THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 130: RESPONSE TO MYRO'S VICTORY
In the Northern Province, this previously extremely peaceful place had already turned into an extremely ferocious battlefield.
Every day, tens of thousands of soldiers would fight each other.
On the side of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom were 70,000 troops consisting of 40,000 goblin troops, 20,000 Orc troops as well as 10,000 Wolf Cavalry.
While the Northern Province has approximately 150,000 troops that are 2 times larger than the Orc Goblin troops.
Despite having more troops, the people of the Northern Province were not yet convinced to win this war.
The reason was that the 10,000 troops of the Wolf Cavalry actually made them hassles, the Wolf Cavalry had nimble movements that could shock their enemies.
Then there were still 20,000 Orc troops that had terrifying strength, these Orcs had strength above human infantry.
Not to mention, 70,000 troops of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom led by a famous general, General Guliger, he was dubbed as the number 1 general in the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
Guliger is now a 50-year-old Orc, he has been a soldier since he was 5 years old and led the army at the age of 10 years.
In addition, Guliger had already gone through many battlefields. Even he won several difficult wars such as with 1000 Orc troops, Guliger had defeated the siege of 5000 human troops.
Although Guliger was strong, the leader among the forces of the Northern Province was also not weak.
Their leader was none other than the northern border general of Azeroth kingdom who had been guarding the border for decades, General Herfu.
His position might not be as strong as General Limo who led the entire army of the kingdom's elite infantry, but in terms of strength and intelligence as a leader then he was no less powerful.
However, the border general was an important figure who guarded the Kingdom of Azeroth from attacks by other kingdoms, when the border general was weak, the Kingdom of Azeroth had long been defeated by other kingdoms.
So, any figure who could become a border general would definitely not be a random person. At the very least, the ones who could become border generals were only those who had gone through hundreds of battlefields of fire and blood before being able to sit in those positions.
After having an army 2 times that of the enemy, Herfu was still unable to win. The reason was not because of Herfu's lack of ability, but rather his army could not join completely.
Among the 150,000 troops, 100,000 belonged to Herfu but the other 50,000 belonged to the nobles.
The nobles were very selfish, they were trying to gain as much advantage as possible on the battlefield without suffering any losses.
Therefore, they advised Herfu troops to be in the front row in order to collide first against the enemy forces that must cause many casualties.
Herfu certainly also knew the idea of these nobles, this made Herfu disagree.
If the nobles did not plan on taking any advantage, Herfu would have agreed. The problem is, this noble hopes that Herfu troops fight to the death while the nobles will come with him when getting an award from the king for successfully defending the border.
He was not a cruel person, but Herfu was not at all interested in being used like a fool by these nobles.
Herfu is a 50-year-old old man, he has short hair that has been white due to the age of his master. Despite that, Herfu's body was still very strong and muscular which was incompatible with his age.
There was an aura of blood and ferocity throughout Herfu's body, this was not an aura that one could obtain haphazardly but rather this aura could only be had for those who had already gone through many battlefields and won.
As Herfu was busy observing the battlefield map in his study, a knocking sound rang out from the door.
"General, I have the latest report from the Cavalry Province", the voice of a soldier who is the representative of Herfu is heard.
"From the Cavalry Province? Were the nobles and soldiers there already defeated by the enemy? It's too soon, when it's not a week" Herfu said, he wouldn't think that nobles or soldiers there could defeat the forces of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom "Take the report to me!".
The door of the room opened, a man handed a letter to Herfu.
Herfu picked up the letter then opened it, as he read the letter then Herfu's face turned into a strange "Borderly noble in the Cavalry Province could actually win from the Orc-Goblin Kingdom army? Even they managed to seize 1 city, was this news fake?".
"General, this news comes from the scouts of our own troops who are there, they cannot possibly deceive us" the deputy said.
Herfu nodded, however the scouts and his soldiers were the ones that Herfu trained themselves so their loyalty could not be doubted.
"Who is Baron Myro?", asked Herfu curiously again.
The representative hesitated for a while before replying "It seems that Baron Myro is the newly appointed noble as he has helped the 4th prince a lot to win the Cavalry Kingdom. In addition, Baron Myro was the son of Baron Aras who lost to the earliest Orc-Goblin Kingdom. I don't know very clearly about their relationship, but it seems like Baron Myro was once banished by Baron Aras who made their relationship not very good".
"Not only that, Baron Myro also managed to advance his territory which was the worst region in the Cavalry Province. Now that the Baron Myro region became the 2nd best region in the Cavalry Province in addition to the provincial capital itself, he also had friendships with Marquis Gerda's daughter, Fila Lon Gerda. I heard that Myro was a smart and strong boy, he had great knowledge on the battlefield or managing the city, and then there were many experts who became his loyal followers".
Herfu looked at his representative strangely "You know a lot about this Myro Baron?".
"I feel that Baron Myro will be the star that shines brightly throughout the entire Azeroth Kingdom, therefore I find out more information about him. There is a possibility that the child could become a border general or even more in the future!", the representative said.
Herfu was more and more surprised, he had been fighting with this deputy since he joined the royal army. Therefore, they were comrades in arms.
He is well acquainted with this representative nature of his who will not give high judgment to others without reason, but he actually gave a high appraisal towards Myro which meant that this Myro really had the possibility of succeeding.
Herfu gave back the letter and said, "Isn't my grandson still among the soldiers? Let my grandson go help Baron Myro while carrying 1000 Snow Infantry soldiers and 5000 other infantrymen".
"General, you mean?", asked the Herfu representative in confusion, he did not understand why Herfu had to send his own grandson to the battlefield where Myro was too risky.
"Let the boy learn from Baron Myro! All this time he was always under the protection of his mother and me, if it continues as it is then he can not develop. Therefore, the child must learn the real life and death experience. This Myro Baron was of a young age but already extremely talented, that kid could definitely learn a lot from Baron Myro. Not only that, we can provide assistance to Baron Myro in order to capture more enemy-owned cities again" Herfu said confidently "As long as he has captured enough cities, as long as he has captured enough, The 70,000 troops of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom can definitely be surrounded that is we will face them from the front while Baron Myro attacks from behind, do not let these 70,000 troops return alive to their kingdom again!".
