THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 311: THE MESSAGE OF KING DIAMOND I
2 days later, Myro's forces continued to try to attack Bern City. Even Retya and Aclan led the army directly towards the walls of Bern City, but they always returned with failure.
Although Myro managed to achieve a big victory, but the victory was not enough to make Myro immediately beat Ferta.
With the help of at least 150,000 troops under him, Ferta was able to withstand the attack of Myro forces for 2 days.
Although it always ended in failure, Myro did not panic at all but he continued to observe the walls of Bern City through his command tent.
The enemy had indeed managed to withstand Myro's attacks for these few days, but Myro knew every attack he made was not without advantage.
Every time Myro attacked, the defense on the enemy side became less and less.
Even Myro continued to attack so as not to give time for Ferta's troops to rest, even at night, Myro let his troops carry out a feint attack so that Ferta's troops woke up from their slumber.
Therefore, Ferta's troops look increasingly tired due to lack of sleep, let alone the defeat of Sordas makes their spirit less.
So Myro did fail to capture Bern City for 2 days, but he believed victory was only a matter of time. Before the help of the Diamant I King arrived, Myro was confident that he could seize Bern without any problems.
Ren who was beside Myro could not help but mutter when he saw the ability of Ferta's arrow that could make Retya hassle "I have to admit, the archery ability of the enemy general is very sharp. At least of the 10 arrows he fired towards Retya, 9 arrows were most likely to hit Retya while the other 1 arrow was successfully avoided. Fortunately Retya was able to move in time to slash the arrow that tried to kill him, if the target of Ferta's arrow was not Retya but the other troops, they would have died!".
Myro followed Ferta who was on top of the city wall and continued to shoot arrows towards Retya, should be recognized Ferta arrow is the main reason why Retya has not managed to seize the walls of Bern City.
However, Aclan was an expert general in defensive warfare, he was less suited to capture the city quickly while Retya was an assault general. So Retya who was disturbed by Ferta's arrow made the whole attack of the troops disturbed.
"Sir, is it time to send Falka, Yuki or General Herfu to help? If we add 1 person among them to the battlefield, we might be able to seize Bern City now", suggested Ren who felt now was the most appropriate time to seize Bern City.
The enemy troops were exhausted from fighting non-stop for 2 days, they almost never slept for fear of Myro troops attacking suddenly when they were off guard.
As for the Myro troops, they slept without problems every day because Myro was in an attacking position, he was not afraid of the enemy's surprise attack.
For this reason, Myro divided his army into 10 parts so that when 5 parts of the army attacked, 5 even other troops could rest.
In this way, Myro's army could continue to rest and on the other hand he did not give the enemy time to sleep.
Hearing Ren's suggestion, Myro thought for a while "No, today is indeed the right time to attack Bern City because if we take too long, the help of the Diamant I King will arrive here! The problem is that now is not the time to seize Bern City using all the power, I think night is the most appropriate time to seize Bern City. When most of the enemy forces are tired from lack of sleep, they inevitably lower their guard and attention at night which gives us a chance. By attacking at night, the casualties in our army will be reduced".
As the day approached night, Myro made the decision "Let the troops stop attacking Bern City, then prepare food for the entire army, they must not starve in order to fight as well as possible at night!".
"Okay, sir!", shouted everyone around.
Not long after, the sound of trumpets and drums echoed in the Myro camp.
All the Myro troops immediately understood, the sound of the trumpet and drum telling them to retreat.
Therefore, all of Myro's forces stopped attacking Bern City and headed for their camp.
...----------------...
Ferta sighed when she found Myro's troops retreating, she had to admit the pressure she had received for these few days was truly great. Ferta felt that he could not do anything wrong or that the whole city of Bern would be taken by the enemy, so he had to keep making plans and go to war until he forgot to sleep.
So, Ferta felt very happy every time Myro's troops retreated which meant he managed to again defend Bern City.
Moments later, Ferta received a report from her army "General, we lost 10,000 troops in the war this afternoon, the enemy at most only suffered a loss of 1000 soldiers".
Ferta felt a headache receiving the report, their number of casualties was 10 times that of enemy casualties.
2 Days had passed since Myro attacked Bern City, Ferta lost 40,000 troops while Myro at most only lost 3000 different ones far away.
Not to mention the number of casualties in Myro's army mostly came from Myro's forces, more precisely the 100,000 fake troops he used to deceive Ferta before.
The reason Myro sent new troops was to train them, after all the original battlefield was the best place to train troops.
No matter how much warriors trained, they would never become elite soldiers unless they had passed through the original battlefield. Therefore, in Myro's eyes this war was an opportunity for 100,000 novice troops to become elite troops.
When they become an elite force, Myro was sure that these troops would not return to their respective territories but instead followed Myro because they had been close friends with Myro's forces for several days and heard Myro treat his troops as well as feed them, paychecks and pensions. After knowing all that, Myro wasn't sure they were planning to return to their former master.
Before Ferta planned to let her troops rest for a while while a small part of the army continued to walk to be ready if Myro's forces suddenly attacked, a soldier ran up to Ferta in a panic "General, a soldier, we have received a letter from your Majesty! We finally don't have to worry anymore!".
Hearing the letter from King Diamant I had arrived, Ferta was confused because it should take King Diamant I's army 5 days before arriving here "Quick give me the letter from your majesty!".
