The beastmen soldiers were shocked when they heard that.
"I-is that true, Your Majesty? Our Queen will descend from heaven from the Sacred Selene Lake?" Blaze asked as he also had his hopes up.
"Yes, she will return after she raises our newborn cub. That is why, we cannot let the enemy touch the Sacred Selene Lake, or the Queen will not be able to return to us!" Gale announced, as to burn the fighting spirit inside his soldiers’ hearts. He knew that deep down, his soldiers actually preferred Swan more than him, and he actually liked it because that meant she was well-loved by the beastmen.
All the beastmen were fired up instantly. They had been hoping that their King and Queen would return soon to rule them again, and the idea of their beloved Queen Swan descending from heaven to grace them with her love and care was enough to make them ready to fight whatever threat was in front of them.
Gale could sense the army of beastmen and the undead were getting closer. He couldn’t let them reach the Sacred Selene Lake area, so he took a deep breath.
"FIGHT UNTIL YOUR LAST BREATH! WE CANNOT LET THEM REACH THE LAKE!" Gale shouted, and all the beastmen soldiers raised their weapons and prepared their stances, ready to fight their enemies. "FOR THE QUEEN!"
"FOR THE QUEEN! RAAARGGHHH!"
All the beastmen let out a warcry before rushing towards the army of undead and brainwashed beastmen with raised weapons. The big brute soldiers attacked the undead because they were physically stronger and didn’t need to worry about hurting anyone, as all of the humans were dead anyway.
Meanwhile, the smaller and slimmer soldiers were very agile and precise in their strike, so they tried to subdue the brainwashed beastmen. They prioritized the one with children strapped on their bodies, and once they were done striking them, they quickly separated the children and tied them all together in a safer place.
Meanwhile, Gale, as the Beast King, used his heightened senses to detect all the beastmen without children. He moved at almost inhumane speed and struck them all to incapacitate them. He moved from one area to another with such an amazing speed that he was almost undetectable by his own soldiers.
Gale was very focused right now. He didn’t want to hurt the children, because they reminded him of his son, whom he carried for the first time. As for the undead, who kept on coming in a massive wave, all he did was slash through them brutally. He made sure to chop them nice and clean, so the undead would take a long time to magically recover their limbs.
He could’ve just turned into his true giant wolf form, but it was too hard to control his strength in that size. He would’ve accidentally killed so many of the brainwashed beastmen alongside his soldiers in just one claw sweep.
