The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 20 - ATTACK ON THE FORTRESS

Tomorrow, in the kingdom of Hazmut.

The prince stood by his throne seat with his hands folded in his chest, where King Ell and the Queen were advising their son.

“ What the fuck are you, igniting the flames of war. I have never made trouble with anyone who has not messed up this kingdom!, but your attitude has gone beyond the limit!.

Just bring back the female healer! Do you want to marry her?!” King Ell looked furious at the behavior of his only son.

“ I just want to get what I want dad. I did not ignite the flames of war.those who were too stupid to come here” the prince defended himself.

“ Do you want to marry her my son? Wouldn't you rather marry a princess from another kingdom or a noblewoman? He's just a commoner son.” The Queen also gave him advice.

“ I have no intention of marrying her mother, I just want to have her, does not mean I have to marry her.”.

“ So you're just messing with him?” ask the King back. The man was silent and looked upset.

“ Listen!, I have no reason to start a war. Do you want to fight just because of a woman?!. Make peace with the team that was yesterday, and return the female healer!“ The king ordered his son with a fury.

The prince left his father and mother. He looks upset.

Inside the prince's room that was locked from the outside, Merlin's eyes were puffy, and still left a clear grain in the corner of his eyes.

He hugged his feet on the bed. I didn't expect it to end up in a place like that.

Yesterday the prince had slapped Merlin when he tried to escape from the room, and kept shouting the name of the General.

He finally fell asleep because he was tired of crying. Her plump, white body in a white silk dress chime pink given by the prince, and silver-colored hair draped on the pillow. What a beautiful creature.

When the prince entered his room, and saw Merlin fall asleep with a slight bend hugging a part of his leg.

He approached her, looking for a moment, how beautiful and perfect the girl before him, like a little fairy who was asleep.

He regretted slapping him yesterday. The prince sat on the edge of the bed, on the elegance of Merlin's shiny silver hair, he just wanted the girl to remain in his room even though the prince did nothing to her ,

because he had also promised Merlin not to do anything beyond his limits, when yesterday Merlin threatened to kill himself if the prince did something beyond his limits.

Suddenly Merlin awoke from his sleep, and found the prince touching his hair. Merlin was shocked and moved away. “ Hey, no need to fear.

Sorry I slapped you yesterday, I didn't mean to hurt you.” the prince said rather gently.

Merlin did not speak, he only shriveled in fear at the side of the bed.

The prince smiled at the sight. “ I like a girl like you.you're like a little bird facing a wild predator” the man smiled with the corner of his lips, then got up from sitting down.

Tomorrow I will attack the fortress of your man who yesterday came to pick you up.Darlingly, but after I cleaned them up then there was no more disturbance for me.

The prince started to climb into the bed. Merlin widened his eyes.. “ Please don't bother me..” Merlin looked terrified.

“ Shhht.., I did not hurt you, I just want to be with you.” The prince stroked Merlin's hair and then kissed her forehead.

The resigned Merlin only hid behind his folded knees.

In the main hall of the kingdom, the prince hurriedly ran a little towards his father.

He conveyed from the information of the soldier sent yesterday, that the fortress that Merlin and the troops occupied yesterday was the village of the former Harbirt clan, which means that it was still within the territory of the Hazmut kingdom,

so the prince had reason to attack the fortress to expel the settlers who took the Hazmut kingdom.

But the King claimed that the region was no longer recognized by the kingdom.

But the Prince insisted on attacking the fort and expelling the inhabitants who lived there.

Prince Zaimon himself will lead the army, accompanied by Captain Fedrik and the royal elites, tomorrow morning will be ready to attack the fortress of General Luzen.

On the same day, the general prepared all the equipment for battle.

The war horses have been prepared.

The general saw the big black horse he was touching, he recalled when Merlin gave the horse as a gift for him and Merlin deliberately saved from his labors selling drugs only to buy an expensive horse that would be loved to the General.

“There's a come.!!” a tower guard shouted from the top of the lookout tower.

“ One Person General “.

“ Let in” Someone in Hazmut warrior uniform comes to see the General.

“ Aren't you the Hazmut warrior who was here the other day?” The general asked when the man had entered the fortress.

“ Yes sir, but my intention is to help.” The general and his army threw one another a glance.

“ What is your arrival mean?”

“ I want to inform you that Hazmut warriors will attack your fortress, tomorrow afternoon.

Please prepare sir. Then the matter of the healer lady who was brought to the kingdom, you should be quick to help her, she was treated unfavorably by the prince.

The prince seemed to like it, but the prince did have a rough character. The healer's miss is now locked up in prince”'s room.

“ In room?” The general repeated a bit angry.

“ The goddamn prince is looking to die.” The general was furious to hear the soldier's explanation.

“ Why did you tell us about this, isn't it dangerous for you?” Gardden asked him.

“ I just don't like to attack innocent people, it just keeps bothering me, maybe this is my way of defending the right side”

“ Good, thanks for the information you provided. I really appreciate it “ replied the General.

The soldier left with his horse.

The general ordered his troops to prepare with the defensive power of the fort.

Tomorrow morning, tomorrow,

In the vicinity of the fort has been installed some equipment and defense preparations Beteng and all have been ready with their war equipment.

The archers were lined up on top of the fort and the tower.

Oris the woman the general released the other day joined the archery squad.

Suddenly the screams of the guards in the lookout tower made everyone prepare for their respective positions.

From a distance, prince Zaimon riding a white horse was in the middle of an army of eight hundred invantri soldiers (walking with a spear) and several cavalry troops (riding ).

" Prince, aren't we bringing too few troops?" General Fredrik who was beside Prince Zaimon saw the situation.

" Don't I told you yesterday, to attack a fortress this small doesn't need to deploy too many soldiers".

" Just order them to come forward" the prince ordered.

Six hundred people walked to the front of the fortress gate.

Then one who seemed to be the king's superior announced that the war to begin was an expulsion of the inhabitants in the fortress because they had been in the territory of the kingdom of Hazmut without permission.

After sounding the cue for the attack, then about four hundred royal soldiers stepped closer to the fortress.

A large wooden trunk-sized tree was smashed into the gate of Drake's fortress.

They continued to break through the gate violently, needing some strong men holding the wood.

The other soldiers tried to climb the fort walls with stairs.

They put a high ladder on the side of the fortress wall, and then the soldiers climbed it.

But not until they reached half the stairs, they were showered with black oil and burning straw from the top of the fort.

Both the troops on the ground and those under it tried to evade.

Similarly, Hazmut troops in front of the gate, they have not managed to break through the gate, they actually got an attack from above.
