"House of Deraber?" King Solas thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Are you the grandson of Old Kent?" Is your grandfather okay? ”

"No, Your Majesty, I am the great-grandson of the Earl of Kent, my great-grandfather is still in good health, just now he heard the news of martial law in the whole city, and asked the non-commissioned officer in charge of the order to find out the news of the attack of the orcs, so he gathered all the members of the boy army, selected those who could barely go to battle, and ordered me to bring them here to see what Lord De Jong could send us to do."

"Great-grandson? Oh, 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. ”

At the order of His Majesty the King, 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 to the bottom of the city wall.

"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.

The young Saiyang felt a little regretful in his heart, and a little despised - could it be that because his group was young, he couldn't go to the battlefield? However, since it is an 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. And don't you kill yourself?

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. Having taught himself swordsmanship when he was younger, this famous member of Fort Riptide was not at home after retirement, not only as a member of his military advisory corps, but also responsible for training Fort Riptide to be a reserve army of school-age boys.

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

But unlike the war of the orcs, although these teenagers are usually militarized, the teachings of old Kent can be trusted. But they hadn't grown up enough to deal with the orcs at this time, and they couldn't be allowed to participate in the defense of the city until the moment of extreme danger - these were the hopes for the future of Riptide Castle, if the younger generation was lost. Then even if you hold Fort Riptide. 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.

"Kurbanke, what do you think? These orcs who came out of nowhere, did not attack, but camped under the city, what exactly are they waiting for? 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. Standing beside His Majesty the King, he calmly analyzed.

"Waiting for Danas? Do you think this is possible? But the orcs ...... Will we really know about this kind of process for our military deployment? King Solas had a similar speculation. But he never believed that the stupid orcs would make such a long-term plan.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, you have underestimated these green-skinned crumbs." As he spoke, Kurbanke stole a glance at the side of King Soras's face, and saw that His Majesty was not angered by his words, so he continued with confidence.

"Our generals have been fighting in this land for many years, but just before these orcs appeared in Riptide Castle, we thought that our military deployment at this time was impregnable, 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 these military topics with great eloquence.

"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 received my call for help, and he will definitely return to the aid regardless of the situation, and when he reaches the city of Rapids, 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 do not appear to be hindered, at least not within sight of Fort Riptide; I was a little glad before, but now that I think about it, there may not be no possibility 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 army has always been known for his steadiness, even if he cares about your safety, he 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.

"Greedy?" King Solas asked puzzled—and after listening to Kurbanke's comfort, he let go of his worries a little—that his nephew was still very reassuring, believing that he would not fall so lightly 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? (To be continued......)
