THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 268: LET IT GO
"All the troops are retreating! Retreat!", cried Luca full of panic, without waiting for the soldier behind him, he turned around and fled first.
Luca did not dare to stay any longer in this place because he knew, as long as Myro caught himself, Luca would end badly.
Looking at Luca who was trying to escape, Myro shook his head "You think why should I bother pulling you guys towards Herisen City? Isn't the answer obvious, I won't give you a chance to escape again!".
"Light!", Luca who was trying to escape heard a screaming sound from behind their troops that was his goal of escaping now.
In front of Luca's eyes, thousands of torches were seen under the darkness of the night, where the dark had become brighter now.
Due to the dark night, Luca and Guliger's forces do not realize that the enemy is already besieging them from behind as well.
Although the darkness of the night began to disappear due to the torches that had sprung up, Luca's face did not get better but he grew more frightened because all these troops were none other than Herfu and Myro troops who had fled before.
The reason Luca knows their identity is the uniform worn by Myro soldiers, the armor on their bodies has the emblem of the northern border troops and the Victory Count belonging to Myro.
When Luca was confused at this time, Guliger was shocked and full of disbelief because in front of his eyes at this time, there were thousands of Orc-Goblin troops blocking his way.
In fact he found about 100 Wolf Cavalry on the enemy side. Although they were few in number, the Wolf Cavalry should have been a skill of their Orc-Goblin Kingdom, humans could not replicate it. Other than the royal family, there should be no Orc Goblins capable of making a Wolf Cavalry. But Guliger had to accept the fact before his eyes, the 100 Wolf Cavalry that were blocking his way were on Myro's side.
The leader of the Orcs and Goblins on the enemy side stepped forward. At first Guliger did not see the face of the enemy leader too clearly due to the night and their distance is quite far, although assisted torch, Guliger did not see it too clearly.
But when he saw the face of the approaching enemy leader, Guliger's body froze to nothing.
The leader on the enemy side smiled softly "General Guliger, do you still remember me? A little captain that you threw away in the Northern Province back then, you guys must have never thought I was still alive, right?".
The figure of the Orc and Goblin leader on Myro's side is Taredo, a talented young captain whom Myro persuades to be loyal to him.
Guliger pointed at Taredo with trembling hands, he shouted furiously "You, how dare you side with a human! As an honorable Orc from the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, are you not ashamed to have become a human warrior! At first I thought you were a great talent that could be trained to be a royal general, but I was wrong! A traitor like you is not fit to be a royal general".
"traitors? I'm traitor? Hahahahaha", Taredo laughed loudly "General Guliger-No, Guliger! There seems to be a misunderstanding here, not that I betrayed you but that you are the one who betrayed me! I fought to sacrifice my life for you, but what was King Albert's decision? He considers my life to be no more important than the life of a noble child or an official who has never done anything important to the kingdom! Money is worth more than my life, it's King Albert's opinion of me and his soldiers!".
Guliger was surprised, he seemed to realize something "You must have been deceived, King Albert is not such a man-".
"Enough!", cried Taredo who stood in front of the Wolf Cavalry and all his troops, he also rose above the wolf "Guliger, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom has long been destroyed from his reign! What Mr. Myro says is true, rather than having to rely on a ruthless king who is as selfish as King Albert, why don't I use my own power and bring true justice to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom! Now that we're enemies, don't blame me, Guliger! All of you, kill all the enemy troops!".
The cries of the fight, the collisions of weapons and the cries of pain continued to echo throughout the battlefield.
Although he was under enemy siege, Guliger, guarded by hundreds of Wolf Cavalrymen, attempted to break through the siege and fled back to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
Maybe the kingdom will lose a lot of troops in the war this time, but for Guliger, as long as he remains alive then he must be able to think of a plan to strike back and achieve victory.
Taredo tries to stop Guliger, but a Wolf Cavalry squad stops him.
More precisely all the Wolf Cavalry under Guliger had red eyes, they did not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives as long as Guliger could escape.
Under Guliger's stubborn determination, he managed to escape the siege and rushed towards the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. Even though his body was injured and he was alone, Guliger did not care and continued to let his wolf advance to get out of here.
Taredo tried to chase after Guliger, but a shout rang out from behind him "Enough, let him go! As long as all of his troops here were either dead or captured, the Orc-Goblin Kingdom had no chance of victory anymore".
Taredo turned around and found the figure approaching him was Myro with Yorou, Ren and his bodyguards.
Without a doubt, Taredo got off his horse and knelt in front of Myro "Master, sorry for disappointing you! Who would have thought Guliger would be so stubborn and sacrifice his entire army just to escape! I used to think he was a great general who was ready to sacrifice his life for the kingdom and the people, it seems that I misjudged him".
"No need to feel guilty" Myro said shaking his head "When he returns to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, Guliger must have realized his kingdom was over. He thought the strategy I was using was to surround and kill his troops, when what Guliger was thinking was wrong. My real strategy is to let Guliger along with all his troops leave the Orc-Goblin Kingdom which makes the kingdom's defense weak. As long as their defenses are weakened, our other troops will destroy them using 1 move! If it wasn't to distract the Guliger Army, why would I bother stalling by pretending to be dead for almost 8 days?".
Myro took his breath and shouted again which echoed throughout the battlefield "The fight has ended! Your general, Guliger ran away without a care for you, he only thought of his own life! Now you have 2 options, fight to the death for the general who abandoned you or surrendered! If you give up, I can give you a chance to live!".
The soldiers were surprised, they stared around and found Guliger was not around the battlefield.
Looking at the hundreds of Wolf Cavalry that turned into corpses, they understood the hundreds of Wolf Cavalry that died at the hands of Taredo's forces were those who were extremely loyal to Guliger.
Guliger's loyal troops die while Guliger's corpse does not prove Myro's words may be true, Guliger flees leaving them here.
Even their generals fled without caring about their lives, why would they have to fight to the death for such a general?
So the Goblins and Orcs started dropping weapons while raising their hands which showed them surrendering, the battleground of Herisen City finally ended and Guliger lost again from the battle against Myro.
