THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 313: CLOSING THE WAY BACK
4 Days passed without any problem, Myro's troops left Bern City as quickly as possible after they had obtained Kelrun's corpse.
Based on the distance between Bern City and the northern region of Azeroth Kingdom, Myro should be able to leave the Diamant Kingdom with his troops tonight.
Although he almost left the Diamant Kingdom without facing the enemy, Myro who was in the front row of his troops and riding on horseback was not at all happy but Myro's face was very gloomy.
Retya who followed from behind couldn't help but ask curiously "Master, why don't you look happy? Even you look worried, when we managed to bring General Kelrun's body as planned. When all goes without problems, we will arrive north of the Kingdom of Azeroth in a moment. Therefore, is there still a problem that bothers master?".
No need for Myro to explain, Ren replied "As you said, if we manage to leave the Diamant Kingdom tonight, then everything must be good. The problem is the enemy will definitely not let us get out of here! During the 4-day journey, we have not faced each other directly against the enemy but rather the fleeing Ferta forces continue to try to disturb us. Although we do not receive many victims as a result of their actions, but our journey becomes disrupted. If Ferta hadn't interfered, we should have arrived north of Azeroth Kingdom by now".
"Then why has Ferta stopped bothering us since last night? Previously Ferta always sent thousands of soldiers day or night to hinder us, but he did not take any action last night. What do you think is the reason?".
Retya is not very intelligent, but he is a very great figure on the battlefield so he certainly understands the plans of Ferta and the Kingdom of Diamant "Ferta will not let us leave the Kingdom of Diamant, he said, even if his entire army had to die, at least until the help of the Diamant Kingdom appeared. But Ferta stopped blocking last night, does that mean the enemy's help has arrived against us?".
"It should be" said Ren.
"No way!", said Retya in surprise "For 4 days, we travel as fast as possible. Except at night, our soldiers never stop walking. Even if Ferta keeps bothering us, the enemy won't catch up to us this fast!".
"It is impossible if the enemy is using infantry, but what if the enemy forces are all cavalry?" Ren said.
Retya's face changed, especially when he heard most of the enemy troops were cavalry.
If the enemy uses hundreds of thousands of cavalry, even Retya does not believe himself to be able to defeat the enemy because the terrain in the Diamant Kingdom is very supportive of cavalry.
Most of the land in Diamant Kingdom was lowland, only a few mountains or hills here which meant that the cavalry were able to move and show their full strength in Diamant Kingdom.
Myro has a phalanx formation to fight cavalry, the problem is that the number of hundreds of thousands of cavalry is not something that can be easily overcome by the phalanx again.
As long as Myro's forces did not cooperate with each other to form a formation, the enemy cavalry would destroy them.
Moreover, most of Myro's forces were the combined forces of the Victory Army, General Herfu's forces and the newly recruited noble joint forces, there was no way they could all work well together forming a phalanx formation against the cavalry.
Seeing Retya not speaking, Myro continued to stare towards the front "Don't worry, we can definitely think of how to deal with the enemy! What is most important now is to know if the enemy actually managed to catch up to us? Were their troops indeed hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry? After that, how many are they? At least we should know about the enemy before making a plan to defeat them".
Slowly Retya's face returned to normal, he took a breath and said sternly "I understand, sir!".
But when Myro was close to the border, it took him only 5 hours to reach the border and leave the Diamant Kingdom, a soldier who was a scout for the road in front of the soldier running towards Myro "Sir, important report!".
Ren observed the approaching soldier as he muttered "It seems like what we think is right, the enemy is actually chasing us and blocking the path ahead".
The soldier who had not heard Ren's words at all knelt down in front of Myro "Master, the spy in front carries an important message for master".
"Say!", Myro replied firmly.
Breathing out, the soldier shouted frantically "In front of us, there are 200,000 troops mostly made up of cavalry. In addition, there were another 100,000 troops who were infantry. Based on our observations of the enemy armor, their infantry were troops from Ferta who had fled from the city of Bern. As for the 200,000 cavalry, we don't yet know their origin. But through the flags and emblems on their armor, the cavalry came from the Diamant Kingdom! I don't know if this news is accurate, but a word spread among the surrounding populace and nobles that King Diamant I was taking part in the assailant this time! He came to stop the master!".
Everyone immediately became cautious after the soldier reported the circumstances ahead.
In order to leave the Diamant Kingdom, they had to fight 300,000 troops, let alone most of them were cavalry who greatly benefited by the terrain of the Diamant Kingdom.
Not stopping there, the existence of King Diamant I also brought great problems to Myro's army.
Although notoriously ruthless, everyone in the Kingdom of Azeroth had to acknowledge the abilities of King Diamant I on the battlefield.
He was indeed unlike Myro who had never been defeated, but at least King Diamant I had better abilities than his younger brother, King Azeroth VI.
In addition, if King Diamant I comes here, his famous adviser and has been appointed as prime minister will certainly come.
The King's advisor Observed I was famous as an intelligent figure who helped King Diamant I many times to become the king he is today, it is not known whether King Diamant I was able to become a king without the help of his advisors.
Everyone stared at Myro and Ren, rather they were waiting for Myro's decision.
Against the Diamant I King, they were not afraid at all because they were all generals who had gone through many battlefields.
But they were worried that defeat against King Diamant I would affect Myro's path to becoming king, even the possibility of Myro being killed on the battlefield.
Thinking for a while, Myro finally sighed "It seems that we have no other choice but to use the plan. Although I disagree too much with the plan, but I can't sit by and watch my army being destroyed. Ren, you can act according to the plan we discussed yesterday!".
Under everyone's confused gaze, Ren bowed as quickly as possible "I understand, sir! I must have done the job I was given the best I could!".
