"Yes, His Majesty." De Jong regained his composure at King Soras's rebuke, and he remained on one knee, but his tone became much more fluent, "The enemy is from the southwest of Riptide Castle, and the watchtower there was the first to spot the enemy, and I assume that the guards there must have been killed, but fortunately they gave the signal at the last moment. The number of the enemy is not yet known, but before I came to see His Majesty, I had ordered the gates 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 conscripted into reserve for the purpose of defending the city, and I had also ordered the conscription of women and boys over the age of twelve to report in the center of the city and use them 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. ”

"However, Your Majesty the King......" De Jong raised his head, wanting to argue something--the requisition of women and children was a helpless move, but now the garrison in Riptide Fort was not enough, and this 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? Shouldn't His Majesty the King leave Riptide Castle quickly at this time? He...... But De Jong didn't say much, since His Majesty the King let himself go in this tone. That means you have to leave.

De Jong bowed to King Soras, then stood up and turned to leave the king's bedroom. Soon. The sound of hurried footsteps as when he came rang out again in the corridor, and faded 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 Rapids, and he knew, even the majestic king. At this time, my heart was also full of fear - no one wants to be the second Ryan? Ureon.

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

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

Albeit out of his own understanding of Soras. Kurbanke didn't think he would escape from Fort Riptide, but that didn't mean he wouldn't give him an idea in that regard, and Solas refused as he expected: "No, Fort Riptide is the 'city that never falls', at least as long as I'm alive." ”

"Yes, His 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. The soldiers in the city alone could ......"

"Then we don't have to rely on women and children, we fight. It's to keep them safe, and if they join the fight, 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 who is there, and let him go to Dalaran as my messenger, and ask the Council of Kenrito to send some battle mages to support the defense of Danas on the Sadol Bridge." 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? He sent him to Dalaran, not to mention the fact that Fort Rapids was under siege...... Could it be that even His Majesty the King himself had no confidence in defending 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. Finally, his gaze was no longer confused, and His Majesty picked up the knife and fork on his plate again—come on, after eating 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.
