Tyrone was a warrior of the Black Tortoise race. He was the same age as Oliver and he started following Oliver at a young age. They rested and cultivated together. It was safe to say that he was not only Oliver's right-hand man, but he was also like his brother.
'Follow you?' Tyrone was stunned. "Everyone's packing for the move. Why do you want to gather everyone?"
Oliver did not want to talk much and urged, "Save the questions for later and gather everyone now. I want to do something groundbreaking."
Tyrone did not ask any more questions and quickly gathered everyone. A few minutes later, about 5000 Black Tortoise Warriors had gathered. The warriors were governed by Oliver and each of them had great power.
Without hesitation, Oliver brought a few thousand people and left the territory to move towards General Grunt.
…
Meanwhile, at the demon's territory, Darryl was seated on a rock at the junction, waiting for Leia. He was perplexed when he saw Oliver had stopped Leia on her way to meet him.
Darryl had experienced the same before. Initially, he did not understand as he had no bad blood with Oliver. However, seeing Oliver talking against him and seeing him stopping Leia, he finally understood that he liked Leia and that was why he disliked him.
Just as Darryl was lost in thought, he heard a gentle voice call out to him, "Darryl, Your Excellency!"
He looked up and saw Leia's slim figure standing before him. He was stunned and snapped out of it. He chuckled. "You're here!"
Seeing Darryl acting goofy, Leia burst into laughter and asked, "Darryl, Your Excellency, what were you thinking? You looked rather distracted."
Darryl scratched his head and chuckled. "Are you and Oliver alright?"
'What?' Leia shivered and pursed her lips. "Darryl, Your Excellency, do… Do you hate me?"
Darryl shook his head. "No. I can't thank you enough for taking care of me for the whole day. Why would I hate you?"
"Then why are you asking me to leave? To me, you're a hero and the demons' benefactor. And, my father has agreed that I should stay here and take care of you. Many warriors witnessed it. If you don't allow me to stay with you, and if my father and the warriors find out, they'll think that I've offended you," Leia was riled up and said pitifully.
In the end, her eyes became red and her tears were almost falling.
Seeing how pitiful Leia looked, Darryl became frazzled and quickly comforted her, "Hey, hey… Okay, okay. Don't be sad. I won't ask you to leave, okay?"
Darryl was not afraid of anything except a woman's tears.
