THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 280 CHAOS AND REBELLION
On the night of the 2nd day after the hostilities of Orcs and Goblins became stronger as the words of Myro which acted like fuel strengthened the fire on each Goblin to rebel.
King Albert was finally able to go to bed earlier today as the prime minister agreed to replace him over the Orcs' over-acting of the Goblins. As long as nothing really bad happens, the prime minister will solve his own problems without waking up the king.
Therefore, King Albert who had difficulty falling asleep last night was finally able to rest well.
It is unknown how long time had passed, but King Albert was disturbed by the noise from the window.
The curious one got up from his bed and walked towards the window.
When looking through the window, King Albert's eyes opened wide in disbelief because in the capital of his ever-peaceful kingdom, there were now many fires in the houses as well as panicked cries of the residents.
Not only that, the sounds of sword fighting, the cries of warriors and blood dyed the entire capital.
The capital of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom that had been at peace for tens to hundreds of years, was now in a great turmoil.
An idea popped up in King Albert's head, a Goblin rebellion must have started that caused this chaos.
Without a doubt, King Albert wore his armor of war. He did think the Goblins would rebel, but King Albert never thought a rebellion would happen this fast.
When King Albert was just about to leave to find out the state of the capital, the door to his room opened.
The figure of the prime minister filled with sweat and panic shouted from the open door "Your majesty, bad news! The Goblin Rebellion has begun! 20,000 goblins rushed forward to storm the west gate! Although most of them were not soldiers but residents, they were too many! Moreover, there was a rebellion of 30,000 Goblins against the east gate, the Orc army tried its best to suppress the rebellion, but the number of rebels was too many!".
"Not to mention according to the information we received, all the rebel Goblins were well armed! Most likely, Myro secretly gave weapons to the rebellion!".
"No way!", said King Albert in disbelief "How could Myro give weapons to the rebels? In order to provide weapons, they had to pass through the guarded city walls every day! It should be impossible for Myro to be able to arm the rebels without us knowing! Are there traitors? No, it shouldn't be possible! Even if you are a treasonous prime minister, it is impossible to open the gates of the city without my knowledge! Then why did Myro manage to give weapons to the rebels?".
The prime minister hesitated for a moment before trying to answer "Is it possible that Myro has been preparing weapons in the capital secretly since a few years ago for today's rebels?".
"No way, how did Myro know there was going to be a revolt in the capital a few years ago-", before finishing his words, King Albert stopped.
His face froze as he thought of a possibility, Myro had been planning a Goblin rebellion for a long time.
No, maybe when Myro and King Albert met to make peace and Luca's marriage with his daughter, Myro had already made plans for a Goblin rebellion.
Being able to plan for a war 4 to 5 years into the future, the one who could do that was no longer intelligent, but rather only a monster who could do it.
A bitter smile appeared on Albert's face, now he understood the reason for his defeat.
Not because King Albert failed as a king, not because he was too stupid to be defeated by young people like Myro, but his opponent was too scary.
King Albert knew he would most likely lose today, but on the other hand he was curious, what figure was able to defeat a monster like Myro? Was the 7th prince considered a ruthless intelligence? Or the 10th prince of the Kingdom of Azeroth who was considered a kind-hearted king who received the support of his father?
King Albert shook his head "I may be unlucky, but the 7th prince and the 10th prince would be no better! They were indeed quite capable as leaders, but to fight monsters, they were still too far away!".
Seeing the king muttering so little that he could not hear him, the prime minister asked "Your Majesty, is there a problem or have you thought of another plan? If we don't act quickly, the rebels will open the gates of the capital".
King Albert regained his senses, he looked at the prime minister sternly "You've been following me for a long time and I trust you a lot! Get the kids out of here! In the palace library, there was a secret passage to leave the palace! I hope you can take my daughter and some princes away from here, besides you have to leave the palace with your son too! The Orc-Goblin Kingdom is gone, but as long as our children and you are gone from here, we have the chance to take revenge again and build another kingdom".
The prime minister did not immediately agree but instead asked worriedly "Then what will the noble do? Let's go together! If necessary, I will distract the enemy as long as his majesty flees with the prince and princess! As a prime minister you've trusted all along, let me use my life in place of your majesty!".
"No!", said King Albert who began walking away from the room "I am the King of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, they will not stop looking for me if I am not killed on the battlefield this time. But you're different, even if you were prime minister, they wouldn't be so looking for you after I die! After all on every battlefield, the leader of the losing side had to die! If the leader stays alive, they will be sought to the death!".
"Your highness-" the prime minister knew what King Albert said was true, how could Myro let the enemy king escape?
But as a loyal prime minister, he was a bit unable to accept it.
King Albert smiled "Don't say much anymore, we don't have much time! If Myro's forces manage to storm the capital, there is no chance of escape anymore! You have to leave now, I'll buy you as long as possible!".
The prime minister nodded firmly, he knelt down while shouting "I will not disappoint your majesty! I will definitely train the prince to be able to restore the Orc-Goblin Kingdom someday!".
"Go!", said King Albert.
Not wasting any more time, the prime minister turned to search and brought as many princes and princesses as possible to escape from the palace.
King Albert smilingly looked at the prime minister who was going further and further, he turned away from the palace with a stern face "If my children manage to leave here, I should not hesitate anymore! Victory Count, let me show you, the original strength of a king! Even though your victory is in sight, I will not let you win easily! At the very least, let you pay a heavy price to seize the Capital of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom!".
