THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 154: DO NOT GO FORWARD!
Herfu along with his troops really managed to be held by the young captain just by using 30,000 troops.
Even Herfu himself felt a little disbelief, there really was a figure who could hold him on the enemy side even though Herfu had more troops.
This made Herfu a little speechless, especially the young captain on the enemy side was very expert at raising the spirits of his soldiers which made Kita Aras even harder to seize.
After trying to make plans several times with the military leaders he had, Herfu could only admit that it took them at least 5 days before it could defeat the young captain on the enemy's side.
Knowing this, Herfu could only sigh and hope that Myro with his grandson could last for 5 days until they arrived.
...----------------...
On the other hand, Guliger was carrying 30,000 of his troops rushing towards Fort Rulfes.
Although they left as quickly as possible, the distance of Aras City to Rulfes Fortress was still a great distance which made them spend hours before they managed to arrive.
When it came to the nearby Rulfes Fortress, it was already approaching night so Guliger decided the soldiers to make camp and rest tonight, they would make an attack tomorrow morning.
Although they must seize the Rulfite Fortress as quickly as possible, do not let Herfu with his army come first and surround them.
But Guliger also knows that it is useless to let troops continue fighting if they are exhausted. It is even possible that they would lose if their troops fought under the pressure of exhaustion, so Guliger let his troops rest today and attack tomorrow.
Looking towards the Rulfes Fortress, Guliger said coldly "Because you have already made the Orc-Goblin Kingdom lose the talent of a great young captain on the battlefield, then I will also make Azeroth Kingdom lose their young noble talent! I must have retaken the territory of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, and then one day destroyed the entire Azeroth Kingdom".
...----------------...
At night, Myro and Ren and Lopen stand on the walls of Fort Rulfes while observing the Guliger camp.
Beside Myro, Loir stood up while observing. But different from before, now Loir has a lot of respect for Myro.
They may have only known for a few days, but Loir has seen for himself the greatness of Myro. Be it his strategy, strength or courage, Myro was indeed a great person like what his grandfather had said.
This made Loir have great respect for Myro, he was sure Myro was destined to be someone great in the entire Azeroth Kingdom.
"Who thinks the enemy forces are dividing his army! Most likely half of the enemy forces remained in the Northern Province to restrain my grandfather's movement, while the other half returned to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom and attacked the Rulfes Fortress. I'm sure the famous General Guliger is also in the camp, however General Guliger is an important military figure in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, his army will not allow the generals they respect to die on the battlefield", said Loir who already knew the enemy's plan "But I have to admit, whoever the enemy made this plan, he must be quite intelligent. In such a state of crisis, he could still think of the best plan to resolve this matter. Baron Myro, do you have a plan? As long as we are not careful, we can be the losing side".
Before Myro could answer, Falka who was guarding the city walls with the Mongol Cavalry had already stepped forward "Master, let me make a night attack on the enemy side! They just arrived here from Aras City, the enemy troops must still be exhausted. Not to mention they won't be ready for the night attack we did, I'm sure we can win without any problems".
Myro shook his head while smiling "Falka, your plan is indeed good if our opponent is not the famous General Guliger of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. As a general who has gone through so many battlefields, I believe Guliger must have prepared guards around the camp. When we attack the camp, the guards will definitely be the alarm that awakens the entire enemy army to our attack".
"Not only that, our goal this time is not to kill Guliger. I have another plan that's more precise".
Everyone except Ren looked at Myro full of curiosity, they were wondering what the purpose of Myro was this time.
After that Myro walked back to his room in the fortress with Ren and Lopen.
There's a reason why Myro didn't say all his plans, because there's still Loir.
Loir is not a follower of Myro so there is a possibility he sided with the kingdom, Myro's next plan is based on the aim that the Kingdom of Azeroth does not get the most benefit, therefore Myro did not say anything just now.
When Guliger was killed, what happened? Will Myro obtain the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom and create his own kingdom? The answer must be no, the territory of the captured Orc-Goblin Kingdom will belong to the Kingdom of Azeroth which does not give any advantage to Myro.
Rather than allowing the Azeroth Kingdom to become stronger as a result of acquiring new territories, why not allow the weakened Orc-Goblin Kingdom to become its allies even if it did not mean they were full partners, instead, but Myro and the Orc-Goblin Kingdom work together.
If that was before, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom would definitely not agree to cooperate with Myro. The problem is that they are now weakening, they definitely do not reject this cooperation that greatly benefits Myro.
A smile appeared on Myro's face "Luckily I have those 2 people in my hands, as long as the crown prince and the prime minister's son are still here, he said, The Orc-Goblin Kingdom will definitely take a loss at cooperation later in exchange for those 2 children!".
Myro walked back towards the fortress.
...----------------...
The next day, 30,000 enemy troops marched in front of the gates of Fort Rulfes.
Fort Rulfes has 2 gates, the rear gate where Myro attacked before and the front gate that was the target of Guliger attack.
Myro troops on top of the city walls had also prepared, their faces firm and already holding their own weapons.
When the sun had risen higher, Guliger drew his sword "The whole army of attack! Today, we're going to reclaim--".
Before Guliger could finish his words, Myro's figure appeared above the city walls "Wait a minute, don't go forward!".
Everyone on the battlefield was immediately attracted by Myro's words, they wondered why Myro thought he could stop Guliger's forces from attacking.
Seeing the attention of everyone already heading towards him, Myro who was on top of the fortress wall shouted with all his might again because their distance was too far away, if Myro screamed a little, Guliger would not be able to hear "General Guliger, are you sure you will attack Fort Rulfes? Aren't you a loyal general of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom? How dare you betray and attack this place!".
Everyone on the battlefield froze as a result of Myro's words, they did not understand his meaning at all.
Why were the Guligers considered traitors when they attacked the enemies of the Azeroth Kingdom?
Different from his soldiers, Guliger suddenly starts to understand Myro's plan a little so he has a bad premonition.
"Baron Myro of Azeroth Kingdom, what do you mean? Don't forget we are enemies, attacking you who are enemies of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom is not an act of treason! Do not try to trap our General Guliger through your words, General Guliger's loyalty to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom is beyond doubt!", shouted a captain in the Guliger army who felt Myro had gone mad.
"Are you sure?" said Myro smiling strangely "Then let me show you the reason I said all that just now!".
