THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 301: THE LOYALTY OF THE FRONTIER GENERAL
Under everyone's gaze, Myro said firmly "I decided to attack Bern City and bring back Kelrun's corpse!".
Everyone was speechless about Myro's decision, although they felt it was not at all beneficial but detrimental, but they could not contend with Myro's decision carelessly.
Everyone immediately looked at Ren again as if to tell Ren to try to persuade Myro back.
Ren took a breath before continuing to try to persuade "Master, consider your decision! Although you care about the corpse of General Kelrun, tomorrow is the meeting of the northern alliance. If master is not present at the meeting, there is no way we can afford to make an alliance".
"Let Feld go" Myro said.
"Master, Feld's presence is unable to cover your emptiness! If master had not come, the nobles and powerful officials from the north would definitely not have considered forming an alliance! They came here because master, rather they were afraid of the power in the hands of master. If master was not around, they would definitely reject the alliance! I hope you consider it" Ren said.
Myro stared at Ren for a while without saying anything that made everyone worried, especially Ren who was under Myro's pressure.
Not long after, Myro stops staring at Ren unless he turns his attention to Retya "What about you, Retya? Are you gonna try to stop me like the others?".
The kneeling Retya raised his head to look at Myro's eyes directly "At first I agreed against Miss Ren and Captain Falka's opinion, but if master decides to attack Bern City, then, Retya is ready to gather an army for the lord! Moreover, Retya has the same mind path as the master, there are more important things than the advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield".
A smile surfaced on Myro's face "I must admit Ren is much smarter than you are about strategy, Falka also has the ability to lead an army over you. Yet you have something they don't have, the courage to act without thinking about profit and loss! You're right, on the battlefield, gains and losses aren't everything! The actions of King Diamant I have gone too far, if I do not dare to stop the ruthless actions of King Diamant I, how can I become a king?".
"Retya, I'm giving you a job! Gather the Victory Army as well as all the troops under you, tell them to prepare to leave for Bern!".
"Well, sir!", said Retya without hesitation.
Under everyone's gaze, Retya stood up and left this room to do the task that Myro gave her.
Seeing Ren still trying to persuade him, Myro raised his hand to stop Ren saying "I know what you think, in the end all your opinions are for my benefit. But you forget 1 thing, the king must not only be good, but a king must have courage! If a king does not dare to resist the cruelty of an enemy like King Diamant I, then he is not at all king! Like King Azeroth VI, people still consider him king, but in my eyes, he is no longer a king but someone who happens to wear a crown!".
"You may decide for yourself, if you plan to come with me to attack the Diamant Kingdom of Bern City, prepare yourself! But if you don't plan on joining, you can stay in Loth City. While thinking of stopping me, forget it! I won't change my mind, I've made up my mind!".
Without giving them a chance to answer, Myro rushed away from the study and let Ren and the others make their own decisions.
Myro walked towards the Loth City training ground, where Retya should gather all the troops as Myro said.
20 minutes later, Myro stood still in the middle of the empty field.
However, Retya had to gather tens of thousands of troops, at least it took him an hour before gathering that many troops.
News of the movement of Retya's Victory Army instantly shocked the entire Loth City.
After all, the movement of 50,000 troops was too large, it was almost impossible to hide. Many people do not know the purpose of this much movement of the troops, but some intelligent people have a hunch, something big is bound to happen.
30 Minutes later, Myro remained standing still in the field waiting for the troops to arrive.
The sunlight continued to shine on Myro's body which made him sweat a little, but Myro did not move even a little from where he was standing now.
Suddenly a large army moved closer to the field where Myro was standing.
Looking at the incoming troops, Myro was slightly startled before smiling and approaching the troops "General Herfu, I never thought you would come help me this time! And you never helped me unless I called you, why are you coming now? I'm not sure Retya called you here, am I? Not to mention that you brought your 100,000 troops, have you set your resolve to be loyal to me?".
The one who came was none other than Herfu with his 100,000 troops.
Ever since Carla and Loir surrendered to Myro, Herfu had surrendered, but she was not really loyal.
If it was not his son and grandson who decided to follow Myro, he would definitely not listen to what Myro said.
Therefore, Myro was a little confused. This time, he did not call Herfu at all, why did Herfu come here to help him?
Herfu looked at Myro carefully "I have to admit, at first I helped you because Carla told me that Grand Duke Rayde and I would follow you. Of course I disagree, I don't consider you suitable to be king anyway. You're just a child who comes from the Little Baron Family, why should I be loyal to you? Even if you succeed in becoming Duke, I am the general of the northern frontier, only the figure I acknowledge as king deserves my loyalty".
"So I have never been loyal to you, even I have had the thought of staying loyal to the Kingdom of Azeroth several times. But I changed my mind now, King Azeroth VI's reply disappointed me! Is that what a king does for a general who dies after being loyal to himself?".
"On the other hand, I heard from the Victory Squad about you planning to attack the Diamant Kingdom for Kelrun, is that true?".
Myro said with great decisiveness "All his life, Kelrun was a good man, he was a hero from the west of Azeroth Kingdom! As the one who was once the Duke of Azeroth Kingdom, surely I can't sit idly by to see a hero being treated like a rebel! I may not be able to give Kelrun a funeral like a hero, but at least I should give him a funeral like a soldier!".
"So, the funeral of a soldier huh?" said Herfu smiling "We, the 4 border generals have a pretty close relationship due to the position we have. Kelrun and I were like friends, so I knew he would love to be buried like a soldier".
The smile on Herfu's face disappeared unless he turned completely firm.
Herfu who had always stood upright full of arrogance knelt before Myro, the 100,000 troops behind Herfu kneeling as if they were ready for Herfu's movement.
"I, the Northern Border General of Azeroth Kingdom hereby relinquished the position I had! Myro Aras, I acknowledge you are a suitable person for the position of king! I, Herfu and my 100,000 troops give their allegiance to you" said the kneeling Herfu "From today, we are no longer the border troops of Azeroth Kingdom but the troops under you, the Victory Duke! As long as you agree, let me and the 100,000 troops I have attack Bern City in the vanguard! Despite having to lose my life, as long as Kelrun's corpse can be brought back, I don't mind! We old frontier generals are not interested in living a luxurious life like royalty, nor are we interested in having great power! But at the very least, let us be buried like a soldier! As Kelrun's friend and colleague, I can't sit idly by looking at the corpse of my comrade who is being treated as a rebel!".
