Chapter 2237 Operation Dreaded Winter -Part 25

the human generals and leaders of various teams were struggling to keep up with the defence against the goblins but it seems like they were managing pretty well considering the numbers that they have.

while they internally mourned the death of their comrades who had decidedly put their lives down to be on the frontlines, there was nothing else that they could do but to continue to put faith that they could hold onto as long as they could.

in the meantime, the various generals had petitioned the king of ends to at the very least start evacuating the citizens out of the city. "there is no place for your people to die unnecessarily." one of the generals said through a magic communication crystal as the battle rages on at the front gates. "i honestly suggest that you start moving them through the northern tunnels and into the ends forest towards ress."

"i agreed to it too. the tunnels are not as far as we expected despite our best to dig at the moment's notice but they should give some safe distance away from the current fighting." another general commented.

"you are telling the people of ends to flee? that is equivalent to deserting!" another general argued, apparently still ignorantly blissed not knowing about the situation at the outer walls because he was stationed within the inner walls.nôv(el)b\\jnn

"the walls might not even hold till the night. we wil-"

"you guys will hold. we are the elites of the elites from various southern kingdom alliance." the haughty general said and soon, everyone who was within the chat focused their attention, only to remember that this was a brand new general from trin. they recalled that he had been winning accolades after accolades in battle and through nepotism that he got his current position.

in fact, even this particular expedition was meant to showcase his prowess but everyone knew that trin's king was merely doing this to satisfy his relative's whims. therefore, most of the generals took caution and put him in the inner most portion of the city so that he does not screw up the defence plan that the 'real' generals had cooked.

"king of ress, we beseeched your assistance for the matter that you had warned us previously." the king felt that his heart was trembling as he talked to jin.

"not happening," jin replied with a straight face. "you pointed your army at me for quite a long time. i am not going to-"

"no. i am not asking you for help with the demon horde. i am asking if you are able to protect my helpless citizens in evacuation to your side of the kingdom as a refuge?"

"why should i? what is there to gain from such an endeavour?" jin asked, now with his hands folded.

"please, i implore you for such a matter. you have experience in battling the demons more than us and from what i heard from my scouts is that you are able to keep them at bay. the military and i would stay behind to buy as much time for our citizens. that is all i ask for. i will get a military escort to send you crates full of gold as a reward."

"and for what use? the southern kingdom alliance had been destroyed by the demons, what use do i have with your gold? i have my own currency and do not even require those useless coins of yours." jin retorted and it looked like the king of ends needed to put out something more valuable to catch ress's attention.

unfortunately, there was nothing that could be of use or help to ress when they had everything under the sun. so, the only thing the king of ends could do was to swallow whatever remaining pride he had and place his head on the ground to plead for help.

"i beg you." that were the only three words that came out of his mouth with much difficulty.
