"Uncle, prepare the defenses. I want every able-bodied man to prepare for battle."
"As you wish, Your Majesty" Asher replied
"General Magnus, make sure all the women and children are safe, escort them to the throne room and barricade the door."
"Yes, Your Highness"
"Your dismissed!" Ethan said
"William!" Ethan shouted for the old butler, the old man came into the room in a hurry and awaited his orders. "Is there any armor that I can use?"
"Your Majesty, you can't!" William shouted visibly shocked, "Your Majesty is the only bloodline of the royal family left and your highness isn't even a late-stage trainee."
"I don't even know if we can survive this ordeal. I would rather go out honoring my parents than wait for death behind the walls." Ethan said stoically.
William was unable to refute and could only sigh, 'A tigers cub still is a tigers cub no matter how weak' he thought. "Very well, your majesty. The previous king had a second set of armor that he rarely used."
"Good! Prepare. You may go,"
After William left Ethan's face changed at a visible rate. 'Not even a f*cking starter pack, no powerful summon, not even a proper weapon and I have to fight an army almost twice mine." He thought.
"What a load of sh*t. I'll be lucky to even survive 5 minutes in war. This sh*t system!"
'What can I do, I haven't even had a girlfriend and I am going to die already. This can't be happening. No, I must do something, something'.
Ethan thought of every possible way he could win this battle, or to be more precise, survive it. When he thought about the soldiers and power stages. Knights go from stage 1 to stage 10, but trainees only have early, mid and late-stage realms. Trainees can't become knights without breathing techniques. So, they train their bodies.
'That means fire could still work!' Ethan realized. Ethan rushed outside to the courtyard and called for the 3rd general called Rowan. "I want you to collect all the possible wheat and spread it in the field about 70 meters away from the wall. Tell the soldiers to get fire cauldrons on the wall and ready the archers. When they are in shooting distance shoot fire arrows at the wheat fields. Hurry, go!''
''Uncle Asher!'' Ethan called out. Ethan was about to call out once more when he felt the wind brush past him, and he found Asher standing in front of him. 'How fast he thought. "Uncle I need you to disguise yourself as a normal soldier. When the time is right, I want you to finish the 3 generals in as little as possible time, can Uncle do that?"
"If I can get close without them noticing I am 100% confident in killing 2 of those generals in one strike, but I am afraid the stage 3 knight will be trickier to deal with."
"If you can kill the 2 generals general Magnus and Rowan can deal with him together. All I want you to do is stall Orion then till we can finish off the army."
Asher looked confused upon the young king but still without hesitation answered. "As you command"
