THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 146: PLANS TO ATTACK THE FORTRESS OF RULFES
A few hours after Myro won the combined forces of 3 cities, all the Myro army's top brass gathered in a tent.
The faces of everyone in the room became extremely cautious, they all stared at Ren and Myro as if waiting for their explanation as to why it was letting so many enemy troops escape.
Especially Loir, he at least understood Myro's plan to do all these things, according to him the act of letting many enemy troops escape is a foolish action without any advantage.
"I'm sure everyone must have been very curious about my decision just now, therefore Ren will explain everything to you now" Myro said.
Ren stood up from his seat, he began to explain under everyone's curious gaze "I'm sure almost all of you are wondering about this decision of mine, I have to admit that the plan we're going to do next is very risky. But as long as this plan is successful, we can take Trock Fortress with just overnight!".
Everyone in the room became interested, after all they knew how strong the defenses of Rulfes Fortress were so it was almost impossible to seize the fortress with just overnight, so everyone looked back at Ren carefully.
Ren opened his folding fan while covering half of his face "I know you all must have thought, after about 2500 combined forces of 3 cities fled then they must have joined the forces of Fort Rulfes. It will hurt us, however, the army at Fort Rulfes will become stronger and harder for us to take it. So how do we use that? We also have approximately 1000 Orc Goblin prisoners on our side, as long as they move towards Rulfes Fortress disguised as a favor, I believe they can move towards Rulfes Fortress without any problems. Moreover, the troops in Rulfes Fortress would not be able to distinguish the Orc Goblin army from the 3 cities and the Orc Goblin army from Folk City right?".
Loir immediately raised his hand "I think your idea is good, but there are still many weaknesses. Even though these prisoners have already joined us, don't forget they are still enemy troops! If they get out of our hands and go to Rulfes Fortress, why do they still have to cooperate with us? Wouldn't it be better to work together to tell our plans to the Rulfes Fortress army and then start making traps, as long as we are defeated then those who were previously considered traitors can become heroes. No matter what, the prisoners only have a short time to join us, as long as they are given freedom, I'm sure they must have betrayed".
Ren was not angry at Loir's question, but kept smiling "Good statement, of course I've also thought of this plan. Our goal of sending troops to the enemy side is not to disguise as the enemy troops linger, but rather we just need to leave the gate of the fortress open. We send about 400 troops, can't be too many because too many troops must make the enemy suspicious".
"After that, 400 troops will open the gates of Fort Rulfes using deception. When the gates are opened, 400 troops will storm over the walls of Fort Rulfes and defend the gate opener so that the enemy does not have a chance to close the gates again. During this time, our main forces will be attacking Fort Rulfes. The troops there must be unprepared for our sudden attack, not to mention that the gate of the fortress is open so that the enemy forces do not have the advantage of the city wall defense anymore, do you think we will still lose?".
Loir asked again "There is still a weakness, who of the 400 troops we sent? If we don't send the Orcs-Goblin, our plan will be found out".
"We only need to send 100 Orc troops, while the goblin army is human. Do you not think that Goblins and humans are not much different as long as human skin is given a green color like goblins? Besides, we'll start this plan at night. With the dark effect of night, the enemy will be more difficult to realize the lack of our goblin troops" Ren said closing his folding fan, these are all plans that he has "Does anyone still mind?".
Loir did not speak anymore, he felt this plan was really good which made him look at Ren full of appreciation. As a person who can make this strategy, Ren is indeed a great strategist.
Falka and the others also did not mind anymore, they finally agreed to the plan.
"Then, now determining who would go to the enemy stronghold alongside the Orc army" said the grim Myro "Attacking Rulfes Fortress along with 400 troops is too risky, too, so the leader who does this must be strong enough for the plan to succeed and be ready to accept the great risk of death. I hope there are 2 leaders who carried out this attack so that the possibility of success of our plan can be greater and 2 leaders can protect each other".
...----------------...
Whether it was the troops on top of the walls of the Rulfes Fortress or the ones carrying food were shocked when they saw the sword piercing them, the captain who was on top of the city wall immediately realized this was a trap.
But before he could shout, someone among the enemy goblin troops stepped forward while shouting "The whole army is advancing! Take over the city gate opener!".
The advancing figure directly passed through the already open city gate, there were 2 Orcs trying to stop its path but that figure drew his sword and slashed 2 Orcs to death very easily.
This man was none other than Falka, after he defeated 2 Orc guards then he brought his troops up the city wall through the stairs.
"Captain Falka, I will guard below with 100 Orcs and 100 guards, as long as I am alive, no one else can climb up the fort walls. Therefore, Captain Falka could climb up the fortress wall and kill all the enemies there, then seize the city gate opening tool! Don't let the enemy close the city gates again so that the lord's army can attack!", shouted someone who led 200 troops to form a defensive formation on the stairs.
"Don't worry, Retya! The master plan must have worked!", said Falka who rushed up with the other 200 troops.
Retya who was guarding the stairs found hundreds of troops running towards here to stop them from seizing the gate of the fortress, after all they knew that if the gate of the fortress continued to open, the risk was too great.
Suddenly half of Retya's body was covered in black, Retya's eyes turned red and a cold smile appeared on his face "I haven't fought like this in a long time and was just busy training new troops, Retya said, I don't know if my abilities have diminished? You guys came at the right time, it's time for me to see if my abilities have still not decreased!".
Retya led his 200 troops and defended the ladder.
Ever since Falka and the others started the attack, the alarm had already been activated by the troops guarding the city wall so that more and more troops who had previously slept instantly woke up and rushed towards here. Fortunately Retya was downstairs, otherwise the newly arrived enemy troops would definitely add trouble for them to seize the city gate control tools.
Falka who arrived at the top of the city wall found only about 500 troops standing guard here, after which Falka saw the enemy troops had started trying to close the gate of the fort again.
He knew he could not let the enemy close the gates of Fort Rulfes again or that Myro's troops would not be able to attack here, so Falka immediately shouted "The whole attack force! Don't let the enemy close the gates!".
