As Captain Rick was speaking about the events happened during his coma Edward was becoming angry abut it but Rick and other captains were both ashamed and angry about there inability to help their king in time of need and also had to have their king to beg enemy commander to let the people go.
Seeing that Captain Rick had stopped speaking Captain Fred started continue saying about the situation for past few days. Captain Fred wasn't tall as Rick he was about 175 cm and he was thin, and he was bald. But had always smiling face.
Captain Fred: [ After that king started preparing for the invasion, as enemy army had about 100,000 soldiers and we only had 10,000. On the first day although we were able to defend the walls and even didn't suffer any casualties but we did suffer my serious injuries about 2000 men were seriously injured and weren't able to join the fight next day, seeing the situation themselves the rest of the citizens took arms themselves and started to defend the walls with the rest of the soldiers, for next few days the defending went on and casualties also increased although people helped in defending since they didn't have any kind of training it became hard for us to defend. Seeing this king himself started to defend the walls. Although the casualty rate of the enemies were more than us but Prince Jon didn't let us rest and took advantages of the numbers and started building pressure on our soldiers .
As our casualties started building up the pressure got more. We had about 5000 soldiers and people died defending the walls but the enemy casualty was about 8000, like this Prince Jon attacked everyday without giving us rest time even at the night. This way the situation for past few days. Yesterday our causality was about 6000, and enemy casualty was about 10,000, although it is easy to defend the walls and is hard to attack the walls, if the current situations goes on like this then before we could defeat the enemy army our army will be exhausted and we will be defeated, and they Prince Jon may keep his promise of massacring the whole kingdom. ] Fred said in grave expression as his ever smiling face had disappeared long time ago.
Listening to all that happened for past few days Edward was both angry and sad about the helpless situation the kingdom was in. He became even more sad after hearing about the death rate of the people and soldiers defending the kingdom walls. After some time Edward Sighed and got up from his seat, seeing that all other members too got up, After that Edward said in low, firm and angry voice but every one there were able hear it, and they were able to sense the huge amount of determination in it.
Edward: [ Well i will be able to delay the invasion for half a month, and after that i will let those bastards pay the price for killing the people of Newgate Kingdom. ] After that he again sighed and said
Edward: [ During these days i will be able to get some food for the winter, and medicines for the injured and well also able to power up the people and soldiers do that they can defend the kingdom well, and i will change the shape of the whole kingdom so that it will be even more easy to defend and will be more hard to attack. I will also be able to get help for us to defend. After that i will build a place (mausoleum) for all the heroes who died defending the kingdom, and i will let there name be engraved on the walls of mausoleum so that the future generation can remember their greater deed and sacrifice they did for they kingdom. ]
Listening what Edward had said, everyone present were shocked and started crying because there was never been a tradition where people and soldiers who had died defending the kingdom have buried in mausoleum and have there name engraved for the future generations to see it. Margaret and Merlin came forward and hugged Edward and started crying and laughing.
