Chapter VIII Border Emergency

There were knights to open the way, and Murphy's carriage only took half an hour to reach the council hall, and it is true that the road construction of the royal capital is already very good in the country, but the road is still very bumpy.

Before the stop could be secured, Murphy opened the door and jumped out of the carriage, following the knight to the door of the council hall.

Handing over his sword at the door of the council chamber, Murphy followed the knight's instructions and hurried to the area where the noble council was located.

Pushing open the door of the noble council, the representatives of the various families in the council hall sat in various areas clearly, facing the king who was in the first place.

Seeing the fourth prince push the door in, all the representatives of the nobility turned their heads to look at him in unison, while the eldest prince Karlens motioned for Murphy to sit beside him.

Truth be told, it feels unpleasant to be stared at by a large group of powerful spellcasters and warriors, even if there is no hostility in those gazes.

"Everyone is here, Murphy, find a place to sit, the Council of Nobles will begin at once. Seeing Murphy rush in, King Sorens Sellers nodded at him.

After Murphy had saluted the king, he sat down next to Karlens at his beckoning.

"The fourth brother has been studying magic very hard lately, and today is going to take the mage license?" Karlens asked with a slight smile at Murphy.

"Yes, Brother Wang, I just got my apprentice mage certificate and first-class mage license today. Murphy replied with a smile.

"Then it seems that the fourth brother has been practicing magic for two months, how much brains does it take to learn that thing? It is better to listen to me learn swordsmanship together, so that you can go into battle and kill the enemy. Karlens pursed his lips, still disdainful of magic.

"How can I, with my little arms and legs, compare with you, Brother Wang? Even if I go to the battlefield, I am abused material. But then again, Brother Wang is now a third-level warrior, right?" Murphy complimented.

"To be exact, it's the pinnacle of the third level, and it's only one chance to be promoted to a fourth-level warrior. Karlens said flatly, as if he were talking about the steak he had for lunch today, but Murphy knew that he was pretending.

On the mainland, there are two ways for fighters to advance, one is the regular fighting spirit assessment, and the other is by military exploits.

If you want to reach the standard of a fourth-level warrior, you need to kill at least 100 enemy troops on the battlefield! This is a kind of bravery that ordinary people do not have.

Not to mention the ferocity of the mountaintop orcs, who are hostile to the kingdom, the complex environment on the battlefield alone can take a person's life at any time.

"Brother Wang is brave and fierce, and the fourth-level warrior is naturally not a problem. Suppressing the exclamation in his heart, Murphy said respectfully.

Karlens smiled slightly, as if not taking Murphy's compliment to heart.

.......

"Silence, please, the Council of Nobles is now convening!" shouted one of the chamberlains at the King's signal.

The nobles below straightened up and sat upright in their chairs, and in an instant, the conversation of the entire council hall was silent, so quiet that even a pin could be heard on the ground.

"Ministers, and my children, the emergency meeting of the Council of Nobles has interrupted your rest, but you must not complain. The king paused with the scepter in his hand. "Because the people of the southern realm of the kingdom are living in dire straits!"

"The Flame Bear Clan of the Highland Orcs suddenly gathered troops to attack the Ruthelan Fortress, because the Rustran Fortress had just repelled the attack of the Bronze Eagle Clan, and the defenders in the fortress were replenishing when it was attacked, so it was short of manpower, and it was unable to support the attack of the Flame Bear Clan, so it could only rely on the city wall to wait for reinforcements. ”

As soon as the king said this, the nobles in the audience immediately exploded.

"What?!!The Flame Bear Clan actually went to war against us?"

"Haven't they been at odds with the Bronze Eagle Clan, why did they suddenly attack us?"

"The Flame Bear Clan must have planned it a long time ago, just staring at the people of the Ruthran Fortress when they are sleepy and tired. ”

The king glanced around the nobles who were discussing fiercely, the scepter in his hand paused on the ground, and an inscription of order appeared in the air, and soon, the nobles stopped discussing and looked at the words that appeared on the inscription of order in midair.

That was the Duke of Rutherland's distress letter:

Your Majesty!

Forgive me for not having time to catch up with you, the Flame Bear Clan shamelessly attacked Fort Russelland, which was devastating for Fort Russelland, which had just ended its war with the Bronze Eagle Clan.

There were only 700 warriors and 30 mages left in the fortress, which was nothing compared to the more than 50,000 soldiers of the Yanxiong Clan, not to mention that there were five evil beasts the size of a hill in the army of the Yanxiong Clan.

The retainer had moved all the civilians in the fortress to the relative safety of Fury City, where they were placed in the Norman duke's place.

And the minister, who will lead the guards of Russelland and the warriors who dare to fight to the end, swear to live and die with the fortress!

Reading between the lines, it all shows how critical Fort Russelland is at the moment.

"The Norman Duke has already begun to assemble troops, but Fury Wind City can only muster a maximum of about two thousand knights, which is far from enough for the large army of the Flame Bear Clan. The king sighed.

"The safety of Fort Rutherland is at stake for the entire South, and the kingdom is unable to send extra troops to support it at this time.

"So I hope that the gentlemen will send troops on behalf of the royal family to support Fort Rutherland. ”

The king's tone was sincere, and the danger in the south could not be delayed.

"Your Majesty, the Lowell family is willing to send two thousand knights and fifteen third-level mages to support Fort Rutherland, and I am willing to lead the team myself. As soon as the king finished speaking, a duke stepped forward.

"The House of Aldington is willing to send troops south to the aid of Fort Rutherland. "Someone takes the lead, and someone follows suit.

After a while, six of the nine major families of Lorraine were willing to send troops to support the Fortress of Rutherland, plus the army in the fortress itself, the troops of the Norman duke, and the fortress's twenty-five-meter-high walls, finally had the strength to fight against the Flame Bear Clan.

"Father, my son is willing to lead a hundred iron-scaled knights of the headquarters to support Fort Rutherland. At this moment, the eldest prince beside Murphy stood up and offered to go to the battlefield.

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the field looked at this place with surprise on their faces.

"Yes! worthy of my son, the pride of the royal family. The king laughed, Kellens representing the royal family will definitely bring a great boost to the morale of the front.

"Then the matter is settled, with Duke Lowell leading the team, Kylens Sellers and the Iron Scale Knight as the vanguard, and the six major families jointly sending troops, it must be enough to defeat the uncivilized barbarians. The king stood up, put his scepter on the ground, and said in a loud voice.

"I give you three days to gather the people of the headquarters, and in three days, the border portal will be opened, and the Earl of Rutherland, who is fighting the front line, will save the people from fire and water!"

"Also, there's one more thing. The King lowered his head and stared at Murphy, and the people around him followed the King's gaze.

"It's about Hamlos Fort in the north. ”
