The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Nothing went wrong during the brief separation.

One day after Aarons took back the demons, Keliya returned to the border territory with good news. Since Corinth was unable to judge the exact strength of the empire, he finally accepted the negotiation request that was almost blackmailing.

A large amount of supplies and magic source stones will soon be delivered here, and the most important part of the next plan has also been basically guaranteed.

But before fulfilling other commitments, Aarons has other things to do.

“…Are all the people outside here?”

"They are all here. The surviving tactical officers of the Yumonhana, the volunteers who never left, the demon representatives, and the military personnel are all outside."

"Then it's my turn."

The fact that Aarons had returned to the border territory was not deliberately concealed, and those who learned about it were quite emotional - especially those crew members who had fought together on the Prison Flower and survived.

Being able to survive such an incomprehensible death situation and return unscathed, even if he himself does not have any power, his ability to create miracles is enough to be admired.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Aarons Moti... Oh, at this point, this last name has no meaning anymore."

The empire has fallen apart, and the nobles are divided into two factions, supporting two princes in their fight for the power to rule the country.

Therefore, the surnames and titles of the nobility really have no value anymore.

"Some of you here may be very familiar with me, some may have only heard of my name, and some may be hearing about me for the first time."

Standing on the temporary platform and looking around at the different people gathered in the square, a calm yet burning flame rose in Aarons' heart.

He already knows what he can do and what he should do.

"And the first thing I want to say is, whatever rumors you may have heard or what you may have seen me do, forget it now."

As soon as these unexpected words were spoken, the people in the audience immediately looked at each other in confusion.

Because most of the people gathered here are actually supporters who know that Aarons has special "abilities" and are convinced that he can accomplish great things.

But he wants them to forget what happened in the past, why?

"I guess you have heard about it before. I went to the south not long ago, where I repelled the Twilight People who had been threatening the safety of the empire... and came back alive."

Many people know about this and are well aware that it is not as simple as Aarons says.

In that battle, Aarons saved the defeated border defense army with only one warship, and even wiped out the arrogant high-ranking leaders of the Sunset Kingdom in one fell swoop - he even saved dozens of surviving crew members at the cost of his own life at the end of the battle.

Although no one knows how he survived the horrific psychic explosion, for most people who benefited from him directly or indirectly, he is already a true hero.

"But I'm not the hero—they are."

Following these slightly heavy words, Aarons reached out and picked up a stack of letter papers of different sizes, holding them in his hand and showing them to everyone in the audience.

Those who knew what those things were immediately exclaimed.

"This is the suicide note left by those who failed to come back before they left."

——There were a total of 131 crew members on the Yumonka when it set out, but in the end only 32 survived.

"You all know who the Aarons are, but who can remember their names? Who cares who they used to be when they have no chance of coming back here?"

It is precisely because he knows what kind of responsibilities and sacrifices he bears that Aarons stands here and tells everyone the answer he finally found.

"Then I will be responsible for remembering them - all those who followed the direction I pointed out but did not make it to the end. I will remember their names."

A so-called leader does not necessarily have to possess top-notch military strength or wisdom, or any abilities that ordinary people cannot match.

There are only two things he has to do - point the way forward for those who follow him, and then take responsibility for all the sacrifices and consequences.

Because those who fell had always believed that he could create a better future, so they were willing to sacrifice their lives to pave the way forward for others.

In order to live up to these sacrifices, he absolutely cannot stop.

“So, I will make a declaration to everyone here - I will restore the order that this country deserves, eliminate all the villains who trample on the future of others, and let all those who fight for a better tomorrow realize their wishes.”

This is not only a declaration, but also a commitment.

And Aarons will never evade again until his promise is fulfilled.

“Then, I will remember the names of everyone who sacrificed their lives for this cause.”

——This is actually also a funeral.

What kind of lives did those victims, who were known only to a few people, live?

Even if they are nothing special and are just small characters in this world, it does not mean that their lives are meaningless.

And precisely because Aarons is also a weak person, he will never deny the significance of the existence of the weak.

"So, if you are willing to believe me, just keep going."

When Aarons finished saying this, the audience was already silent.

These were not inspiring words, nor were they promises or expectations for the future - he just told them that someone would still remember their names after they died.

Then, after a brief silence, the audience suddenly erupted into astonishing cheers.

"——I swear to follow Lord Aarons until death!"

As the shouts turned into a huge wave of sound, the fire in Aarons' heart also became more intense.

Yes, why didn’t I realize it before?

"Next, I will hold a funeral for them... and all of their names will be engraved on the tombstone."

Although I don't want there to be more names on the tombstone, as long as I keep moving forward, there will inevitably be more victims in the future.

So all Aarons has to do is remember their names and... move on.

"…Is this all right, Master?"

When Xia Ye, who had been standing beside him, asked Aarons in a low voice, Aarons subconsciously looked at the people in the audience again.

It was as if he wanted to record this scene forever.
