THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 84: LOPEN
As Myro recalls that he once told Lana to call back Lopen with his troops and Falka's 300 cavalry, a soldier rushed towards Myro in a panic.
Based on the armor he used, Myro knew that this warrior was the guard of the city gate. Therefore, he came here probably related to the arrival of troops to this city, Myro was quite sure that this soldier reported about the arrival of Lopen's troops.
"Report, Mr. Baron! In a state of emergency, over 1000 troops are moving in this direction! They were all heading towards Loth City!", cried the soldier who immediately knelt in front of Myro full of panic.
The Falka beside Myro and the several Mongol cavalry guarding him strengthened the grip on their weapons, although they thought that the incoming force was most likely Lopen, but it never hurts to be careful until they have really ascertained who the troops that come.
"More than 1000 troops? What kind of troops come here? Have you seen it?", asked Myro again to be sure.
"Although their positions were far enough away that I was a bit difficult to see more clearly, I was sure that most of them were infantrymen with swords and shields in their hands. But there were some cavalry also in their army which numbered 200 to 300 cavalry" the soldier said full of losses as he could not see everything clearly "In addition, he said, I realized that this army is a little strange. Be it their shields or armor had a strange shape, it seemed like they were neither from Azeroth Kingdom nor Orc-Goblin Kingdom. As for the bandits, I'm not sure there are any bandit troops that have soldiers like these elite soldiers, I'm sure they are all trained troops".
Hearing the report, Myro wasted no more time "Let's go, we must welcome the arrival of the troops who have come all the way here to answer my call".
After that, Myro walked away from this place with Ren, Falka and some Mongol Cavalry troops.
The soldier who reported this was very surprised, he thought Myro would panic when he found out, but it turned out that Myro immediately went to the front gate with a smile.
The soldier regained his senses quickly, he stood up before running after Myro as quickly as possible.
...----------------...
Myro walked to the front of the wooden gate of Loth City to find that the soldiers and residents around the gate looked very panicked, as thousands of soldiers rushed closer towards Loth City.
More than 1000 fully armed soldiers marched towards the city, in the vanguard were infantry troops numbering around 800 and had bronze armor and armor.
They were wearing exposed headgear on the face, there was a terrifying aura all over the body of this infantryman.
Behind the infantry there were about 300 cavalry similar to Falka's Mongol cavalry, no matter who saw the arrival of this army they must have thought it was an elite force.
The simultaneous footsteps of these elite soldiers sounded even closer, as they were already 200 meters away from the walls of Loth City, a young man about 15 years old who was about the same age as Ren stepped forward.
He took off the iron helmet that protected his head and shouted "Sorry for being late in answering the call of the master! I, Lopen, the leader of the Praetorian Guard came to help sir! I've brought the entire Praetorian Guard and hope that you will allow me to bring my troops closer to the city".
This young man had short silver hair that looked like Lana, it could even be said that he was Lana if he became a man.
Like her brother, Lopen had a handsome face as well as a gentle smile on his face. Any woman who looked at that smile would have thought of Lopen as a prince.
Lopen is now 15 years younger than Ren, while her sister Lana is about 17 years old. But because of Lana's mature attitude, it's not strange people think of her as a 20-year-old woman.
Myro took a breath before shouting "Izin received, you guys can get close to the city!".
Obtaining permission from Myro, Lopen again moved his troops towards Myro.
He knelt down in front of Myro before saying "Master, sorry for Lopen's delay. When we were almost there, we coincidentally found a bandit headquarters big enough that I decided to clean it up first and came here".
Myro waved his hand "It doesn't matter, I've already thanked you for trying your best to come here. With you and the Praetorian Guard, I no longer need to worry about my protection as well as the City of Loth".
"Master need not worry, as long as there are still Praetorian Guards standing, we will not allow any attacks to injure the master! We definitely protect the master as best we can even if it means losing our lives" Lopen said firmly, the face of the 800 Praetorian Guard who knelt behind him also becoming resolute.
Myro again observed the troops that were under Lopen this.
The troops brought by Lopen was an infantry force from Rome, the Praetorian Guard, this army was used as a bodyguard for the Roman emperor at that time.
The Praetorian Guard was formed by Emperor Augustus to guard himself and serve as a secret police officer, so rather than a soldier fighting on the battlefield, Praetorian guards are better suited to be bodyguards or police who enforce law and order in an area.
Their existence is very important, however Falka and the Mongol Cavalry are indeed strong but they are not very suitable to be bodyguards, the Mongol Cavalry is more suitable to fight directly on the battlefield.
Therefore, Myro had decided to use the Praetorian Guard as a bodyguard for himself either on the battlefield or while he was doing daily activities.
Although an expert as a bodyguard, this did not mean that the Praetorian Guard could not fight.
According to Roman history, the Praetorian Guard had fought many important wars, such as against the rebellions of Pannonia and Germania.
But in Roman history, the Praetorian Guard committed treason or murder against the emperor due to their growing political power in the Roman Empire. Fortunately they were now from the World, so Myro did not have to worry too much about their loyalty and could hand over his escort to the Praetorian Guard.
Before Myro could say anything, a woman leading the 300-strong Mongol Cavalry stepped forward and knelt down on "Tuanku, Retya, deputy leader of the Mongol Cavalry Force, on her knees, have come to answer the call of master as well!".
