The Young King's Great Ambition
Chapter 75: The Good News and the Siege

Fermund came out of the pool, he couldn't stay in the bath for long, he dried his body and changed his clothes.

It was time for dinner before bed, Hermund gathered with his three sisters at the dinner table.

Unlike his brother who thought nothing of it, Hermund was anxious to know tomorrow, where there would be war in other parts of the continent.

They all ate very happily, Hermund covered his problems and tried not to point out the problems he faced in front of his sister.

After they ate they went to bed early, Hermund tried to sleep and thought about the matter tomorrow morning.

There was a bright light in the east, the sun would rise, Hermund who woke up and drank something on his desk went back to sleep again until the sun had fully risen.

Fermund was really awake when the sun had risen, Hermund sent a message to duke Wenster to prepare for his meeting with the emperor in his territory.

Fermund immediately sent the Night Raven members at the association branch headquarters to scout the situation in Lordum city.

He also sent a message to Juvel to test the elemental weapon and Ray Rod with the magic barrier target.

Once again he came to the headquarters of the royal magic organization, he as usual saw the trial remotely.

The first weapons they would try were two Elemental Thunder Arrow weapons, a magician aiming his arrows towards the magic barrier that formed a dome that protected the bulls eye in the middle.

The magician pulled out a not-so-powerful lightning bolt from the arrow before he unleashed it.

After he laid the arrow, it was evident that the arrow was able to make a big hole, but the protector immediately poured out again.

Perhaps this could still hurt the Griffin Rider even though they had a barrier, but their focus was the barrier that existed in the city.

Next was Wind Javelin, the next time Fermund's inj tried it himself he was seen by Silford from a distance.

Fermund threw it with all his might, a wind magic that made the javelin go faster.

Javelin it also makes a hole can even penetrate, but it would be very risky if the javelin is confined in enemy territory, they can hunt the weapon to produce it.

Now that a witch is trying to attack that narrier with Ray Ball, the first pearl-sized Ray ball will be released.

The pearl ball is formed quickly, after release, the light bulb penetrates the barrier and hits the bull eye, yapi not too strong the damage power produced.

Fermund who was near the coffin of the elemental weapon thought of something, he turned his gaze to the magician and said "try to make a continuous attack"

The witch complied with Fermund's request, the witch readying herself and draining her magic energy.

Pearl-sized light balls are released in a row, the light balls penetrate the barrier and make many holes in the barrier.

"Now make a big ball of light and point it at the barrier" Fermund ordered.

The witch's change occurred, the witch did not want to spend her magic energy because it restored magic energy for a long time.

The witch holds the Ray Rod mode Ray Ball, she forms a large ball of light that she still holds on the Ray Rod.

"Take it off right now!" Shouted Fermund

The ball of light was hurtling at a rather slow speed, but something amazing happened.

The ball of light hit the barrier, the ball of light did not stop melting the barrier, the light spread and the ball of light slowly disappeared as it spread its light in all directions.

Half the barrier was destroyed and the bulls eye was charred blackened by the slight touch of light, with spontaneous Fermund who was near Wind Javelin directly threw the javelin and destroyed the bulls eye.

"We can destroy the barrier!!"

"Since the barrier is badly damaged, its regeneration will be long, we still have hope!"

"Yes!, city-made weapons are invincible!!"

Silford was speechless in disbelief, but in the end he laughed at the prowess of the giant Ray Ball that smashed the barrier in half.

Fermund rejoiced, he had nothing to worry about now with the city-state of Rovalor overshadowing his city with a barrier, no more,now he was not agitated anymore and could have attacked the city-state with a siege on land and at sea with a large army.

"The production of these weapons is numerous, I want them to be deployed to naval bases and all over the border first" Fermund ordered

"Well, your honor, we'll produce it tomorrow, now we want to check the quality of the ingredients" Juvel said excitedly

Meanwhile, Strandborg was already in the city of Lordum with his allies, they were building camp and preparing to attack.

They didn't bring any siege tools this time, they would destroy the walls and attack the troops on the walls with fireballs from the fire magician riding on the Griffin.

Griffin Rider was ready, they flew to launch the fireball down, but there was a problem.

The fire attack made the hidden barrier clear.

"What the hell is this, they also have a barrier" Strandborg said frantically

"Damn it, we don't know about this, and also this barrier is the same as the barrier in our three cities" said Zelnoir

"Is it possible they're spying on us to get information about our barrier!" Murtis said he thought

All the Griffin Riders retreated, the three city lords returned to the tent thinking of a strategy.

All the troops who had marched began to split into their respective camps awaiting the decision of their leaders.

In the leader's tent, the three people stared at the map of the city on the desk, their commanders were all there, and they were there,they had to think hard to do something so that they could reach the gate and destroy the gate in order to enter.

"How about we smash that not-so-high wall for our troops to pass by when Griffin's men try to make a hole in that barrier" Murtis suggested

"Good idea, we're gonna make a big hole in that top barrier and get some Griffin Riders to enter the city and destroy it." Zelnoir

Strandborg thought again how to get their troops through the gate, when they destroyed the gate by punching holes in the barrier first.

"Command a heavy army to protect the magician who will cast a magic streak that holds the barrier when the gate is already ours is destroyed"

After thinking about that strategy, all the troops lined up, the Griffin rider blasted the outer wall with apai magic so that all the heavy infantry soldiers could get close with the shield wall formation.

Each of the two heavy infantry soldiers advanced and drew closer to the gate with the fire magician.

The fire magician hollowed out the barrier and smashed the gate, the garrison chief of Lordum city ordered all their infantry troops to be ready.

The witch spewed fire on the barrier so as not to regenerate, then many heavy infantry advanced in groups entering the city gate.

They all entered the city and saw an ordinary infantry army that was easily defeated, but they did not see, there were two walls on the right and left sides, and in front of them there was another gate.

It looks like the city has two gates, and perhaps the zone entered by the Rovalia warriors was designed to trap and encircle the enemy.

The rain of fire arrows from the right and left sides made the heavy infantry troops run to and fro shouting with cries of suffering because their bodies were burning.

The infantry of Lordum City slaughtered them all.

Several heavy infantry who escaped made the witch panic and flee, as their escape was showered by fire arrows.

The three of them who saw the fleeing Rovalia troops, must have guessed that they were trapped in the area between the two gates.

"Griffin Rider!,fuck!!"

All griffin riders were deployed as the remaining plan, they hoped if the Griffin Rider was successful, but in fact it was not that easy.
