THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 23: WHY DID THE KINGDOM OF AZEROTH BRING THESE BEGINNERS TO WAR?
Looking at his soldiers who were shouting excitedly, a confident smile appeared on the 4th prince's face.
He walked towards a man from the elite Azeroth Kingdom soldiers in charge of leading these 7000 troops. After all these 7000 troops were only armed residents so they could not lead the battlefield at all, therefore the 4th prince chose the deputy of the Serpent as the leader of these 7000 troops.
"I leave it to you" said the 4th prince with a friendly smile.
"It's an honor to have the prince's trust, I must have taken down the Trock Fortress despite having to use my life!", cried the deputy of the Serpent happily, after all not everyone can gain the prince's trust.
"Don't let me down, show me everything you've learned as my representative for decades" said Jerat, who holds the deputy's shoulder.
"I definitely didn't disappoint the captain" the man said excitedly.
The 4th Prince and the Serpent went to stand at the side, then the 4th prince said "You can start!".
Vice-Jerat nodded, as he had already obtained the 4th prince's permission then he drew his sword without hesitation "The whole soldier, listen up! Show the valor of the army of the Kingdom of Azeroth, today we will change the color of the black Trock Fortress to blood red with the blood of our enemies! Whole army, attack!".
"Light!", shouted the 7000 troops who pulled their weapons.
After that these 7000 people rushed forward under the leadership of the vice-Jerat, without formation or anything, they just advanced forward carrying their weapons as well as stairs. After all Trock Fortress is too high, it is impossible not to use the stairs if you try to climb up to the top of Trock Fortress.
Ren who was behind Myro immediately shook his head "All this fight is over!".
Myro just remained standing still at the side, he was curious if everything was really as Ren said yesterday.
On top of the city walls, General Ritke who was a 40-year-old man with short brown hair and a thin enough body saw the attack of the Azeroth Kingdom troops with a gloomy face.
"What is the Kingdom of Azeroth thinking? Why did they bring these newbies to the battlefield? Whether the Kingdom of Azeroth belittles us or is as true as the information we get that this warlord is just a prince who has never fought before" General Ritke said with a thought, suddenly a smile appeared on his face "If I can catch the prince then it might be exchanged for a lot of money from Azeroth Kingdom".
General Ritke drew his sword before yelling at the 2000 troops around him "You all are prepared, even though the enemy has a larger number than us but they are all beginners who are given weapons, they are not at all against an elite force like us! Show them why this Trock Fortress could survive for years from the Azeroth Kingdom attack!".
"Aaaaa", the 2000 Trock Fortress guard troops shouted excitedly, despite the number of enemy troops more than them yet there was not the slightest trace of fear on the faces of these soldiers.
They had been an army for decades and passed through many battlefields, therefore this matter could not scare them at all.
The guards of the city walls instantly drew bows in their hands and shot towards the Azeroth Kingdom troops, a rain of arrows immediately ensued.
In the face of this rain of arrows, those 7000 troops could only stand in fear. While some people who had a faster reaction immediately raised their shields to hold the arrow.
"Stabs!".
Dozens of people were killed as a result of being pierced by arrows, the representative of the Serpent who managed to hold the arrow using the shield in his hand shouted "Don't be afraid, victory is in sight! Keep forward!".
Vice-Jerat stepped forward again while continuing to raise his shield just in case, yet he suddenly realized something that the 7000 troops behind him had not followed his movements at all.
The face of the vice-jerat became very gloomy, he shouted towards the troops behind him "What are you guys doing? Didn't you guys hear me say to keep moving forward?".
No matter how the deputy of the Serpent shouted, then this troop did not step forward.
After all, before going to this war, they were just residents who had never seen a corpse before. So they were all very frightened when they saw their dead comrades, even among some of the troops, there were those who vomited as a result of not being able to bear to see the bloody incident.
"I can't die here! I still have family at home!", shouted a soldier among the 7000 troops.
The entire battlefield became silent, then an avalanche reaction was imminent.
These soldiers cried out in fear and then turned to flee from here, there was no military order at all because they had never trained as soldiers.
Seeing the 7000 troops instantly collapse and flee, everyone froze. Even General Ritke was speechless, he never thought that these 7000 troops were too weak like this.
General Ritke regained his senses, knowing that this was an opportunity so he shouted "Shoot! Kill as many enemies as possible before they go from the distance of our arrow area!".
Hearing the cries of their general, the 2000 troops of the Cavalry Kingdom regained their senses. They drew their arrows to shoot the Azeroth Kingdom troops trying to escape this.
The face of the vice-jerat turned white like paper, he bellowed furiously at these fleeing troops "What are you doing? As long as you keep moving forward then we can win, but whoever steps down must be punished by the military, in the end you must be sentenced to death-".
"Stabs!".
Before he could finish his words, an arrow pierced the body of the vice-cloak. A long time later, several other arrows followed until approximately 5 arrows pierced the body of the vice captain of the Snapper.
He was too angry to forget that he was still in the enemy's arrow territory, the deputy of the Jerat lowered his head to find 5 arrows piercing him.
Vice-Jerat spewed out a mouthful of blood, ever since he became the deputy of Jerat then he thought he had a bright future, at least he could continue to lead the battlefield and then rise to become a leader.
But who would have thought that he died in a place like this, the representative of the Jerat stared into the sky one last time before shouting "Glory to the Kingdom of Azeroth".
After that his body fell to the ground, it was impossible for him to survive after being shot at 5 arrows like that.
Looking at the Azeroth Kingdom troops who were continuously shot down by arrows, Myro said "Falka, I am not happy to see our comrades being shot down like game animals. Even though we don't know each other, we're in the same group now. Give enemy troops a warning".
Hearing this, Falka nodded "I understand sir".
Falka got off her horse and stepped forward with her bow. Although there were many troops fleeing past him, Falka did not care at all.
He placed an arrow in his bow before aiming at the wall of the enemy city, then he released the bowstring he pulled.
The arrow that Falka fired flew rapidly towards the Trock Fortress Wall, then something that shocked everyone happened.
"Stabs!".
General Ritke who was on top of the wall fell sitting on the ground as a result of an arrow piercing his hand, the entire army on top of the city wall was shocked to see that "General Ritke!".
Those who had been shooting arrows at 7,000 enemy troops stopped their movements because they were worried about their general's condition.
General Ritke paid no attention to the cries of his soldiers, but instead looked around the battlefield to find out who shot this arrow at him.
Suddenly Ritke's eyes finally fell on Falka's body in the middle of the battlefield.
Falka lowered her bow, she discovered that Ritke was staring towards her so Falka could not help but open her mouth "This is just a warning, next will be your death!".
Although their position is very far away which makes it impossible for Ritke to listen to what Falka said, but he can find out by reading the movements in Falka's mouth.
