Blaze 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 the lake. Still, seeing how destructive her power could get, Blaze thought it would be more advantageous to fight in the lake, 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," Blaze 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 the lake, 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!"
Blaze 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 the lakeside, staring at the calm lake. He waited patiently for his beloved while protecting this lake.
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 the lake surface, hoping the reflection of the moon would give him an ease of heart.
