"Yes, Your Majesty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 "De Jong gradually regained his composure under King Soras's rebuke, he still knelt on one knee, but his tone became much more fluent, "The enemy is from the southwest of Rapids, where the watchtower was the first to spot the enemy, and I assume that the guards there must have been killed, but luckily they gave the signal at the last moment. The number of the enemy could not yet be ascertained, but before I came to my majesty I had ordered the gates of the city to be closed, martial law to be placed in the city, and all adult men over the age of sixteen in the city to be called up in reserve for the purpose of defending the city, and I had also ordered that women and boys over the age of twelve be sent to the center of the city to report and be used as convoys. Half of the palace guards have climbed the walls and taken over the defenses......"

"Enough, you're doing a good job." King Solas interrupted De Jong with a wave of his hand, and then said, "However, there is no need to lift the requisition of women and children. ”

"But, Your ......Majesty," De Jong looked up, trying to argue something—the requisition of women and children was a desperate move, but now that the garrison in Riptide Fort was seriously insufficient, it was also a helpless move!

"There's nothing to do, alright, Captain De Jong, you can leave, the guards on the walls will be left to you, and I still have some things to deal with." King Solas waved his hand, signaling for De Jong to step down.

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment - there was something to deal with? Isn't it right that His Majesty should leave Riptide Castle quickly at this time? He...... But De Jong didn't say much, since His Majesty let himself leave in this tone, it meant that he had to leave.

De Jong bowed to King Soras, then stood up and turned to leave the king's bedroom. Soon, the sound of footsteps as hurried as when he came rang out again in the corridor, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

In the room, King Solas sat back in his soft chair, his expression as usual, and he couldn't see any change; But Kurbanke knew the master of Riptide Castle well, and he knew that even the majestic king was now filled with fear—no one wanted to be the second Ryan Wrynn.

"Kurbanke, order all the griffon messengers to leave Riptide in two. Half of them went west along the road from Fort Riptide to Southsea Town to find the troops of Terenus and Lothar, and the other half went east to Danas and told them the news that Fort Riptide was under siege by the orcs. After a brief silence, King Solas gave his first order.

"Your Majesty the Emperor." When there were no outsiders, Kurbanke's name for Solas reverted to a unique "code" between the two men, "Do you really want to send all the griffins?" If you leave Riptide Fort now on a griffin......"

Although Kurbanke didn't think he would escape from Riptide Castle out of his understanding of Solas, that didn't mean he wouldn't give advice in this regard, and Solas rejected it as he expected: "No, Riptide Castle is the 'Never-Falling' city, at least as long as I'm alive." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke nodded, and then asked, "Do you really want to lift the requisition order issued by De Jong?" If you want to hold Fort Riptide, you may be able to rely on the soldiers in the city alone ......"

"Then there is no need to rely on women and children, the reason why we fight is to protect their safety, if they join the fight, then what's the point of fighting?" King Solas refused.

"However, if you can't hold Riptide Castle, you will ...... after all," Kurbanke objected in a rare way, but was interrupted by King Solas waving his hand: "If that time comes, they will ask for more blessings for themselves." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke nodded, and was about to retreat, but when he reached the door of the room, he was stopped again by King Solas: "By the way, Kurbanke, send a griffon messenger to Dunhold Castle, tell Garin there, let him go to Dalaran as my messenger, and ask the Kenrito Council to send some battle mages to the Sador Bridge to support the defense of Danas." Remember, that's enough to say, you know what I mean? ”

"I understand, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kurbanke turned, bowed slightly, and left the room, closing the door with his hand—was this last order to keep Prince Garin away from Riptide Castle? Sent him to Dalaran without telling him that Fort Riptide was under siege...... Could it be that even His Majesty the King himself had no confidence in holding Fort Riptide?

In the closed room, Solas let out a long sigh of relief—everything that needed to be arranged was arranged, and the rest was left to the Light. From his knowledge of Terenus, he was a kind monarch, but he was by no means a man who liked to procrastinate, and while he was asked to enter the country, Lordaeron's army would not wait in the town of Southsea; Although it is not known how the orcs suddenly appeared outside the castle of Riptide, Danas has always been steady, and it is impossible for his defense line to be broken through by the orcs silently, so the orcs must have bypassed him...... Although the garrison of Riptide is insufficient now, it should be able to hold out for a while, as long as reinforcements from Lordaeron and Danas arrive in time, this battle will ...... There are still hits!

With the current situation racing in his mind, King Solas was also strengthening his confidence. At last, his gaze was no longer confused, and His Majesty picked up the knife and fork on his plate again—come on, after this supper, it's time to move your muscles!

In the middle of the night, at Fort Riptide, a neatly dressed soldier, with a gong in his hand, struck violently as he ran through the street, and their mournful cry pierced the night sky that should have been silent: "Emergency mobilization order! Emergency Mobilization Order! All the adult men take up arms and report in the city center, others stay at home and don't come out, repeat, all men take up arms and report in the city center, others stay at home and don't come out! Emergency Mobilization Order! Emergency Mobilization Order! ……”

Although it was impossible to hide the news of the orc soldiers coming to the city, De Jong was not stupid enough to spread the news at this time, causing chaos in the whole city. Even so, the residential areas of Riptide Castle, whether in the mansions of the nobles or in the houses of the commoners, are still full of chickens and dogs.

The men hurriedly dressed, and the women rubbed their sleepy eyes to hold the lamp for their husbands; The child was woken up and let out a whoow cry; And the shouts of the heralds who were still running back and forth made the Riptide Fort boil for a moment. By the light of the blue and white moon, the disheveled men dragged their long shadows towards the center of the city, and at this moment no one knew that the shadow of death was dancing over the city with a cruel smile.
