THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 262: THE WAR BEGINS
In addition to the Victory Army, there were Herfu troops, each divided into 50,000 troops and were on the left and right sides of the army.
The troops on the left were led by Herfu's representatives while the right was led by Herfu himself, he also brought 10,000 Snow Infantry there.
After the formation of the Herfu army, at the back of the Myro command center there were approximately 7000 knights led by Aclan.
He combined his own army of knights and knights from Garwein to form 7000 elite knight troops, they are tasked with guarding if there are enemy troops trying to make an ambush from behind.
Aclan was not alone, he was with Gladius who provided assistance to as many as 1500 Roman Legions. Although there were 50,000 troops attacking from behind, Myro believed that the combined forces of knights and the Roman Legion were able to hold them back.
Fred along with Garwein were on the left and right wings, each of them leading the 20,000 cavalry troops that Myro had recruited from the inhabitants of his territory.
All of these cavalry troops were trained directly by the Falka and Mongol Cavalry, their strength need not be doubted.
100,000 General Herfu troops, 50,000 Victory Troops, 40,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks, the last 10,000 elite troops guarding the rearguard. If summed up entirely, Myro's army did reach 200,000 troops, let alone they were all trained troops, not armed residents like the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
Different from the Myro army marching as well as forming an orderly formation, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom army was slightly worse off.
They placed 50,000 Goblins in the front row who acted as shields, and another 50,000 Goblins marched behind them.
Finally, 40,000 Orcs were in the rear, followed by 10,000 newly trained Wolf Cavalry after suffering the devastation of the previous war.
Myro who was in the command center stared at a map depicting the deployment of troops on the battlefield.
Seeing that everything was ready, Myro said "Run the drum! The war began!".
It was impossible to tell hundreds of thousands of troops to attack using a shout, however one shouted with all their might, they could not make hundreds of thousands of people hear their cries.
Therefore, on a battlefield like this, drums, trumpets and flags are needed to be a clue for all troops whether to continue fighting, retreating, starting to attack or other strategies.
"Shelf! Brak! Brak! Brak! Brak!".
Along with Myro's decision, the people holding the drums in the command center started beating their drums as hard as they could to the point of echoing throughout the battlefield.
Neither Retya, Herfu nor the other leaders of the army immediately realized the purpose of this drum sound, that the war had begun.
Retya drew his sword first and pointed towards the enemy troops "All the attacking forces! To the Kingdom of Azeroth! To the Victory Count!".
"Strike!", the 50,000 Victory Troops shouted excitedly and followed Retya towards the battlefield.
Ever since the 4th Division was abolished and they became the Victory Army, they had never again put on such a big fight like now.
Therefore, the Victory Army became excited and worried as if recalling their past again.
On the other hand, the Herfu Army, as well as the cavalry on the right and left flank followed the movements of the Victory Army, 2 troops collided on the battlefield that dyed the entire ground with blood.
Although the war seemed like it had no chance of winning, Guliger was not worried.
However based on the letter that Luca gave yesterday, all their plans were completed, they could defeat Myro without having to win the war.
At the command center, Myro and Ren and several strategists who had recruited or trained Myro continued to discuss.
They made various decisions so that Myro's forces would not suffer chaos.
Myro continued to look at the map while listening to the latest state of the battlefield from what his soldiers had delivered before making the decision "Tell the cavalry on the right wing to provide assistance to Herfu's troops, he said, although the Herfu General had the Snow Infantry, their opponent was the Wolf Cavalry! Let the cavalry fight our cavalry!".
"Tell Retya, his Victory Squad is advancing too quickly, he must be more careful! This was a great war, if he advanced alone without waiting for Herfu troops and cavalry, there was a possibility that the Victory Army was besieged by the enemy and suffered heavy losses!".
"Let Fred continue to lead his cavalry to destroy the enemy infantry formations, also tell the Herfu representatives to provide timely support for Fred's Cavalry, don't let the enemy stop the cavalry's movements!".
The sound of trumpets, drums and flags kept changing at the command center following Myro's decision to not accept any objections from Ren or any other strategist because all Myro's actions were appropriate.
Ren from earlier stood to the side and observed everything that happened with a smile.
Myro had never led a large war before, in Rayde Province, the one who took command of the joint force was Ren because Myro was in Rayde City.
Therefore Ren had thought Myro would make mistakes or chaos due to lack of experience, but it seems he was thinking too much.
Myro can lead and make decisions wisely according to the latest state of the battlefield. Although there were a few slight mistakes, but Ren knew all those mistakes were only minor mistakes that did not prove fatal.
After all, everyone needs time to practice and seek experience before not making any more mistakes.
Myro had never led an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers before that was truly a genuine war, not a quick war like the time against Division 4.
The 4th Division knew they shouldn't be too long in Rayde Province or they would be caught by the king's army, so they had always thought of running away rather than fighting Myro which made fighting the 4th division not at all a war but a one-sided pursuit.
Now that Myro was actually at war using hundreds of thousands of troops against hundreds of thousands of other troops, it was great enough for Myro to not make any big mistakes and always think of the best strategy as quickly as possible.
As Ren was thinking, the tent door opened.
Myro discovers his father is the one who came to the command center tent. However Myro had left the care of Herisen City to his father for many years, it was not strange for his father to be here.
Yorou only opened her eyes for a while, after knowing the person who came was Myro's father, she again closed her eyes.
"How are things on the battlefield?" said Myro's father who walked over to the map in the middle of the tent.
"Pretty good, if we keep going like this, we'll win! What are you doing here? Is there a problem in Kote Herisen?", asked Myro a little curious because his father did not have to come here because Myro himself led the war.
"There's nothing" Myro's father said smiling "I'm just a little worried because I heard, you've never led an original war of this magnitude. I was thinking of coming and helping you, but I don't think you're having any trouble here, I don't have to come at all".
