Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Dark Witch''s Invasion (1)


    ze knew he didn''t have much time on his hands. He had to mobilize the soldiers as fast as he could because they needed to reach the Sacred Selene Lake before the dark witch got to the Beast King first.


    He doubted that His Majesty would put up a fight—if any at all—against the dark witch, as he was too heartbroken to even lift his head right now.


    They could''ve just attacked the dark witch immediately as she was just floating slowly toward the direction of theke. Still, seeing how destructive her power could get, ze thought it would be more advantageous to fight in theke, to incite their fighting spirit to fight for the Beast King.


    And who knew, the Beast King might also feel encouraged to finally get up and defend himself.


    "We are in a rush, but worry not, we are beastmen. We know how to traverse through the forest and other difficult terrain. We will split the group to fit the certain terrain," ze announced. "All the wolves, tigers, lions, and other forest beastmen will follow me through the shortcut to reach Sacred Selene Lake faster. The snake and crocodile beastmen will traverse through the swamp area nearby using a shortcut that is only usable for your type. All the flying beastmen will go straight to theke, but make sure to avoid the dark witch. Our goal is to reach His Majesty before her. I believe His Majesty will finally regain his strength after seeing how hard we fight to defend him!"


    ze saw that everyone was as pumped as he was. He raised his fist in the air and yelled before they left, "THE FATE OF BEASTMEN LAYS IN OUR HAND. LET''S FIGHT UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH!"


    "OOHHHH!!!!"

    Meanwhile, Gale was sitting at thekeside, staring at the calmke. He waited patiently for his beloved while protecting thiske.


    His strong instinct told him that something terrible would happen soon, but he didn''t know what that would be.


    On top of that, he also had a hunch that his beloved would finally return with their cub. It had been six months since she gave birth. The Moon Goddess told him that his son is a Stormfront, but as for his first name, Selene said it would be a secret because Swan would tell him personally.


    This should be a happy moment for him, because he had finally found his fated mate, and it was none other than his beloved Swan. He also had an offspring, his first one, who was conceived with love, not just out of obligation as an Alpha.


    ''But what is this uneasiness in my heart? I feel like something will be taken away from me for the second time. But it''s not Swan...'' Gale thought. ''I don''t think I would be hurt, since I''m unbeatable. But my instinct told me I am in grave danger.''


    Gale tried to suppress this uneasiness by staring intensely at theke surface, hoping the reflection of the moon would give him an ease of heart.


    But then, he saw the reflection of the moonlight on theke''s surface ripple. Gale''s body tensed as he immediately put his guard up, expecting an attack. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    He used his senses to detect any sound, scent, or movementing in his direction.


    ''Hundred thousands of humans... and at least five thousand beastmen What is this? Why are they approaching the Sacred Selene Lake without fear? Do they work together under one rule? I thought I''d conquered all of the beastmen tribes on this continent. Do they betray me just because I haven''t been ruling the Kingdom of Beastmen for a while?'' Gale pondered. ''This ce should be well guarded even without me because the Moon Goddess put


    a few barriers around.''


    Unfortunately, he didn''t have much time to analyze the situation. He stood up, and


    turned around, ready to face whatever threat wasing.


    ''I don''t care if they are a bunch of traitors. Iwill kill them all if I have to,'' Gale told himself. ''This ce is the only ce where my wife will return, and cannot let it be destroyed no matter what.''


    The wind started blowing in his direction, making it easier for Gale to pick up their scents. Just as he expected, it was a massive amount of human soldiers with a bunch of beastmen.


    ''This is unfortunate. I thought I


    wouldn''t have to kill another


    beastman anymore after I became a


    king...'' Gale had faced a lot of


    l.ne


    betrayal in his life, so to think that so many beastmen would betray him like this was even more hurtful. "Since there are so many of them, I guess I''ll have to take this a bit more seriously."


    Gale took a deep breath, and he grunted as his muscles began to grow. He got visibly bigger, stronger, and hairier as he transformed into his two-legged werewolf form.


    His eyes were glowing red, but it wasn''t deadly like before.


    After Swan freed him out of his curse, he had full control over his deadly gaze. If he wanted to kill everyone who dared to go against him, all he had to do was to close his eyes for three seconds and open it.


    The moment he heard a rustle in front of him, he took a deep breath and was ready to kill the intruder with his deadly gaze.


    However, he was surprised when he detected the familiar scent of his new beta. He frowned and canceled his gaze.


    "ze Silverfang?"


    "Your Majesty!" ze Silverfang came out of his hiding and rushed to kneel in front of the mighty Beast King, followed by other beastmen soldiers from the castle which had arrived earlier.


    "What happened? Why are you here with my army?" Gale asked. "If you intend to ask me to rule over the kingdom, then I will do it after my wife returns from the Goddess realm."
