THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 327: MOVEMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF AZEROTH
Hearing the War Duke's words, the prime minister immediately shook his head "No way! The 2nd Division was an important existence for the Azeroth Kingdom, no less important than the 1st division to fight the Diamant Kingdom. Moreover, you must have heard, 10,000 1st division troops went to the territory of Duke Victory with Sarvo, therefore the 1st division troops were reduced to 90,000 troops. Although a decrease of 10,000 troops did not look much, yet they were all the best elites of the Azeroth Kingdom! The 10,000 1st division troops that left were not inferior to even the best elite troops of the Diamant Kingdom".
The Duke of War was not at all surprised at the prime minister's reply to refuse to send the 2nd division, but rather from the beginning he had known the prime minister must have refused so that he could bid back "If the 2nd division cannot, then you must send the 3rd division to help me. Moreover, the combined army of nobles who helped me should number 300,000, if you guys still refuse, I will not fight the Victory Duke either. However I am not a fool, the Victory Duke is a figure who is able to fight against King Diamant I even though the army of the Diamant Kingdom has not used its full strength. Without the help of the Azeroth Kingdom, I cannot help you either".
The prime minister thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement heavily "I will try to talk about this matter with King Azeroth VI, after all the decision is in the hands of his majesty. But I will do my best to persuade your majesty to agree to your offer. Although I agreed to send Division 3 and 300,000 combined forces to help you fight the Victory Duke, but you better not forget 1 thing that they are not your subordinates!".
"As long as the 3rd division and other forces consider you a failure as the leader of the war, they may return".
The War Duke smiled confidently "Don't worry, I won't fail! Even though I'm old enough, I'm still a War Duke! Duke Victory is strong, but he has a big weakness that is his young age. Compared to me who has fought for decades, the Victory Duke should not be my opponent! At most 5 months, you will hear the news of my victory against the Duke of Victory".
"I hope so" said the prime minister, who turned away from the room.
However, all the divisions in the Kingdom of Azeroth did not hear the decision of the prime minister, they were only loyal to King Azeroth. Therefore, the prime minister must obtain King Azeroth's approval first before being able to send the 3rd division to assist the War Duke.
Looking at the departing prime minister, the smiling face of the War Duke turned to caution "Did the prime minister plan to use the entire power of the Kingdom of Azeroth to defeat the Kingdom of Diamant before he died so that King Azeroth VI could become king completely? Very interesting, King Diamant I was unlucky! He was indeed talented, but compared to the original strength of Azeroth Kingdom, he had yet to become an opponent! I don't know, how much will the Kingdom of Azeroth use the power they've been hiding all this time to defeat the Kingdom of Diamant?".
After thinking for a while, the War Duke shook his head and stood up from the seat "It is useless that I continue to think about the matter, now I must prepare against the Victory Duke. Although I can win against him if I receive the help of the 3rd and 300,000th divisions of Azeroth Kingdom, I have to make some preparations in order to win more easily".
The War Duke left his room, he had to prepare an entire army as well as gather all the strategists he had to discuss regarding the attack against Myro.
...----------------...
The next day, news of the 1st prince's death spread throughout the kingdom which left many people shocked again.
Neither King Azeroth VI nor Duke of War said the cause of death of the eldest prince, but of the Duke of War who was loyal again to the Kingdom of Azeroth, everyone understood it was most likely the War Duke himself who killed the eldest prince.
Not stopping there, shocking news continued to arrive from the Azeroth Kingdom.
The 1st and 2nd divisions moved towards the borders of the Diamant Kingdom, where there were Limo and Rifu forces.
Then the 2nd prince decided to recognize the throne of King Azeroth VI, he retreated without any rebellion.
Grand Duke Jirnas who was once the grandfather of the 2nd prince gave his loyalty to King Azeroth VI.
After that, Grand Duke Lax who did not lose to Grand Duke Rayde or Jirnas also showed his loyalty to the Kingdom of Azeroth.
He sent 400,000 troops directly to prove his loyalty, even though of all the troops he sent, no one was an elite force.
With the 2 Grand Dukes showing their loyalty to the Azeroth Kingdom, there were only 2 other Grand Dukes who did nothing: 1 Grand Duke loyal to King Diamant I.
As for Grand Duke Rayde, they did not show their position in the slightest but remained silent to the changing circumstances in Azeroth Kingdom.
When the 2 Grand Duke had shown their position, the other nobles certainly did not sit idly by.
Except for the nobles in the northern region of Azeroth Kingdom and Diamant Kingdom, almost all the nobles in Azeroth Kingdom sent an army supporting the attack against Diamant Kingdom.
Hundreds of nobles from Duke to Baron combined the troops they had. Although everyone at most only sent no more than half the troops they had, the Azeroth Kingdom still had a relief force of 1.5 million which was a frightening amount.
No matter which kingdom in the Northern Continent heard of the 1.5 million troops, they only said 1 thing that even though the Azeroth Kingdom was already divided, the full strength of the strongest empire in the Northern Continent remained extremely strong.
The forces of General Limo, General Rifu, 1st division and 2nd division consisted of 390,000 troops who were all the best elite troops of the Azeroth Kingdom.
Grand Duke Jirnas sent 350,000 troops while Grand Duke Lax gave 400,000 soldiers so they provided assistance as many as 750,000 troops.
The combined forces of the nobility provided an additional 1.5 million troops, the entire army of the Kingdom of Azeroth to fight the Kingdom of Diamant was 2.64 million troops.
Hearing the enormous number of troops, the many kingdoms around Azeroth Kingdom trembled in fear.
At first they thought the Kingdom of Azeroth had been split up which became an opportunity for them to attack, but they now realized that they had no chance of winning from the already divided Kingdom of Azeroth though.
2.64 Million troops are not the full force of the Kingdom of Azeroth, there are General Tarka and General of the Eastern Frontier of the Kingdom of Azeroth who have not moved.
Verlan then did not join the war, he kept the Royal Capital of Azeroth.
Everyone immediately became curious, how the actions of King Diamant I faced the attack of the Azeroth Kingdom.
