Chapter 12 Part2 (2/2)

But the capital could not send all their troops in order to have it defended.

The biggest reasonable number they could send out was two thousand.

This level of combat strength could be seen as excessive, but against an organized army of orcs, they would most likely have considerable damage.

[We should organize an army as quickly as possible to destroy the orcs!]

One of the n.o.bles said. The others then gave their input.

[Indeed. However, there are many mysterious points about the orcs’ movements. We should investigate again as to why they are organized.]

[More importantly, we don’t have enough troops. We should request reinforcements from the neighboring countries to be safe.]

[And let the other countries see our weakness? Although the orcs have numbers, it would be fine if we recruit adventurers to subjugate them.]

[That’s unreasonable. They are an army of a thousand orcs, equivalent to a human army. We must send out our entire army to settle this.]

[That is a crazy thing! Are you trying to leave the capital defenseless!]

[Then why not add the recruited adventurers to our soldiers?]

[Then how are we going to command the adventurers?]

A single opinion starting from one person led to a whole series of comments flying at each other. However, there was no sight of their views settling down.

[Silence—]

One word from Wilfred instantly settled the hot debate in the hall.

[Lilburn—]

[Yes!]

[Recruit the adventurers with urgency and have them form an army together with two thousand soldiers to subjugate the orcs.]

[Yes, your majesty!]

Rafael bowed his head deeply and exited the audience hall.

There was still a touch of uneasiness with an army of only two thousand.

The safety net would be how many adventurers they could recruit, but he could not show his anxiety on his face.

The king’s orders were already drawn into a conclusion.

His job as a knight only allowed him to execute his mission.

He started running in order to accomplish it.
