THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 258: PREPARATION FOR WAR
Orc-Goblin Kingdom, all generals and ministers are gathered in the palace hall by the king.
Even King Albert who is the current leader of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom and General Guliger who is none other than the strongest general of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom and leads almost all the royal troops came to the meeting that shows how important this meeting is.
Almost the faces of all the higher-ups of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom in the hall became gloomy as they had heard the news earlier this morning, the Victory Count brought 200,000 troops and marched right in their border town.
Even if there were fools, they would know Myro's goal of bringing in that many troops was to attack the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
If Myro was only planning to bring in troops to guard the border, 200,000 would be too many for a border guard.
Even the generals who guarded the 4 sides of the border of the Azeroth Kingdom were north, south, east and west, each of them only using 100,000 troops. Therefore everyone was convinced, Myro came bringing war.
The problem was that 200,000 troops were too many for them to fight, not to mention that the Orc-Goblin Kingdom had only risen from their defeat a few years ago to losing roughly half of their army. Fortunately General Guliger was able to return alive, if Guliger had died a few years ago, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom might have immediately chosen to surrender.
King Albert sat on his throne, staring at the gloomy-faced ministers and generals under him "What's wrong? Are you planning to surrender before the war?".
"No! How could our Orc-Goblin Kingdom surrender!", cried everyone disapprovingly.
"If you're not planning on giving up yet, don't put on a desperate face like just now! Rather than thinking about defeat, you better think of a way that we can win! You are the general and minister of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, at least show your present ability to overcome the crisis of life and death of the kingdom" cried King Albert "Minister of war, explain our situation and the enemy to everyone".
The war minister nodded, he took out a document he had prepared long ago "According to the information we have, we do not know for sure the number of enemy troops but should be among the 200,000 troops! The Victory Count also brought almost all of his best generals in this war, among them was Herfu which I think you all knew him because he was our enemy for many years, Retya who is able to hold hundreds of troops alone, Aclan who once trapped our troops when planning to attack the territory of the Victory Count, and some other new generals that we do not know. Fortunately Falka the hunter did not participate in the war this time, it seems he was in charge of guarding the Victory Province territory".
As people who had fought Myro for several years, they learned the mistake that led to their defeat: they attacked Myro without knowing any information about him.
Therefore after learning from this defeat, they changed their strategy.
During the peace with Myro, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom constantly sought information on all of Myro's talents and developments each year. It makes them more familiar about the greatness of the general under Myro, both Retya, Falka and Aclan who had faced directly against their troops.
"Don't forget, there's a cunning fox beside Myro! Counselor, Ren! I think almost all of Myro's strategies learned from that woman! When I saw her, I felt like I was jumping up and down on her hands, really a very scary woman" Guliger said with a gloomy face.
He never forgot his defeat to Myro a few years ago. Although no one in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom blamed him, Guliger felt guilty.
So he made a decision, as long as there was a chance, he would definitely avenge this one day.
The war minister sighed, he continued saying "Not only that, the biggest problem is also on our side. No matter how many residents we train as soldiers, we end up short on time. These few years, we have only managed to prepare at most 100,000 troops most of them new soldiers, never going to the battlefield. As for the Wolf Cavalry, about 5000 among them".
"Our number is only half that of the enemy?" said Guliger with a gloomy face. In terms of talent, they lost to Myro. As for the number of troops, they were still losing! If it was like this, how would they have a chance of winning from Myro?
When the ministers and generals discussed each other the matter of preparing for war, although most of them did not discuss how to defeat Myro but blamed each other.
King Albert sighed heavily, knowing that if it continued like this, in the end they could not determine any plan to defeat Myro. More precisely their circumstances were too aggrieved that everyone did not think they were capable of winning from Myro.
As King Albert was planning to stop the mouth fight between his royal officials, a knock on the door of the meeting room sounded which made everyone silent.
Here was the meeting room and there were thousands of elite soldiers guarding it, it was impossible for the enemy to attack the meeting room without any commotion from the guards around.
Therefore the figure who had the ability to come to the meeting room without being stopped by a guard was only 1 person in the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom, that person was none other than King Albert's most precious daughter.
Although King Albert was always strict when educating his other children, everyone knew that King Albert always treated his daughter differently. Although his daughter was recently married off to a man for political purposes, King Albert's concern and protection of her daughter was not at all diminished.
"Dad, can I open the door?", a gentle woman's voice rang out from behind the meeting room door.
"Daughter, you can open the door! Why did you find Dad at the meeting? Is there an important matter bothering you?" said King Albert worriedly, even walking down from his throne and walking towards the door of the meeting room.
The door of the meeting room opened, the figure of a female Orc that was no different from a male Orc appeared, it had a body 2 meters tall and was quite muscular which was compared far from the soft voice of "Father, it was very soft, I have something to discuss with you? Did I interrupt you at the meeting you had?".
"How could my daughter interfere with the meeting? We are discussing a matter that is not important compared to my daughter! So, what's up? What will you discuss with father?", said King Albert, leaving all ministers and generals speechless.
They were discussing the life and death crisis of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, was it really not as important as King Albert had said?
King Albert's daughter said again "Dad, this is about my husband! When I told him about his brother's problem trying to attack our Orc-Goblin Kingdom, he suddenly told me that he had an idea to defeat his brother! But he cannot carry out the idea himself, he needs the support of the father! My husband said, if you help him, he will help you beat his brother too!".
Everyone in the meeting room became interested, after all the husband of King Albert's daughter was none other than Luca, the younger brother of Myro.
As long as what Luca said was true, it meant that he had a way of defeating the Myro they were trying to discuss from earlier.
