THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 10: NOT WITHOUT PROFIT
Myro placed his tea glass on the table before saying carefully "So according to what you said just now, we the children of the noble families are the ones to be sacrificed? Although the 4th prince would be embarrassed after losing but he was most likely still alive, at most he as a prince would only be slightly underestimated compared to the other princes, but we who followed him would die?".
"All that is true, did you never hear a sentence that when the elephants are fighting, then the ants will be the victims! Therefore, when the princes fought each other, then the useless noble children became his victims. Isn't the current situation almost similar to that sentence?", Lana replied with a smile.
Myro closed his eyes while sighing "That Aaron really tricked me, I now understand why he sent me over his other son, it turned out that he had known from the beginning that anyone who went with the 4th prince must have a high chance of dying. These nobles are really bad, they don't even care about the life and death of their child just for being untalented".
"They just don't know the talent of the master" Lana said "As long as Baron Aras knows about it, I'm sure the Baron won't let the master go. How come? Is the master interested in telling Baron Aras the matter of the power of the master?".
Myro immediately shook his head without hesitation "When people find out my strength then they must be afraid, especially the Azeroth Royal family must be careful of me and will not rule out the possibility of them sending assassins directly. It is better to remain silent for now, at least until it has enough power to protect myself".
Then Myro observed the writing of the World in his hand, he was sure that the entire Azeroth Kingdom must have gone mad as long as they knew the true power of Myro. As long as they felt they could not control Myro, right then and there the king might send his best army to kill Myro.
Looking at the worried Myro, Lana again said "Master, this war is indeed very risky but not without profit".
"Advantage? Is there any profit I can get?", asked Myro interested again.
"As long as the lord can help the 4th prince win then the lord must get the prize of territory or even the title of nobility in the Cavalry Kingdom that has been captured later. When you have gained the title of nobility, it becomes easier for you to build strength to protect yourself. Moreover, the ability of the World is not only useful to summon troops once every day, but when the master completes certain achievements there will be additional rewards, right?" said Lana.
Myro slightly nodded, he had indeed told Lana that the ability of this World would give Myro a reward when he had gained enough achievements. The problem is that Myro never knew what achievement was needed, therefore he had never received any reward.
Then for the title of nobility then this is very valuable, in the Kingdom of Azeroth then the titles of nobles from high to low are Grand Duke, Duke, Marquis, Count, Earl, Viscount, Baronet, and knights.
Only the title of Baron's nobility upwards which the nobles considered to be the original nobility because only the Baron upwards could have a fiefdom, besides that the title Baron upwards could only be granted by the king. As for the other nobles then they could not, not even the Grand Duke could grant others the title of Baron. Not only that, the title of Baron upwards could also be passed down to their children, too, but only 1 child can receive the inheritance of the title and the territory of the child while the other noble children can only become noble families or get the title of nobility with their own efforts. Therefore, the Baron upwards was considered a genuine noble while the Baronet and the knights were referred to as half nobles or false nobles.
The problem to obtain the title of nobility was not at all easy, though, at the very least one had to achieve something big like expanding the kingdom's territory or making new magic research that could benefit the kingdom to obtain the noble title from the king.
Myro thought about Lana's suggestion for a while before nodding "You're right, I'm already 10 years old too now so there's no harm in getting the peerage and building up my own strength and territory. Moreover, the current state of Azeroth Kingdom is not very good, it is better to be on guard in case something bad happens to Azeroth Kingdom".
"Master, then what are your next plans to go help the 4th prince? You definitely don't consider Baron Aras sending his elite troops to help master don't you? After all the task of accompanying this 4th prince just to die, it was impossible for Baron Aras to send his elite army to help the lord. Not to mention that there seems to be quite new information that currently some of the Baron warriors are going to the territory of the poor population while carrying weapons and armor, master must know their purpose", lana said that did not explain more, she was sure that Myro already understood.
Hearing Lana's explanation, Myro smiled bitterly again because he knew that Baron Aras was arming the population to be the troops he would bring tomorrow. As long as Myro brought this army with the 4th prince, he would definitely die.
Myro thought for a while before saying "Tell Falka to come back tomorrow morning bringing my 1st army unit of 400 men, while the other 400 men could remain mercenaries. After all the 4th prince only needed a small army from each of the nobles in each province, so there was no need to bother bringing along a lot of overly attention-grabbing troops".
"I see, Lana will immediately send a letter so that Falka can arrive here tomorrow morning, I can't wait anymore to see Baron Aras' surprised face tomorrow.
Through the power of the Myro World then he now has 1650 troops, Myro divided the army into 2 mercenary units called the 1st unit army consisting of 800 people with Falka as its leader, then there was a 2nd unit army consisting of 850 people with Tira as its leader.
The 4th prince only needed a few soldiers from each of the nobles in the northern province that was at least 200 troops, therefore bringing 400 troops was enough for Myro.
Moreover, every troop he summoned was a fairly expert army, at least Myro had seen that they were stronger than the elite Barons.
Not to mention that this Falka possessed extremely frightening strength, the existence of Falka and these 400 troops was enough to protect Myro.
Although they were defeated though, with the help of Falka and 400 troops then it was more than enough for them to escape.
