THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 238: THE CRISIS OF POWER
"From the general's side?", Lana thought for a while before explaining "Master does have great generals like Falka, Retya, Lopen, Garwein, Gladius, Aclan, and others. But King Azeroth V had no shortage of great generals, for example General Limo, General Rifu, General Verlan, northern and southern border generals, 1st, 2nd and 3rd division generals, leaders of the Night Scouts, and, general of the navy, prime minister alongside other ministers as strategists, I believe the talent under King Azeroth V is no less than master. Do not look at the Kingdom of Azeroth which continues to weaken as the king ages, but no other kingdom dares to attack the Kingdom of Azeroth. Wh why? Because they knew, the Kingdom of Azeroth was indeed weakened but they were still lions. Lions that don't eat long enough are scary unless they die".
Hearing Lana's explanation, Myro's face became cautious. It seems that lately he has been underestimating King Azeroth V too much, especially since Myro defeated the 4th and 5th divisions.
But based on Lana's explanation just now, Myro realized that the 4th and 5th divisions were weaker forces than other elite forces belonging to King Azeroth V.
"The 7th prince who is on the other hand is also not weak, at least his ability to compete against the king" said Lana further explained according to the information he had "General Hanto as the great general who led all the troops in the Kingdom of Azeroth, he was loyal to the 7th prince and had 200,000 of his own elite troops. However, as a great general who was above General Limo, General Rifu, and General Verlan, it was not strange that Hanto had the most number of elite troops".
"When King Azeroth V had a Night Scout moving in the shadows, the 7th prince had a Shadow Hand. They were elite assassins numbering less than 100,000. Although the numbers were far below the Night Scouts, but they were all trained assassins so the strength of the Shadow Hands was not inferior to the Night Scouts, the figure leading the Shadow Hands was also not weak".
"Then I also heard other news that was not known the truth, the 7th prince had 7 strong generals under him called the 7 Main Generals. Each of the Main Generals led 100,000 troops which meant that the total number was 700,000 troops. There were a lot of troops under the 7th prince which made him not really care about the loss of the 4th division. As for the matter of advisors, there was 1 person who was famous for his intelligence beside the 7th prince. Even according to the information we got, at the beginning, the 7th prince managed to escape the king's trap due to the help of his advisor until the 7th prince's power became as strong as it is now".
Myro was really surprised to hear Lana's report, he said in disbelief "The 7th Prince is hiding 700,000 troops? No way, if the king knew it then he must have fought the 7th prince without hesitation before his power got bigger. While the possible 7th prince hid 700,000 troops from the eyes of King Azeroth V, it was more unlikely because in the entire territory of the Kingdom of Azeroth, it was more unlikely, no one could hide 700,000 men from the king's eyes because there were too many".
Lana nodded "Lord is right, as long as 700,000 troops are hidden in Azeroth Kingdom, the 7th prince must be discovered".
Myro opened his eyes wide, he understood the meaning of Lana's words "Did the 7th prince use another kingdom? No, rather the 7th prince took another kingdom secretly and started building his army there?".
"Right, the 7th prince had captured 9 small kingdoms like the Cavalry Kingdom first, but he kept his success a secret. If not the ability of the headquarters, I certainly do not know this information as well" said Lana "Either the 7th prince or King Azeroth V has 1 million troops and the talent of the general, advisers and others who are not inferior to the followers of the lord. The problem is that you can now at most only gather 100,000 General Herfu troops, 100,000 General Tarka troops, 100,000 Grand Duke Rayde troops and 100,000 own troops, less than 500,000! Even if the lord gathered the entire headquarters army, at most the lord managed to gather another 50,000 troops. The overlord army did not even reach half of the enemy army, was the master still confident of being able to win against them now?".
"Lana will give the lord a bitter answer, the power of the lord is now far from enough to face the 7th prince or King Azeroth V. I have just counted their base troops, not yet the troops they keep secret further or the troops of the nobles and officials loyal to them. If all the loyal nobles helped gather an army to help the 7th king or prince, they might manage to gather around 1.5 million troops!".
Myro began to think for a while through Lana's words "It seems that we have to move faster, let Retya and Falka train more troops. If necessary, let Loir as Grand Duke Rayde and General Falka to train new troops as well. As for the matter of Tarka, his position was opposite of Victory Province which made it very troublesome to tell him".
Myro no longer objected to Lana's decision "I agree to let you go, but you must bring at least 100 elite assassins to your base to help you. I don't doubt your strength, even many of the headquarters members know how terrifying the power you have. Even so, I'm still worried because you left alone, let the hundreds of elite assassins from the base help you".
Lana's face froze, then a gentle smile appeared on her face that made even Myro, Ren and Yorou who were always silent shocked.
Whenever Lana meets Myro, she often smiles to greet him.
But Myro had to admit, Lana's smile had been more like a polite act as a form of loyalty to Myro.
As for Lana's smile now, Myro felt that the smile really came from Lana's heart.
"Thank you sir, then I go and gather some elite assassins first. The possibility of us meeting is a few years later, when a great war occurs and the lord will fight for the throne of a king. When that time comes, Lana must have come back to help master" Lana said.
Not waiting for Myro to realize again from his surprise due to Lana's smile, Lana's figure disappeared from that place, he had left.
After all, Lana has always been like that, she is a firm figure who will not hesitate to act as long as she has decided.
Myro muttered to Lana who was gone "I know Lana was beautiful when she was cold with her killing aura, but who thought Lana was also very beautiful as she smiled without any lies. Ren, as a woman, you must understand the reason why Lana smiled like that, right? I don't feel like I'm doing anything special, but why does Lana look so happy?".
Ren looked at Myro before explaining "Master, every woman would be happy if the man they care about noticed their situation. The actions of the lord who was worried about Lana to the point of sending 100 elite assassins of the headquarters to follow Lana, I believe that is the reason why Lana was touched by the actions of the master. Moreover, Lana was known as the queen of the night, no one noticed her condition either alive or dead because they thought with Lana's strength, there was no way anyone could defeat her".
"However, you care about his life, despite knowing how frightening Lana's strength is, but you still worry about the circumstances that will go to other regions in the Kingdom of Azeroth and build new strength for the master, but you still worry about the circumstances that will go to other regions in the Kingdom of Azeroth and build new strength for the master, I'm sure Lana was touched for that reason".
