Chapter 867: I will be waiting for you all
Thundar was a giant. In the Stoneheart Horde, the giants were the race that stood directly behind Orion; their honor was inextricably linked with his.
"I am pleased that I see no discouragement or self-abandonment in you," Orion said calmly, looking at Thundar. "Keep fighting. I expect our giant tribe to produce several more giant lords."
As the Elder of Combat and the leader of the cavalry regiment, Thundar was a dedicated and battle-hardened warrior. His fighting spirit had not been extinguished; Orion could still see ambition in his eyes.
"I think that when that day comes, it will not only be your glory, but my glory as well," Orion continued, his gaze shifting to the training grounds, to Pallas and all the younglings of the Horde.
His expression turned solemn, his aura majestic.
"It is tiring to carry the entire giant tribe on my own."
Beside him, Thundar trembled slightly upon hearing his lord’s expectations.
"Lord, Thundar will not disappoint you!"
"Mm. I will be waiting for you all."
One man can lead a tribe. But for an entire tribe to become strong, one man is not enough.
A prosperous horde must have a constant emergence of experts at every level. Talents of all kinds should blossom everywhere, an inexhaustible resource.
In Orion’s eyes, the Stoneheart Horde was not yet truly strong, because its internal systems for cultivating talent had not yet formed a complete, self-sustaining cycle.
