THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 202: 5 DIVISIONS
Myro knew from the beginning that the Kingdom of Azeroth was on the subject of the Torte rebellion, but he was very surprised to learn that the 5th division of the Kingdom of Azeroth would be sent directly.
What is the 5th division army of Azeroth Kingdom?
As is known, the Kingdom of Azeroth is the largest kingdom in the Northern Continent with thousands of cities and a lot of nobles and officials.
Not even a few nobles have frightening powers like Grand Duke Rayde, therefore the royal family must have enough power so that no one dares to question their leadership.
To overcome this, the Kingdom of Azeroth formed 300,000 elite troops consisting of elite infantry, cavalry and navy all led by great generals.
Not only that, each province also has a royal guard force formed from the population of the province.
But all that was not enough, the territory of the Kingdom of Azeroth was too wide that made King Azeroth II worried that there would be a rebellion someday.
The worried king decided to form 5 royal divisions each consisting of 100,000 troops per division, so 5 divisions had 500,000 troops ready to fight at any time.
Different from the border troops that protect the Kingdom of Azeroth from the attacks of other kingdoms as well as regional troops that only protect the provincial area where they are on guard, the, 5 Divisions can spread throughout the Kingdom of Azeroth to defeat all rebellion against the king.
They were just like an elite army that was loyal to the king and did not need to submit to nobles or other officials, even princes had no power to govern them as long as the king was alive.
All the troops of the 5 divisions were also not from noble families or officials, but rather they were poor residents of the Azeroth Kingdom. By being part of the 5 divisions, the Kingdom of Azeroth will look after their families and ensure that it is not starved that makes the soldiers very loyal to the king without fear of fighting even the Grand Duke.
The troops of the 5 divisions consisted of all positions, there were infantry, cavalry, archers and shield warriors so that they could close their respective weaknesses. Different from elite troops that are separated based on their position, such as separate cavalry and infantry.
Although very powerful, since King Azeroth V stopped attacking other kingdoms, the 5 divisions rarely made any moves. They practiced every day while waiting for the next king's decision, without the king's decision then the 5 divisions would not move.
Because of this, many people forget the existence of 5 divisions.
Now, in order to deal with Grand Duke Rayde, the royal party directly sent a 5th division showing how prepared they were.
Although the weakest, no one dared to underestimate the 5th division because the ability of all the troops in the 5 divisions was very strong, at least they were only under the elite forces of the Azeroth Kingdom.
"What's going on? Why is the 5th division here?", asked Carla grimly "Is King Azeroth V not afraid of making all the nobles in the kingdom his enemies?".
Myro nodded, according to him, the actions of King Azeroth V were too careless.5 divisions moved only through the decision of King Azeroth V which means attacking Grand Duke Rayde was the king's decision, the problem was that the other nobles must have been angry to know the king was trying to clean them up the nobles.
Grand Duke Rayde was, after all, the leader of the nobility in the north, as long as the king fought Grand Duke Rayde directly then the other noble families would definitely feel worried that the king would clean them up as well which caused all the nobles to join up against the king.
"I do not know, we only received a letter from the general of the 5th division of the Kingdom of Azeroth that they came here to help you fight the rebellion" Giro said, thinking of Kartaz's previous words "But they did not fight each other in front of the gate of Rayde City, but General Torte's troops were on the left side of the gate and the 5th division troops on the right side of the gate. They don't look like partners, but they're not enemies either, I don't understand what's happening to them".
Before Carla could understand, Myro was already smiling "Most likely the goal of the 5th division is not to help you fight the rebels but to wait for you to die! As long as Carla and Loir die, Grand Duke Rayde's position becomes vacant. Although Rilia was alive though, she was too young to lead the Azeroth Kingdom. Therefore, the deaths of Carla and Loir could be the reason for the Azeroth Kingdom taking back Grand Duke Rayde's territory".
"Other nobles will also not join against them because the initial purpose of the 5th division is not against you but to help you against the rebels, although some will be suspicious but without proof it is useless, it is useless, you died by chance in Rayde City, not because of the royal side that made the nobles have no reason to join against the kingdom".
Everyone's faces changed hearing Myro's words, they didn't expect things to be this complicated.
Especially Tarka, if he knew everything would be the way it is now, he would have brought a lot of troops with him.
Among everyone, Carla's face did not change in the slightest which made Myro very curious about this woman. Is Carla a person who always thinks without panicking or is she just being strong when in fact panicking?
Carla thought quickly before saying "No problem, it means that Torte and the 5th division will not join the attack on Rayde City because Torte plans to become Grand Duke while Azeroth Kingdom plans to remove 1 Grand Duke that is me. Because of these problems, they definitely did not cooperate. There was even a chance of them fighting each other! Anyway as long as they didn't cooperate, Kartaz would have been able to hold them off for 1 week until the relief forces from another city arrived".
"Miss Carla, I think help from other cities must have been difficult to come here" Giro said, growing more worried after learning how bad they were now "I heard that not only the 5th division came here but the 4th division of the kingdom came. But the 4th Division does not fight, but they only spread throughout the city in your area so as not to provide assistance to Rayde City. Not just the 4th division, but a small part of General Torte's army did the same".
"We are stuck!", said Carla a little speechless "It seems that King Azeroth V and Torte are determined to win, they are moving their best strength to be able to defeat me".
Myro was also surprised because the 5 divisions had long since not shown their figure anymore, but to fight Grand Duke Rayde, who was the only one in the world, King Azeroth V moves 2 of the 5 divisions directly showing how strong King Azeroth V will be in this war.
