THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 155: THE MATCH
Without waiting for Guliger and his military leaders to talk any more, Myro said to the soldier beside him "Bring those 2 men here".
The soldier nodded quickly, he had already been told by Myro beforehand about who to bring "Alright, sir!".
Everyone on the battlefield became silent until the soldier was back with 2 people about 5 minutes later.
2 The man was an Orc bound by a rope and their mouth covered with cloth, 1 Orc tried to resist and break himself from the rope, he was none other than the crown prince of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. Until now, the crown prince was still trying to resist from Myro's capture and tried to escape.
Different from the crown prince who could not accept the reality, the prime minister's son just kept quiet and let the soldier take him. He did not fight back because it was useless, how could he have the chance to escape if this fortress was guarded by more than tens of thousands of enemy troops?
In addition, as an intelligent advisor, he had already seen through Myro's plan of using them as bargaining tools.
Knowing this, the advisor was not angry at all. It could even be said that he was happy, after all Myro was trying to bargain with their kingdom which meant that Myro did not plan to kill the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom. At most, their kingdom must have suffered heavy losses from the defeat this time around.
"The crown prince, Young Master Rolf", cried Guliger with his soldiers full of surprise and worry.
Rolf is an adviser and the son of the prime minister, Rolf's intelligence is already well known throughout the capital that makes all the soldiers know him. Not to mention Rolf is the right hand of the crown prince, which means he is a candidate for future prime minister.
The soldier brought the 2 men in front of Myro before making them kneel, this certainly made Guliger and the Orcs or goblins on the enemy's side angry.
The crown prince was the figure of a future king, how could they not get angry seeing the enemy make their future king candidates kneel "Myro! If you have the courage, come down and fight me! Aren't you ashamed to use this cunning way to defeat us? Don't you have the honor of being a soldier? Let's fight 1 on 1!".
"What are you saying is true, I am not a soldier because I am a noble!", said Myro smiling mockingly, he held the crown prince's shoulder while saying again "Guliger, what's wrong? Didn't you plan to attack Fort Rulfes? Then attack! But let me tell you 1 thing first, as long as you dare to attack the Rulfes Fortress, I will definitely kill the crown prince whom you respect so much!".
Guliger's face turned red, there was a very strong trace of anger on his face "Myro, is this the way of fighting nobles of Azeroth Kingdom? Can you only fight using this disgusting cunning way?".
"A nasty cunning?", Myro asked and laughed loudly "That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, General Guliger! As a general, you must understand that the most important thing is to win, not the strategy used to win! You must also have used this kind of cunning strategy, be it poisoning the food of the enemy soldiers, burning their food supplies, I'm sure as a general, you're gonna come up with a lot of strategies so your soldiers can win, right?".
Guliger could not speak anything more, rather what Myro said was true. He could sit in his position as a general not without reason, but he had won hundreds of bloody wars for the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
To be able to win hundreds of wars, he has used a lot of strategies, even cruel strategies that make the enemy hate him.
As long as the crown prince's life is gone, the king will definitely not let him go.
"Baron Myro, I know there is no harm in using any strategy if you can win. Well, what do you need now? If I, Guliger, could do it, I would agree!", Guliger said firmly "As long as you can release the crown prince and Young Master Rolf, I don't mind replacing him with my own life".
"General!", the soldiers behind Guliger panicked, however they had followed Guliger long ago which made them and Guliger like close friends.
Guliger raised his hand "Don't stop me, as a General of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, I should have done this already! The crown prince's life is far more important than a general like me".
Guliger believes Myro's goal is to hold the crown prince and Rolf to death. After all, as long as Guliger died, his 30,000 troops would have been greatly weakened by the loss of the leader.
Myro who was on top of the city walls could not help but admire Guliger a little. Although they were enemies, Guliger showed his loyalty and courage to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, so as not to mind sacrificing his own life.
Myro who was on top of the city wall clapped "General Guliger, I am amazed at the courage of yours! As a form of admiration for mine, how about we do a match?".
"Games?", asked Guliger puzzled.
"Yes, match! As long as you win, I will release the crown prince and Rolf, who is the prime minister's son. But if you lose, you will be our prisoner, how?" Myro said.
The entire crowd was shocked, they did not understand the purpose of Myro doing this. At least they had a chance to regain the crown prince and Rolf without sacrificing anything, but if they lost then they also lost Guliger.
Guliger closed his eyes for a moment to think before saying "I agree, I will be your prisoner and do not put up any resistance as long as we lose. But I have a requirement, the match must be a gun fight".
Guliger was not a fool, he was afraid that the match Myro meant was a match of intelligence. In Guliger's army, there was absolutely no one who was really smart so they must have lost. Therefore, the match had to be fought using weapons that were the skill of the soldiers".
"Then it is determined!", said Myro "We will do 3 matches, whoever wins 2 games first then he is the winner. The rules of the match are easy, each of us only need to send 1 person as a representative to fight each other. Unless the opposing party dies or surrenders, the winner will not be determined, how?".
Seeing no chance of winning, Guliger nodded "I agree!".
"We'll start sending troops 5 minutes later, now each of us has to determine their respective representatives" Myro said smiling discreetly, everything went according to the plan he had made before.
