THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 147: REOPENING THE GATE
Myro and nearly 10,000 of his troops were waiting near Fort Rulfes, but they did not dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by the enemy.
Although the night was very dark, but if tens of thousands of troops were too close to Fort Rulfes then their existence would be known.
As Myro was waiting silently under the darkness of the night, finally the sound of battle cries rang out from the Rulfes Fortress.
Although their position was far away, yet the sound of the scream could still be heard a little.
Myro's eyes under the cover of the darkness of the snowy night shone, he drew the sword that was on his waist before shouting "The whole army of attack! Today we will make a new history, taking Rulfes Fortress in just 1 night!".
"Strike!", cried the soldier in front of Myro excitedly.
Myro on his horse led the Mongol Cavalry first with Ren and Lopen, while Gladius with the Roman Legion, the Praetorian Guard and Retya's new army soon followed along with the Snow Infantry and Loir's forces.
Myro's actions may have been particularly risky as the Mongol Cavalry moved too fast, leaving the infantry troops only behind.
But Myro had no other choice, if they were late then Falka and Retya might be killed then they failed to seize the Rulf Fortress.
Myro did not mind failing to capture Fort Rulfes, however he could continue to try as long as he had sufficient troops.
But as long as Myro lost Retya and Falka or someone of them, it was the biggest loss because Myro was the same as losing a talented general beside him.
Therefore, Myro had to move as quickly as possible before losing his great general.
...----------------...
Above the walls of the Rulfes Fortress, Falka stepped forward with the Mongol Cavalry behind him.
Seeing Falka's movements, the captain of Fort Rulfes' wall hulls knowing their purpose "Stop the enemy! Don't let them get near the gate opener!".
Under the words of the captain, the 500 troops on top of the walls of the Rulfes Fortress began to step forward.
"Dash!".
Falka slashed his sword without hesitation and 2 soldiers were killed as a result of the attack, then he continued to slash the troops that were in front of him nonstop.
Under Falka's ferocious attack with the Mongol Cavalry, these 500 soldiers were not opponents at all.
The captain who saw all that decided to step forward towards Falka while taking his sword "Dead, the villains!".
"But!".
Falka held back the captain's sword attack easily, then she kicked the captain's stomach which made him fall to the ground and pierced the captain's heart.
"Stabs!".
The captain opened his eyes wide full of disbelief, as a person who could be appointed to be the leader of 500 troops, he definitely had a strength that could not be underestimated. But in the end, Falka could kill him easily.
Falka drew her sword from the captain's body and continued to kill the enemies that were around her.
When he escaped the siege of 500 people, Falka's entire body was already covered with blood.
But Falka ignored all the blood on her body and ran towards the people who were still trying to close back the gate.
Now that the gates of Fort Rulfes were half closed, the soldiers who tried to keep the gates closed found Falka who was approaching with some Mongol Cavalry so they tried to fight back.
Their resistance to Falka's power was completely meaningless, they were defeated easily and Falka allowed the 5 Mongol Cavalry to reopen the gates as large as possible.
"Shelf!".
The face of the newly emerging advisor from the fortress changed as he found the gate re-open.
He stared at the surrounding soldiers who were standing foolishly due to the gate that opened again, they did not understand why the gate was reopened, but it was almost closed.
Advisors exploded in anger at the actions of these soldiers "What are you doing? The enemy tried to reopen the gate, they've managed to take the fort walls but you guys still stand idiots here? Just go! Take back the fort walls!".
The soldiers regained their senses, they rushed up the stairs to climb the city walls but found Retya with his 200 troops still standing there guarding the stairs.
Around Retya, there are approximately 400 bodies. Among all the corpses, Retya himself had already killed up to 100 troops which showed just how terrifying a power he had.
Even so, Retya's breathing is very heavy now. No matter how strong he is, he is still human. According to Retya, he could at most maintain this ladder for 5 minutes.
When the enemy troops were still preoccupied by Retya, the sound of horse footsteps could be heard.
The faces of the soldiers of Fort Rulfes changed because they knew that the help of the enemy troops had come, from the weight of the sound of these footsteps, the number of enemy troops was about 1000 more, which made them even more panicked.
"Quick! Close the gates before the enemy comes!", shouted the adviser who became increasingly panicked with the nearer the enemy.
"The advisor need not worry, we will overcome this" said a tall Orc who was beside the advisor, then he stepped forward with 1000 Orc troops towards Retya.
These 1000 Orc troops were higher than the other Orc troops around, besides they also had a stronger aura.
This Orc army was none other than the Wolf Cavalry that the crown prince was carrying, this Wolf Cavalry captain stepped forward to the depa of Retya while carrying a large sword that was higher than 2 meters on his shoulders "Woman, I must admit you are so strong! Even though the 100 troops you killed were not elites, I could not kill even 100 people alone like you".
"If we fight fair, I may not be your opponent. But you can only blame yourself for daring to attack the Rulfes Fortress carrying only 400 troops, I don't know if your master is so stupid? He sent a general as great as you just to die here, what a fool! All of you, kill all the other enemy forces, I will fight this woman!".
"Well, captain!", the 1000 troops behind the captain rushed forward against the 200 troops behind Retya.
Falka's face on top of the city wall became gloomy, they were still busy fighting the 500 surviving city wall guards so that they could not provide assistance to Retya and his troops. If it continues like this, there is a chance that Retya will die.
Looking at Retya who was just silent, a joking smile appeared on the face of the Wolf Cavalry captain "Little woman, don't tell me you're scared now because you can't see a chance to win? No need to worry, I will kill you painlessly and then thwart your master's stupid plan!".
Retya who lowered her head slowly raised back her face looking at the Wolf Cavalry captain, her red eyes were visible under the darkness of the snowy night and Retya's angry voice could be heard "I don't care what you say about me, but ever since you mocked my master, you should be ready to lose your head!".
