drastically.
