Movement

The advice given by Selek Valaunter was nearly identical to that given by Voran. Of course, there are some things that are far superior to being included. Aside from that, Selek Valaunter's advice is much more comprehensive and includes a variety of suggestions. For example, Lord and bandits. The plan's complexity was far greater than Voran had anticipated based on this alone. Bandits and Lords both had a lot of power and self-respect. They will not move as long as they do not see any gain or benefit.

When Voran heard this, he couldn't help but show his frailty. The formation of a partnership with Lords and Bandits was not an easy task. They had strength and power in their hands, after all, and nothing could shake them from their position. Fighting them is also a bad idea if you can't get rid of them all at once.

"It's not easy to entice Lords and Bandits into battle. Do you intend to do that, Valaunter? They will not act, and it will be difficult to control them. You're aware of how heinous their actions are, aren't you? They would be unconcerned about the common people. Looting and murder had become routine for them. I recognize their strength, but without discipline, they are worthless. The commoners over there will be of great assistance, but bringing Bandits and Lords into battle will not end well," Voran stated solemnly. His brow furrowed in worry for the erratic Bandits and Lords.

Selek Valaunter recognized Voran's concern for the Bandits and Lord. He also didn't deny it because he was aware of the danger this group posed. They frequently messed up in their former territory as well. Selek Valaunter considered having them attack first in order to reduce the use of royal troops. Using Bandits and Lords will provide you with significant benefits as long as you use them at the appropriate time and place. As a result, he did not change his expression.

"Why are you perplexed? It's a simple task. Allow the Bandits and Lords to move first. We're going to make them prime suspects in the scheme. We will cause them to wreak havoc on the Edarecia Kingdom's territory. There's no need to restrain them; we're simply utilizing their power. Allow them to do whatever they want. It was time for the royal army to appear after the chaos had subsided. Taking advantage of the forces around you is one of the best ways to weaken the enemy!"

Voran sat there intently listening. He didn't consider it in the same way that Selek Valaunter did. He only saw it from the standpoint of loss versus utilization. He felt that the plan that Selek Valaunter had given him was not bad, if not good, after hearing it. Voran returned to his plan and compared it to the plan given to him by Selek Valaunter. He knew which was better after a few minutes of silence and thought.

"All right, I already know where I went wrong. You're correct; I should have given more thought to how to maximize their potential. Now I know it's time for them to band together and destroy the Edarecia Kingdom's territory. They were a truly dangerous force that could not be ignored. I'm not sure how they got to that size and scope." Voran smiled, then looked at him more closely and considered something else.

"Selek Valaunter, now that you're on the same ship as me, I'll make you one of the generals. Hmm... at the very least, Governor General, your position will be high. This will be your position in the future. I eagerly await your participation in the upcoming battle and in the governance of the Aran Province. You know, I really look forward to your performance, and you are one of the reasons why I vacated the position until now," Voran said solemnly, his aura also making Selek Valaunter silent.

Voran said it seriously, and he didn't think it was a bad decision. Giving such a high position to a surrendering opponent was a difficult decision, especially because there was a hidden danger involved. Voran had given careful consideration to the benefits of luring Selek Valaunter to his side as opposed to killing him. Selek Valaunter was freed from the shackles of chains as a result of his efforts. He escorted him to the palace, which had been converted into a mansion for the Governor.

He wasn't concerned about Selek Valaunter's possible hidden actions. Voran believed it and was confident that Selek Valaunter would not do anything that would cause more harm than good. As he walked in front of Selek Valaunter, he was composed. When he turned around, he saw Selek Valaunter walking slowly and with a slightly bent posture, as if he was exhausted and in pain.

Voran was filled with confidence just by seeing this, and he knew Selek Valaunter lacked the strength to attack him. That way, when he walked in front of Selek Valaunter, he was calmer. Besides, he was waiting for the army that had conquered the other four regions to return. He was curious about the situation in the four regions, as well as how the trouble groups in the four regions were faring.

Voran had already learned about the four regions, as well as the scattered powers. Eliminating them would take a long time and a great deal of strength, and Voran was well aware of the danger and threat that this group posed. Of course, Voran remained motionless, knowing that his carelessness would bring disaster to his kingdom.

"It appears that your health is deteriorating, Valaunter. After that, you can rest and recuperate before returning to work on governing the Aran Province. When you get that job, you'll have a lot on your plate. Aside from the military, there is also a part of the government that needs to be improved, and, of course, the most important thing is the state of the population. You can't ignore it all; I need to see the results as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best," Selek Valaunter said calmly. "You did, after all, give me a chance. From now on, I will make Aran Province even more prosperous and secure."

After returning the Valaunter Selek to the palace. Voran was preoccupied with Higgster City documents, scouts, and expeditionary troops. With a serious expression, he read the contents of the scouts' document. His scowl deepened as he read the document's contents.

"Goddamn it! This is perilous. They were the first to move, and several groups of soldiers could be seen at the border. They appear to have gathered enough power to destabilize a territory! This is not acceptable."
