We must turn the tide in this battle!
Meanwhile.
Duncan was already leading his army toward the Dorset region, as he had received some troubling military news this morning.
Jill hurriedly arrived with his men overnight and reported in a panic, "Lord Duncan!"
"It's not good."
"Yesterday, the Duke of Dingtiger led his troops to fight against the Saxon pirates. In an attempt to flank the enemy, the Duke led his cavalry in a rear assault but was hit several times by Saxon archers!"
"Fortunately, the royal knights risked their lives to cover him and returned safely, but he is now gravely injured and bedridden."
What on earth?
Just a few days ago, he was doing well and even reclaimed some territory. How did he end up like this today?
Duncan quickly rose and asked, "Is the Duke of Dingtiger okay?"
Let's hope he doesn't die suddenly; at least hold on until I gain my footing!
Jill, with a complicated expression, said, "Gravely injured."
