THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 39: TRAITOR?
Although King Cavalry II was very weak and his body grew old, it did not make King Cavalry II a bad leader.
Without any hesitation, King Cavalry II put on his iron armor and sword before walking away from the tent.
However the enemy was attacking his base, therefore King Cavalry II used his armor and weapons to be ready to fight the enemy at any time.
After walking away from his tent, King Cavalry II shouted loudly "What's going on here? How many enemy troops? Then how much is the loss in our army?".
The soldier who had been waiting in front of the tent of Raha Cavalry II immediately shouted "Your Majesty, currently only the troops at the very front have suffered casualties, he said, the number is not too much, which is about tens to hundreds of victims. As for the number of enemies that attacked, we are still not too sure because of the dark surroundings due to the night. But according to the number of enemy arrow attacks, the enemy army that attacked only consisted of hundreds of people".
"Hundreds of people? With such a small number of troops, why are you panicking so much? Even though the enemy is on the offensive while we are sleeping, but how could our 9,000 troops not be able to fight against hundreds of enemy troops? Has the Cavalry Kingdom's army been so weakened that it can't win against tens of times more enemies?", cried King Cavalry II angrily, according to him, hundreds of enemy troops should not be able to make them panic in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case! But all the enemies are cavalry troops, they move quickly to attack our camp from all sides. With the help of the darkness of the night, it was very difficult to figure out the exact location of the enemy".
"Basic stupid! Just because of the darkness, you cannot find the enemy! Where are they now?", shouted King Cavalry II "Are they still attacking us?".
"It appears that the enemy forces have started to flee, they are no longer firing any arrows" the soldier said.
"Then go after it, tell the elite cavalry troops to chase after the enemy troops, 3000 troops can move directly! Do not let them return to Trock Fortress", cried King Cavalry II.
"Okay, your majesty!", shouted the troop who went quickly to tell the cavalry to prepare immediately.
After his 3000 elite cavalry began chasing the enemy with their horses, Cavalry King II, who remained in the camp with 6000 other troops, thought "The enemy is trying to take advantage of the night attack when we are asleep, they used the cavalry to make a quick attack and then fled back to Trock Fort. Hence, they could only send hundreds of people to carry out this attack due to their limited number of horses".
"They might think that we can't catch up with their troops who are fleeing with the cavalry, but let me tell them today that even the cavalry could not escape so easily after attacking our camp. In front of our 3000 elite cavalry, then the enemy definitely cannot escape".
"In the end the 4th prince was only a youngster who was still lacking in experience, his strategy this time failed! I don't know how he could have won from Ritke, but it was most likely just luck. With this kind of strategic ability, Ritke could not possibly lose!".
When King Cavalry II was busy thinking, a soldier walked up to him "Her majesty, there was a bird that suddenly came here with a letter. Based on this bird symbol, this letter is from the Azeroth Kingdom, should we throw it away?".
"Kingdom of Azeroth?", asked King Cavalry II puzzledly, but he suddenly thought of something "Wait a minute, maybe it's our partner on the enemy's side, give me the letter".
The soldier nodded and gave a paper to King Cavalry II.
King Cavalry II opened the letter to read the writing, not long after the face of King Cavalry II changed.
"Report to your highness, our cavalry troops have departed 10 minutes ago according to the direction given by your majesty" the soldier replied respectfully.
"Tell the whole army to move immediately, there is no need to take care of this camp, we must move as quickly as possible to help the cavalry troops!", cried King Cavalry II in panic.
The soldier stood still frozen, not understanding why King Cavalry II immediately changed his plans just by reading the letter.
"Why are you still standing here? Quickly tell the whole army to prepare, we will move now!", cried King Cavalry II angrily.
The soldier regained his senses, he turned around without hesitation to tell the other soldiers to prepare to move back.
King Cavalry II held the letter in his hand firmly, he now had a gloomy face "Who thought that all the attacks just now were traps, he said, the enemy's purpose is not to make night raids while we are asleep to surprise us, but rather the enemy's purpose is to attract us to jump into the traps they have prepared. Besides, there was an intelligent strategist named Ren who prepared all these plans, could defeat Ritke and trap me, this woman is very scary*.
"Now I must move the troops as quickly as possible to help the 3000 cavalry who have already left first, as long as I am late then my entire cavalry army will surely die. Fortunately I got a report from our comrades among the enemy higher-ups, otherwise I would have already lost!".
King Cavalry II stepped forward with a stern face, this time he knew that the 4th prince won from Ritke not because of luck but rather he got help from an intelligent strategist.
Therefore, King Cavalry II did not dare to underestimate the 4th prince again, this time he himself would lead this war directly.
...----------------...
Falka continued to lead his Mongol Cavalry troops back to Trock Fortress, they had just attacked the Cavalry Kingdom camp so it was time to return according to Ren's plan.
As they continued to walk on their horses, a soldier behind Falka shouted "Captain, behind us are thousands of heavily armed cavalrymen chasing after him, based on the emblem on their armor then this army is from the Cavalry Kingdom, what should we do? Do we have to increase the speed of our horses so that the enemy does not chase?".
Falka did not immediately reply, but instead she continued to look forward to find that the forest that Ren planned was very close.
"Save speed and keep going! Don't mind the enemy behind!", cried Falka.
Although the Mongol Cavalry did not understand why Falka had not told them to speed up their horses, the enemy was on the verge of pursuing them.
But these Mongol cavalry were such a trained army that they did not doubt Falka's words, they still let their horses continue to advance without accelerating at all.
