However, the current reality is that despite all the waiting, no soldier could measure up to Gullianot's level. While there were plenty of competent individuals in areas like tactics and strategy, direct combat prowess was significantly lacking. After much deliberation, the appearance of the Heroes finally provided a solution. Still relatively young, Gullianot felt genuine joy at their arrival. Though he had no immediate plans to step down from his position among the Four Knights, the emergence of potential successors was a considerable relief.
Initially, Gullianot harbored some skepticism, wondering if these Heroes were merely riding on their title without having the substance to back it up. But his doubts were swiftly dispelled upon witnessing their abilities. He felt a deep sense of regret for even momentarily doubting them, as the Heroes' capabilities far surpassed his expectations.
