THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 330: THE APPEARANCE OF TROOPS IN THE CITY OF LOTH
"I don't think they're afraid to remember that the Kingdom of Azeroth has the power to resist us and the Kingdom of Diamant simultaneously" Lopen said, recalling a letter he read just now "According to Count Horganef's information, The Kingdom of Azeroth sent the War Duke, the 3rd division as well as the 300,000 troops of the Kingdom of Azeroth to attack. The 3rd Division was an elite force consisting of 100,000 troops while the War Duke himself brought his 200,000 troops. Don't forget, as dukes who received nicknames from previous monarchs like master, War Duke certainly had their own special forces".
"I've heard that the War Duke has a War Force of 100,000 elite troops who have gone through thousands of wars with the War Duke! Although they do not have strong defensive capabilities like the Iron Wall Army or troops who have strong attacks like the Lord's Victory Army, War Forces are elite soldiers who have gone through many battlefields so they are able to use their best strength to defeat anyone who is an opponent of War Duke. Even when difficult circumstances such as the War Duke nearly losing to Azeroth Kingdom, the War Forces showed absolutely no signs of surrender or betrayal".
"As an army that had accompanied the War Duke for decades, their loyalty was beyond doubt".
Myro had indeed heard of the War Forces belonging to the War Duke. Different from the Victory Army which was once the 4th division and only followed Myro for several years, the War Forces have followed the War Duke since decades ago and through many wars with him.
So their loyalty and fighting spirit need not be doubted. Unless the War Duke surrendered, the War Forces would not surrender as well as fight to the death against their enemies.
"Count Horganef and the nobles who supported him had lost half of their territory to the Duke of War's attack, as he sought my help in order for me to send troops to assist him as a member of the alliance. What do you think? Do we have to help him?", asked Myro.
Everyone stared at Ren, however Ren was the one who knew the most about the advantages and disadvantages of helping Count Horganef.
Ren opened his folding fan again and smiled "I think we should give you some help! Count Horganef is indeed unfaithful to master, but as long as we help him this time around, I'm sure he will be more supportive of master in the future. Moreover, we must not allow leaders in the alliance like Count Horganef to be killed, if that happens, people will lose their trust in the alliance we made".
"On the other hand, fighting the War Duke is indeed troublesome but this is also an opportunity for us. Despite being an alliance, Count Horganef would not allow our troops to go into his territory or the territory of the nobles who supported him unless we tried to attack the Diamant Kingdom or the Kingdom of Azeroth as before. As long as we help them from the War Duke, the nobles who support Count Horganef must have started to change their minds to side with us".
"The strength of Count Horganef is different from that of Kalikav, as long as most of the nobles who supported him sided with us, he would lose power. Without the support of other nobles, Count Horganef would have no other choice but to be loyal to the lord. Even if he still refuses to be loyal, without the support of other nobles, we can clean it easily".
"So helping them against the War Duke is an opportunity for us to seize the power of the nobility at the hands of Count Horganef, I feel we should help them".
Ren stopped talking and looked at Myro, rather everyone looked towards Myro as they were going to act according to Myro's decision.
After all they were only generals and strategists, they only needed to make plans and fight while Myro was the one who determined their next move as a leader.
"Rather than waiting for the War Duke to seize Count Horganef's territory and strengthen his strength, why don't we attack him now? Tell the entire army to prepare, I know we have just returned from the war against the Diamant Kingdom, but we must move as quickly as possible before Count Horganef is defeated!".
"Okay, sir!", replied everyone in the room sternly.
But before they left, Feld's figure emerged from the open door of the study.
Feld ran over to Myro while saying a little worried "Master, something happened in Loth City! Tens of thousands of soldiers passed through the gates of Loth City and rushed towards the master mansion! Due to their sheer numbers, the arrival of these troops attracted a lot of attention of the population".
Hearing Feld's words, everyone's faces became strange.
Myro looked at Feld puzzled "Tens of thousands of troops who are not my troops passing through the Loth City Gate? What are the city guards doing? Didn't I tell you that an army of tens of thousands must not pass through the Loth City Gate, except for my troops such as the Victory Army, knights and others. Even Kalikav and Count Horganef's troops who came from the alliance were not allowed to pass through the Loth City Gate, they could only bring about 5000 troops. Why would the city gatekeeper let them pass? Who is guarding the Loth City Gate today? Isn't Retya?".
Feld hesitated for a moment and said "Master, things are a little different! It is quite difficult to explain it because it takes a lot of time, I suggested that you come directly to meet the tens of thousands of soldiers to find out what happened! At first they were unlikely to pass through the Loth City Gate if it numbered in the tens of thousands, but Retya gave permission after hearing their reasoning. Even so, Retya mobilized the entire Victory Force to keep the troops coming to Loth City from causing trouble".
Myro soon becomes intrigued, believing Feld and Retya have not betrayed him at all. Therefore, Myro was very curious as to why they allowed tens of thousands of troops to come to Loth City.
Without hesitation, Myro walked away from his house, he planned to see for himself the tens of thousands of troops that had come as Feld had suggested just now.
Yorou who was guarding the door of the study room rushed to follow Myro with her hundreds of students who were guarding around Myro's house, Ren and the others hurried to follow because they were also curious.
When just leaving from the front gate of his house, Myro found the figure of tens of thousands of fully armed troops who walked closer to Myro's house. Around the army, there were Victory Troops guarding them from causing trouble and thousands of residents who came to watch out for curiosity as to who tens of thousands of troops had suddenly appeared in Loth City.
