Escape From Capital

Horse squeals, screams of pain, the clanking of swords, as well as the clashing of magic that clashed with each other adorned the capital of the Warsaw kingdom. Bodies lay on the ground and blood flooded the surface. 100,000 royal troops faced off against 300,000 troops of duke Cetner. The loss of the number made the royal army desperate in such a way.

Their job is only one. Defend the capital until the blood-shed point is over. Duke Ankwicz was aware that he had been late and it was impossible for him to consolidate an army as much as that of duke Cetner. The fall of Krakov city into the hands of its enemies was inevitable.

Instead, he prepared something else. He'll make duke Cetner's victory very bloody. Every inch of the capital land he took would be a thousand graves for the best warriors of duke Cetner. He would buy time until the royal family managed to escape safely. The palace may fall into the hands of duke Cetner. But the bloodline of the Mietzsko family should not be erased.

Duke Cetner understands this. Hence he ordered his three elite cavalry squads to be on standby. Two squads were assigned to rush into the palace as quickly as possible and capture the king. Another team was tasked with closing the escape route.

For duke Cetner, the Mietzsko family is a stain on the Warsaw kingdom. Their ancestors did bring glory to this country. That's what made duke Cetner's grandfather follow them. But the Mietzsko family today is nothing more than a sick person. They are passive and tend to isolate themselves. As a result, they were far behind with other dominant powers in central Akkad.

He can't let this keep happening. If the Warsaw kingdom is too comfortable with the status quo, sooner or later this kingdom will be crushed by other great powers. Therefore the kingdom of Warsaw requires a New era of its glory. He is the one who will lead the new era.

The battle continues. Step by step the territory of the capital had been taken by the rebels, albeit with enormous casualties on their side. The tactics of duke Ankwicz were quite successful in restraining the pace of the rebel army.

"Hopefully you can reach the planned place safely which, your majesty."

Duke Ankwicz said this while looking up at the sky. That sentence is directed to anyone. More like a prayer heard by the wind and swept away.

...****...

A horse-drawn carriage rushed towards the southern region of the Warsaw kingdom. The horse-drawn carriage was escorted by the 20 best cavalry troops belonging to the royal family. The horse carriage driver was very skilled. He easily passed through the steep area, the roots poking, and the rocks in front of him.

"I hope you keep your word, count Jean De Ruhr."

The man who was both a husband and a father began to open his mouth. True, the one who became his interlocutor was Count Jean De Ruhr, a noble from the empire who had just risen in the western region of the Akkadian continent.

Jean smiled faintly. He slowly looked at the man, wife, daughter, then back to the husband.

"Don't worry, your majesty the king. I am the one who keeps the promise. But regarding the success of this plan, it's all in your hands."

And of course, John's interlocutor was the king Andrew III Mietzsko. The king of the kingdom of Warsaw whose power has just been removed. His face looked sour and worried. Who knows if they are being pursued by rebel forces.

Duke Ankwicz has given his time to the safety of the Mietzsko nuclear family. Her escape was assisted by Jean. Yes, Jean has basically made deals with the Mietzsko and Ankwicz families.

There is a reason why Jean gave the southern region of the kingdom an option as a place of escape. The first is because the southern region is a territory that is difficult to reach. The densely forested and hilly geographical conditions make many parties feel reluctant to explore this region further.

Second, because this area is very dangerous. The most dangerous in the whole kingdom. Their dense forest was inhabited by dangerous magic monsters. In addition, the southern region also borders directly with areas inhabited by bar-bar tribes who often attack villages and several cities around the border.

That is why, the southern region can provide time and opportunity for the king to organize and counter-resistance to the rebels. Jean has given assurances that duke Cetner will have no time to hunt them down.

While Jean closed her eyes, perhaps asleep, the King put his face up. I don't know what fate awaits this kingdom. The answer he will get soon.
