Lion and the Cubs

"My lord, We have successfully distributed the gold and silver to the families and people are very grateful towards you" Joel reported the recent situation to Don.

While Joel was reporting, Don kept honing his close combat skills by hitting a wooden dummy until it blew to pieces just like the previous wooden dummies lying around the room.

Seeing Don sweating due to hitting the wooden dummies Arrora handed over a white towel to Don. Don didn't say anything but nodded her and wiped the sweat using the towel and threw the towel away.

"What's the situation among the soldiers?" Don asked Joel while controlling the air and water element around him to clean up.

"Many of them are very loyal to Warren my lord so when he bends the knee, they will without a doubt follow you..."

"What?" Arrora said with a dazed look.

"What are we gonna do about the soldiers we captured, my lord. In a way, they were just doing their duty"
