The 5 Elemental Lord
The most insane emperor
Just the next day the sun had just emerged from the eastern horizon, where they were on the west coast with an army of 900,000 soldiers on horseback ready for battle. It felt a little strange for people who did not know it, the article they were dazed when faced by a sea so vast. What would he do? That was the question that was harbored by some of the soldiers.
Many of the soldiers who thought that the emperor had gone mad, they knew that they would attack Mare Enbarum located across the ocean there. And they were just riding a horse that made them just want to turn.
It may make sense that the Mare Enbarum Empire is still connected to the Glacies even though it is very far away. However, many of them felt that the emperor had experienced the folly of wanting to cross the ocean on a horse.
Zeno actually knew it all, that he would definitely be considered very stupid by his own soldiers. Thus, he and general Lois, riding on a horse beside him, ran his horse directly over the sea.
Previously Lois was less convinced by the mad idea of the emperor. However, after proving itself that the horse is riding as if walking on the ground, even though the horse is walking on water. This of course made Lois rub her eyes and assume that this was just an illusion, but several times she rubbed her eyes, this was a real thing.
“Do not think that I am a mad and foolish emperor. Please run your horse on this water, then you are like riding a horse on land.” Zeno shouted so loudly in front of his soldiers.
All the soldiers were still opening their mouths since their generals could ride on the sea. They even saw that general Lois looked so crazy for riding to and fro on the surface of water. Zeno who saw it also shook his head and patted his head at the strange behavior of general Lois.
In disbelief, some of the soldiers ran their horses forward more precisely towards the middle of the sea water to prove whether the emperor's words were true or not. However, they also seemed to be going crazy just like general Lois after knowing that the horse they were waiting for could walk on water as if the water was such a dense thing.
“Alright, as we know, we will fight against the empire of Mare Enbarum. The war was aimed at avenging the death of emperor Aurrora, general Zhuo and his wife. Of course, Mare Enbarum was a top empire whose strength could not be underestimated. Therefore, anyone who shudders in fear, unprepared, can get out of line right now!” Zeno shouted so firmly, that even the 900,000 soldiers who were lined up heard it so clearly even though the lines were the furthest from Zeno though.
Zeno waited for a few seconds after he bluffed. However, not a single soldier left his line like what Zeno had said. Even in unison, they replied in such a high tone, “We are not afraid of the emperor. Our life and death are for the empire! To emperor!”
There was no response from the soldiers, not even a sound. Zeno was sure that even one or two soldiers had an overwhelming fear, but just because they had an overwhelming fear of him, they chose to be in place.
Zeno was bluffing like that not because he just wanted to shrink the mentality of his troops. However, he wanted to have a soldier who was not afraid to die. Rather than the soldier having great fear and being forced to fight, the soldier would only be a burden to others, and it would be better not to go to war.
All supplies are also ready to be brought by horsemen. And they brought no supplies of drinking water. Because it is very strange that ice elementalists who have the basic element of water experience an extraordinary dehydration, even though they can suck their own fingers.
“Good team, no need to be afraid to drown. Upon the emperor's permission, the water bowed to him, so send your horses forward.” Lois who stopped to play around this time raised her hand high. Gave a signal to all the soldiers to leave immediately for Mare Enbarum, the first transcontinental war on a horse.
The entire soldier shouted excitedly and spurred his horse forward. And, it is absolutely true that their horses did not sink and run above sea level. If they are grounded, they should drown. Even the soldiers who were insistent that the emperor was a fool, they were simply dumbfounded by this all.
Zeno smiled slightly as he spurred his horse in the middle of the sea. The waters of the sea had now become subservient to Zeno and wanted the soldiers to walk on him like the surface of the ground. Zeno also would not allow the sea water to drown his soldiers because the sea water seemed to be in Zeno's control. He felt, quite cool to be a ruler, because at will he could regulate the will of the elements even though, even the forces of nature that are related to the elements.
In fact, he did not think about the problems on his journey later. Storm, tornado lightning strike in the middle of the sea, he did not care about it all, because he could manage everything at will.
As for the matters of the empire, he handed Kirin and Uron over just in case, there were hundreds of mounted warriors who settled in the empire. So, Zeno also did not have too much trouble. Then of the 450 ships, Mahaa will only send 400 ships, therefore just in case. In addition, with a little weight, Zeno also assigned Skarlos the task of guarding the empire, although he was a little sad.
“After leaving. See you again at Mare Enbarum, emperor.” Turse sighed. He also smiled faintly when he saw Zeno's departure and knew that he would catch up with him or leave by boat in one week. And will meet in Mare in three weeks. However, he immediately went to train the archers again and did not want to let the emperor down.
