Amongst those people were even so EDA Generals that chose to stay behind, which really surprised Maria, but she didn't change her cold expression.
And although the strongest of the Generals had reached the rank of Star Nine as well, just like her, dared be arrogant in front of Maria's gaze.
"Your Commanding General has worked extrely hard to make sure everyone has a chance of living, yet you decided that you were staying behind? Do you not appreciate everything she's done for you?"
Hearing that, most of the soldiers looked down in embarrassnt. They could all see the scenes all around them; titans of ocean bodies and massive mountings were crushing angels under their fists.
Everyone knew that their existence wasn't going to make much of a difference. Furthermore, everyone knew that what they were seeing now was only the beginning. The danger their Commanding General has warned them about was going to arrive soon!
Only those who had reached the rank above Star One were qualified to join the coming battle. Needless to say, out of those three million soldiers, only a handful had reached that rank. Not only that, but those handful are mostly either Generals or Raven's direct friends, such as Camilla with Kuru, and Jamie!
After all, not everyone gets to experience Raven's help in ranking up. This becos exceptionally clear once the demons are compared to the humans; demons had a remarkable number of soldiers who have reached the rank of Star One, not to ntion Raven's Executives who have reached higher ranks!
"Lady Maria," a Star Nine EDA General called humbly while stroking his white beard. "Aren't you doing the sa? From my knowledge of our Commanding General, she would have wanted you to leave first, yet, you stayed. Not only that, but even our brothers, the demons, have stayed too…"
"You…" Maria was left speechless. Of course she wants to help her daughter, and the demons only serve their mistress, Raven, but what about them?
"Kfufufufu!" A cold, yet strangely gentle, voice ca to everyone's ears. "Lady Maria, they have got a point. Lady Raven would be furious to learn that we're staying behind.
"If it wasn't for Lady Kayla's own suppression of her clones, Lady Raven would have already learned of our actions."
Hearing that the one and only Baneful Executioner, Lord Abbado, was standing up for them, the human soldiers started nodding enthusiastically.
"With that being said," Abbadon's tone of voice suddenly changed into a grim one. "Lady Maria and Lady Raven's friends are here for a clear reason. And we, the demons, serve Lady Raven, aning that we live and die with her.
"But above all else, we are strong, and we can make a difference in battle, instead of being a burden! Humans, you have no reason for staying behind. Your own people have been mostly transferred into the Demon Realm and are being transported into different planets.
"You have no business being here, you'll only be a burden that will make everyone else's lives harder during the next battle.
"Additionally, EDA Generals, you are the leaders of the humans and you are needed to guide and lead the humans in their new and hopefully temporary hos."
*Sigh*
"Lord Abbadon is not incorrect," the old Star Nine General sighed. "However, although you didn't an for us to learn this, we already know that the plant is alive!"
At that, many human soldiers got serious as they nodded.
"Earth has taken care of us since even before our own birth. Our ancestors survived thanks to its constant supervision and care!" The General said with passion.
Maria could only sigh in helplessness while Abbadon smiled as he looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, a ripple made the air vibrate and the earth shake. A petite figure suddenly appeared.
"It? Did you just say 'it'?" The figure's cute voice sounded. Although it wasn't loud, it strangely reached everyone's ears.
Under everyone's eyes, what was before simple thin air has turned into a beautiful and petite girl with sparkling green hair and matching eyes.
Even her skin tone appeared to be light green, like dryads, the guardians of forests in children's fairy tales. Above her head, a majestic crown was placed, radiating warmth towards everyone's soul.
"Tsk, tsk," Gaia shook her head at the humans while clicking her tongue.
The General suddenly appeared embarrassed because he had just called her 'it' even though she was a girl. Although in his defence, he didn't know that Earth had actually gained spirituality and wasn't acting out of instinct.
Seeing the girl and understanding her identity by re instinct, every human kneeled down.
Gaia was internally happy about their attitude, but she didn't change her expression.
"You're all too weak to stay behind!" Gaia wasn't rciful and said decisively.
Many human soldiers appeared ashad but didn't dare move. "However, I like your spirits!"
Seeing her grin, everyone felt inexplicably happy inside.
"With that being said, you'll probably all die here if you stay. Are you still insisting on not leaving?" Gaia narrowed her eyes. "I won't take offense if you leave. Heck, if it was up to , I would have kicked Raven and the rest into the portal, but she's not even here."
Hearing that, so soldiers looked dejected and sad. They wanted to help, but their strength wasn't enough.
"Do you not have families and friends to return to? Do you not have any goals to achieve? Why throw your lives away?" Gaia asked while eyeing them.
None of the soldiers answered. But, none of them left.
*Sigh*
"Fine," Gaia shrugged, but she couldn't help but curve her small mouth into a big smile. "If you want to stay, then I won't prevent you. However, let give you a small gift to express my thanks."
Saying that, she took a deep breath while concentrating massive amounts of magiculus around her.. Her green eyes suddenly started shining like two small suns as she looked down at everyone present.
