THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 296: THE CHALLENGE OF KING DIAMOND I
Seeing Kelrun's sword heading towards him, Sordas felt a life and death crisis.
Whereas when he studied and improved the ability of his iron body, Sordas had not felt a crisis for a long time. Especially since he joined King Diamant I, Sordas always defeated his enemies without any problems.
But this time he felt a crisis of death that he had not felt for a long time, therefore Sordas tried to avoid.
Before Sordas dodged in time, Kellrun's sword arrived right at his neck.
The Kelrun Sharp Sword ability slashed through the iron body of Sordas easily. As Kellrun's sword touched Sordas' neck, blood fell from his neck.
As long as Kelrun's sword moved a little more, he must have killed Sordas because the neck was a fatal part of someone.
Yet suddenly an iron arrow rushed quickly into Kelrun's sword.
"Shelf!".
Kelrun had to retreat a few meters due to the collision of the iron arrow just now, his sword that almost slashed Sordas' neck retreated and failed to kill his target.
Sordas who was on the other side touched the slash wound on his neck while sweating coldly. Although the slash wound on his neck was only a small wound, if the iron arrow just now did not come in time, he would have died, not just received a small wound like now.
After feeling almost dead, Sordas looked back, more precisely he saw Ferta who was holding a bow.
It seems that the arrow just now was Ferta's help, Sordas became more and more grateful to Ferta so he lowered his head slightly.
Ferta saw Sordas' slight bowing gesture as a sign of gratitude, she waved her hand indicating that Sordas had nothing to thank. As 7 generals under King Diamant I, they should have helped each other.
Kelrun who retreated a few meters stared intently at Ferta, then his attention was again focused on Sordas "At first I thought the man's iron body was already very troublesome, so his attention was focused on Sordas "At first I thought the man's iron body was already very troublesome, if it wasn't because I had more fighting experience, I couldn't have killed him as easily as before! Yet now there were also archer men who were more troublesome than iron body men, the 7th prince was really not easy! Where did he hide the 2 talented generals from the eyes of King Azeroth V during his lifetime?".
As Kelrun was thinking, a shout rang out from behind him "General, take my hand!".
Kelrun stared back where the hundreds of thousands of troops who tried to escape would pass through him.
There are some troops that have passed through Kellrun, but he has 100,000 elite cavalry troops so it is not strange if there are troops behind.
Some cavalry reached out their hands to capture Kellun.
After all Kelrun had lost his horse, so they offered Kelrun to ride on their horse and escape together.
Kelrun planned to catch the hand of his troops, but several arrows came back which made Kelrun have to slash all the arrows using his sword.
Ferta who shot Kelrun said coldly "Don't think you can escape! Sordas, kill Kellrun! Don't mind the troops, as long as we kill Kellrun, our task is done!".
"I understand!", said Sordas who rushed forward towards Kelrun.
Seeing the 2 enemy generals rushing towards him in order for him not to escape, Kelrun yelled at the cavalry who started rushing past him "Go! Don't look back! Remember your duty, you must return to the Kingdom of Azeroth alive".
After shouting, Kelrun raised his sword and slashed towards Sordas.
2 The Diamant King's generals completely held him back, they did not give Kellrun the slightest chance of escape.
Cavalry troops can only see Kelrun who is fighting against 2 enemy generals and surrounded by many other troops.
Although they planned to help their general, in the end they refused because in the middle of the ranks of 100,000 cavalry troops, there was a horse carriage that was none other than the place where Kelrun's wife and children were.
If they helped Kelrun, 300,000 enemy troops would have surrounded them and killed them slowly.
Even the number of their troops was now less than 50,000, if they helped Kelrun, it was impossible to escape the siege. Especially Kelrun's son and wife in the horse carriage, they must have been trapped.
Full of sadness, they left Kellrun and tried to break through the enemy's siege.
Along the way trying to break through the enemy's siege, their troops were always reduced due to being killed by the enemy's siege.
Even so, they were not at all afraid. All Kelrun's forces now only have a plan that they can die, but the Kelruns must return to the Kingdom of Azeroth.
Gazing at his advancing troops, Kelrun who was facing off against Sordas smiled "Go! Make sure you go back to Azeroth Kingdom!".
"Kelrun, don't distract yourself when facing off against the enemy or you'll regret it!", shouted Sordas who struck at Kellerun.
Avoiding Sordas' fist easily, Kelrun tried to slash him again using his Sharp Slash ability.
However, Ferta's arrow appears which disrupts Kellerun's attack.
If 1 against 1, Kelrun will win. The problem is that Ferta and Sordas work together to cover their respective weaknesses, therefore Kelrun continued to be suppressed until finally he had to fight 2 generals under a siege of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
No matter how strong Kelrun was, he was unable to fight against hundreds of warriors alone.
On the 2nd day after the war, the news of General Kelrun's death, the Western Border General of Azeroth Kingdom won.
According to the news that spread from the army of King Diamant I who saw firsthand, Kelrun continued to fight until the end.
No matter how many spears, swords and arrows pierced him, as long as he was alive, Kelrun continued to attack the enemies around him.
Based on the news, Kelrun breathed his last after being stabbed 2 spears, 4 swords and 7 arrows, it shows how hard Kelrun struggle against the forces of the Diamant King.
However, the death of Kelrun is not without meaning.
Among Kelrun's 100,000 elite cavalry troops, 35,000 managed to escape towards Azeroth Kingdom alive.
When they arrived at the border, General Limo and Rifu welcomed them directly.
The 5th day after news of Kelrun's death spread, a news appeared that made all the officials, nobles and generals of Azeroth Kingdom angry.
The Western Frontier General Kelrun, who had protected Azeroth Kingdom from other kingdoms on the western border, had his body hanged on Bern like a rebel.
The city of Bern was a border town between the Kingdom of Diamant and the Kingdom of Azeroth, Kelrun's corpse was hung on a pole on the walls of the City of Bern.
Many people who exploded in anger heard the news, who was Kelrun? He was a border general and once a warrior coach of Azeroth Kingdom, he may not be a hero but during his life Kelrun always did his best for Azeroth Kingdom.
But King Diamant I hung a figure that was so meritorious to the kingdom like a rebel. Kelrun may have been an enemy of King Diamant I, but he should not have been hanged like a rebel.
King Diamant I was hostile against Kelrun and killed him, so it was impossible to give Kelrun a funeral like a hero or a general. Even so, at least Kelrun's body was buried like someone in general was not hung like a rebel who made many people angry.
In the face of the anger of many people in the Kingdom of Azeroth, King Diamant I did not panic at all but convey a message "Didn't you ever kill General Hanto who is my follower? Therefore, now I kill Kelrun and hang his body on the city wall to let everyone know, anyone who dares to fight me will end up like Kelrun and on the other hand this is revenge for the death of General Hanto".
"If you are angry I treat your general who is considered a hero like this, you can come to Bern City to bring back Kelrun's corpse and then bury him. But whoever dares to come to Bern City, they must be ready to face my 300,000 men! Do you have the courage to fight 300,000 elite troops just because of the corpse of a general who is considered a hero? Wasn't King Azeroth VI famous for being a good king?".
"Kelrun had fought to the death and refused to surrender because of his loyalty to King Azeroth VI, did he have the courage to bring back the corpse of the general who had fought to the death for him? Your king may be fine, but he doesn't have the courage to fight me head-on just for the corpse of a general! Sadly, he fought to the death for King Azeroth VI, did the king dare to try to take his body from my hands in order to be buried like a proper general?".
The words of the Diamant I King that spread throughout the Azeroth Kingdom made everyone's eyes gaze to the Capital of the Azeroth Kingdom.
They felt that what King Diamant I had said was true, Kelrun had fought to the death for King Azeroth VI, who was the only one who had died, would King Azeroth VI let the corpses of his loyal generals be hanged like traitors by King Diamant I?
If King Azeroth VI allowed this and did not try to take the hanged body of Kelrun, many of his followers would be disappointed in King Azeroth VI's attitude.
