Chapter 358 - The Beginning of the Final Battle (1) (unedited) (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

After I got the information the lycans gave, I rushed back to the estate towards the room where Dimitri is sleeping. I knocked at his door in a rather hastily manner that I heard Dimitri scrambled up inside his room and opened the door in tremendous speed.

”Your majesty, has something happened?” Dimitri asked with worriment. His clothes were in a disheveled manner that I thought was because he was such in a hurry when he heard my knock at the door.

”I am sorry to disturb your sleep.” I said apologetically. ”But I got good intel from the lycans.”

”I understand your majesty.” Dimitri said, fixing his disheveled clothes. ”I have slept quite enough. I am ready to do the task you need me to do, your majesty.” He said with a solemn expression.

I nodded thankfully at Dimitri. He was really a loyal subordinate and an older brother figure to me. Having sleepless nights is not anything new to us. With the fight with my half brothers, having a good sleep was something we cannot have. Being in the battle field also added to having only four to six hours of sleep, just enough to rest. My subordinates have been through a lot to achieve where we are right now, and to win this battle might be the key to having the peace we are craving to have for so long to achieve.

”Please assemble the men an hour from now. I will brief them at once of the information the lycans have given.” I replied.

”I will tell them at once your majesty.” Dimitri replied with a bow.

”We will wait for the sirens' intel.” I said. ”Anatalia took the task of infiltrating the said location to gain intel. I am sure they will be back soon.”

”I understand.” Dimitri nodded. ”Then I will be back to tell the men. I will let them assemble in the training grounds after an hour.”

”Thank you, Dimitri.” I patted his shoulder. ”If we ever confront Patricia today, I wish this will be our last encounter with her. I would like this war to end with Patricia's death by my hands.” Dimitri nodded in understanding.

I want this battle to be the last one to be fought in this war with Patricia. Jennovia has already surrendered to me and made a treaty. We just need to end Patricia's life, to make sure that there will be no one biting our backs after the three kingdoms have been combined and become an empire.

”This will be the final battle.” I said with conviction.

After an hour had passed, I headed to the training grounds for the knights of Duke Destia's estate. Once there I saw a significant amount of men standing in rows, it was a mix of knights and soldiers. Some were wearing soldier's uniform of the Alvannian kingdom. They were the soldiers that Dimitri and William recruited. Others were wearing specific knight's garbs, depending on what family they were associated with. They were knights of noble families that were called to our aide. And the last group was Dimitri's own elite unit of Atlantians. They were wearing there signature black uniform with the crest of the country of Grandcrest.

I headed towards the platform in front of them. Already standing there were Duke Destia and his son Raphael, Dimitri, and William. I have called Belgor to attend this gathering as well, but they were not yet here. The lycans are still wary of humans and does not linger much with them. I also did not want to force them if they do not want to.

I was about to step up the platform when I heard the men murmuring loudly. I looked at the entrance of the training grounds and saw the lycans making their entrance with Belgor in the lead. Lycans were basically much larger and bulkier than a normal human. The human knights and soldiers were surprised by the entrance of these unknown people, but Dimitri's men were who were with me the time we confronted with the lycans were calm with there sudden presence.

”Sorry for being late.” Belgor said with a huge grin. ”We did not want to surprise the humans, but I guess our presence gives off a dominant vibe.”

”It is okay.” I reassured him. ”Well, you did have huge impact for being late. Such a big entrance, I might say.” I joked and chuckled.

”I know right? Hahaha…” Belgor laughed out heartily.
