In Raychester castle, the soldiers of different cities were arriving one after another, and the city was becoming crowded with only military personnels. Commander Benjamin was the last set that had just entered the city with his men, so they were now waiting for one group which was the group from Ironbrook where Eric had gone. King Luca was becoming worried because of their latest, they were supposed to have arrived there before now irrespective of the fact that the city's population was large, but that was not enough reason to keep them till that time, the city was closer to Raychester than Cliffsage, yet Zachary had arrived there with the Cliffsage armies long ago, in addition to this, the population of Cliffsage was also large. When Ben came to meet Zach, he said even before being asked anything. "I'm sorry sir, he refused to go with civilians into Hillcrest." Zachary understood who he was walking about even though no name was mentioned, so he took some time before saying, "He
At dusk on that same day, Prince Reece Cole who was with a division of soldiers still in the city of Raychester began to hear some noises coming from underneath the ground where they stood was shocked even though he knew of the tunnel in the city, but he was surprised because he wasn’t expecting anyone to know about the same tunnel, especially since the people in Warcton fortress had all moved to the Hillcrest as planned. So his mind went to think that the enemy had come to know about the tunnel and then had passed through it to come into the city of Raychester. He heads immediately for the mouth of the tunnel with the soldiers under his command while he sends some of his men to call for his father and the Generals. The soldiers with him were all prepared to fight whatever that would come out of the tunnel even though most of them believed it would be the orcs since the trolls and ogres were too big to walk under the tunnel. But still they had to wait until the creatures under the tu
It took the soldiers two days to march from Raychester to New griffin, and as they came before the city, they blew the horn of war so as to draw the enemies out of the city of New griffin, it was a wise decision which Eric gave by not allowing them to march into the city.At the sound of the war horn, the orcs even though they were quite ready for the human soldiers, they weren’t expecting it too soon as it had played out. But that was not a reason to make them act cowardly. Zagthak commanded the orcs on patrol which also happened to be the set ready and fully armed for anything to march out of the city to fight with the army of humans that had come against them.With the number of orcs that marched out of New griffin, King Luca Cole wore a cheerful smile because that was a number which could easily be handled by even half of the men they came with. If that was the case all these while, then they would never have had any challenge ending the long lasting battle. “Charge!!!” Luca screa
Just as the orcs had predicted, the battle was already lost even before it began. King Luca and his army dealt so hard with the orc army through the help of Eric and his magical powers which had grown so much beyond the expectation of the orcs and even the humans he was helping.After losing one a greater part of his army still without a sign of his leader showing up and yet no clue of him showing up soon, the commander in charge of the orc army had to sound the alarm for a retreat. He could not continue with the hopeless fight and was ready to face any punishment from Zagthak.“My lord, they are retreating, what do we do?” Ben asked General Morgan who was closest to him.The same question was asked to the King and also the elder Prince. Reece Cole. The soldiers were ready to act only according to the instruction of their leaders.King Luca looked around in observation of his men and he could sense the great energy in them, so he was not going to kill that energy by making a wrong stat
Zagthak after leaving his men in the war front to perish, he took a turn around the country and came to Riverston where the ogres had camped. The ogres came to the city of Riverston to drive out its inhabitants just as the orcs had done in Oldgriffin and Newgriffin, but the humans were already gone by the time they arrived so they knew the humans were up to something to have abandoned their lands like that.Zagthak had planned with the ogre leader to take out the city of Riverston while they took out Ironbrook and the two griffin cities as they did. Coming into the city of Riverston to see that the ogres had dominated the place, Zagthak thought they were successful in the overtaking of the city. On the side of the ogre leader, he knew something was wrong when the city was abandoned so seeing Zagthak come into the city alone without any escort, he could confirm what he had suspected when he came into the city. Nevertheless, he still waited to hear what Zagthak had to say before airing
Though Zagthak had acted tough and unaffected when Hillslayer announced his forfeiting from the fight, he began down immediately the ogres were gone out of sight. Everything in him felt weak, and he was a bit confused on what to do next in order to win the fight as he still meditated on what Hillslayer said before leaving. It took a while before he could regain his full self. Spending so long alone in the city of Riverston, he later got up at dusk, prepared himself and moved to the city of Northby where he would meet his other allies. The journey to Northby was quite slow since he moved alone, but he still got there anyways. The city was void of humans as expected, still he couldn’t predict that what Hillslayer told him about Riverston had also happened there in Northby. Zagthak made some awful noise which was a sound he used in announcing his presence to that set of allies. After the noise, there was still no response or sign to show that his allies were there as expected. So he ch
After the victory in the city of Newgriffin and Oldgriffin, though, the soldiers were still very agile to march to another city and retake it. They were ready to continue into another battle without resting, but King Luca was not going to allow that to happen. He ordered that they take some moments to rest so as to avoid fainting in the field when they go up against their enemies. While they observed the little rest as they also prepared to march out again at dawn to reclaim another city which their enemy had dominated, King Luca had to bring up the unfinished conversation which he was having with Eric before it was changed. “Eric, you still did not tell me why you seem unhappy after the fight.” “Of course I was happy.” Eric still chose to keep what was going through his mind to himself. “Come on Eric, I know it when you are hiding something and this is one of those times. Talk to me.” Luca kept persuading him. The moment Eric was about to open up to the King, Zach walked in.
Next Eric was sitting with Harris alone even as the soldiers got ready to march for the next city that would be retaken from the orcs. They were talking about a lot of things that were not pertaining to Eric’s departure and Harris had no reason to think of such. He just saw the sitting together as a casual thing because they were friends. Not until one of the soldiers came close and said to Eric Claus, “Sir, we are ready to move when you are ready sir.” “What of his Majesty?” Eric asked the soldier because the king should be the one to give the command on moving out and not him. “Your wish is his command. He is waiting for you.” “In that case, I will be with him shortly.” Eric answered and the soldier walked away to bring his response to King Luca Cole. With the message that was delivered by the soldier, Harris termed their discussion to have come to an end since they had other pressing matters to handle because the topic of their discussion wasn’t too important. So Harris got u
