THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 32: TRYING TO ESCAPE
When Ritke and Trock's new Citadel troops arrive at their abandoned encampment as planned, Myro along with the rest of the Mongol cavalry troops hiding in the surrounding meadows soon realized that his plan was about to begin. With the help of the darkness of the night, the position of those hiding in the meadow near the camp was completely unknown to the enemy, if it was day or day, then their existence would have been known to the enemy.
As Myro thought, The net which was not far away and was hiding was standing up, he shouted towards the surrounding troops "All the attacking forces! Archers shoot from behind while you are carrying swords and spears then follow me to hunt down enemies especially those trying to escape!".
"Okay, captain!", shouted all the soldiers around excitedly as victory was in sight.
Simultaneously with that shout, Jerat had already stepped forward while carrying the sword in his hand.
The archers of the combined forces of the nation, the elite archers of the Azeroth Kingdom and the Mongol Cavalry had already raised the bow in their hands, then hundreds to thousands of arrows flew in the sky towards Ritke and his troops who had already jumped into the traps they had prepared.
Ritke who had just turned to escape suddenly heard the sound of arrows shot, although he could not see the direction of the arrows shot because the night was too dark, but Ritke knew that all the arrows were shooting towards them.
Without a doubt, though,. Ritke raised the small shield he had in his hand and raised it up above the sky to stop the approaching arrow.
"Stabs!".
With the help of the shield in his hand, Ritke was not hit by an arrow at all, but the other troops were not as smart and fast as Ritke.
Therefore, most of the Trock Fortress troops were shot by arrows. There were some troops who died immediately from the gunfire, but most of the troops were only lightly or heavily injured like they could not walk anymore due to arrows shooting at his feet.
"Don't panic! The whole army took your shields, then moved back slowly back to the Trock Fortress!", shouted Ritke trying to remind his troops to retreat.
"Strike!", before Ritke could retreat, the sound of battle cries echoed from all directions in this campground, Ritke knew that they were already surrounded.
Not long after, the army of Azeroth Kingdom led by the Serpent was seen from behind the darkness of night, they attacked all the Ritke troops.
Although most of the troops in Trock Fortress were elite troops that had already passed through many battlefields, they were not prepared for the siege of Azeroth Kingdom's forces. Not to mention they were still very panicked because they did not understand about the circumstances that were going on, this made the Azeroth Kingdom army able to defeat them easily.
The snare led the elite forces of Azeroth Kingdom directly, he shouted at the front of the troops as well as slashing every troop of Trock Fortress in front of him.
No matter who the enemy was in front of him, with the slash of the sword of the snare then they must have died.
The entire body and the sword of the Netherworld were already covered by blood, it was unknown how many troops he had killed but his prowess just now had shown him the reason why he could become a captain in the elite army of Azeroth Kingdom, which he was a captain in, although not as strong as Falka but this Jrat is still not weak.
The ensnare ignored the blood all over him, he just looked left and right while shouting "I am the Captain of the Serpent from the elite forces of Azeroth Kingdom, which one of you is General Ritke? If you still have the courage of a general, then go ahead and fight me! We're gonna duel!".
Not because he was afraid to fight the Jatang, but Ritke felt he should not die here.
As long as he survives and leaves from here, then he can return to the Royal Family Cavalry and lead thousands of elite royal cavalry to take revenge.
With the darkness of the night and the large troop of Trock Fortress trying to cover the location of their general from the enemy, Ritke was able to move back slowly to get away from this place.
Although the Azeroth Kingdom troops were carrying torches with them, it was too dark a night that made the torches not at all enough to light up this entire camp.
When Jerat was still busy trying to find Ritke, dozens of Trock Fortress troops rushed to surround him.
This shows the loyalty of Trock Fortress troops to Ritke, even they prefer to die rather than let the enemy know the location of their general.
Seeing the dozens of troops that surrounded him, Jerat did not panic at all but angry "I think tonight we still can not kill Ritke, he said, letting him live is the riskiest option but there is no other option. I can't find her in the middle of the night like this!".
The current Ritke was enough to get away from the Jerat, when it was confirmed that Jerat could no longer see him now then Ritke turned around and ran without hesitation. Ritke had already left his horse since the shooting of the arrow, the reason being that only he and his representative were wearing horses. Therefore, if Ritke continues to use the horse then his position becomes more easily known to Jatang, only by getting off the horse and on foot then he can hide from the observation of Jerat.
Before he could run too far, a shout sounded from behind Ritke that made his face turn "Ritke, if you have the courage then don't run away! Show your courage as the General of the Cavalry Kingdom, I'm Falka who will fight you today!".
Ritke turned to find Falka escorted by 10 Mongol Cavalrymen rushing towards him quickly, no matter what Trock Fortress was trying to stop them, in front of the Mongol cavalry, the Trock Fortress could do nothing.
After getting close enough from Ritke, Falka jumped off her horse and landed right in front of Ritke.
He drew his sword while coldly saying "Thank you for your weapons! As long as you can beat me then you can just get out of here!".
Ever since Falka was already in front of him, Ritke knew that the chance of escape was gone.
Ritke took his sword as well while saying "I Ritke can die, but it's not that easy to kill me! I remember you, you are the army that once shot an arrow into my hand! To this day I still cannot use my right hand due to that arrow shot, I will fight you with my left hand! Your name is Falka, isn't it? Today I may die, but I will also take you with me!".
Looking at Ritke who could only use his left hand, Falka changed his right hand to his left hand to hold the sword "I will not accept excuses when you lose later, Falka changed his right hand to hold the sword "I will not accept excuses when you lose later, you say you lose because you can't use your right hand. Therefore, I also use my left hand against you, with this then we can fight fairly!".
"It turns out that you are a brave warrior, I acknowledge you as my enemy!", said the precious Ritke advancing towards Falka, the battle of a Cavalry General and captain of the Myro Mongol Cavalry army began.
