Bab 879: Death Was Near

"The king has requested the presence of all royals within the palace."

--Silence--

.

Has the time finally come?

Ulrich quickly passed a message to his guard to rally his men within the city.

Of course, someone else will also send word to those outside.

If the messenger left, then it would take about 7 more hours on horseback before his men outside arrived in the city.

But was he worried? Nope.

Why? Because he had 3/10th of his men inside the city already.

So they can hold back any troublemakers until the rest arrive.

All this time, he knew that Winston had men outside as well.

But if both sides engaged earlier, then they might just end up losing way more men, allowing people like his uncles, other brothers and sister to take advantage of the situation.

Nonetheless, he ensured that he double the number of men Winston had.

He had 33,000 men hidden outside, while an additional 11,000 were here.
