THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 322: STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY GATE
Myro did plan to clear Count Horganef if he had not changed his mind about Myro, but at least not now.
Although he defeated King Diamant I and brought Kellrun back to be buried which made Myro's name famous throughout the kingdom, he understood that he could not be king now.
In the minds of many of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Azeroth and the Kingdom of Diamant, there was only King Azeroth.
King Diamant I was able to ascend the throne because he was the son of King Azeroth V, therefore he did not get any resistance.
Myro is different, he does not have royal blood or anything so people now only consider Myro strong, but not enough to be considered as king.
What Myro needed was 1 thing capable of propelling him into a king and receiving the recognition of many inhabitants, especially the inhabitants themselves.
The problem is Myro does not know, what he must do to get 1 thing that encourages the recognition of the population.
At least what Myro needed to do now was to continue to defend his territory and alliance, then fight and resist the attacks of the 2 kingdoms until he received the recognition of the population before becoming king.
Thinking about the matter, Myro again said to everyone "I thank everyone for the kindness, but my troops and I had just returned from the battlefield so we had to rush towards Loth City in order to rest as quickly as possible. If General Kalikav and Count Horganef don't mind, how about coming with us to Loth City? At the same time, I also planned to bury General Kelrun".
Count Horganef planned to refuse because he felt the crisis, he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible or seek other help in order to hold back Myro's development.
But before Count Horganef refused, Kalikav immediately said "We must be coming, am I right, Count Horganef? Besides me and you are nobles and generals of the kingdom so General Kelrun is our partner, as a partner, we certainly have to see the last time General Kelrun before being buried. Besides Mr. Duke, you don't have to call me general, you can call me Kalikav! Besides compared to the position of the general of the territory I have, I am still under a strong figure like Duke with title".
Count Horganef smiled bitterly, Kalikav's words just now meant not giving him a chance to refuse.
If he refused, everyone would consider Count Horganef indifferent to his colleague Kelrun, people would assume he was cold.
Though the power in the hands of Count Horganef mostly comes from nobles who believe that he is a good person, if the nobles who support him begin to stop because they think he is cold, Count Horganef would lose completely his strength against Myro.
Therefore, Count Horganef said with a smile that looked very fake "Sure, I will come see the last time General Kelrun before being buried".
"Alright, let's head to Loth City!", Myro said with a big smile and gave a new appraisal of Kalikav.
Surely not only was Count Horganef aware of Kalikav's actions just now, Myro was also aware of Kalikav helping Myro.
So in Myro's eyes now, Kalikav's position was getting better. Although Myro kept putting down some of the headquarters members to keep an eye on Kalikav to be ready for the worst, but at least Myro trusted Kalikav enough now.
Not wasting any more time, everyone rushed towards Loth City.
Kalikav, Loir and Count Horganef let most of their troops go to their respective territories, however they planned to head towards Loth City making it impossible to bring this army of around 300,000.
Even if Myro knew they would not attack, it was difficult to feed 300,000 by a city.
After which, they moved towards Loth City.
...----------------...
On the 5th day when the battle between Myro and Diamant I ended, they began to arrive at Loth City.
Myro had to spend a lot of time on the trip because the number of troops they brought was too much, if Myro was alone with some of his guards like Yorou, they could arrive in Loth City faster.
Upon arriving in front of Loth City, the city gate was immediately opened after the guards there made sure the person who came was truly Myro.
But when the city guards were ready to welcome Myro's troops and the inhabitants had marched on the left and right sides of the city's streets to greet the soldiers' victory with great fanfare, a woman of about 50 years old and a young woman who is most likely her 10-year-old son are walking towards the middle of the open city gates.
The actions of those standing in the middle of the city gates certainly prevented the new Myro troops from returning to Loth City so that Myro's forces stopped, Myro who was in front of the troops stared at the 2 women carefully while Yorou moved holding her sword.
Although Yorou felt that the 2 women had absolutely no power and were not murderers, he still had to be careful if these 2 women targeted to kill Myro which caused them to disguise themselves as mother and child.
The Loth City guard troops were startled, they rushed towards the mother and child to take them away so as not to block the path of Myro with his troops.
But when the guards were ready to take them away, the mother and son stepped forward in front of Myro under Yorou's sharp gaze before kneeling on the ground.
The 50-year-old woman cried "I thank Lord Duke Victory for bringing my husband's corpse back to Azeroth Kingdom to be buried as a soldier! I have nothing left to repay Master Duke so I can only thank him! Thank you, Mr Duke! Thank-thank-".
The daughter on the other hand cried "Thank you, Master Duke, I'm sure glad to be back in Azeroth Kingdom!".
Everyone was shocked to hear the words of the mother and child, Myro who made sure their identities dropped unhesitatingly from his horse and helped the mother and child stand up "You don't have to kneel or thank me, I am a noble of the Kingdom of Azeroth so I cannot sit idly by knowing a hero like General Kelrun is hanged like a rebel. No, even if I'm not a noble, I wouldn't agree to know that a hero like General Kelrun is treated like this. You don't have to thank me for kneeling like this! Wasn't the north of the kingdom colder than the east or the middle of the kingdom? You might get sick if you keep kneeling, bring warm clothes here!".
The soldier behind Myro nodded and hurried away taking warm clothes.
Hearing what Myro said, General Kelrun's wife and son cried even more.
General Kelrun's wife said gratefully "Master Duke, you are truly a good person! Ever since my husband left, everyone treated us coldly! Neither the king whom my husband always trusted nor the noble friends and officials he knew, were all cold and refused to meet us as if treating us like a disaster. Only you keep treating us well like this, Master Duke, thank you!".
General Kelrun's son said, "Mr Duke was very kind to us, someday, I will definitely repay the kindness you gave me, father and mother!".
Looking at the 10-year-old, Myro smiled and held his head gently "You don't need to thank me! If you really plan to thank me, then you only need to do 1 thing that is live as well as possible so that your father and mother will be happy! You have to live as well as you can, find a job, have a family, and live in peace while helping your mother so that your father doesn't have to worry anymore. Can you do it?".
Kelrun's son nodded firmly "I must have helped my mother!".
Myro nodded and smiled. Seeing the mother and child in front of him who were so grateful that crying because Myro had brought Kellerun back made Myro feel, like, that everything he did to the point of having to attack the Diamant Kingdom was not a wrong choice.
