Herald of Steel

The old man was no greenhorn to politics or warfare and knew the things the soldiers were doing now were natural and to be expected.


But what he really wanted to do was to hold Alexander accountable for all the atrocities and then have Ptolomy sacrifice him to save the royal reputation.


But with the stirring speech Alexander gave just now, that event seemed unlikely,


'Didn't they say he was a slave just five days ago? How is he such a good rhetor?' The old man and the group's de-facto leader spookily asked in his heart.


He did not need a translator as he spoke Thesian quite well and hence the real, raw speech felt even more powerful to him.


And he started to grow even more fearful of the former slave who was said to be blessed of Gaia.


Although he didn't buy those claims, he even considered the Adhanian royal family's claim of divinity as nothing but more than a convenient tool, he did begin to recognize Alexander as a man of extraordinary means.
