THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 119: THE CITY OF ROREC
The Cavalry Province was the most recent province in the Kingdom of Azeroth, the province was directly adjacent to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom with Rorec City under Baron Aras as the closest part of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
Rorec City was a city belonging to Baron Myro, although it was no more prosperous than Loth City due to its location on the border, but ever since Baron Myro took control of this city then a great change had also occurred in Rorec City.
There are about 20,000 people living in this city, but there are not many traders who dare to open this store because this city is the closest of the enemy kingdom so it risks being attacked and fell into the hands of the enemy kingdom.
Even when the Cavalry Province was still a kingdom of its own, Rorec City often fell into the hands of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom despite later being recaptured by the Cavalry Kingdom.
In the vicinity of Rorec City there are some fields that are owned by the inhabitants of this city, but at this time no residents dare to go to the fields, but at all, rather, they just hide at home in fear.
The reason the residents did not dare to leave their homes was because there were tens of thousands of troops besieging the city.
The city of Rorec has been frequently attacked for several days, but has never been attacked by this much force. Previously there were only hundreds of enemy soldiers attacking Rorec City, but today there were tens of thousands of enemy troops that left the entire city shocked.
A man wearing full knight armor to cover his entire body climbed up the city wall, he was none other than Aclan who had been given the trust by Myro to guard this city.
For 4 years, a 10-meter-high stone city wall has been built to protect Rorec City. After all this city was the one most frequently attacked by the enemy, so Myro was very concerned about building a city wall of stone here after the completion of the stone wall in Loth City.
When he had just climbed up the city wall, Aclan immediately greeted the knights who had been guarding there.
Aclan looked carefully at all the troops on top of the city walls.
There were 1000 knights who did not look afraid at all, although there were many enemy troops surrounding them, the faces of the knights still looked normal as if this was no big deal.
Then there were 1000 new troops and 1000 guards of the original Rorec City, Rorec City's guard troops were the city guards formed by Aclan himself, most of the city guards were from the residents of this Rorec City itself.
The Rorec City guard force was made up of people who had been the guard troops of this city before Myro came, they were troops that had existed since the Noem Family.
Rather than dispose of the men who had been trained to fight as soldiers, Aclan decided to use them again.
Therefore, the city's guard troops were not too afraid of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom's attack this time because they had fought many wars defending this city since the leadership of the Noem Family.
Different from the city guards, the new troops were already trembling slightly in fear.
"How is he?", asked Aclan to the knight beside him.
This knight is Aclan's deputy, Fred. He had accompanied Aclan from a long time ago and through various wars, so Fred could gain Aclan's trust.
Fred shook his head with a bitter smile "The situation is not good enough, 10,000 enemy troops are already besieging the city. Their 7,000 troops consisted of goblins, then there were 2000 Orcs and 1000 Wolf Cavalry. Whereas we only have 3000 guards, although aided by the city walls, in the end our elite army only consists of 1000 knights".
"The problem is, these new soldiers continue to fear that makes them definitely not able to fight effectively in the war later. If not the support of the knights and city guards, I believe these new soldiers have already fled this city. Moreover, I have already sent a letter to master to explain the enemy that is besieging Rorec City. I don't know if you will send help or not, but, even if you send help then it will take about 2 days to reach Rorec City. Under these circumstances, I doubt I can defend this city for 2 days".
Aclan was not surprised at Fred's words, the knights were indeed an elite army but the enemy Wolf Cavalry was no less elite than them. They are assisted by the city wall but there are beginner troops here, while the enemy has an army 3 times larger than them.
If the leader of this team is not very skilled, it is difficult to defend the city for 2 days. But who is he? He was Aclan, the man who had won many wars with fewer troops than the enemy until dubbed the walking fortress. How could a person like himself have trouble surviving for 2 days?
Aclan stepped forward and said to Fred "We will not survive, but our goal is to win this war!".
Fred was not surprised by Aclan's words, even he just smiled a little. As a person who has followed Aclan for a long time, he is very clear about his nature. If it was anyone else then Fred was unsure, but if it was Aclan, he was very confident about his ability in the battle with the fortress.
Without a doubt, Fred followed behind Aclan "Okay, captain! Let's bring victory back to you!".
Aclan stood in front of the troops guarding the city walls, the sudden appearance of Aclan attracting the attention of everyone.
When all eyes were on him, Aclan drew his sword and pointed it towards the sky "Pull your weapons, are you not ashamed of being afraid of the enemy when you are a soldier? Listen to this carefully, as long as we fight bravely against the enemy then we will win, here we get the help of the city wall that makes the enemy difficult against us".
"While if you retreat, do you not think about the consequences? Behind us are our families and people who are valuable to us, as long as Rorec City falls, then the next enemy targets are Loth City and Vendes City. I'm sure you all must have people who are important to you in this city, even your family might be in Rorec City".
"Therefore, you must fight and win! Show your resolve as a soldier, I will bring victory to you! I, Aclan trusted Baron Myro to defend this city! So, for your family, for the person who is precious to you, for the Baron Lord who already trusts us, fight and then bring back the victory!".
"Fight!", the troops behind Aclan immediately drew their weapons and held them aloft.
Even the previously frightened new soldiers became excited under the shouts of the knight troops as well as the city guards around them.
Hearing the cries of the troops behind him, Aclan smiled "Now, the war has begun!".
