192 Securing The Capital Part Two (1/2)
After Alicia made sure all the Alastine soldiers were safe, she began to plan her next move. ”We will go south first. That is where most of the knights, soldiers, and mages are. We will need the mages to begin working on barriers right away.”
”Plus having Dalton there to lead will help things as well.” Blake knew how respected Dalton was among the knights and soldiers.
”I will also need to make a trip back to Parith. So I can evacuate Dalton's family and the people there. ”
”The Fourth Prince and Second Princess should be okay for a while. The wall we built was thick enough to hold off the Fernilia Kingdom with ease. Luckily they have no close ties with any other countries around them so we do not need to worry about them gaining reinforcements. So making a trip to Parith won't matter. If only these mirrors weren't strictly two way...” Blake pulled out the bronze mirror King Augustus gave him a few years back and sighed. He knew that Alicia's brother and sister had one as well for means of contact between them and King Augustus.
”It's fine, they are both smart and they have Starla and Annelia with them. If anything those two will pull them back if needed. Let's go, we can not waste any more time. The dwarves seem to be regrouping.” Alicia poked the air in front of her creating a rift.
Blake quickly jumped through it followed by Alicia. Just as the rift disappeared a beam of light smashed into the ground where they were standing. One of the dwarves had noticed them and fired his weapon at them. The crater it left was a few meters deep and around ten meters in diameter. Which showed just how powerful dwarven technology was.
Alicia and Blake reappeared inside the command tent causing Dalton to fall out of his chair when he saw a crack in space open up. But when he saw Alicia and Blake appear he quickly jumped off the ground and straightened himself up.
”Sir Dalton, order all your soldiers, knights and mages to return here now. Also, send word to Burgec to bring his men here as well. Where is Princess Sola?” Alicia did not waste time giving orders and Dalton being as experienced as he was, did not hesitate to begin relaying her orders for them to return to base camp. He knew Alicia would explain soon.
”She is…” Dalton went to answer when a cat eared girl quickly walked into the tent.
”I am here Princess Alicia...” Princess Sola gave a small bow.
”From this moment on you will be in charge of Burgec and his men. I will have you all come with me as well.”
”Princess Alicia there are around ten thousand more Beastmen who we will need you to form a contract with.” Princess Sola quickly stated.
Alicia's eyes opened wide and a smile formed on her face. The extra help was very much welcomed! ”It seems you and Burgec were able to turn more of the Beastmen.”
