Chapter 154 Last Day 3 (2/2)
”Remember, your first task was to evacuate the villagers away from the villages and maintain the order in the village.” The fourth prince remind the other royal troops.
Just as scheduled, 10 minutes later, the royal troops spread to their designated village and help to defense. The fourth prince company also went to one of the village, the village where Auron was there.
---------------------------------------------
Although, they race fast to the village, it still took a lot of time to arrive at the village. When the fourth prince arrived at the village, it was already evening.
Meanwhile, at the village, all of the officer and the student, as well as the noble's guard were shocked to find that the fourth prince came personally to their place. All of them immediately stopped what they were doing and knelled down and greeted, ”Greeting, Your Highness!”
The fourth prince gave them permission to stand, then he immediately called up all of the officer in charge to the tent. Meanwhile, the mood in the village became better with the fourth prince's presence.
Inside the tent, the fourth prince asked the situation in the village to the officer, ”What's the situation here?”
”We was in dire state. Our side had lost many student from our original number. This gave huge pressure to the student. Moreover, at the last battle, we had lost more student and guards. Right now, we only had less than 80 students, 3 officers, 4 soldiers, and less than 40 guards.”
”However, the students had low spirit. Meanwhile, the 40 guards only cared about their young master and it hinders a lot. Fortunately, Your Highness come to this place. It lifted up the mood here and I believed the guards would not dare to defy Your Highness' orders.”
”With that said, please punish us for our incompetency!”
”No need, you have done what you can. Now, I will take command here. During this time, what the enemy's movement?”
”We dare not to track too far from the village, so we can only know what is happening around the village. During this time, the enemies launched several mini scale attack. However, no casualties on either side. It was like they were waiting for the right time to attack also to probe our strength.”
”However, I also believe that they knew we were waiting for reinforcements. So, what made me confused was why they didn't attack us before the reinforcement came instead waited until the reinforcement come.” Officer Molke explained their situation.
”It is indeed strange. However, we could not take that to deep since soon or later we will know the answer.”
”Now, my first order was to evacuate the villager farther from the village. I intended to make the village as the battlefield.”
”Second, after the first order executed, gather all of the student and the guards”
