THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 166: SWORDSMAN
Myro turned around to find a man wearing a black robe and a circular bamboo hat covering his face.
Seeing the man, Myro immediately felt he was meeting a swordsman who always traveled the world alone without being bound by any power or kingdom.
The reason Myro thought that was that this man had a sword in sight under his cloak, then he did not seem to be wearing any armor that showed any confidence in his sword ability, then the circular bamboo hat on top of his head added to the impression of a swordsman.
Based on the film that Myro had already watched on earth, some swordsmen often took off bamboo hats on top of his head while mentioning his identity before starting to fight.
Without waiting for Myro to speak, Ren who was beside Myro smiled bitterly "It turns out that it was you, the Blood Swordsman of 1 Arm, Yorou".
The man took off the bamboo hat on top of his head and knelt in front of Myro "Master, Yorou gave her loyalty to master! As long as it was the master's decision, Yorou would draw her sword without hesitation and kill all the enemies of the master".
Myro looked between Yorou and Ren before saying "I accept your loyalty, but I'm curious about your relationship with Ren, it seems that you know each other".
Yorou who was already standing smiled "How could I possibly forget Miss Ren? No matter how forgetful I am, I will never forget the person who had already managed to kill me who was dubbed as this bloody swordsman".
Ren opened his folding fan before shaking his head "You must be joking, I didn't kill you at all, it was the hard work of the entire army to successfully defeat you. Besides, I definitely wouldn't have tried to kill you if you hadn't suddenly sided with the night queen! As you know, me and the night queen are enemies. Since you've been on the queen's side of the night, you've been my enemy".
"I have no other choice" said Yorou shaking her head "You yourself know I'm not a person who is interested in power. Even if I only set up a sword martial house to teach the disciples to practice the sword, I have no interest in participating in warfare. But I have a debt to the queen of the night, I have to pay it. Who would have thought that when I tried to repay my debt, I ended up dying under your hands".
"So, did Yorou lead her disciples against Ren?", asked Myro.
Ren looked at Myro and then began to explain "Master, in the past Yorou was famous as a bloody swordsman due to her sword skills. Every time his sword was drawn, then blood would definitely be seen, Yorou also never lost to her enemy. So he is famous for the nickname, while the 1 arm comes from him who lost his left hand without ever knowing the reason".
"What made Yorou most famous was that she led her 10 best disciples and killed 1000 troops. Although the army he defeated was not a well-known elite force, but who could lead 10 men to defeat 1000 people? Other than Yorou, I don't think there's a 2nd person who can do it".
"At the age of 70, he still has not weakened and is still very much feared. But he had to cooperate with the night queen against me, I set a trap to drop Yorou under a siege of 50,000 troops. At that time Yorou had only brought 100 of her students, so I could kill her there. The problem is that even though I managed to kill Yorou, I still lost 5000 troops in her hands and her students. I still cannot forget that day, we were able to kill him after Yorou was stabbed by the sword 5 times, 7 spear stabs and there were 4 arrows that came piercing him. When I fought him, Yorou was too old to be at her best. If Yorou was 40 years old at that time, I think she might be able to escape the siege that I made her die while standing up and a body filled with blood, it would not be wrong to call her the strongest swordsman".
Myro was truly amazed, who would think there really was such a strong person who could lead around 100 disciples to kill 5000 enemy troops under a siege of 50,000 troops.
"Miss Ren overestimates too much, Yorou is not that great" said Yorou not showing any arrogance.
Ren immediately gave advice to Myro "Master, I think Yorou is not very suitable to move on the battlefield directly. Therefore, I have 2 suggestions for master regarding how to use Yorou as effectively as possible. The 1st way is to let Yorou become the leader of the lord's guard force and then let her form a squad of guards, Praetorian guards could continue to be the guard of the master as well but their main task was to maintain order in the cities that belonged to the master".
"The 2nd way is to let Yorou open the sword martial house and train strong disciples for the master. As long as he continued to be a sword teacher, he could help master by giving away the hundreds of talented disciples he had trained every year. That way, you can get hundreds of additional powerful swordsmen troops each year".
Myro nodded, Ren's suggestion was indeed the most appropriate "Yorou, what do you think! I'll let you decide for yourself what you're interested in doing".
According to Myro, let Yorou decide her own path so that she can get the job that suits her best.
Yorou smiled gently at Myro, she was so glad her master cared so much for her. Yorou who is not 70 years old like the time when she died, but Yorou is about 30 years old and has short black hair, now she is in the strongest times of hers.
"Master, Yorou is happy because you care about my opinion. But I hope master can make a decision for Yorou, I will follow master's decision" said Yorou bowing towards Myro.
"Then I appoint you as the head of my bodyguard today, you can form your own bodyguard army of people you think are suitable. I don't care about their background, what matters is loyalty. Can you do it?", asked Myro.
"Yorou must have done her best to not disappoint master" Yorou said.
Myro nodded "In addition tell Lopen that I still need the Praetorian Guard as my bodyguard, but the main task he did had changed. Starting today I appoint Lopen as the head of law enforcement in my area, he can start recruiting people as part of law and order enforcement, he said, however, the 1000 Praetorian Guard troops are still too few to maintain order in all the cities I have. Law enforcers absolutely do not need to follow the words of anyone else but me, even if they are the words of people I trust like Ren, Falka, Lana and others. He just needs to report to me, and anyone who violates the law and order will be punished regardless of their background".
"Okay, sir!", replied everyone in the backyard firmly.
Although Lopen is no longer part of Myro's bodyguard, everyone knows that Lopen has been promoted.
Now Lopen could have great power in the Myro region and he could establish order and justice for the inhabitants of the Myro region without having to worry about the people shaking in that place, unless Myro makes a new decision.
