"House of Deraber?" said King Solas after a moment's thought, then smiled as he asked, "Are you the grandson of old Kent, and is your grandfather okay?"

"No, Your Majesty, I am the great-grandson of the Earl of Kent, my great-grandfather is in good health, and he has just heard the news of martial law in the whole city, and he has asked the sergeant in charge of the order from the sergeant in charge of the orc attack, so he has gathered all the members of the boy army, and selected those who are barely able to go to battle, and ordered me to bring them here to see what Lord De Jong can send us to do. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Great-grandson? yes...... Old Kent is old enough to be a great-grandfather......" King Solas sighed, then looked at Seyan with a communding gaze and said, "You're brave, Seyan, but the orcs haven't attacked yet, so let's see, De Jong, see what kind of work you can do to carry supplies, and get these lads to do it...... Remember, don't let them go up the walls until the moment of crisis. ”

Having received orders from His Majesty, De Jong, who was scurrying like a headless fly, finally stopped pacing, came to the half-sized boys, and motioned for them to follow him under the walls.

"Your Majesty, we ......" Saiyan hesitated and wanted to say something, but was pulled by his companion beside him, closed his mouth a little reluctantly, and obediently followed De Jong and left.

Young Saiyan felt a little regretful in his heart, and a little despised - could it be that because he was too young to go to war, he could not go to battle? But since it was the order of His Majesty the King...... There is no way to do that, if the great-grandfather knows that he dares to talk back to His Majesty the King, then he won't kill himself?

Seeing these young men who had come to reinforce him, King Soras's face showed a hint of brightness - Old Kent, the great-grandfather of Saiyan, had taught himself swordsmanship when he was young, and this famous military figure in Fort Riptide had not been at home at ease after retirement, not only as a member of his military advisory group, but also as a member of the reserve army composed of school-age boys in Fort Riptide.

The last order to De Jong is that King Solas is naturally for the good of these children. Of course, he could guess what Seyan was trying to say, and his unconvinced expression had already revealed his thoughts—he was once young, and he knew how alive a heart that wanted to prove that he had grown up.

But the war with the orcs is different, although these teenagers are usually trained in militarization, and the teachings of old Kent are also trustworthy, but they have not grown up to deal with the orcs at this time, and they naturally can't let them participate in the defense of the city until the moment of extreme danger - these are the hopes for the future of Riptide Castle, if the younger generation is lost, then even if they defend Riptide Castle, what's the point?

Turning his gaze back to the army of orcs in the distance, who had apparently been encamped, King Solas's face was again gloomy at the sight of the young man's blood—the unusual actions of these orcs raised a deep concern in his heart.

"What do you think, Kurbanke, what are these orcs waiting for nowhere, who have not attacked, but are camping under the city?" King Solas asked his chamberlain in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I think they are waiting for Prince Danas. Kurbanke's body and King Solas staggered half a step back, stood beside His Majesty the King, and calmly analyzed.

"Wait for Danas? Do you think it's possible, too? But the orcs ...... Would you really know this level of our military deployment?" King Solas had had similar speculations, but he never believed that the stupid orcs would make such a long-term deployment.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, you have underestimated these green-skinned crumbs. Kurbanke said as he stole a glance at King Solas's face, and seeing that His Majesty was not provoked by his words, he continued with confidence.

"Our generals have been fighting in this land for years, but even before these orcs appeared at Riptide Castle, we thought that our military deployment was impregnable at this time, and it was impossible for the orcs to break through Prince Danas's defenses. "Kurbanke does not seem to be merely a chamberlain who serves the court's daily life, but he talks about military matters as well.

"Now that the facts are in front of us, we have to admit that we know far less about these adversaries, and even about the terrain of the Arathi Heights, at least, until now, I can't figure out how they got to this continent. But I'm at least certain that they probably know the weaknesses of our defenses better than we do, which means they can't be unaware of where Prince Danas is. Kurbanke concluded his arguments.

"So...... This is where things get a little tricky. Danas has received a signal from me for help, and will definitely return to the aid at all costs, and when he reaches the city of Riptide, he will find that he is facing tens of thousands of well-recharged orcs...... In this relatively gentle area, Danas's army ...... "King Solas felt that the consequences were unimaginable."

If only all the griffons had been sent—thought King Soras. Fearing that he would be intercepted by the orc's air power mentioned in King Terenus's letter, the Red Dragon, he sent all the griffon messengers extensively, hoping that even if they were intercepted by the Red Dragon, one or two griffons could escape.

However, these messengers did not seem to be stopped, at least not within sight of Riptide Castle, and I was a little glad before, but now that I think about it, it may not be possible that the orcs will deliberately let these messengers go!

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Prince Danas. Seeing King Soras's face, Kurbanke comforted, "His Royal Highness the Prince has been fighting for many years, and his soldiers have always been known for their steadiness, even if they are concerned about your safety, they will not rush forward and run into the orc brigade head-on. ”

Kurbanke was still very relieved about Prince Danas's use of troops, but what really worried him was ...... "Your Majesty, what worries me the most is that the commander of these orcs may be a greedy guy. Kurbanke had a worried look on his face.

"Greed?" asked King Solas puzzled—and he relieved a little of his worries after listening to Kurbanke's reassurance—that his nephew was still reassuring that he would not fall so easily into the enemy's plan to encircle and send reinforcements. The soldiers under Danas are the absolute elite of Riptide Castle, and the number of them far exceeds these orcs, and under the command of Danas, as long as it is not a sudden encounter, it should not be defeated in the confrontation. In this way, what is there to worry about Kurbanke?
