Third Person’s POV
In the military camp outside Tower City, Alpha Lance pressed his hands against the tactical table.

His towering figure radiated a cold cedar pheromone, his wolf pupils gleaming like molten fire under the bonfire light.
“Weunch the general offensive at dawn,” he said. “Capture Frostbite Town, and we secure the Western Tribes‘ supplies–food, meat, cotton clothes, bedding, and more. Their wolf warriors arrived at the southern border loaded with provisions.”
At the mention of “meat, the werewolves‘ ears perked up.
They’d long subsisted on crackers, their eyes now glowing with hunger.
Alpha Lance pointed to Frostbite Town’s west side on the map, motioning Adide forward. “After the city falls, lead three thousand wolves straight here. The supplies are stockpiled there.” “The Dragon Ash Kingdom and Western Tribes have many wounded. Once the city breaks, they’ll prioritize evacuating them over food,” he exined.
“Besides, there’s food in Darkw Town. They won’t care much. But for us, these supplies are. critical, Lance exined.
The team finally understood why Lance had targeted enemy soldiers to inflict injuries rather than fatalities in the battle.
Lance had never been one to show mercy on the battlefield.
Adide felt her blood boil with enthusiasm.
Food, meat, armor, cotton clothes, bedding–these were all desperately needed by Lance’s forces. Adide’s wolf w traced the map. The terrain was open, perfect for a rapid assault.
“Mission epted!” she dered.
Three <b>thousand </b>enough? I’ll give you five, seven thousand-whatever <b>you </b>need, Lance offered.
“Three thousand is plenty,” Adide said confidently.
Alpha Lance let out an approving howl, shaking the pine torches. “That’s the Frostfang spirit! The rest follow me to bombard the east <b>gate</b>!”
Adide voiced her concerns <b>about </b>the city’s defenses–twelve Frostwolf crossbows and bear- n methrowers.

His de mmed the table. “I’ll draw their fire. You five and Abbott’s two Gammas seize the battlements.”
“Destroy the crossbows first, then capture the methrowers. Tommy’s demo team will blow the gates. The rest depends on your speed,” he said.
She suddenly saw Lance’s n–as the Alpha, he’d draw all enemy fire once at the front.
But this would also scatter the defenders‘ focus–just as her father once used a battle g as bait to buy time for a nk attack.
“But what about your safety?”
“My hide’s tougher than crocodile scales, Lance said.
“Besides, if I die, you’ll carry my banner–the daughter of Alpha Bentley can handle that, right?” he added.
True to his style, Lance initiated the attack at midnight. Drums roared, horns red.
The Western Tribes and Dragon Ash wolves never expected another assault so soon. Crossbows fired and archers took position, but while the defenders had bonfires zing on the battlements, Lance’s forces remained hidden in the dark.
This put the enemy in the open, while Lance’s wolves advanced under cover of darkness.
Adide and four others sprinted toward the city gates. As they reached the gates, they leaped onto the battlements.
Adide’s silver spear pierced the soldier operating a crossbow, and with a punch, she shattered the mechanism..
The archers swung golden armor gleaming in the firelight.

Someone bellowed, “It’s Alpha Lance! Kill him!”
All arrows now rained down on Lance. His golden de spun defensively, parrying wave after

Wolf warriors surged forward, ws swiping at him.
Seeing this, Adide and her team swiftly destroyed the remaining crossbows and jumped down to open the gates.
Two held the position while three covered them. Under their protection, the <b>gates </b>were flung
open.
The sudden attack left the enemy stunned.
dismissively, “Again? What a joke. Scare them off with arrows.”
“No, they’ve breached the walls!”
“Alpha Lance and his wolves have breached the walls!” cries echoed through the chaos.
“Gates are open!”
Snke was jolted awake by the shrill cries.

Snke red at Victor. “Your men were supposed to guard the gates. That you didn’t detect the assault is uneptable.
