THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 29: PASSING THROUGH TROCK FORTRESS
At night, hundreds of cavalry moved quietly through the side of Trock Fortress.
Fortunately it was night time so the people at Trock Fortress were completely unaware of the movement of this cavalry, if it was daytime then this army definitely could not pass unnoticed by the soldiers in Trock Fort.
Not to mention that this cavalry force only consisted of 100 people and moved slowly, it was almost impossible for the enemy to be aware of their movements in a dark night like this.
These 100 cavalry were Myro's Mongol cavalry.
Currently Falka, Ren and Myro were the ones leading these 100 cavalry troops, while the other 300 Mongol Cavalry then they stayed in the encampment. However, if there are too many troops participating, the possibility of the enemy knowing their existence becomes even greater, therefore Ren only suggests bringing 100 cavalry with Falka in the lead.
At first either Ren or Falka did not agree to Myro following this fight directly, but Myro decided to come along.
The reason is to look for experience on the battlefield, all this time Myro was always in Aras City which made him never come to the battlefield directly.
If Myro planned to become a noble or even a king in the future, he would have to pass through various battlefields first to strengthen his abilities. So Myro decided to follow the fight this time in person.
Since Myro is coming along, Ren decides to join as well, Ren can't let Myro go just accompanied by Falka. At least during this trip, Ren had always been beside Myro in order to protect him in case of any problems.
As for Mother Myro and Ferbas then they stayed at the camp to organize 300 troops, Mother Myro actually planned to join as well after knowing that Myro left.
However Ren persuaded him on the grounds that Mother Myro and Ferbas' abilities had not fully recovered, so they had to continue training until they returned to their peak strength first before going to the battlefield, only then could they help to protect Myro on the battlefield.
These 100 cavalry passed through the side of Trock Fortress with ease, after which they rushed towards the pre-planned road which was the road most likely used by the enemy forces to deliver food.
...----------------...
In the morning and a new sun appeared in the sky, a group of dozens of horse carriages were walking forward on the dirt road leading to the Trock Fortress.
This horse carriage was guarded by about 100 soldiers in armor, although they were on guard duty but these troops looked like they were playing around.
This army was none other than the mercenaries chosen by the Duke to bring food supplies towards Trock Fortress, so they were paid to take care of all this food.
The problem is that their location is located in the Cavalry Kingdom, they are quite confident that the enemy cannot attack them until they arrive at Trock Fortress.
A man about 30 years old with an eye patch on his left eye was sitting on the front horse carriage, he was sitting with the wall of a horse carriage behind him, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
The sleeping captain opened his eyes and asked unhappily "Who are you? Are you the soldier who just joined this mercenary group?".
"Right captain, I joined 2 days ago", cried the soldier.
"It turns out, I understand now why you ask such a foolish thing" said the captain who pointed to the area around him "Look this well, we are in the territory of the Cavalry Kingdom, the enemy cannot come here unless they take Trock Fortress! Besides, didn't you hear that General Ritke managed to make the enemy lose 2000 troops with just less than 500 casualties! It's a big win! You think a defeated enemy like that still has time to attack us? If they were that smart, they would not have lost to General Ritke in the previous fight".
The soldier felt that the captain's answer was correct, but he still felt a little worried "But captain, there's still a possibility that the enemy is coming here-".
"Enough new boy!", said the captain, who waved his hand to tell the new boy to leave immediately, "Do your duty and do not disturb me to sleep, I've been doing this job for years and never been attacked! While you've only been working here for a few days, do you think you can teach me? Go quickly and don't disturb my sleep".
Seeing that the captain was not listening to him, the new boy could only bow his head sadly then turn around to stay on guard again in his position. He knew that as a new boy, he definitely could not win from the captain which made him not to defy the words of the captain any more.
But just as he was about to leave, the sound of arrow shots sounded.
In front of this shocked new kid's eyes, dozens of arrows flew in the sky and shot the soldiers around accurately.
Even an arrow shot right in the heart of his captain, there was no longer any possibility of survival.
These mercenaries were completely unprepared by this sudden attack, so with a single arrow shot from the enemy then half of them instantly died while there were also heavily injured.
The new boy felt lucky because he managed to avoid it in time, therefore the arrow only scratched his hand a little.
But before being able to get excited, this new kid heard the sound of a young man screaming from the forest not far away towards their current position of "All the troops, attack! Take all their food supplies!".
"Strike!", approximately 100 cavalry troops emerged from behind the forest.
The surrounding mercenaries immediately panicked, they had already lost more than half of their members while the enemy was a cavalry troop that looked highly trained.
Without the slightest hesitation, most of the surviving mercenaries turned to flee while some of the other mercenaries threw away their weapons and raised their hands indicating that they had surrendered.
The new Myro yelled for Falka and the others to attack and realized that the fight was over, it seemed to be true that other than Trock Fortress the soldiers in the other Cavalry Kingdom were not very great. Perhaps the troops that could be at the same level as the troops in Trock Fortress in the Cavalry Kingdom were none other than the elite cavalry troops of the Cavalry Kingdom.
As for the other forces, then they were all not very strong.
