The Heaven World's

A Different Leader

After meeting with Gregor Leon and Wallace Krom. Voran couldn't just rest, but he was visited by someone else. Voran met the man in the same tent with an expression that did not change in the slightest.

“Who are you and what is your purpose in meeting me?” asked Voran in a hurry.

The well-built man bowed and said, “I am Draynir, Your Majesty. A Lord employed by His Majesty. I visited His Majesty in the evening to talk about something.”

“Oh ... You're the man that Valaunter talked about. What do you want to talk to me about?” ask Voran again with a warm smile.

“Look, Your Majesty, I have been promised a few things and I want to demand that promise. It is too early, but I want to get a guarantee if the promise really applies not just nonsense,” said Draynir politely.

Voran looked at Draynir fixedly and his eyes were so sharp. He observed the man before saying, “Didn't I have fulfilled one of my promises. I let you have your own autonomy. You can hold and lead an army, not just help. Just like what happened today. Then what do you ask for again?”

Voran had thought about this a long time ago. So, he was not so surprised when Draynir asked him to fulfill the promise he said. It is impossible for Voran to give a title or territory to Draynir just like that, so this is what he uses.

“Your Majesty did let me lead my army as well as the other soldiers. One of the promises made has been fulfilled by His Majesty. However, today's war is too difficult for me. So, I want to ask Your Majesty to fulfill His Majesty's entire promise,” Draynir replied firmly and determinedly.

Voran doesn't accept that. He doesn't care how Draynir behaves. He rejected her firmly and said, “Then what? Although this war is difficult and dangerous, there is no way I will give you that promise before you prove your worth, Draynir. I know you're a tough guy, but what you showed me today is still lacking!”

Hearing Voran's loud and stern voice, Draynir frowned. He lifted his head and looked at Voran sharply and said, “Your Majesty, I don't need territory or anything else. However, I need a confession through a title. If Your Majesty really wants me to serve, fulfill His Majesty's promise!”

Voran did not flinch and still looked at Draynir with a sharp and firm eye. There was not the slightest doubt from his eyes when he said that. Fulfilling his promise to Draynir is not something he wants to do for now.

“I will keep my promise, but not for now, Draynir. If you feel I won't keep my promise, you can leave my army and return to your place. Don't you think you have to show your patience to get what I promised?” ask Voran again.

He made Draynir rethink his request. Although Voran knew this was quite difficult to materialize. He still does. Voran believes that Draynir has more intelligence than most people and can judge things better than others.

Voran looked at Draynir who was showing some hesitation, then he connected his words earlier. “Show a little patience, Draynir. After this I will withdraw the entire army and return to the kingdom. However, I need a formidable warrior figure who can protect my troops from behind and I believe that figure is you, Draynir.”

“Help my troops back and I will give you the title of Mayor. Besides, I will grant you a city that you will lead with your descendants. All that you will get if you can do that job well!”

Voran tells Draynir the last task before he gets his promise and the task is not an easy task to do. Voran assigns the task to assess the feasibility of Draynir while finding out whether the man is loyal or not.

That night an agreement occurred and Voran did not sleep but went outside the tent to do exercises accompanied by clear nights and months that illuminated everything.

The next day, Voran ordered some of the troops to retreat back to the kingdom and took Veus, Larsson and the wounded Valaunter. At first the three of them opposed Voran's decision, but Voran paid no heed to it.

“It seems that I did not misjudge Draynir. That man actually chose to join my kingdom. I don't know what he's thinking, but joining him to my side gives a considerable amount of strength to the kingdom,” muttered Voran as he stared at Draynir who was leading his army and building a defensive formation.

Voran looked in one direction at the campsite Wallace Krom and Gregor Leon were. He looked at the two campsites that had already been stripped away. At the same time, he saw the troops marching in a quite powerful formation.

“They chose to retreat as well. This difficult choice was much better than self-destructing in this place. Too bad, my strength is not enough to deal with that man. He really is a monster. His strength is terrible!” voran thought as he recalled the scene when Salvatora dominated his three generals.

Not far from the eyes, the enemy also prepared his troops and saw their numbers far more than they should. When Voran saw that, he could not believe what he saw. “How can their quantity be more? Didn't they lose a lot of soldiers yesterday? Could they get reinforcements?”

When Voran thinks the enemy is getting reinforcements. He can no longer calm down. Not only was he outnumbered by the number of troops, but he was also morally inferior. The battle yesterday scared the soldiers especially when they were dealing with Salvatora.

Voran immediately gave Draynir orders to do his duty. Voran who had previously thought of restraining the enemy for quite some time even undoed his intentions. He chose to retreat and end this battle early.

“I miscalculated. I didn't expect them to have such a monstrous figure. Besides, they are too responsive. I have to step back and consider everything more mature. Huf ... What will happen to this coalition?” thought Voran.

After giving the order of retreat he observed the soldiers leaving their respective posts. Voran observed the entire process while calming down and he also saw Draynir who started to activate his defensive formation.

“They've come forward and looked more aggressive. Are their leaders different?” voran asked inwardly when he saw the enemy move more aggressively than the previous battle as if they were led by a different person.

Voran also sees Salvatora and a man he has never seen before. A dashing man wearing shiny and luxurious armor. As his eyes fell on the two men, he felt a danger signal in his mind. “I have to retreat, they are too dangerous for me to face!”

“It seems that His Majesty did not think easy about this battle until he sent you here, General!” salvatora exclaimed with a gentle but dangerous-looking smile.

“Many believe in Crock and you Salvatora. However, His Majesty thought further and asked me to come here to support you. Unfortunately, I see everything you've done well,” reply luxury armored man.

“Hahaha ... Well even so, I leave it all to you, General William,” Salvatora said.

The luxurious armored man smiled and scanned his surroundings with his sharp eyes. Then, he replied, “We get everything done and destroy them. Command the army to attack. Drum and blow trumpet!”
