Before he was crowned king II

Fern Salfield stood in a daze in front of the sand table, waiting for the results from the battlefield ahead.

Her Majesty the Queen probably already knew that he was not imprisoned in the Gray Tower, and he was a little uneasy.

Although many people have surrounded him over the years, saying that Her Majesty lacks the courage and decisiveness unique to men, only he can become the well-deserved and respected ruler of "Glory Saint Via".

But no one knew that he was very timid in front of his mother who was the queen, and he was always worried that he would do something wrong again, and he would be reprimanded seriously and dissatisfied.

He knew very well that he was not the child his mother was most proud of.

"Has anyone been sent from the palace?" Prince Fern walked out of the bunker.

"No, Your Highness, no one has been here." The soldiers guarding outside replied emphatically.

"Haven't they completely controlled the situation in the slave farm?" Fern walked back to the bunker, pacing around the sand table, feeling agitated.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but there's no news from the front." The city guard officer spoke cautiously, "Those sub-orcs are probably fighting stubbornly."

"How many people are there? Since they were able to attack quietly under the gray wall, it means that their number is pitifully small."

Fern looked at the encirclement map simulated on the sand table, "For these annoying fleas, we summoned magicians and spent so much time."

"It's because the sub-orcs are too cunning, and their mobility and endurance far exceed ours."

"It's all an excuse. Even if you win in the end, it doesn't deserve to be praised." Fern lowered his head, and he suddenly regretted it. If he knew it was such a small disturbance, he should have listened to Carlie.

He is doing this now, and I am afraid that he still cannot restore his evaluation in his mother's heart.

what to do?Will he really be forgotten in the Gray Tower for the rest of his life?

In a trance, Fern suddenly remembered the plan to coerce the palace that an old nobleman had demonstrated to him before the incident of privately minting gold coins.

Has he reached the time of "last resort" now?

At this moment, the thunder roared loudly, and the branch-like lightning flashed through the window, and Fern's vision suddenly became bright white.Without any warning, the first rain of spring just arrived.

"What a bad premonition." Fern's face turned pale, he was definitely not a person with enough courage.

Just thinking about some things is enough to make him tremble all over.

Outside the gray wall, the slave field.

"The captain said that before he sends out the attack signal, everyone must guard this building to resist the next attack of the search team." Hua De walked towards his companions with a heavy face.

"Resist the attack? Aren't we going to retreat?" someone asked.

"That's what Kaysen ordered before he left," Ward said.

"Team...where did he go? At this time." Warner suddenly raised his head.

"I don't know, he didn't tell me." Hua De shook his head, "Next, I will deploy the next battle arrangement. Lily Lan, you take the other people to the relatively safe upstairs room first..."

Warner sat alone in a corner by the wall, his back still aching even now.

That selfish guy leaving now wouldn't mean abandoning them and running away by himself.

Out of the resentment towards the man in his heart that had not dissipated, he almost blurted out such excessive words just now.

As a result, when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't speak in the end.

Warner thought, it's a good thing he didn't say it, if he did, not only Linglan would never talk to him again, but everyone present and even himself wouldn't believe it.

"Warner..." His brother walked up to him.

"What am I going to do?" Warner stood up, "Captain..."

"No one can replace you, Kaisen. I'm only serving as the captain temporarily." Hua De said, "You are in charge of the window on the north side of the second floor."

"Understood..." Warner held the gun and walked towards the stairs.

"Warner..." Hua De stopped his younger brother, "Don't blame Kaisen, he is the captain, and he has more things to worry about than us."

"I don't blame him, I just don't want to admit my powerlessness." Warner's head drooped slowly, "If even he can't find a way to have both, then what else can I do? This feeling is too bad."

"I think you can trust him a little more. Like right now, we haven't abandoned anyone."

Ward walked up and patted Warner on the shoulder, "He is the captain, and he is also Kaisen. He has never let us down."

"He told you, he will be back." Warner asked in a low voice.

"Of course, I believe he will come back." Hua De lowered his eyes and said something that he didn't know the truth.

"It's raining..." Sean raised his head, and the rain gathered into a stream, flowing down from the transparent dome.

The outcome of a battle will be influenced by various factors.Rainy weather will reduce the visibility of the naked eye, will cover up some smells, and will also increase the difficulty of action for both parties.

Similarly, under such weather conditions, Sean was no longer unable to use the college's observer and continued to observe the status quo near the gray wall.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The storm bought precious time for the orcs trapped in the slave field, but for Kaisen, the next task he had to complete would become extremely difficult.

"I'm ready here." Kaisen's deep voice came over.

"Are you sure you can leave them there? There will be many changes here, and it's possible that they won't even be able to support you until you complete everything." Sean reminded again.

"Don't underestimate them." Kaisen said, "Even without me, the Scarlet Vanguard can stand alone."

"I hope so." Sean's voice paused slightly, and the topic changed, "Speaking of the mission, how much do you know about gray walls?"

"I'm very familiar with the terrain there." Kaisen was originally born in the imperial capital, and he often went in and out to observe it on weekdays, so he was very familiar with the tall gray wall.

"The gray wall in the wartime state has about eight layers of defense. More than 100 watchtowers, a gray smooth wall about forty yards high and partially attached iron spike barriers, steel repelling horses, ten yards of barbed wire, The trench, the soldiers guarding the city, the open space where footprints can be left, and four hidden bunkers." Sean narrated according to the memory picture in his mind.

"I knew I was going to break through before the rain stopped," Kaisen said.

"Time is tight. If you can hold your breath in the water for more than 10 minutes, you can dive into the Rio Grande and pass under the wall." Shine said, "This way you can cross the four lines of defense in one go."

"Ten minutes is no problem, at least you don't have to climb the forty-yard-high iron spike wall with your bare hands." Kaisen couldn't help exhaling, as if comforting himself.

"Their bunker is suspended in the air, thirty yards above the ground. The passages to enter are all inside the wall, and there will be a large number of soldiers guarding it." Sean paused, "The only way..."

"Understood, climb up with bare hands." Kaisen put on the hood, held the dagger behind his back and walked into the rain, "You tell me, and I will do it."

"It's surprising that you trust me so much," Sean whispered.

"I'm also very surprised. Although there is no choice, but now I have put my life in your hands."
