THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 246: THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE
Some time ago, Dark Elves had always heard noise in their caves close to the surface.
Therefore, Kerzan sent some Dark Elves troops to find out what happened.
When he found out that there were actually humans who dared to mine iron in their territory, Kerzan exploded in anger. He let hundreds of black spiders kill all the enemy miners. Based on previous observations, there was no one strong among the miners.
But as the spider army begins to attack, Kerzan discovers something surprising: there is a powerful Dwarf figure among the miners.
The dwarf is able to defeat hundreds of spiders alone using his hammer. Although some of the soldiers provided assistance, most of the spiders were killed by the Dwarves.
Kerzan knew he could not let these powerful unknown people stay beside them constantly, they could become a threat in the future.
So Kerzan let the spiders keep watching their movements while he prepared an entire army to clear the entire miner using 1 move, the problem was 1000 troops suddenly came to his aid so all his plans failed.
Kerzan has no idea, the spider he let watch over the mine was actually known to Tron a long time ago.
But Tron decides not to kill the spider sent by his enemy, so that the enemy does not become more careful due to seeing the full power of Tron that frightens him.
Kerzan placed his finger on the table with a heavy sigh "Even if the enemy has left, don't let your guard down! You let the 100 spider cavalry keep an eye on the mine that used to be enemy territory, as long as they dare to return, you must report it to me as quickly as possible so that we can instantly kill them".
"Okay, General Kerzan!", said the soldier saluted before stepping away.
After the soldier had just left, Kerzan sat in his chair full of fatigue. Actually being a ruler in Dark Elf City was not at all easy, let alone not much talent in this city which caused Kerzan to have to manage the city and train warriors alone. Because of this, Kerzan felt really tired.
He could only wait until one day a talented child appeared among the Dark Elves, then the child was able to take his place one day.
Especially since the arrival of the enemy troops in the mine, Kerzan who is always busy is getting busy again. He kept thinking about his strategy and plan of defeating the enemy to the point that he often forgot to rest.
When he thought the enemy had left, Kerzan threw away some of his fatigue "Luckily the enemy left peacefully, if there was a war, I would have been even busier! It seems that I can rest today because there are no more enemies to worry about".
"Shelf!".
"What's wrong? What other problems are happening?", said Kerzan a little speechless, is he indeed not to rest that makes the work continue to arrive non-stop?
"General, the city is filled with black smoke! The entire city was already covered in black smoke which was originally very thin, but slowly the black smoke continued to become more and more so as to cover the entire city", the soldier shouted worriedly "The problem is that black smoke not only partially closes our eyesight in the city, but makes the health of everyone worse, especially those who are old or have respiratory diseases. According to my observations, the black smoke should have come from the burning!".
"Burning? Why is there smoke underground like this? Even if the reason is that the city is experiencing a fire, it should not create that much black smoke to the point of being able to cover the entire city" Kerzan said confusedly.
Kerzan opened his window and just as the soldier had said, the entire city was covered in black smoke.
Although this place is underground, they use lighting that illuminates every street or house in the city. Therefore, the entire city had never been as dark as it was now.
Observing the black smoke through his window, Kerzan suddenly thought of a possibility "Don't tell me, the enemy is burning heavily on the front door of the cave, they are planning to kill us with smoke from the burning! If we are at ground level, the black smoke from the burning certainly does not pose any threat. But now that we are underground with 1 door gone from the cave, the enemy has already closed the door and set fire from there!".
"If the amount of black smoke continues to grow, most of the population is not only affected by the disease, but there is a possibility of dying from respiratory problems!".
This cave was a large enclosed space with 1 way to go, so the black smoke from Myro's burning gathered around the cave without any escape.
With the gathering of black smoke in the cave, the residents of Dark Elves who were in the cave had no other choice but to breathe using black smoke from the burning.
If you breathe once or 2 times, there should be no problem except those with a bad respiratory disorder. But if they continue to breathe using burning smoke every day, it's only a matter of time until they die.
Kerzan stared at the black smoke in his town and laughed "It turns out that way, I understand the enemy's purpose! We really lost! Tell all the troops to prepare, we'll go to ground level and fight the enemy!".
The soldier was surprised to hear the words Kerzan, he said frantically "General, our strength will weaken when fighting on the ground, when we rise to the surface and fight the enemy, we will lose! General, it's better to stay in the city until the enemy attacks us! During the underground fight, we definitely won!".
"Are you stupid? We are already in the trap of the enemy!", said Kerzan sighing "Now the enemy is giving us a choice, if we plan to let the population stay alive, we have to go to ground level to fight them and stop the burning. If we refuse to rise to the ground and remain hidden in the city, the enemy will kill us slowly using burning smoke. How long do we breathe in this situation? 1 month? 2 months? It's only a matter of time before we die with the residents".
"Therefore, we have no other choice but to fight on the ground against the enemy forces. Yesterday they went to the cave not to escape, but they tried to poison the cave using black smoke, we fell into the trap they prepared. Tell the whole army that they may choose, rise to the surface and fight against the enemy so that all our inhabitants do not die or hide in the city and die slowly with the population. As a general, I choose to fight to the ground against the enemy even if I have to die! Even if you all refuse to go with me, I don't mind going alone because I can't sit around watching all the Dark Elves who believe in me die!".
