THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 278: PLANS FAIL?
Seeing hundreds of Goblin troops as thousands began to gather above the city walls, King Albert muttered "Stupid base!".
He was not angry with the Goblins but King Albert felt that the Orc army just hit and tried to kill the Goblins was stupid.
However, Myro's words made the Goblins more determined to rebel, especially so far they suppressed the Goblin resistance using force. As they fell weak from Myro's attack, it wasn't strange for the Goblins to think of fighting back.
Therefore, they should not pressure the Goblins into using force again because of the weakened Orc power, but rather they should act well for all Goblins to stop thinking about rebellion.
At least until Myro left, they had to make the Goblins confident to continue siding with the Orc-Goblin Kingdom using kindness.
When they resort to violence, the Goblins will no longer be afraid unless they will hate the Orcs even more and their rebellious determination will be stronger.
Taking a breath, King Albert understood he had to act before the split over the city walls became even greater "You Goblins and Orcs, shut up first! I have something I have to say to all of you".
People stared towards King Albert, either the eyes of the Orc salute or the Goblin hostility.
King Albert stood in front of all the Goblins before bowing "I represent all the Orcs admitting the mistake we have made to you all this time, we Orcs treated you like slaves when you were supposed to be our comrades! You may not believe it, but me and the other Orcs are sorry! I hope you guys give me one more chance, we will definitely give equal treatment to the Goblins and Orcs when the Myro attack is over!".
"In addition, we will not treat Goblins as a shield in this war! You all deserve the same amount of food as the Orcs, so I hope you remain loyal to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. Don't forget, the Orc and Goblin ancestors were close friends in the past, we all built empires together. For that reason, I would be very grateful if you would give me and the other Orcs a chance to change! We will definitely not give a bad attitude to our comrades like before!".
Some of the Orc warriors were shocked and confused, they did not understand why King Albert had to bow to the Goblins who were under the Orcs.
Unlike the soldiers, the prime minister and other officials understood the king's purpose. However they all came from royal politics, they understood the king was trying to convince the Goblins to keep them from rebelling.
The prime minister along with the other officials followed the king's movements, they bowed unhesitatingly towards the Goblins "We hope you give the Orcs a chance to change!".
Finding the attitude of King Albert and the other officials changed, the hostility in the eyes of the Goblin slowly disappeared although it did not disappear completely.
After all they Goblins might not be very intelligent, but they were not that stupid to the point of not having any suspicion of King Albert and the other officials.
In fact they felt most likely King Albert was just acting, in the end the position of Orcs and Goblins would never be equal in the future.
Therefore, they decided to believe "Her Majesty, there is no need to bend down! We Goblins were born and raised in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, how could we betray so easily to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom? we hope his Majesty keeps his word after the war is over, where Orcs and Goblins are able to live equally in the kingdom".
"Thank you for believing!", said King Albert sternly "I must not disappoint you!".
...----------------...
At night, even though Myro and his troops kept shouting until night for the Goblins to start a rebellion, there was no sign of any division in the capital that made Myro decide to have everyone rest and continue tomorrow.
Myro was in the meeting room with Ren, Yorou, Retya, Herfu, Muteki, Yuki, Aclan, Fred, Gladius, Sorna, Garwein and Taredo.
Almost all the higher-ups of his army were here, they certainly understood the reason why Myro gathered them was the plan to attack the next Orc-Goblin Kingdom.
When everyone was present, Myro who was in the center of the meeting room opened his mouth first "Ren, what do you think? How long before the split occurred between the Orcs and Goblins of the kingdom?".
Everyone was shocked at Myro's question, after all some time ago, they got word the Goblins refused to rebel.
They decided to trust King Albert because they had been born in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom and grew up there, so they decided to trust King Albert and the Orcs once again.
In addition to King Albert doing what he said, the Goblins began to receive the same amount of food as the Orcs and treat it similarly as well. Due to King Albert's change of action, everyone thought Myro's split plan had failed so he gathered everyone together to form a new plan.
Ren stood up from his chair "I know everyone must be confused as to what the master said just now, but let me explain. If King Albert and other Orc officials changed their attitude toward the Goblins, would the inhabitants and other Orc armies do the same? Orcs have underestimated Goblins for decades and have always been arrogant, do you think the Orc population and troops will sit idly by accepting the Goblins they take for granted to be equal and to receive the same treatment as them? To the arrogant Orcs, they would definitely not accept it. If they don't accept it, what will happen?".
Everyone's eyes shone, they began to understand what Ren had said.
But not waiting for someone to answer, Myro said "The arrogant Orcs will not accept Goblins to be on par with them. Some Orcs might not bother the Goblins because this is King Albert's own decision, but I'm not sure all Orgs think about respecting the king's decision, am I? I'm sure many Orcs didn't accept the decision and harassed the Goblins starting from seizing the food they received from the king's help as well as attacking the Goblins, not strange Orcs who are arrogant and underestimate Goblin will start killing them which means King Albert's plan does look good at the beginning, he managed to suppress the determination of the Goblin rebellion last afternoon".
"The thing is that he had no idea, his actions earlier this afternoon would cause the split between Orcs and Goblins to become even greater. Now the main question, how long would it take before the split between Orcs and Goblins in the capital would actually explode? We have to know that so the troops can be ready! So Ren, what do you think?".
Ren opened his folding fan and covered half of his face while thinking "I think tomorrow night, the Goblins will open the gates of the capital for our troops!".
