It had been a few days since the kingdom decided to go to war against the rebels who took the Cantrell territory.
Duke Mason was collecting many troops to deal with them and minimize the harm which can happen to the empire.
There were 1200 troops under the control of Duke Mason, and 100 adventurers under the command of Ivan. Even though the adventurers were marching with the army toward the Cantrell territory, they were mostly taking it easy, unlike soldiers.
There were various kinds of troops in this army ranging from infantry, cavalry, archers, mages and scouts.
"Aren't they taking this too easy?"Mason questioned Ivan looking at all the adventures.
"Well, that's how they are don't mind, moreover tell me the information you found about them," Ivan was like an excited kid who is going to see, something new and refreshing.
"Nothing much, that Keller kid is more cunning than u thought, even the workers under him who were recruited by the kingdom, didn't know anything about him or the company,"
"I have a feeling, this fight isn't going to be an easy one," Mason said while looking at all the troops.
"Well, I hope it won't be an easy one," Ivan muttered in a silent voice which went unheard by the Mason.
Meanwhile, Velian was arranging his own troops to get ready for an attack. Velian got the news of the attack beforehand from a spy in the kingdom. Keller's firm had so much influence that even the underworld of the kingdom felt shaken when they left the capital.
At first, the people in the territory were terrified to know about the attack from the kingdom.
Even though my alliance soldiers had a superior mindset, the warriors from this territory felt hopeless to fight with the kingdom.
None of them knew about the weakening stage of the kingdom's military but still, they were scared of them.
It took a good couple of motivations from Delvi and Remi to pipe up the soldiers and our own alliance soldiers also helped most of them.
Surprisingly, except for a few people from the territory most of them got along with the beastkin people and they helped each other to get to the point of friendship.
"Do you want to lead this battle, sister?" I asked while looking at the all people who were assembled in the meeting.
"But, Veli, I think you are more suitable than me to lead our warriors to the battlefield," She didn't dislike leading people, it was just she wanted her brother to take the fame that war will bring.
"No, I'm acting alone, you guys know it's not my style to lead armies, Lyra has formed an excellent plan for us to encounter them"
"According to the information I got, they have at least 1000 soldiers consisting of different units and compared to that we have only 500 or 500, but don't worry,"
"With Lyra's plan and our skilful use of tactics, we will fully defeat them and show the power of us,"
The people have pumped up by Velian's speech and got the confidence to encounter the kingdom, even though they outnumber us.
Sariya and Mel will stay in the city and control the people here while others will go to the battlefield.
I didn't have any doubt about this war because I could single-handedly defeat half of their army by myself. Even though I haven't greatly increased my stats during these years, my face itself is superior to everyone here.
I wanted to use this war as training for all the newbies and the alliance warriors. If I did all the things in the kingdom, when the time comes they will be unreliable.
We talked about the tactics and the food rations needed for a few minutes in this minute.
"Delvi, who do you think is the most suitable for your vice-commander position?"I asked while looking at Remi and Juno.
"If you consider the battle strength only then it's Juno but Remi has better tactics and leadership qualities in the battle, so I think she will be better," She answered while looking at me.
Juno was feeling down hearing about her inability but she wasn't going to give up. Even if she doesn't get a position in this battle, in future she wanted to get better.
"I humbly accept your compliment," Remi said while bowing her head.
"It's solved then Remi will be the vice-commander," I said.
"Juno, this will be the last battle beastkin fight as a different unit, in future we will mix them with humans, so you can lead the beastkin this time," Juno was a little awkward with me after the last incident in her bedroom, but when it comes to the battlefield she knows she can't be like that.
"The battle might start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so be ready for it," I concluded the meeting letting everyone go back.
"Veli, did you send someone to give the message to mother, in case something happens to her," Lyra questioned me right after, we finished the meeting.
"Yeah, but we don't have to worry, we will definitely win this battle, sister," I reassured her before going back.
On my way back, I met Samara in front of the gate of our mansion, she was rather restless with a letter in her hand.
"Guild master, what are you doing here? Did something happen?" I asked her.
"Look at this," She gave me the letter, which was looking rather luxurious. It was done with our papers, I identified the seal it had.
I read the letter from top to bottom without missing anything,
"So they decided to dismiss you, just because you didn't retaliate,"
She had a panicked look on her face.
"I am sorry, I didn't expect this, I thought the main guild in the capital won't take action because of this," She apologised to me.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "This might be the work of a noble or the king himself, Well it doesn't matter anyway, we aren't going to discuss peace with them," I reassured her.
"Don't worry, even if they dismiss you I will take care of you, I have enough work to give you,"
"I'm glad to be an official member of your group then," She said while giving me a little smile.
