THE FIGHT TO BE KING

CHAPTER 263: RETREAT

Although Myro was a little strange to his father's answer, but he nodded and did not talk much anymore. However Myro had to focus all his attention on the battlefield map, there was no time to waste or the entire Myro army might be destroyed before he realized it.

Everyone also did not harbor any suspicions, after all the person who came was Myro's father, it was not strange for a father to worry about his son.

When everyone was busy discussing strategy on the map again, Myro's father often stared into the battlefield as if waiting for something.

Myro who was moving the pawn on the table accidentally dropped his pawn to the ground, someone approached Myro to pick up his pawn, but Myro waved "No need, I'll do it myself".

Seeing the movements of Myro who was trying to grab a pawn under the table, Myro's father's eyes became sharp.

Yorou who from earlier stood still while closing her eyes finally opened her eyes, she observed Myro's father sharply but did not take any action. Yorou's movements were so careful that no one noticed it except Ren and Myro, even Myro's own father was completely unaware of him being observed.

Ren on the other hand smiled, the game has started.

Without everyone noticing, an arrow was shot from the front of the tent.

The tent where the command center where Myro is located is made of leather, however, this is only a temporary command tent so there is no need to make it from troublesome stones. Especially when the war is over, the command tent here must be closed.

Therefore, a small hole in the command tent definitely did not attract everyone's attention.

They think that the tent may not be well maintained which causes a hole there, but many people do not know that the hole was formed by the enemy deliberately.

Suddenly an arrow was seen from the hole in the corner of the tent, because of its hidden location so many people did not realize it in the slightest.

The arrow shook slightly but pointed at Myro.

Not stopping there, just moments before the arrow shot, Myro's father moved along.

He drew his sword and rushed towards Myro, his movements too shocking that made everyone in the place completely unprepared.

Along with Myro's father running towards Myro with a sword, an arrow was fired.

Myro who had just stood up from picking up the pawn on the table was shocked to find his father who was carrying the sword towards him, moreover Myro was unaware of the crisis of the arrow behind him.

A short while later, blood fell on the tent and there was the sound of screaming that made the surrounding guards start running as fast as possible towards Myro's tent.

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

In the middle of the battlefield, Retya leads his troops to kill all the enemies that exist until his entire body is red due to the blood of his enemy.

Every time the enemy troops meet Retya, they run away in fear because Retya's name as a bloody demon has been known to the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom. It was unknown, how many dead Orcs and Goblins were in his hands.

Retya raised his head to observe the Victory Troop that was repelling the enemy further and further away "If it continues like this, it is only a matter of time before we manage to win!".

A confident smile appeared on Retya's face, he continued to observe around trying to find Guliger. However Guliger was the main general of the enemy, as long as he died then all wars would end.

But Retya's face immediately changed when he heard the sound of the drum because he knew what it meant: the whole army retreated.

"What's going on? Why did you decide to withdraw when victory was in sight?", although Retya did not understand Myro's decision, Ren along with other strategists, but he followed suit.

After all for Retya, Myro was the leader he followed. If Myro decides he must die on the battlefield though, Retya will not hesitate.

Therefore, Retya shouted towards the surrounding Victory Troops "All the troops are regrouping, we will retreat! Do not get separated because the enemy can kill you more easily! Everyone join up and then back off slowly!".

Like Retya, Herfu became doubtful over Myro's decision to step down.

But he saw the Victory Army begin to move backwards, so Herfu told his troops to start retreating as well.

The Orc-Goblin army was confused to find Myro's army retreating, but if they attacked any longer, they would have won.

Then why did they retreat? Whether the enemy is trying to deceive them or there is an important reason to make them have to retreat.

Different from his bewildered army, Guliger's shining eyes found the movement of Myro's troops.

It seems that everything went according to plan, Luca managed to convince the Aras Family to kill Myro.

In addition, based on a letter from Luca yesterday, his mother and the family of his mother agreed to help Luca kill Myro.

Although the Luca Mother Family was only a small noble in the Northern Province, but they were still nobles which made them able to give Luca some resources and some help in order to successfully kill Myro.

Without any hesitation, Guliger decided to have his troops withdraw as well.

Why didn't Guliger make the decision to go forward against the Myro troops who were trying to escape? The reason is that Myro troops are indeed moving backwards, but they are not panicking at all but moving backward carefully so that the enemy can not attack or pursue them. As long as there were enemies trying to chase after them, it would definitely be killed.

Therefore, let them all rest for a few days until the news of Myro's death or injury spreads.

Guliger was convinced that as long as news of Myro's predicament spread, chaos would ensue in Myro's forces.

As long as his army was already in disarray, Guliger was able to search for more traitors in Myro's army or attack them directly.

When a team becomes disorganized due to the loss of their leader, generally the strength of the troops will decrease even though they are an elite team, the, so the casualties in the Orc-Goblin army would be reduced a lot if they killed the Myro troops who were in chaos. There was even a chance that Myro's army that became disorganized would flee when attacked because of the news of Myro being dead or at best heavily injured.

Myro's earliest war against the Orc-Goblin Kingdom ended while making so many question marks in people's minds, why did the war end so quickly? Especially Myro who was about to win, why did he decide to make his army retreat instead of continuing to advance to finish the war?

In this battle, Myro lost about 1000 troops while the enemy lost more than 20,000 people, of which 15,000 were Goblin residents while 5000 others were Goblin and Orc troops.

The reason for the large number of casualties on the enemy side is that they bring in residents who cannot fight, more than half of the casualties on the enemy's side came from the Orc-Goblin Kingdom residents who showed how ruthless Guliger was to win.
