THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 248: CAUGHT
Looking at the spider that dared not move forward, everyone was shocked. Not only the enemy, but Retya along with 1000 Victory Troops also surprised.
But not long after, Retya realized first. He waved his hand and shouted "Lift your weapons! Kill all the enemy troops!".
Along with Retya's shout, everyone regained their senses.
Retya led the movement first, this time wearing a spear and piercing towards Kerzan.
Thousands of troops around Retya followed his movements, they raised spears and pierced towards the spider cavalry.
The archers in the back started shooting, raining arrows falling towards the enemy cavalry troops.
"Stabs!".
Many unprepared spider cavalry troops were immediately hit by the arrows or spears of Retya's troops, they never thought the tame spiders they had always used would fight this time around. Therefore, many enemy troops were killed in the initial wave of the attack.
Kerzan who is a general and has a lot of experience on the battlefield moves in time, he jumps from his spider and spins on the ground.
Even though his spider was pierced by many enemy spears and arrows to death, he had at least survived.
Not daring to waste time, Kerzan stood up without caring about all the wounds on his body.
Looking at the hundreds of spider cavalry troops killed before the war began, Kerzan said puzzledly "What is really going on here?".
During the war, Kerzan never suffered a defeat this bad. They haven't killed anyone on the enemy's side, no, they haven't even come close to the enemy. But at least 100 elite troops of spider cavalry had been killed, Kerzan felt himself dreaming, a very bad dream.
Torn on the other hand opened his mouth wide in disbelief, he asked doubtfully "What is going on here? What exactly did you do to the enemy spider that did not dare to move forward? Did the master actually tame the enemy spider secretly".
"I can't possibly do that so fast, even the best beast tamer from the headquarters can't control 1000 spider monsters with just a day's time" Myro said shaking his head.
"Then why?", asked Torn who was unable to contain his curiosity.
They always fought against Dark Elves but never managed to make a strategy that could defeat the enemy, while Myro and Ren here only observed Dark Elves for a while and managed to make the right strategy. Torn felt a little incredulous, was the Dwarf indeed that weak?
Myro did not reply but Ren who was watching from the side gave an answer to Torn "The spider hates the scent produced by Eucalyptus, who is not happy, therefore they did not dare to step forward due to the 20 young Eucalyptus who were in front of Retya's army".
Myro nodded "With strength, you can defeat your enemies. While using intelligence, you are able to win the battlefield even if the troops on your side are less. That is what I learned over the years leaving Aras City. Now, we just need to watch Retya move while waiting for the result".
"Lord is right, the war is over" Ren said.
Torn who was at the side was still shocked, he looked at Myro and Ren like he was looking at a monster.
He has strong strength, at least Torn is able to withstand the spider army that attacked the mine at the beginning despite getting the help of several mine guard troops. But if he is given 1000 Victory Troops, he is not sure he can defeat all the attacking Dark Elves.
As the Victory Army continues to kill its spider-cavalry that does not dare to advance, Retya emerges from the Victory Army and rushes towards Kerzan.
Several enemy soldiers tried to stop him, but Retya killed them easily before arriving in front of Kerzan and piercing his spear.
"But!".
Kerzan retreated 10 steps and fell sitting to the ground, he could not believe that he who was none other than the General Dark Elf was pushed back to the ground by Retya using 1 attack.
"Your abilities are quite poor, at least in terms of abilities, you're under a completely worthless silver-level general" Retya said coldly "Fortunately you were able to train a spider cavalry army that was useful to the lord in the future, otherwise I would definitely plan to kill you!".
Retya caught Kerzan's neck before lifting him up high so that all the other Dark Elves could see "I have captured your general, surrender! There is no point in fighting anymore!".
The entire Dark Elves were shocked, they stared at the Kerzan that Retya had captured easily full of doubts "Why is the enemy general so powerful? General Kerzan isn't his opponent!".
"Do we have to give up or fight? What are we supposed to do?".
"For what else are we fighting? There is only death for those who remain stubborn, let's give up!".
"Are you crazy? As an army of brave Dark Elves, how could we possibly give up!".
Kerzan certainly realized the panic of his troops, their spiders did not move, their generals were caught, many of their comrades had died, besides that there were still many enemy troops surrounding them.
Anyone would see, as long as they resisted then they would die.
Kerzan tried to say something to his troops, but Retya's hand around his neck was too strong that he had trouble speaking or breathing.
When Kerzan thought he might be dead, Myro's voice rang out from behind "Retya, release the enemy general first!".
"Well, sir!", said Retya who removed her hand from Kerzan's neck.
"Shelf!".
Kerzan falls heavily to the ground, Retya's attitude towards him being completely cold which is far different from Retya's attitude towards Myro or his comrades.
Myro walked up to Kerzan who was only breathing again before speaking "Your name is Kerzan right? You better give up! I am the Victory Count, Myro Aras of Azeroth Kingdom! As long as you surrender, we can stop this war. You may have to be my subordinate territory, but in exchange, you can obtain peace as well as some resources such as food, education, or clothing for your people".
"As a general, you must know the right choice, right? If you refuse, you all die without any benefit. If you surrender, your territory will advance and your people can live more prosperous lives. But you may have to give me some troops to help me win the battlefield in the future, but no need to worry, I will help you with the cost of training the soldiers or their equipment. How, Kerzan?".
Kerzan smiled bitterly, knowing he had no other choice so Kerzan sighed "I decided to give up!".
