That night the whole land of Elves raged. The screams and screams of the attacks continued to echo interspersed with the screams of death. Until late at midnight, two strategic points have been mastered. It was a teleportation point towards the New King's residence as well as the residence of Prince Glenn. There were still three other teleportation points that they had not managed to subdue. That is the teleportation point to the residence of the Former Prime Minister, the Royal Advisory House and the Main Palace now occupied by the War General of the Orc forces.

The border region with the Fairy country, can be secured, assisted by the border guards of the Fairy Country and the two White Wolves. Now, more than half of the city became the territory of the Crown Prince and his troops.

Both armies suffered heavy losses. Many Elf soldiers were killed and injured. The Orcs have nothing to lose. They lost two army leaders. The two were killed on the way back to their respective duty points after a meeting with the Orc War General. One more Orc leader, critically. And now taken prisoner by the Crown Prince.

“We rest in turn. Do not get to the point that we have mastered, captured them again! Crown Prince's Order.

“Good, Your Majesty,” replied the leaders of the troops.

Other cities still need to fight to be conquered. They rest in the morning. The tree elves quickly hid the bodies of the dead soldiers and placed them under the God tree. The elder of the tree Elves again performed a great death ceremony that early morning.

Meanwhile, the wounded soldiers were again taken away to the houses of the residents whose areas were controlled by the Crown Prince.

King Felix was greatly relieved that the Crown Prince, Prince Levyn and Angel survived. The Crown Prince eventually occupied Glenn's residence as a point of defense. His subordinates immediately put up a large tent there, for the residence of Prince Glen had become ashes. He lived there with his bodyguards and loyal servants.

Angel, along with her wounded servants, were evacuated to King Felix's residence for treatment. Prince Levyn is now accompanying his wounded mother with guilt.

“I'm sorry, Mother,” said Levyn full of regrets.

He couldn't see the huge burn his mother had. Also the other female servants who were so loyal to protect her mother.

“Rondha, thank you for saving my mother's life,” she said sincerely.

“That's my duty, Prince,” said Rondha blushed.

The pain from the severe burns on his back that left him only able to lay face down, no longer felt too much pain after getting the attention of the kingdom's most handsome prince. The others were delighted to see their prince of pride return safely.

At his defense, the Crown Prince held a meeting with the team leaders. They wanted to re-plan a second major attack, to seize the palace.

“We can no longer make surprises like the attack last evening. They must have anticipated whatever we thought,” said one of them.

“I think we should strengthen the defense of what we have achieved. The palace of His Majesty King Felix should be a priority of security. Do not get away again, like they destroyed the fortress under the palace,” said another.

“I know. Levyn's bodyguard said that when the castle fortress was attacked, he was looking for Levyn. He saw two giant balls of fire that instantly burned and paralyzed the guards of the fortress,” added the Crown Prince.

“That's terrible. What kind of fireball did they send it?” another timpal with a horrified expression.

“We must anticipate such an attack being re-used by Orcs to cripple two important points of this country.” Others returned to give opinions.

“How about we cooperate with the Fairy Country? We were very helped when we crossed the border, when we fought and now, it is the Peri state border guards who guard the border post there,” advised the troop leader who previously followed Prince Glenn.

“Good suggestion. I'll send a message to my aunt and uncle there. It's just, it has to be remembered. We're just asking for help. The outcome is up to their consideration. So don't be too reliable!” The Crown Prince nodded.

“How about we also ask the Blue Dwarf Country for help, to guard the border in the western part? Isn't that place also the border of their country? At least come along, or give help. Hadn't we already secured the place for months until their country was safe from Orc attacks!” a troop leader who had previously stood guard at the western border, looked a little annoyed.

“I'll send a message there too.” The Crown Prince agreed.

The short meeting ended. All squad leaders return to their respective posts. Keep it not to be separated and re-controlled by Orcs.

Prince Glenn and his private army continued to search for Cristal's trail. They crossed three villages until that evening. However, the whereabouts of the Princess is unknown. What they found was the conditions concerning the small villages that the Orcs passed through. The three villages had become dead villages. Because the entire population has been poisoned to death in the chest.

“They are vile once!” furious Prince Glenn. They had just burned down the last village they had met that day.

“Not Orcs if you have a conscience,” ketus others.

“We rest here, tonight,” break up Glenn.

They managed to secure some foodstuffs from three villages that had been left dead by residents. That's how they fill their stomachs. Simple and full of misery.

“According to you, where did they take my daughter?” ask Prince Glenn.

“If you see this many villages that they managed to conquer, then the possibility of the Princess being ushered to the leader of a team that is likely in the Witch Kingdom,” replied one of his subordinates.

Glenn looked at him. “So, our direction is correct?”

“What if the Orcs actually return to their country through the border of the Witch country?” someone cut off his friend's words before he could answer Glenn's questions.

Glenn nodded. “Hemm .. You also have a point. These two are probably balanced. It's just that we don't have time to check both of them. We can only think of goals one by one.”

“Daddy. Our team is just a little.” His other guard, chimed in.

“Alright, we rest first. Hopefully tomorrow we can get a bright spot,”

Glenn signaled that the discussion was over.

***

In the country of the blue dwarves, the furore began to be felt. Hot news about the fall of the Elf country, has become a hot topic and is discussed everywhere.

“Aclude! How the Elves actually went to ask for help in the middle of the sea. What despair they are!” the other word.

“The news is that the palace and its king have fallen. Do you believe that?” ask the others.

“Why does our king not send help there? Have we not been helped so much?” ask the others wonder.

“You're right. If there were no Crown Prince troops on that border, then the Orcs would have long taken control and made a riot in that border area!” censure the others.

“Do not like that. The King is probably considering what help can be given to the people of the Elves!” the food stall keeper defended his king.

“He will not think too long. Because if the Elf army really falls, then our country will be the next target!” he said tell.

“Hah! Again you are right!”
