THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 216: THE LETTER OF THE KING
Myro approached the representative of the king while saying a little respectfully "I am Myro Aras, Earl and Military Governor of the Cavalry Province".
Seeing Myro, a friendly smile immediately appeared on the face of the king's representative because as the king's accomplice, he knew an important information that the king lately had been very supportive of Myro since Myro chose the 10th prince.
Even the prime minister as well as the other long-time followers of King Azeroth V tried to persuade the king to be careful, however there was a good chance Myro was just pretending to support the 10th prince in order to make the king happy.
But the king did not listen to the advice. As his age grew older, the king began to see oddities among his loyal followers.
The best example is General Pube of the 5th division, since Pube's loyalty has never been doubted. But in the end, Pube betrays him.
So King Azeroth V was worried, he could feel the 7th prince's hand which began to affect the kingdom's politics and military in a big way.
Unlike the 7th prince, the 10th prince had a lot of support from the capital's population, but support in the government and military and nobles were very weak because many people considered the 10th prince to be incapable.
For that reason as well, some of the king's loyal supporters began to hesitate and there were signs of them approaching the 7th prince or his followers.
However, everyone knows the age of King Azeroth V soon, although the king chose the 10th prince to occupy the throne, most likely with the ability of the 7th prince then he was able to seize the throne from his younger brother.
If the 7th prince becomes king, those who support the 10th prince are definitely put to death. Without King Azeroth V, no one would be able to stop the cruelty of the 7th prince.
The reason this caused the king's supporters to be changed, they might be loyal to the king so as not to fear death, but they had a family. They must support the right prince so that their families do not suffer disaster.
Amidst the changing circumstances of his loyal followers, Myro suddenly appeared to show his firmness in supporting the 10th prince before the king, the government and the royal military without fear of the 7th prince.
Myro's courage amazed the king, therefore the king indirectly regarded Myro as his confidant. Not to mention that Myro managed to suppress the 5th division rebellion that the 7th prince controlled, the king became even more appreciative of him.
As a confidant of the king, he knew Myro's status to the king so he was very friendly to Myro "Earl Myro, I will read you a glorious decree now!".
"I am ready to accept the noble decision!", cried Myro while kneeling.
After all, when the king's confidants read the decree, it was the same as standing before the king so that those who did not kneel were considered rebels.
The representative of the king shouted "Earl Myro is very brave and capable, stopping the 5th division rebellion that almost killed the important nobles in the kingdom. The King greatly appreciated the Earl's hard work, but the war is not over yet! According to the information obtained, there are still 4 divisions that participated in the rebellion this time. So the king gave another task to Earl Myro, kill all the members of the 4th Division without hesitation, do not let them escape from Rayde Province despite being only 1 step".
"The Decree that Earl Myro made as Military Governor was approved by the king, the Earl would not receive a punishment but rather a reward when the war was over. In addition to aiding Earl Myro's battle against the 4th Division, all the noble forces brought from the Cavalry Province, General Herfu's forces, and all the soldiers in Rayde Province had to help Earl Myro. Whoever refuses to help Earl Myro and does not go to war, the king gives Earl Myro the right to kill them for violating the king's decree! Now that the entire army in Rayde Province had to listen to Earl Myro's decision, Earl Myro's decision in Rayde Province during the fight against the 4th division was as heavy as the king's decision!".
The rights that the king gave to Myro were immense, during this time Myro's decree in Rayde Province was just like the king's. What does that mean? This means that Myro, an Earl, is now more powerful than Grand Duke Rayde or General Herfu, at least until the 4th division is defeated. Whoever dares to resist, they will be considered as traitors of the kingdom.
The troops from the Cavalry Province felt very lucky, fortunately they did not reject Myro's previous decree. If they refused, they might have been considered rebels by now.
Not only were the troops surprised, the king's confidants were surprised because the king's decree gave Myro such a great right even though it temporarily showed how much the king believed in Myro.
Moreover, if given to the wrong people, such a right could cause great chaos throughout the Kingdom of Azeroth, for even Myro killed Carla or the present General Herfu, his actions could not be punished unless the king decided to punish him.
Until the 4th division was defeated, Myro in Rayde Province was the strongest except for the king. Even if the prime minister descends into Rayde Province, he must follow Myro's words according to the letter the king prescribed.
Myro silently smiled, who would have thought the king gave him such a big right.
Without the slightest hesitation, Myro shouted firmly "I, Myro Aras accepted the task given by his majesty! Until the 4th division is defeated, I will not stop hunting them so that the trust given by the noble does not end up being a disappointment".
The king's representative nodded, he folded back the king's letter and gave it to Myro "Earl Myro, lest it disappoint the noble kindness!".
Myro was given the letter so that anyone who did not believe in the power that Myro had gained from the king would believe, however the letter of the king's giving was proof of the duty that the king had given to Myro.
After the king's representative left, Myro decided to call everyone.
Even the imprisoned Herfu General, Myro decided to release him.
With the help of General Herfu on the battlefield, Myro believed the possible number of casualties to be less.
Not to mention that Myro was not worried about Herfu betraying, unless Herfu was ready to fight King Azeroth V.
General Herfu's army still consisted of over 60,000 men, Myro's army was 150,000, and Rayde City's guard force was around 10,000.
Actually, the guard force of Rayde City reached 20,000, but if Myro brought the entire army then Rayde City would lose a very risky guard.
Myro was not that cruel to make Rayde City experience destruction because there are many innocent residents living there.
Seeing the 220,000 troops marching in front of him and bringing Herfu, Kartaz, Carla and Tarka as additional troop leaders then there were also capable military officials under Herfu, who was also the leader of the army, Myro was confident against his victory against the 4th division.
