Blood Elf Monarch



A few hours ago, back in Caerleon City…

With the aid of the Caerleon City defense system that has been improved by the people sent by Tristan before, Uriel, the fat elf, was informed about someone trying to enter the city by force. The detection machine and radar let out a resounding alarm that pierced his ears.

Wooong!

Wooong!

"What happened, Sir Uriel?" a human warrior who was in the room quickly slammed the door open after hearing the alarm.

Just like that warrior, Uriel was shocked when he heard the alarm noises.

Right now, the Caerleon City guard tower was lively. The people in charge of Caerleon City's security, including those who were currently off duty, all went to the main hall of the guard tower.

As the one given the responsibility to maintain one of the cities in Arcadia, of course Uriel reached the main hall first and waited for the others to come. Within seconds after he arrived, the door swung open, and many people flooded in.

"What happened?" Commander Galzef asked. He already wore his armor, as he was on duty of guarding the Security Department when the alarm resounded.

"The barbarians are attacking from the direction of the Chaotic Plains, and they brought a lot of forces with them. It looked like they were trying to flood the horizon," Uriel activated the state of the art computer on the room. It looked like a circular table.

On the computer screen, the barbarians have all gathered. As far as the eyes could see, there was an endless sea of barbarians running across the plains complete with their flags. From the camera footage, there were at least seven different flags.

"How many soldiers do we have right now?" Uriel stared at the leaders of Caerleon City guards with eyes full of hope. Sweat was already running down his back and face.

Commander Galzef, the one in charge of training the guardians of Caerleon City spoke and told Uriel of their current strength, complete with what weapons they have managed to develop since Tristan led them and introduced a much better technology.

[Residents: 4320]

[Guards: 1510]

[Adventurer: 185]

They have learned from the past war, and as such, half of the residents of Caerleon City have all been given some training in combat in preparation for this war to happen.

In other words, in Caerleon City, they have around 3000 combat ready soldiers to fight the barbarians. Meanwhile, the weapons they possess, created with the aid of the wood elves, could only be given to half of them.

None of them expected the barbarians to attack again this quickly. Not to mention, this time they came with a massive force.

"But, we still have orcs," Commander Galzef added, marking the end of his explanation.

Uriel did another quick count of the forces Caerleon City could muster, and compared it to the rough number of barbarians who came to storm the city.

Yet again, he was sure, their forces was not enough.

Not to mention the fact that due to a lack of weapons, more than 50 percent of the forces they could muster has to fight the barbarians with ordinary mining tools.

Thinking about it only made Uriel suffer a headache. He took out the long distance communication tool he has to contact the king, Tristan. However, try as he might, Uriel was unable to get a hold of Tristan.

This is certainly a difficult situation. He has to do something right now, and he has to be quick. Otherwise, both him and the Caerleon City will meet their end.

"Galzef, ready the troops! Invite everyone to fight, we have to stall for time. Gather the soldiers you could muster at the gate."

"Alright, I will talk to the orcs."

With that, the meeting between the higher ups was adjourned. Uriel quickly stormed out of the room in search of the two people who were not present and order them to talk to the orcs. He was unsure that he could convince the orcs by himself.

The two people who could help him are the fire witch and the barbarian fighter strong enough to convince the orcs – Herrera and Astrid.

On the way, Uriel met them. It seems they were in a hurry to go to the guard tower.

"What happened?" Herrera seemed confused. Uriel gave her a quick breakdown of what happened, including what is happening right now.

With that, they quickly rushed to the orcs' residence. They did not expect to see the orcs have all gathered. Their noisy cries could be heard all over Caerleon City.

CHIWIK!

Before Uriel managed to pass the news about the barbarians' attack, Karra have gathered the orcs' warchief. The three has no idea what they were celebrating. Did they already hear about the barbarians' attack?

"Elf! Human!" the orcs who saw Uriel, Herrera, and Astrid shouted with an annoyed expression.

Karra, the female orc Tristan have trusted to help manage the Blood Warrior tribe in his absence, turned around to see who had come.

"Karra, what happened?" Uriel asked with a slightly awkward expression to the orc woman. Despite the fact that she's a woman, she possesses a massive body along with skin harder than rocks. Of course Uriel doesn't want to run afoul of such a strong woman.

"Nothing, we were just celebrating."

Uriel tilted his head in confusion, but that was not important. He needed to pass the news to Karra, as she was the only orc who could understand his language. He quickly relayed that the barbarians were marching from the direction of Chaotic Plains.

Karra proceeded to translate the information given by Uriel.

"Guk Tar! My orc warriors! We will fight soon. This fat elf has told me that the barbarians are coming in a few minutes!"

CHIWIK!

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The orcs all shouted louder than before, as if the news of the attack was something worth celebrating. After all, they were creatures who live and die for wars.

"Guk Tar! Karra! Will Chief Golug come and fight with us today?" the high orc warchief, Gundal, asked.

Once again, Karra asked to Uriel. Meanwhile, the orcs were already celebrating wildly, as they were stomping their feet in the tune of a war drum. The ground they stood on even started to shake.

Herrera and Astrid both got closer to Uriel. It was to be expected, as the two has no idea whether the orcs would still fight for them even without Tristan here.

"I don't know, but we don't have time to chat now, we must hurry. Can you direct them to the main gate of Caerleon City?" Uriel shouted with a loud voice, because there was no way to silence all the exciting orcs.

"First, can you tell me how many of you are ready to fight?"
