THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 17: THE TEST
Currently Myro was carrying his troops continuously moving forward towards near the capital of the Northern Province which was the Capital of Seth Province, the 4th prince along with his elite troops from the Royal Capital of Azeroth was already waiting there.
Although Myro did not ride on horses very often, he could use the abilities of the followers he called from the World. Therefore, Myro could wear his riding ability without any problems.
"Falka, do you think we can win this war?", Myro asked Falka who was riding a horse beside him, Falka was always beside him to guard Myro in case of bad circumstances. Myro asked about Falka's opinion because Falka had been leading the army as a mercenary so that he could know more information and the state of the battlefield than Myro.
Falka held her face while thinking "I don't know, however we should know first the power of the 4th prince and the power of the Cavalry Kingdom, after all, with that we can only determine who wins or loses. Not to mention that the strength of our army is still very limited, if I have 10,000 Mongol Cavalry then I can give the lord of the Cavalry Kingdom without anyone's help, I believe that. But I don't blame the master here, however preparing 10,000 cavalry with such a short time is almost impossible, let alone requiring an awful lot of money to take care of such a large army".
Myro nodded "10,000 Mongol Cavalry troops huh? I don't know how many years it will take to have that many troops".
Seeing Myro's slightly worried face towards the upcoming battlefield, Falka couldn't help but say "Master don't have to worry, at least there's Falka here. Although I cannot be sure of always winning, but there should be no problem to escape alive when we lose, Falka can fight 100 people without any problem to help the master escape. Not to mention that master brought a terrifying woman along with master, did that woman with the folding fan also come from the World?".
"Woman with a folding fan? You mean Ren?", said Myro who was staring at Ren, currently Ren was behind Myro and Falka, he was with Myro's mother and they seemed busy talking about something.
"The woman is very scary, her existence can definitely change victory and defeat on the battlefield later" said Falka who saw Ren with sharp eyes as if meeting a monster that was very scary.
"Is Ren so scary?", asked Myro, he was puzzled as to why Falka judged Ren that way.
"Master, I Falka does have a strong power to be able to fight 100 people. But in the end the power of 1 person is very limited, if the enemy has 1000 or 10,000 people while I only have 100 troops then most likely I will lose. But Miss Ren is different, the strategists are very scary, they are magicians on the battlefield. With magic named strategy then the strategist can make 100 troops win against 1000 troops or even more. Even some other strategist could turn defeat into victory, it was not something a soldier who relied solely on strength like me could do. I don't know how intelligent Miss Ren is, but I definitely try my best to keep people like Miss Ren from becoming my enemy, anyone who becomes her enemy must be unlucky" Falka said firmly.
Listening to Falka's explanation, Myro increasingly understood how valuable Ren's ability was.
However, Myro had never gone to the battlefield before, and he came from a peaceful earth so that Myro's knowledge of strategy or how to fight was very little. Therefore, he still needed the help of people like Falka and Ren to help him win in the war.
On the other hand, Mother Myro who was curious about the origin of Ren, Falka and these 400 Mongol Cavalry troops could not help but ask Ren "Your name is Ren right? Miss Ren, if you don't mind, can I know why you decided to follow my son? With Miss Ren's strength, I believe Miss Ren can gain an important position in the elite forces of Azeroth Kingdom and gain power. Why bother choosing my son who has no power or wealth to give?".
"Everything is destiny!", said Ren who opened his folding fan again "Madam, you don't have to be too polite towards me, after all I am your follower so it is not right for my master's mother to call me with such respect".
Myro's mother said again "Then I will call you Ren from now on, you also do not need to be too polite and can call me Miss Risa. Besides I'm not loyal to be called madam, can I know what you mean by that fate?".
Ren covered half of his face with the folding fan before saying "I followed Mr. Myro not because of power or money, but fate that made us meet. Mr. Myro may not have anything right now, even so I believe master can make something greater in the future than the Kingdom of Azeroth. It does not even rule out the possibility that he can rule the entire world, so I follow him".
Myro's mother feels a little strange, knowing that Ren is a smart person so he will not follow Myro just for that reason. But this also made him know that Ren did not plan to tell him the real reason, therefore Myro's mother could only test it again "Maybe it's not very polite for me to test her loyalty, but Ren I have a question for you. What would you do if one day Myro became something you couldn't accept, like he became a ruthless ruler blinded by power?".
"Miss Risa, it doesn't matter for you to test my loyalty, after all it's not strange for a mother to feel worried about an obscure person suddenly following her child", ren said confidently "If one day Mr. Myro takes the wrong path, then I Ren will try to resuscitate him. Even I would not mind beating him or putting on a great rebellion to make Mr. Myro wake up from his blindness from power. But if there is no more chance for master to regain consciousness, then I will make master lose all his wealth and power!".
"It is better to be a farmer in small villages but to be able to bring benefits to others, than to be a king who destroys and kills many innocent people. When you have lost your power, then I may invite you to farm or whatever".
Myro's mother couldn't help but smile a little, she said "Ren, you're really a good boy. If a soldier could sit idly by to see their master fall into the path of destruction, it would be a foolish allegiance. Your answer didn't disappoint me, at least for now I trust you".
"Thank you that Miss Risa already believes in me, I definitely won't disappoint master and Miss Risa in the future" Ren said politely.
Myro's mother looked at Ren from top to bottom before saying "You're very pretty, besides you're about 15 years old which is not too different from Myro. Ren, are you interested in marrying my son? I can't be sure if my son was with an unknown woman, they might be with Myro just to use him, like the other women around Baron Aras. But if you are with you, then I can be sure that you will not use Myro for your own benefit. How's it?".
