บท 224: For You

"I must be at the front of the army to inspire and rally my troops," I said, "But these mindless minions don't require my presence to fight. They will follow orders and do as they're told, whether I am at the front or at the rear."

"No, I disagree. These minions are easily replaced, but I am not. If anything were to happen to me, there is no way to replicate my skills and abilities. It is safer for me to stay at the back and let my minions handle the battle. People don't ask a victorious leader how they won; they simply remember the victory. That's all that matters, my lady," I explained.

She nodded in understanding, and we continued on our journey. The village we were headed towards was located a few hours away from my city. When we arrived, we found a large wall enclosing the town. However, as the intelligence variant minion had informed me, the wall was not particularly tall.
