THE FIGHT TO BE KING

CHAPTER 25: THE BATTLE OF TROCK FORTRESS

4 Days passed quickly, and now General Ritke was sitting on the wall of the Trock Fortress with a bandage tying his right hand.

Falka's shot was not fatal to Ritke's life, but this caused Ritke to be unable to fight because his hand could not hold the sword again until his wound healed which took several months.

"General, is the wound in your hand okay?", suddenly a soldier who is Ritke's right hand came to question his condition.

Ritke stared at the wound in his hand while shaking his head "I can't hold my sword but it won't bother me to lead you, no need to worry. Besides, you also have to be careful! I heard that General Limo should not be participating in this fight at all, this important information we get directly from a prince of Azeroth Kingdom so it cannot be wrong. So most likely, there is another powerful existence beside the 4th prince other than General Limo, you guys should be careful".

"I understand the general, I will tell the other troops as well" said the soldier who went to talk to the soldiers around.

When the new Ritke will close his eyes to rest, after all the enemy has not attacked for several days.

A soldier's cry sounded "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is restarting their attack!".

Hearing that, Ritke stood up to find that the enemy troops began marching to attack them. Different from a few days ago, the forces of the Azeroth Kingdom were more orderly and orderly. At least they're not like the armed residents anymore.

"Tell the entire army to prepare, the enemy this time is different from before! We have indeed won and almost killed 1000 enemy troops, but they still have 6000 troops and about 4000 elite troops, not to be arrogant because of the previous victory!", shouted Ritke.

"Understand, general!", shouted all the generals firmly.

...----------------...

Myro again observed the upcoming battlefield with the other noble children, while Falka and the Mongol Cavalry had not yet had a chance to act again this time.

The 4th Prince walked up to Myro with a friendly smile, the reason being none other than Falka's ability when shooting Ritke. Even Limo behind the 4th prince admired Falka's arrow ability, therefore the 4th prince respected Myro more than before.

"Myro, are you able to rest well?", asked the 4th prince who was standing beside Myro.

"I can't sleep lately, before I can achieve victory then it's quite difficult to sleep, I always feel worried" Myro said politely.

"You're right, I'm the same!", said the 4th prince who increasingly appreciated Myro, Myro's words just now meant that he was worried about the outcome of this war that was the same as him.

"Do you think we can win this time?" said the 4th prince confidently.

Luin who was not far away immediately stepped forward "The prince need not worry, after today then the flag of Azeroth Kingdom will flutter in Trock Fort!".

"I didn't ask you", the rich 4th prince rolled his eyes "I asked Myro".

Myro looked towards the 6000 troops who already looked a bit like the troops should, then towards Ren who was behind him.

"I'm sure the troops this time will suffer another defeat" Myro said without hesitation.

Everyone was shocked by Myro's words, they all felt that this time they would win so they did not understand why Myro thought that they would lose again. Among everyone, only Limo was surprised in a different way, he was surprised because Limo never thought that Myro could really see the outcome of this war. As a great general of the Kingdom of Azeroth, Limo knew that the 4th prince must have lost again this time, but according to his grandfather's direction, Limo must not help the 4th prince in the least.

When Luin was about to explode in anger, he could not get angry because the troops had already started to attack.

"All the troops attack! Revenge for the death of our comrade a few days ago!", shouted a soldier who was appointed the leader of these 6000 men.

This time Jerat did not dare to choose his confidant as the leader of these rookies, so he only chose an elite soldier of Azeroth Kingdom that he was not too familiar with.

"Light!", cried the soldiers excitedly, then they rushed forward to attack Trock Fortress.

Seeing that the troops were already advancing, Luin simply stared at Myro with hatred before observing the attacking soldiers. According to him, he does not need to be angry now, when his troops win then it could be the best evidence to show that Myro was wrong.

The 4th Prince was silent, he did not believe that they would lose again, but he was not interested in making Myro too embarrassed as there was still Falka following Myro. Therefore, the 4th prince still had to defend Myro here.

The arrow flew back from the wall of Trock Fortress, after which it shot down 6000 troops of Azeroth Kingdom.

Different from before, this time the troops continued to advance towards Trock Fortress even though some of their comrades died, it seems that the 4 days of training is very useful.

The Trock Fortress troops shot 2 more times before the Azeroth Kingdom troops were able to put the stairs on the fort wall.

After the stairs were laid, the soldiers ascended without hesitation to the top of the Trock Fortress.

Seeing that the Azeroth Kingdom army was already much better than yesterday, even they had started to climb up the city walls, Ritke did not panic at all.

He extended his hand forward while yelling "Don't panic, stop the enemy troops rising up the wall! If any enemy forces manage to climb up then kill them as soon as possible, then drop them back! As long as the enemy could not climb up the wall, they could not seize this Trock Fortress!".

The Trock Fortress soldiers began to take the prepared stones and hot water, after which they threw them towards the soldiers who tried to climb up the wall.

A bloody battle ensued, as long as the troops fell from the height of 10 meters of this fortress wall, they were most likely dead or broken bones. No matter what, it must be fatal.

In the end some soldiers managed to climb the walls of the fortress, but there were many soldiers of the Kingdom of Azeroth who died while trying to climb due to being thrown by large stones and hot water.

Upon learning that the troops had managed to climb up, the 4th prince started shouting happily "With this, it's only a matter of time before we can win!".

However, whenever an army successfully rises above the enemy wall, it often means victory is near.

But the smile on the prince's face froze when he discovered that every time the Azeroth Kingdom army managed to ascend, dozens of spears greeted him who instantly killed the soldier.

Then the body of the soldier was thrown back down, after all the troops of Azeroth Kingdom can only go up in turn, this caused each newly-ranked army to be ready to receive dozens of enemy spears that were already waiting for them.

Therefore, in the end the troops still failed to seize the walls of the Trock Fortress.
