At that time, Selek Valaunter not only received it, but also gave a suggestion to Voran. The suggestion was quite similar to what Voran was doing.
Of course, there were a few additions to make the plan much better. Moreover, the advice given by the Select Valaunter was much more comprehensive and had several different things.
One of them, Selek Valaunter suggested attracting Lord and bandit groups into this upheaval. Just from this alone, the complexity shown by the plan was far more than Voran had expected.
Bandits as well as Lords had high power and self-esteem. Pulling them into this problem is quite difficult, but there are certain precedents that Voran can use, namely benefits. As long as they don't see any profit or benefit from Voran's offer, they won't move.
As Voran listened to all that, he thought over and over again. Besides not being able to show his weak side, he also could not be too high or arrogant towards a Lord or bandit.
Building a good relationship and working with God and bandit groups is not an easy thing. They have great autonomous power and the power that is in their hands is also dangerous and capable of being a deadly threat.
Despite being able to use dominance and strength to draw them to his side, Voran felt this was not the right time to use the means. Moreover, using violent means was not a wise choice when dealing with them.
“Pulling Lords and Bandits into battle is not easy. Do you have any plans to do that, Valaunter?” ask Voran.
“They won't act according to my orders and it's hard to set them up. You know how horrible their actions are, don't you?” he continued before Selek Valaunter gave his answer.
“They won't care so much about the ordinary residents. Looting and killing have become commonplace for them.” Voran didn't give Selek Valaunter a chance to cut his words and he continued to connect.
“I acknowledge their strength, but without discipline it's all useless. Ordinary people living in the region would be a great help compared to them, but if we bring Bandits and Lords into battle, all of that will not end well,” said Voran seriously. His brows furrowed due to the fear of the Bandits and the unpredictable God.
Select Valaunter understood the worry Voran had towards Bandit and Lord. He also did not deny it because he knew how dangerous this group was.
Often they also messed up in the territory first. Select Valaunter thought to make them attack first so as to minimize the use of royal troops.
By utilizing Bandits and Lords at the right time and place, they could reap potential benefits. Therefore, Selek Valaunter thought and suggested the use of these two powers.
“Why are you confused?” ask Selek Valaunter in a seductive tone.
“It's an easy thing. Just let the Bandits and the Lord move first. We will make them the prime suspects in that plan,”.
“We will make them mess up in the Edarecia Kingdom area. There's no need to hold them back, we're just harnessing their power. Let them do whatever they want. After the chaos disappeared, that's when the royal army appeared,” said Selek Valaunter continued his words.
“In addition, utilizing the power that is around is one of the best ways to reduce the strength of the enemy and this move will also reduce their suspicion on us!”
Voran listened to him seriously. He did not think of this at all as Selek Valaunter thought. He only looked at it from the point of view of losses compared to the gains he could make.
After Voran heard it, he felt the plan given by the Select Valaunter was not bad, even arguably good. Voran looked back at his plan and compared it to the plan given by the Select Valaunter. After a few minutes of silence and thought, he knew which one was better.
“Alright, I already understand where my shortcomings lie,” said Voran.
Selek Valaunter nodded even though he was still chained. The sight was enough to make the spectators gasp. A man imprisoned and chained gives a King advice and a plan.
“You were right about that, I should have thought more about how to maximize the potential that is in them,” he said again after realizing more appropriate utilization.
“Select Valaunter, since now you are in the same ship as me then I will appoint you as one of the generals. Hmm .. at least your position will be higher, namely, the Governor General. This is your position later,” exclaimed Voran with a serious solemn voice.
Voran raised Selek Valaunter as one of his subordinates in an inappropriate place and at a very inappropriate time. Moreover, the position of the Select Valaunter was quite bad and embarrassing.
“I sincerely look forward to your participation in the battle ahead as well as your leadership in the government of Aran Province. You know, I'm really looking forward to your performance, and you're one of the reasons why I vacated that position until now,” Voran said with a serious expression and a non-playful tone, even his aura also made the Valaunter Selek speechless.
Voran said it seriously and he didn't think at all that his decision was wrong. Giving such a high position to a surrendering opponent was not an easy decision, let alone there was a hidden danger in it.
Voran thought of the advantage he had gained when pulling the Select Valaunter to his side compared to killing him and things went as they were today.
After Voran frees the Select Valaunter from the chains. He took her to the palace which has now been converted into a mansion for the Governor.
Voran was not too worried about the hidden actions Selek Valaunter might take. Voran believed him and felt that the Select Valaunter would not do an act that only brought disaster to ordinary people.
Voran was quite calm as he walked in front of the Select Valaunter. When he glanced back, he saw the Selek Valaunter who was walking slowly with a slightly bent posture looking tired and in pain.
Seeing the condition of the Select Valaunter gave Voran a strong sense of confidence and he knew that the Select Valaunter did not have more strength to attack him. That way he was calmer as he walked in front of the Select Valaunter.
In addition, Voran awaits the return of troops who conquered four other regions. He wanted to know what the situation in the four regions was like and how the state of the troublemaking groups around the four regions was.
Voran had already obtained information about the four regions including with the powers that exist around the four regions.
Eliminating the groups around the four regions takes a short time and the strength needed is not small. Voran understood very well the amount of danger and threat brought by this group.
Therefore, Voran did not origin move or carelessness it would bring disaster to his kingdom. So, he could only hold it first.
“Looks like your body deteriorated Valaunter for too long in prison. After this you can rest and recuperate then you can start working to govern Aran Province,”, said Voran who showed his concern.
“There are many things you need to do after you hold that position. In addition to the military that needs to be revitalized, there is also a part of the government that needs to be addressed, and of course the most important thing is the condition of the population. You can't ignore all that, I want to see the results as soon as possible!” exclaim Voran reminded of the task Selek Valaunter as Governor General.
Selek Valaunter seemed calm when replying, “Quiet, Sir. I'll do my best. You gave me a chance anyway. I will make Aran Province more prosperous and safe from this moment.”
Inside the palace, after bringing back the Select Valaunter. Voran was preoccupied with various documents coming from the city of Higgster, scouts, and expeditionary forces. He read the documents coming from the scouts and immediately the look on his face became serious. His frown deepened in every word written in the document.
“Damn it! It's dangerous,” umpatnya.
“They moved first and several groups of soldiers were seen at the border. Looks like they've gathered some strength to mess up the border of the region,” murmured.
“This can't be left!” voran exclaimed as his gaze became deeper and deeper on the document.
