THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 205: CHANGES IN THE STATE OF RAYDE CITY
Although Kartaz tried to cover up information about Carla who died on the city wall, but in the end the news was still known by the enemy.
However, Carla is impaled on the city wall, therefore some members of the enemy forces are there to see the murder of Carla.
News spread quickly, at first some members of the Torte and Pube forces were still in disbelief. How could a Grand Duke die that easily?
But after seeing that there was no movement from the walls of Rayde and Carla City that was not visible anymore, everyone knew the news was true.
So on the 2nd day of the siege of Rayde City, the war exploded.
Everyone thought the enemy would attack Rayde City, but what was surprising was that it was not Rayde City that was attacked by the enemy but General Torte's forces and the 5th division collided with each other.
After all, they were both planning to capture Rayde City, the problem was that their goals were different. For that reason, the 2 opposing forces began to fight.
Why didn't they attack Rayde City first? The answer is Rayde City which is now too weak to make them worry, the army in Rayde City consists of about 20,000 soldiers who are very few in front of hundreds of thousands of their soldiers.
Moreover, Rayde City now lost Carla which made the spirit of the city's defense forces drop. Although Loir was appointed as Carla's successor, the warrior's declining spirit still prevailed.
If it wasn't for Tarka and Kartaz on top of the city walls, the soldiers might not have had the fighting spirit anymore that showed how much their morale was reduced due to Carla's loss.
Since Rayde City was not their main enemy anymore, General Torte and Pube considered the troops on the opposite side much stronger which was very risky if left unchecked, causing the war between them to explode.
"What's? You guys can't catch the Giro traitor at all? What exactly are you eating? Capturing 1 person trapped in the city even if you can't, you still dare to call yourself the elite defense forces of Rayde City?", Kartaz's angry screams again sounded above the city walls.
More precisely Kartaz continued to be incessantly angry at the soldiers who chased the Giro every hour because they always returned with failure. Under the anger of Kartaz, the soldiers simply bowed their heads guiltily because they had completely failed.
Seeing Kartaz continue to scold the soldiers, Loir who had been awake since yesterday held onto Kartaz's shoulder while looking sad "Kartaz, enough! The troops are also tired, let them rest first now! However they had tried their best to find the Giro traitor, there was no point in continuing to blame them".
Kartaz looked at Loir before nodding "Master Loir already said that, then Kartaz will not scold them anymore. You guys hear that? Immediately thank you for Mr. Loir's kindness!".
"Mr Loir, thank you! We must have found a traitor who dared to kill Miss Carla!", cried the failed soldiers in a resolute manner. They are indeed grateful for Loir's kindness which is not angry with them, but on the other hand they feel increasingly guilty for failing to do the job to repay Loir's kindness.
The soldiers had gone to their respective residences, however they had been busy searching for the Giro all night so as not to sleep.
"No need, be it Grandpa Tarka, General Kartaz, Torner, and all the soldiers continued to stand guard over the city walls without resting. As the new Grand Duke Rayde, how could I possibly rest leaving you guys behind?", Loir said firmly despite his extremely weak body right now.
Many of the troops around were touched by Loir's words, even Kartaz cried "Mr Loir, you are an adult! Miss Carla did not mistakenly choose you as the next successor!".
"You're a general, why are you crying in front of your soldiers?" said Loir holding onto Kartaz's shoulder so as not to continue crying "In retrospect, where is Earl Myro? I didn't see him at all!".
"When you look for Nak Myro, he left since this morning!", said Tarka remembering he met Myro in the morning "When I asked him if he was going to the city gate, Myro replied that he had other work to do".
"Another job?", asked Loir strangely, he did not understand what Myro could do in this city "Forget it, maybe Earl Myro was just afraid of the enemy attacking. Seen however, we have no chance of winning, it is not strange that Earl Myro who is not too close with us decided to leave. Not to mention that we tried to kill him, he would definitely not help us to come to life and death. All of you, keep on guarding! Even if the enemy is fighting each other right now, don't let that let you off guard! There is a possibility that the enemy will attack us at any time, all the soldiers should be ready for battle!".
"Well, Mr. Loir!", everyone shouted decisively.
Tarka looked towards Loir before directing his vision at Rayde City "Is it true Nak Myro is feeling scared? How could a lion be afraid of facing the situation, I have judged someone many times and rarely wrong. I'm sure, Son Myro will show us something surprising later".
...----------------...
On the other hand Myro was strolling around Rayde City with Yorou, while his 100 bodyguards were guarding the surrounding streets while hiding so that one would not know of their whereabouts easily.
Almost all the shops on the streets of Rayde City were closed, after all it was now a state of war that made all the merchants or residents not dare to open their stores.
Myro walked up to a blacksmith shop and tapped on it carefully.
A rectangular-shaped hole opened on the wooden door of the shop, 1 pair of sharp eyes staring at Myro "Who are you? Didn't you see our shop closing? If you're trying to buy a gun, find another store that stays open! We're not that crazy to open in time of war!".
Before the hole on the shop door closed again, Myro smiled "I don't think, you guys dare to call your own master a madman! Quickly open the door, I have an important task to give to you guys".
"Master?", said the person behind the door hesitating.
He observed Myro carefully and realized something, the hole in the door immediately closed, after which the door slowly opened.
"It turns out, sir, why didn't you say it from the beginning? I, the head of the branch of the Rayde City headquarters are ready to help master!", said the man who suddenly appeared from behind the newly opened shop door.
