THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 324: FUNERAL
The next day, on the morning of the day the new sun rose and many people had not yet awakened from their sleep. Loth City was different from any other day at this time, if it was another day then most of the residents in Loth City would still be in their homes either sleeping or having breakfast.
But today, most of the residents in Loth City stand on the left and right side of the city road thus forming a street in the middle.
It was not just the residents of Loth City, even the residents in the surrounding towns gathered in Loth City which made the entire streets bustling.
Although the streets of Loth City were crowded, everyone was quiet enough that it made the situation strange.
However, when this many people are gathering, they generally fuss and talk to each other. But the residents of Loth City were mostly silent, those who spoke even if only spoke in the smallest voice possible so that Loth City was still quite silent.
Myro used a light black armor both onto the stage in the city's eastern town square close to the barracks, where tens of thousands of coffins were already waiting.
Around the coffin, there were Victory Squad members preparing to carry all the coffins.
On the east side of the city at the front of the city is a large burial area, therefore the sleeping gate is not often passed by traders because this area is a cemetery of residents and soldiers.
Myro who went on stage followed Yorou, Ren and Feld behind him.
Myro looked at everyone before shouting "I thank all of you who have gathered here, as you know a few days ago I attacked the Kingdom of Diamant and brought back the corpse of the hero of the Kingdom of Azeroth, General Kelrun to be buried properly. But during the action, tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. Today, we will all bury all the fallen soldiers and give them a final resting place!".
"They may not all be heroes, but they are my brave soldiers! They are great warriors who have fought on the battlefield accompanying my journey! I'll make sure they're all given a soldier's funeral! Any soldier who has fallen on the battlefield, their family will be protected by the government! Whether it's food, clothing or education, I'm sure the children and wives of the fallen soldiers got all of that! I may not be able to give them wealth and power, though at least I can make sure their children and wives don't go hungry, the parents who lost their children on the battlefield also received enough food, as well as the children of the soldiers received an education that was not inferior to the other children! I'm the Duke of Victory, Myro Aras makes sure they all get it".
"If you know of a family of fallen soldiers who did not receive help, do not hesitate to tell me! I The Victory Duke made sure anyone who dared to eat the aid money for the families of the abandoned soldiers, all of them would be put to death even though they were important higher-ups under me though! For the courage of the fallen soldiers, for the sacrifice of our comrades who have gone first, for the departure of General Kelrun who protected the Kingdom of Azeroth for decades, all the soldiers, pay your respects!".
Myro raised his hand and saluted towards the empty street in the middle, Ren as well as Feld and Yorou behind Myro saluted.
Not only that, the knight warriors, the Roman Legion, the Praetorian Guard, the Snow Infantry, the Samurai, the Herfu troops, the retired Kelrun troops, all the troops and residents around the City of Loth paid their respects.
Although Myro's cry could not be heard by the entire population of Loth City, but when they found the people around them began to pay their respects, everyone saluted.
The entire City of Loth became silent, there was no talking sound or drum whatsoever but rather the sound of uniform footsteps.
The front coffin is Kelrun's coffin, his son and wife walking on the right side of the coffin along with 4 Victory Troops carrying the coffin.
Kelrun's wife hugged his daughter while crying, Kelrun's 10-year-old son was certainly crying, but there was a little smile on his face because he felt happy that Kelrun could finally be buried like a soldier.
Kelrun had been protecting and working hard for the Kingdom of Azeroth for decades, even he did not become rich because Kelrun always gave his wealth to help others.
But Kelrun did all the good, he did not expect a reply from the person he helped. When Kelrun was still alive, he once told his son and wife that he did not need anything in return from the kingdom or people he had helped, Kelrun felt enough if he could be buried like a soldier.
Among the coffins, there was a family of fallen soldiers walking beside the coffin crying.
Myro allowed the family to continue accompanying the coffin until it was buried, so all the families of the fallen soldiers walked around the coffin with the Victory Army.
After all the coffins passed through Myro and made their way to the east side of the city gate where the cemetery was located, Myro in no way lowered his respect but continued to pay his respects.
Not only Myro, everyone continued to salute without lowering him even though the Victory Warrior carrying the coffin was gone.
Myro looked at the Victory Troop that was going further and further before saying sadly "Ren, we must end this war as soon as possible!".
Ren did not speak and just nodded, understanding that a leader must feel guilty about the death of his soldiers. Myro was not the cruel King Diamant I.
Though feeling guilty, Myro would not stop fighting until he succeeded in becoming king and defeating all other threats such as the Kingdom of Diamant and the Kingdom of Azeroth.
Because as long as Myro stopped, the other 2 kingdoms must have attacked Myro. Neither Diamant I nor Azeroth VI, they would let Myro go even if he gave up all his power because there were so many talented people around Myro who came from the World, they must be afraid of the threat of Myro followers.
...----------------...
King Azeroth VI looked at a soldier kneeling in front of him confusedly "You said General Kelrun's army managed to leave Azeroth Kingdom and go towards the territory of the Victory Duke? Are you guys stupid? Out of so many officials and soldiers guarding the border, none of you can stop tens of thousands of soldiers from leaving the kingdom? How could the departure of tens of thousands of soldiers happen without you knowing?".
