Chtung!
Orsen didn't have any time to answer, nor did he have the mental fortitude to counter Bil's statement. All Orsen was thinking and wondering now was how the conqueror started out. He couldn't imagine any specific details but Bil's statement triggered a realization in Orsen.

"Sir, yes, sir!"
