The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 13 - REPLYING TO ATTACKS

A middle-aged man, a long-bearded brownish blonde, and long-haired, looked pensively outside the balcony above the royal castle.

Both of his hands were folded behind his body, a sword with luxurious carvings attached to his waist.

“ Excuse the General there are those who want to see you “ a soldier disperse the daydream of General Hars.

“ Who?” general Hars asked, looking over.

“ General Hars, sorry to interrupt, may I have a word? “ General Luzen steps closer to General Hars.

“ Who are you?” Ask General Hars in surprise.

“ I Lui, slave prison guard “

‘ What's wrong with me ?” General Hars again saw the view of the city below with colored lights in the royal settlement and did not look at General Luzen.

“ I just want to give advice to overcome the attack of pirates “

“ What kind of advice would you like to talk to me about? “ General Luzen steps next to General Hars.

“ The bandits are indeed strong, their equipment is also complete, although their number is not as much as the troops in the kingdom, but that does not mean they have no weaknesses. They are aggressive and can also be sloppy.

So in order to overcome aggressive, strong, few and careless enemies, we must trap them into a trap. With a large number of troops, we can win with the correct strategy General “.

“ You said you were just a prison guard, right? “ General Hars turned to General Luzen.

“ Yes Right “

“ I am the General who leads the army, I know more about the strategy of fighting. They are very bar-barous and strong, even if we besiege, our defensive blockade will be broken and messy “

“ Then let them attack the palace, wouldn't it be more free to defend in the fortress, also easier to attack?” General Luzen.

“ Yes it is true, but too risky “

“ Then, how can they be dispelled tomorrow? “ General Luzen looks at General Hars seriously.

“ Maybe we just give them the will, then let them go, done.”

“ Do you not know the character of the pirates General? They won't just leave even if they get what they want “

“ Do you also know their character? Are you sure they won't leave?, you're just prison guard Lui.” General Hars folded his arms around his chest.

“ Alright, well, you are indeed the General here.I say to the General.” General Luzen sighed and left General Hars.

...**********...

The next morning, the weather was sunny and cool, but no one noticed it because in the East Gozan kingdom people were frightened by pirates who had definitely entered the palace.

All the soldiers of the royal army were ready on all sides of the castle gates.

General Hars and several tens of soldiers prepared before the main gate, with a king among them.

Pirate troops came with their fighting equipment, they looked rogue, brass and bar-bar.

When the two camps had faced off, the King offered negotiations, whatever their will.

The leader of the pirates advanced before the King, his eyes sharp, his hair long braided behind.

“ So how many coins do you want? “ asks the King to the leader of the pirates.

“ We want ten thousand gold coins, five thousand silver coins, one jewelry chest, some women and slaves, the request is not too difficult for you right, your majesty? “ the pirate leader smiled lightly, lightly asking for the loot.

“ I can hand you coins and jewelry, but if women and slaves, you can just look elsewhere. Aren't coins and jewelry enough? “ King explained

“ I ask you, after we surrender your will, please do not disturb our kingdom again, and quickly leave Gozan, I ask that tonight you have gone “ Firm King.

“ Emm...well, your majesty.” the pirate leader slightly bowed his head, and signaled his men to come forward to take the crates that would be handed to them.

The government handed over some crates to the pirates. They took him and left.

The king, General Hars, the Queen who was already on the balcony of the castle and all the soldiers were still in his position to see the pirate troops passed towards the beach with some crates.

General Luzen saw from a distance on the side of the hill where he was monitoring yesterday. He could see the pirates laughing in satisfaction and cheering towards his tents.

At nightfall, the night sky was not as bright as yesterday, this time dim and somewhat cold.

From a distance one or two points of light can be seen walking towards the kingdom.

It turned out that when the point of light began to be seen, then he was more and more.it was a torch that the pirates used at night to attack the kingdom.

The pirates with the full armament were sneaking towards the castle gate. They spread out in all directions.

Suddenly several arrows shot right in front of them, leaving some of them dumbstruck and silent on his face.

But nothing about the pirates. The bandits were shocked to get an attack they had not expected.

The castle gate was wide open, it turned out that inside it was ready soldiers who were forming crab formations, with the royal elite troops in front making a large arch like crab claws.

Behind the right and left hulls were reinforced with more troops, inside the formation were prepared several large-bodied men with axes and swords who were none other than the prisoners in the prison whom the General had temporarily asked to help, he said, also some of the knights rode the kingdom and in the midst of them was General Luzen.

The pirates who saw the defense formation were confused, but they were still desperate to attack, the pirates broke through the formation blockade designed by General Luzen, but the more the bandits attacked, the more, more victims on their side.

Eventually, as the defense of General Luzen and the elite soldiers of the kingdom were also aided by the prisoners, they began to attack the pirates.

At the very front facing the bandits were the prisoners and General Luzen.

The pirates who fell heavily and were unable to resist the strength of their opponents, eventually retreated, but from behind, the royal soldiers with long spears confronted them.

The pirates were surrounded, and they were captured for execution.

The day before,

When General Luzen fails to convince General Hars to lead an army to repel in the event of an attack by the pirates, he ends up meeting the King and Queen in his place.

General Luzen assures the King and Queen that the pirates will definitely return to attack the kingdom.

The general requested that he be allowed to lead the army, just for one night, because General Hars was not willing to lead the army.

At first the King doubted General Luzen, having never met General Luzen before, but the Queen convinced the King, and asked the King to give him a chance, because it also concerned the safety of his own kingdom.

Finally, the King was forced to allow the prison guards to lead the army, but General Luzen asked on condition and a request.

His request was that he ask the prisoners to help him, because the General already knew, the strength of one prisoner under the prison was equivalent to two or three soldiers of the kingdom.

The general also asked the royal elite troops and mounted knights to be in his army.

The King shook his head at General Luzen's request, but again the Queen assured the King that it would not hurt to give the pirates a chance to eradicate, rather than their kingdom becoming a threat.

The general put forward two conditions if he and the troops he led managed to defeat the pirates.

The first condition was that he asked the King and Queen to release all the slaves or prisoners who participated in the battle later, and the second condition he would inform him when he had succeeded in capturing the pirates.

The King and Queen heavily granted General Luzen's terms, which remained a prison guard.
