THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 37: ELITE CAVALRY
On the morning after the party, the entire top brass of the 4th princely army regrouped.
Be it Myro, Falka and Ren also get an invitation to come to this gathering, however everyone has already acknowledged Ren and Falka's ability so they must also come.
With the 4th prince sitting in the center of the meeting room, the Serpent who stood alone began to explain "I know that you all must still be resting from the war yesterday, but things have changed! Therefore the 4th prince allowed all of you to gather here, the purpose of which was to discuss the counterattack against the forces of the Cavalry Kingdom".
"According to the information obtained by our scouts, the 3000 elite cavalry from the Cavalry Kingdom began to move in this direction. They were the best troops in the Cavalry Kingdom, not even inferior to the elite forces of Azeroth Kingdom. Not only that, the king of the Cavalry Kingdom also gathered an entire army from all the nobles, so they also had 5000 infantry troops and 1000 additional cavalry from these nobles. With that, the number of enemy troops is about 9000 soldiers who are almost the same as us".
"The problem is that they use cavalry troops, although we have more elite troops but everyone knows that cavalry troops have an advantage on the terrain in the form of grasslands. While almost in the entire area of the Cavalry Kingdom is a meadow with a small amount of forest and almost no mountains. This made their cavalry troops gain more advantage, this is the only report I got from the scouts".
After which, everyone looked back at the 4th prince to await his decision.
The 4th Prince tapped the table a few times with his finger while closing his eyes to think, not long after that he opened his eyes again "What about their leader? I don't remember the Cavalry Kingdom having any other famous generals besides Ritke. No matter how strong and numerous an army is, without a proper leader it becomes weak".
"For the matter of its leader", the Serpent hesitated before saying "I don't know if this information is accurate, but according to the news spread in the Royal Capital of the Cavalry the leader is King Cavalry II".
"What's? King Cavalry II intervened directly in this war? Isn't he very old and can't go to the battlefield anymore?", asked the 4th prince uncertainly, based on the information he had before invading the Cavalry Kingdom, the present king, King Cavalry II, was too old, only a matter of time before he died of exhaustion.
The snare nodded heavily "He is so old that he should not be able to fight anymore, but perhaps he knew that there were no more suitable generals in the Cavalry Kingdom to help, he said, so he intervened himself".
The 4th prince sat heavily in his chair, not only the 4th prince but the faces of everyone in this room became gloomy.
Myro had already heard of this matter of King Cavalry II through the lessons in Aras City before, King Cavalry II may be very old now but when he was young he was famous for his courage and intelligence he had to lead an army.
King Cavalry II was once just a prince with no background, many people did not believe that he could be the next king, at that time more ministers and military generals supported the crown prince to the throne.
But using his intelligence and courage, King Cavalry II began a rebellion against the crown prince who would ascend to the throne before succeeding.
Finally he could become king through his own abilities, as long as he became king as well then King Cavalry II continued to take the small kingdom around him until it became the Cavalry Kingdom as it is today.
The 4th Prince took a breath to suppress his shock, he looked towards Ren "Miss Ren, do you have any more plans to fight the enemy this time?".
Ren opened the folding fan in his hand before saying "I don't have any plans".
Before Ren could say more, Luin had already stood up while smiling mockingly at "Hahahaha, did you finally confess that the previous victory was only luck? At the Battle of Trock Fort yesterday, you just happened to think of a strategy, didn't you? Therefore, you don't have any more strategies now".
Myro looked at this Luin coldly, it seemed that Luin was very determined to be hostile towards them, so Myro also did not need to be polite anymore "Even though Ren could not make any plans right now, at least he could win the Trock Fortress. While yesterday there was someone who failed to make a plan to fight Trock Fortress, even he made the 4th prince lose 2000 troops. But strangely that fellow was still so arrogant as to ridicule Ren, was that fellow not embarrassed?".
"You-" Luin did not believe that the son of a little Baron dared to scold him, even the Duke's son did not behave this way towards him while in the academy.
As Luin was about to become even more furious, the 4th prince shouted "Luin, can you shut up first? Is the previous defeat still not enough to make you learn?".
"Prince, give me another chance-" said Luin trying to persuade the 4th prince.
"I've given you a chance, otherwise I would have let you go from this place! By observing this war, then you can learn a lot from Miss Ren, do you still not understand? Other than the knowledge you have, one also needs experience to become a great strategist! You better sit down now, if you still can't sit then I'll let the guards take you away!", said the 4th prince coldly.
Luin could only sit back with a face displeased at hearing the prince's cry.
Seeing Luin's demeanor, the 4th prince slightly shook his head. Though the prince let Luin stay seated here is so that he can learn the knowledge of Ren, however Ren is a follower of Myro which means he can not continue to help the 4th prince.
Therefore, as long as Luin learned from Ren and became an intelligent strategist as well, then Luin did not need any more strategists to help him.
But knowing Luin's arrogant attitude and not trying to learn from Ren, the 4th prince knew that it seemed impossible.
Throwing away his hope to Luin, the 4th prince asked again "Miss Ren, can I know why you can't come up with a strategy to help? Do you have a problem? As long as there is a problem, we definitely do our best to help Miss Ren!".
Ren covered his mouth using the folding fan that he had opened "There is indeed a slight problem so that I can't come up with a proper strategy for you guys in this war".
