In my test suite we have 100 test cases in one file only

You can still use pabot to execute test cases in parallel within one suite. You need to use --testlevelsplit option.

For example pabot --testlevelsplit [path to suite with 100 test cases].

You can use Jenkins as an external tool to configure your .robot scripts to run in parallel with the Jenkins pipeline. This is free to use. This will significantly reduce your execution time, it works well. Details at - https://www.jenkins.io/blog/2017/09/25/declarative-1/ You have to configure Jenkins job as Freestyle project and then add a step to run a windows batch command to trigger your robot script.

Robot does not have the ability to run test cases in parallel. You'll have to use an external tool such as pabot, or write your own code to split the tests into parallel test runs.
