THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 318: CHANGE OF STATE OF WAR
Bartan never thought he would go back to war, let alone he now leads 40,000 retirees from Lavle City.
Although most of them had injuries such as the loss of their hands, feet, eyes or other body parts that made their strength, but anyone who dares to underestimate them for doing so must regret that before they were injured, they were all elite troops.
More precisely all the help that came to Myro's aid now was none other than the people that Kelrun had helped in the Diamant Kingdom and was very grateful to him, he said, Bartan and the others are retired elite troops belonging to Kelrun so their ability on the battlefield is not in doubt at all.
Even for Kelrun, they did not hesitate to sell their farms or shops in order to buy weapons, armor or horses.
After fighting against King Diamant I, however, they could not continue to stay here. Therefore, rather than storing treasures that would disappear after they moved to help Myro, it was better to sell them for weapons as well as other objects that added to their strength.
Upon arriving at the battlefield where Myro's army and King Diamant I's cavalry were fighting, Bartan smiled.
Not only him, but the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him smiled. They were neither afraid nor worried at all, but rather they were happy to be able to return to the battlefield they had left behind for many years.
Although not all retirees decided to help Myro, after all some retirees in Lavle City already have families so they are not interested in becoming enemies of the Diamant Kingdom where they live, but 40,000 brave troops are still forming in Lavle City for Kelrun.
Bartan raised his sword high using his left hand "You may not have fought for a long time, but I'm sure your strength will not be much reduced considering you who often do battle training every day! Now is the time to show you all the results of your training, show King Diamant I, how much of a mistake he made for killing General Kelrun! Let's show him the power of General Kellun's army! All the attacking forces! Show your courage and repay General Kelrun's kindness!".
"Light!", the cries of tens of thousands of troops echoed throughout the battlefield, they rushed towards the elite cavalry of the army of the Diamant I King without hesitation.
Despite knowing their opponent was the cavalry, they did not hesitate in the least because from the beginning they came here, they were ready to be killed.
After all most of them had sustained heavy injuries in the past, they understood that if they fought against Diamant I King with their injuries, they would most likely die.
But they decided to keep going, even if they died, at least Kelrun's corpse could return to the Kingdom of Azeroth and be buried like a general. They didn't come here for gifts or money, they all fought because they tried to repay Kelrun's kindness.
...----------------...
Myro who kept shooting arrows found Bartan's arrival and 40,000 troops. Not stopping there, tens of thousands of other aid continued to arrive that gave King Diamant I's cavalry besieged from the front and rear.
"Finally they arrived, everything went according to plan!", said Ren smilingly finding the arrival of help "But the number of troops that came was too much, did Lana provide assistance?".
"I don't know, Lana hasn't told you anything since she left a few years ago!", said Myro, who was riding on his horse "Since help has arrived, it's time to attack! Ren, let's show the cruel king, a king doesn't have to always use cruelty and strength to make his people submit! The good kings are not those who are feared by the people, but the good kings are those who are respected and appreciated by the people! Tell the whole army to attack! Now that the enemy cavalry has been destroyed due to the arrival of the aid that gave the surprise attack, we must seize this opportunity and strike back!".
"Well, sir!", said the soldiers around Myro who rushed to report the matter to the other Myro generals for them to begin attacking.
Myro with Yorou and his bodyguards rushing forward towards the battlefield section with their horses, Myro this time planned to lead his own army and show King Diamant I his strength.
During this time the Kingdom of Azeroth and the Kingdom of Diamant I still underestimated the power of Myro, they considered Myro an insignificant enemy in the north that could be destroyed at any time.
But today Myro will change the minds of people throughout the Kingdom of Azeroth and the Kingdom of Diamant, let them know that the figure they underestimated in the north turned out to be a lion ready to eat them.
Therefore, helping to bring back Kelrun's corpse was the first step Myro became king, Myro's goal was to get recognition from the population that he was fit to be king.
Myro did not have royal blood like King Azeroth VI and King Diamant I, therefore in order for him to become king, he had to be recognized by many residents.
Seeing Myro who was further away leading the troops, Ren who was behind had not stepped forward with his horse but muttered while opening his folding fan "Master, didn't you ask me before about who would be a king? If master were to ask me now, I would definitely answer that you already look like the current king!".
Ren smiled and closed his folding fan, he hurriedly followed Myro forward and counterattacked against the forces of King Diamant I.
...----------------...
After the arrival of the aid, the Myro army formation underwent a change.
Myro immediately appointed Falka as the new main general and started the attack while Aclan, because he was the general of defense then Aclan who stopped being the main general again led the knights, not the entire army anymore.
Aclan also did not mind, after all he was not suitable to make an attack strategy.
The Myro army formation changed, the Victory Army was in the middle with the Herfu troops, especially the 10,000 Snow Infantry who were deadly enemies of the cavalry using their spears.
On the left and right sides of the army, the Mongol Cavalry as well as other cavalry began to move showing their abilities.
As the Victory Army and Herfu troops were in the vanguard, the samurai were in the middle ranks and became heavy archers, they showed the frightening ability of their arrows to the fullest now as heavy archers.
At the rear, there were knights and the Roman Legion guarding the archers and killing all the enemy cavalry who tried to attack from the side.
As for the new troops, they joined the front ranks to kill as many enemy cavalry as possible.
Assistance forces attack from all sides of the cavalry, however they appear suddenly so attacking from the side is the best option to confuse the enemy cavalry.
Attacked from the front, left and right, the elite cavalry belonging to King Diamant I was unable to hold it back and looked like it would be destroyed at any time.
Although Ferta and his troops were sent to help, the relief forces immediately rushed to hold Ferta's forces.
Myro's army consisted of nearly 400,000 troops now while King Diamant I had less than 300,000. Although almost half of Myro's forces were not elite but newly formed troops as well as relief forces who had suffered heavy injuries in the past, but their large numbers soon gave Myro's army an edge.
Ramond who observed all that could not help but sigh and stare at the extremely gloomy King Diamant I beside him "Your Majesty, we must retreat! Even if we fight stubbornly against Myro's army and happen to win, your elite cavalry must be destroyed which is very detrimental to us! Moreover, these 200,000 elite cavalry troops are our essential weapons, considering that the troops under the other 5 main generals are still being trained. If all of our elite cavalry were to die here, the Azeroth Kingdom would have seized the opportunity and killed all of us wounded in this war".
"There is no point in continuing a war that only benefits King Azeroth VI, we must retreat and give way to the Duke of Victory! We did fail this time, but there will be a chance to avenge the Victory Duke in the future after the army of 5 main generals is trained! The longer the noble decides, the heavier our losses will be, so I hope your Majesty tells the cavalry and General Ferta to retreat as soon as possible".
