"Yes, if the orc commander is a greedy fellow, then he can take Riptide while preparing to stop Prince Danas. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And in fact, judging from the behavior of the trolls just now, I think this is a big possibility. Kurbanke voiced his concerns.

King Solas was silent, Kurbanke was his childhood playmate and the person he trusted most besides his relatives. This loyal chamberlain is a rare talent, from military affairs to martial arts, from literature and history to art, there seems to be nothing he is not proficient in.

Kurbanke had always been his adviser on how to govern the country and how to fight wars, so after he said such an idea, King Solas chose to believe it, albeit somewhat sensational.

"So...... When will they attack?" asked King Solas.

"I don't know yet, but Prince Danas will have at least five hours to set off immediately after receiving the griffon's summons, so the orcs have plenty of time to attack Riptide Castle. And we, the soldiers, were stirred up by the trolls' actions, but this fighting spirit could not last long, and I believe that this was the intention of the orc commanders - when we were mentally slackened, they would attack. Kurbanke's face was bitter - he could guess the orc commander's plan, but what was the use? it was not a conspiracy, but a dignified siege to send reinforcements.

"Deadend?" King Solas let out a wry smile, the orcs fell from the sky and made all plans empty talk, now think about it, it's really ironic, not long ago, several high-ranking members of the alliance also ambitiously wanted to launch a general attack on the orcs this winter, but in the blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed, the strongest military strength of the kingdom of Stormgard was besieged by the orcs layer by layer, and was about to fall, and all the elite forces of the kingdom in the hands of Danas were about to face the attack of the orc army alone, if Danas's army suffered heavy casualties in the field battle with the orc legion, then the Arathi Heights would fall into the occupation of these green-skinned fragments。

"No, Your Majesty, it's not a dead end, at least not for you. As soon as those griffon messengers return, you can leave with them and go to Prince Danas's army, and as long as you are alive, Riptide will fall and Stormgard will not fall. Kurbanke said how to break the game.

"No, I'm not leaving. Once again, King Solas rejected the chamberlain's suggestion to let him leave on a griffin.

"Your Majesty!" Kurbanke was a little anxious, he raised his voice slightly, which was extremely rare for a cautious chamberlain, "even if you leave, we will do our best to hold the city, I know you are worried about the safety of the civilians in the city, but with all due respect, you are not here, it will not help the city defense......"

"I know, Kurbanke. King Solas turned his face sideways and smiled at his chamberlain, and there was an indescribable sadness in his voice, "However, there has never been a king in the Torbain family who has fled his own capital, and even if I die here, and Danas and Garin can continue the kingship of Stormgard, what should I worry about?"

"But......" Kurbanke was about to say something, but was interrupted by a wave of his Majesty's hand.

"Kurbanke, you know me. If it were His Majesty the Emperor, he wouldn't have escaped at such a time, would he?" said King Solas with a smile.

"Soladin the Great......" Kurbanke murmured - His Majesty admired the founding emperor of the Arathas Empire, who had a similar name to him, and held himself to the standards of Soladin the Great, and since His Majesty had mentioned Soladin the Great, it meant that he would not abandon the city and flee.

"Besides, Kurbanke, griffons are not necessarily safe, haven't you also read Terenus's letter, which says that the orcs have the help of the red dragon and also have air power; maybe the sudden appearance of these orcs is also inseparable from the red dragon! In that case, I'd rather die on the battlefield. King Solas said.

Kurbanke smiled wryly - even then, there was still a chance to leave in a griffon, and to stay in the city was almost a dead end, but now that His Majesty had made up his mind......

"I see, Your Majesty. In that case, I will fight by your side, and as long as we can hold out to the arrival of Prince Nas, Riptide and the civilians of the city will be saved. "Despite the slim hope, Kurbanke said the best possible outcome - the worst outcome is well known, but it is not the worst, and it is a good ending to be able to die by the side of His Majesty the King whom he has sworn allegiance.

King Solas didn't speak, but just patted Kurbanke on the shoulder - for this boyhood playmate, King Solas felt guilty - with Kurbanke's talents, he should have become a big man with real power like a marshal or a prime minister, but he was afraid of the king's loneliness and willfully kept him by his side, and even so, Kurbanke has always been loyal to his duty and has never complained. To be able to get the allegiance of such a subordinate, even the Emperor Soladin must envy himself in turn!

"Interesting to say, Your Majesty. The young master Saiyang just now was the one who had a quarrel with His Royal Highness Prince Christophe in the palace tonight. Kurbanke changed the subject, and before what could have been the last moment, he wished to liven up the atmosphere - it was the duty of the chief chamberlain to please the king.

"Oh, this kid has learned to fight in love, I don't know whose daughter is so attractive, even teenage children are crazy about her, haha!" King Solas was amusing to think about Saiyan's immature expression just now, pretending to be serious, I don't know what kind of funny behavior such a kid would do when competing with others for a female companion.

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, where did Christophe hide, and when he left the palace, I didn't seem to see him. After laughing, King Solas thought of his other nephew.

"I don't know. However, there are quite a few palace guards who know about the orc invasion, and perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Christophe also knows about it, with his character...... I don't think it's going to run around. Kurbanke replied.
