Chapter 205

John continued with a smile, "Okay, prepare to leave, It seems these guys really won't understand unless they face a big loss . We are going to ambush them today . Keep those guys and 100 men with ballistas over here to protect the camp . "

*****

Meanwhile, there was a hubbub in Dolores after they got various reports of the walls burning at the Mercenary Camp with the bodies of Mercenary Heads at the gates .

One of the guys came back and asked, "Did you hear about that North-Western camp?"

The peddler was confused as he asked, "Which camp?"

The guy spoke in a low tone, "The one that was recently made by Prince Hector and Baron Antonio . "

Peddler remembered that he was pushed away at the gates when he wanted to sell some items over there, "Ohh, Wasnt it off-limits to civilians? what happened there? Did they remove the restrictions? I am heading there immediately if that is the case . "

He smiled and spoke, "Nah, That whole Castle of the Border town is Burning currently . Many are thinking that some big battle happened over there . The Guards have only gone there to inspect right now . "

The Peddler was horrified as he heard about the burning Castle and thought, 'It's good that I wasn't there, who knows what would have happened to me . '

The Messenger who left early on had a letter with him as he immediately headed and rushed towards Antonio's office to report as he was stopped by guards, "It's bad, Lord needs to be informed immediately . There is a crisis . "

The guards asked with a suspicious look, "Do you have any permission or are you here just to make a ruckus?"

He handed over the token which was given to him and answered, "Ahh yes, Take this token I was given by my Superior if I was stopped anywhere . "

After looking at the Token and the messenger carefully he allowed him, "Ok, you can go . "

he thought, 'I wonder where he got this token of Prince Hector . '

Antonio was in good mood these days as he finally sorted out his problems with Duke Fjord while he was in the good books of Prince Hector .

He thought with a good mood, 'Tomorrow will be the last day for that count since Duke Norman too has agreed to send 50,000 troops with other lords at the borders . Lets see how long does that Count keeps his arrogance . '

Finally, the messenger was able to meet Antonio as he reported about the past situation when General Anak was about to invade the Mercenary Camp,

Baron Antonio smiled as he read about the letter which was written in the midst of battle, "Wow, that Count finally lost his pressure and attacked? I guess we will finally get some good news about the results of the battle since we delivered the Ballistas just today . With this, we also would have a legitimate reason to invade that count . Anyway's we need to send reinforcements in case something happens . "

Another Guard came in hurriedly and reported about the tragedy which took place at the Border Town of Dolores .

The Guard was in extreme panic as he hoarsely spoke, he was in total shock as he too lost his brother in that place, "Lord, Not a single person survived, not a single person . The situation is dire, we are totally unprotected, Milord . The heads of Jim and Prince Hector's Subordinate was on display at the southern gates of the town . It was all done by General, Anak . That guy butchered 35,000 men over there in a single day . "

Antonio furrowed his brows and spoke after listening to him, "Calm down and speak slowly . "

Antonio slowly heard the news as he was shocked by hearing the scale of the battle and the result .

"How is this possible, I don't believe it . "

Antonio thought that this guy was exaggerating and tried to re-confirm, "How did you confirm this news?"

The guard gave a letter and explained, "It was the Head of Glorious Explorers who gave this news to me . He ran away after handing it over . We too confirmed the situation first hand after visiting the camp where it was written in big characters in blood, "Done by General, Anak, The Everburning and his men . " . Here is a letter addressed to you by Joss . "

Only now did Antonio came to his senses after he read the letter and roared, "How the fuck is it possible? How can they have better Ballistas? That Bloody Barbarian general, He dares kill all the men belonging to Royal Family . Is he sick of his life? Come we are leaving for the camp . If that guy has really killed off everyone then the situation is grave, That bloody lunatic, this is completely different from the assumptions we did previously . This would be one of the biggest incident in the kingdom after the Fight between Duke Sapphire and Duke Fjord 3 years back, Damn it . Both of them are Lunatic, That General and the Count . It's good that he didn't decide to Invade Dolores or else the situation would have been so grave that Father would have been set free already . "

With a grave face, Antonio left with his men for the Mercenary camp where the massacre took place . Looking at the gossiping of people he understood that the Walls of the Camps were burning for a long time and everyone got to know about the dealings which took place over there .

Meanwhile, at the nearby villages, the news about Prince Hector's scheme at Greenwoods village was being spread to everyone .

"What? Really . "

"Shh . . . If you are intending to leave, then you have to try leaving via Duke Sapphire's domain as currently there is a big battle going on at the borders . However we can try to leave via the borders as well . "

****

Currently, Barbarians and Barrenmakers were nearing the Castle, after 4 bitter hours they were finally able to bring down the Walls as they lost 20,000 of their men just to close their distance . They were able to take 10 ballistas themselves which had reduced the barrage of their enemies . They were very near to invade the castle as they faced the mini-ballistas .

As soon as they prepared to invade the castle, they were greeted with Ballistas firing at their rear end . This was an ambush that John and his men led after finding a perfect spot at the hills nearby .

The Barbarians and Barrenmakers were finally met with a barrage of Ballistas which attacked them from the rear .

Arlen smiled as he got the signal from John, "Finally,"

Arlen smiled and ordered his subordinate with a cold tone devoid of any emotions, "Anyone that invades the Castle, Greet them with A5's and Kalashnikov's . Keep none of them alive . Use them with full force, no need for any mercy . Use the Mini-ballistas if you are targeting them outside of the castle . Miss Josephine is also on standby at the nearby castle, We can't let the reserves be used . "

The subordinate nodded and left to give the orders .

Wilkins roared as he heard an attack at his rear, "Damn who is attacking us now? Does he have a death wish?"

The subordinate answered, "Boss, It's from the hills in the west . "

Sandro remarked as he watched the attack, "It seems they have returned quite early . From the looks, I guess they didn't chase and attack the base . "

The Subordinate shook his head and answered, "No Sir, I can confirm from our scouts that there was a big battle taking place at the Mercenary camp near Dolores . "

Sandro nodded and understood, "Hmm . . . Now, this is confusing . If they ran away then I am sure that Jim wouldn't leave them alive and would have chased them here . Anyway, We can't stop and move back after so many gains . Who knows this might be a ploy by that Elf . Take control of that castle and then we will take care of these pests . Charge . "

John murmured as he saw that the Mercenaries had decided to ignore and sent only a few men against them, "Hmm . . . Defending seems much easier than Attacking . "

Arlen smiled as he saw the Barbarians rushing with full fervor and anger because of their experience in the Battlefield currently .

As soon as the Barbarians entered the Castle . They were greeted with Bullets that were used for the first time in the battle .

All the Barbarians were confused to find their mates falling one after another . Watching the current situation, they were shocked beyond belief .

"What the hell is this thin . . . . " The Barbarian spoke in horror before he fell under a bullet as he saw his mates falling one by one .
