Pablo made Sera burn the tents of his soldiers.
Sera had obviously used Andrezj for that but that didn’t matter at the moment.
Pablo made this decision because he didn’t want his soldiers to have some kind of safe spot in the back of their mind. Burning the tent meant there was nowhere the soldiers could go to now.
Pablo had already told them that they had to fight continuously, continuously until they won the war.
And he had talked to them with such conviction, that the soldiers under Harlia also felt their blood boiling.
Harlia didn’t feel bad about it as in the end, these both armies were one. Also, Harlia liked Pablo’s idea so she too...
"Diablo! Burn our tents too!" Harlia ordered the same thing.
Diablo, the ninth Marshal nodded and snapped his fingers.
He didn’t have someone like Andrezj with him but he was enough to produce fire.
As a result, in a blink of an eye, all the tents were submerged with magma. They all were destroyed. Now in the Ashen Crucible, there were no tents of the Forza Kingdom. There would only be graves.
The soldiers were enraged and pumped as Pablo’s speech was effective.
Pablo couldn’t care less about Harlia’s soldiers as he only focused on his army.
His soldiers constantly chanted his name saying Victory to Pablo but Pablo would only like it if this came true.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t see the future and he didn’t make the soldiers’ enthusiasm die down.
He was facing all of them and after seeing that each one of them was ready to unleash havoc, he moved his pupils at Harlia.
He saw her talking with her soldiers and he didn’t want to waste any more time. It was high time for Pablo to do that.
So he let his soldiers be and walked towards the Admiral.
Harlia saw Pablo coming towards her so she stopped talking with her soldiers and addressed him.
Pablo didn’t make her wait and neither did he waste his time.
He simply stood in front of Harlia and reached out his hand.
Harlia frowned, stared at his hand and she just stared at it.
Pablo sighed. "I don’t usually do this but I don’t usually go to war either. So I am only doing this so as to help each other if something unexpected happens."
"Oh. Sure. You didn’t shake hands for all this time so I was surprised."
Harlia reached out her hand as well and like that, both Commanders shook hands.
But Pablo wasn’t shaking her hand for the reason he told her. He was only shaking her hand because she was the Admiral, she was strong and she had... a high ranked Ego.
And it was her Ego that mattered for Pablo.
[ Mimesis Malefica In Use! ]
[ Keep Holding the Target’s hand for five seconds! ]
[ Showing you the memories of the Target! ]
Images flashed inside Pablo’s mind and the man paid attention as well. He wouldn’t mind seeing the life of Admiral Harlia.
All of that stayed for five seconds, and after five seconds, the main notification arrived.
[ Ego Successfully Copied! ]
[ You can keep this Ego for Twelve Hours! ]
[ A large amount of life force would be taken from the Target! ]
Harlia and Pablo were holding each other’s hands and that’s when Pablo noticed that Harlia’s grip loosened and her eyes suddenly drooped.
"The fuck?" Harlia instantly shook her head and snapped back his hand from Pablo.
"Did you do something?" She asked.
Pablo acted confused. "What can I possibly do in such a short time? And why the hell would I do it to you?"
Harlia agreed with that and waved it as some effect of the Crucible and Pablo was already walking towards his soldiers again.
He had copied no Ego for all this time as he was waiting for the final day and he copied the Ego of the strongest person possible. Now he only hoped Harlia had an Ego that could also be used by Pablo.
He arrived in front of his soldiers as his back faced them and his eyes faced the scene ahead.
But before things could really start, Pablo decided to see the Ego he just copied.
He already had Sera’s Ego with him and he still had it for two more hours. After that, he would have to copy another Ego and he already had a target in mind. It would either be Boulder or Fozier. Whoever Pablo finds first and closer during the war, he would choose.
Anyway, he commanded the system to show the Ego he just copied and he was also kind of curious to see the Ego of the Admiral of the Abyssal Butchers. Someone who could rule over the ten Marshals, must have an Ego worthy of that.
The system window appeared in front of him. He read the details of Harlia’s Ego and his lips instantly found a smile.
It was just like Pablo expected and he would have fun with this during the war.
Also, apart from this, Pablo also had some more things to use but he would only use them if he got cornered. Which was very unlikely, but if it happened, then Pablo would use them.
Right now, the Forza kingdom’s army was ready and all of them were staring at the armies in front of them.
Just like Pablo stood in front of his army, Malvador was doing the same but right now, he was facing the soldiers and Pablo could only see the Vampire king’s back.
But no one disturbed anyone and Pablo wanted to see or hear what Malvador would say to his army. What kind of words an eighteen year old person bestows to an army of a kingdom.
Corrosive was also talking with his armie but Pablo gave no fuck to him and focused only on Malvador.
"Soldiers!" The Vampire King spoke. "I don’t have too many things to say to you. I don’t know what to say at times . I have only learned how to kill and fill my stomach with the blood and hearts of my enemies. It was also necessary as per the urges of my body and it was also a way to calm my bloodthirst of murder."
Pablo’s lips curled up even when Malvador wasn’t done yet.
The reason for that was...
Pablo had found something.
