Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 368: Preparing for Battle

[Donald’s Perspective]

Little Lisa tried hard to regulate her breathing, clutching the hem of my clothes, her fingers tightened as she sobbed in a hoarse voice, "I’m sorry, I don’t know what time it was! I only remember hearing a few strokes of the bell..."

"The others... everyone except the leader, Brother Louis, is dead! After that group attacked us, they quickly brought us to this place. They didn’t ask any questions, they just shot the other Lycan brothers, wuu wuu wuu! They’re so terrifying, they’re like a bunch of demons!"

"Cough cough cough! You... you must avenge everyone, you must catch all those bad guys..." Lisa spoke slowly then closed her eyes, her little face smeared with tears and grime, looking very wretched.

"She she she, is she okay? Did she fall asleep?" Gino was startled and stuttered out the question.

I took a deep breath and looking at Lisa’s face, I said, "She’s alright, just exhausted and asleep."

After saying that, I stood up and faced the direction of the dock, silently pondering.

The information Lisa brought us was very useful, the most important being the confirmation of Margaret’s situation, my Margaret, who at least was not in any mortal danger!

Levi and Henry had gone to great lengths to abduct her and would certainly not miss this excellent opportunity to threaten me, so until I received their demands, Margaret wouldn’t be in any real danger.

That was, provided they didn’t know Margaret was pregnant now. If they found out, the child’s situation could be even more dangerous than Margaret’s!

Would a rebel alliance agree to leave the progeny of the monarch they rebelled against? It’s unthinkable.

So rescuing Margaret can’t be delayed at all, attacking Poison Snake Island is imperative!

The morning sea breeze was cool, but I didn’t feel cold at all, I just felt more awake and rational than ever.

"What are you thinking about, Donald? What are we going to do next?"

Perhaps I had been silent too long, Gino walked over to stand alongside me, looking at me with some concern as he asked.

"This time they kidnapped Margaret and Berton’s children, and killed so many of my Lycans, it seems like they are declaring all-out war on me! Berton’s previous attitude was a bit ambiguous, but after tonight, I could give him a little push."

I said and let out a cold laugh, tapping the handle of the handgun with my fingertip, and continued speaking, "Lisa is so badly injured, and Brand’s situation is unclear after being captured, even if Berton was hesitant before, he can’t stand it anymore, right? They’ve gone too far this time."

"You’re not wrong in your analysis, just a bit disgusting in your wording," Gino commented quietly, his eyes turning colder as he went on, "Let’s go back first; we’re just waiting for Elliot to return with the news."

I nodded and turned towards the vehicles hidden behind the trees, Gino also took a deep breath and followed, taking long strides.

Lilo Sea has always just been calm on the surface, while treacherous tides churned beneath with various powers fishing in murky waters. I hadn’t been able to clean up this ’thorn in my side’ before, but now it was time for it to recognize who its real master was.

Henry and Levi both wanted to take advantage of the special situation here to grow and expand, and I absolutely couldn’t tolerate it — I don’t stand for sand in my eyes!

Them kidnapping Margaret was a provocation in my eyes, and those who dare to provoke me usually don’t end well.

After returning to Gino’s Black Sand Bay, I instructed Benjamin to treat Lisa’s injuries immediately. Since we had already used the Recovery Potion on her, Benjamin simply checked her wounds thoroughly and bandaged some that hadn’t yet healed well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

By the time he had finished, daylight was upon us, and a new day had officially begun.

"Your Majesty, the troops you previously ordered have all been fully equipped, and the heavy machinery camp led by Charlie can also arrive by this afternoon. In addition, Lord Simpson and Dean Andrew will also be coming," Benjamin reported to me respectfully, bowing his head formally.

Upon hearing this, I stopped what I was doing, and without lifting my head, I asked, "Dean Andrew is coming to be in charge of backup and rescue operations, but what’s Simpson doing in Lilo Sea? Is the Elders’ Council up to some new trick?"

Benjamin of course knew what I was asking about. He took a folder from his subordinate and explained as he handed it to me, "The news of the Empress Dowager’s disappearance somehow leaked. Lord Simpson is coming because of that. I’ve already sent a letter in advance to explain to him, but he didn’t accept it, saying he wants to come and see the situation for himself and help you with the search for the Empress Dowager."

I glanced at the paper reply on the desk and snorted wordlessly, "These old fellows always have some plan in mind, claiming to lighten my burden, but in reality, they are coming to put pressure on me."
