Cane listened to the report emotionlessly. His expression didn’t change at all, but in truth, this was how he used to be whenever Iris was not around. He would always have this cold and callous air to him, as if he was aloof to everything else in the world.
"What are you going to do now? Koda lost the battle and Alan has reclaimed his position as the future king of the continent with the help of the Golden Light pack and the royal sorcerers." Ethan frowned deeply. He could sense more and more troubles coming their way. "From the Moon Dew pack, Alpha Gallot sent people to help the royals as well when one of the royal sorcerers managed to escape and deliver the message to him. It’s still unknown what the royals offered to him, but in the end, he agreed to help them, which is the main reason for Koda’s defeat."
The Golden Light pack was the biggest pack in this continent, before Cane claimed all the packs in the south, from where almost all the royal guards and warriors hailed. Therefore, their forces couldn’t be taken lightly.
While the Moon Dew pack had various people from this realm, since it was the place where the black market was located, no matter how awful Alpha Gallot was, his connections were not something you could look down on and it would really help the royals in power struggle.
"What about the Celestial Moon pack? Where are they standing?" Cane had not received any letter from Alpha Derick since the last time and now he got news that Kellan had fled to that pack.
It was easy to predict that Kellan would escape to the northern pack, since the Howling Wolf pack and the Celestial Moon packs were his biggest support in the past when he was still the Crown Prince, but because of the route, it was way easier to reach the north than the south of the continent.
"There is still no declaration from Alpha Derick." Ethan then added. "This is the most recent piece of news. Our men used the fastest hawks, so at the very least, all of these happened yesterday."
Cane was deep in thought and Ethan didn’t bother him, knowing his alpha must be thinking of their next step.
Currently, the continent was divided into three parts, where all the packs in the south were completely claimed by Cane while the capital city was under the control of Alan and people from the Golden Light pack and the Moon Dew packs. Koda and his Red Claw pack joined hands with the Winter Moon pack to make his baby great grandson the next king, which would lead to Koda becoming his regent until he came of age.
Of course, the idea came from Cane when he sent him back to the capital city to deal with the royal family after the death of the King.
However, the Celestial Moon pack had not yet declared their stand, as they were still struggling with the waves of monster attack.
With the King’s death, whoever had scattered Asturi Stem in the north area seemed to have stopped their actions immediately and the monster waves should be decreased soon. Alpha Derick failed to catch the culprit who had done it. Moreover, all of that was just Cane and his theory, since the former caught Alan in the black market trying to purchase the Asturi Stem from Lou.
"If there is a message from Koda, tell him to find me himself." Cane only gave that instruction after he kept thinking for a while.
"Do you think Koda will send you a message? Will he ask you to help with the battle against the royals?" Ethan frowned, but then he stopped himself. He knew Cane wouldn’t answer such a question, it was only his habit to ask for more details.
However, to his surprise, Cane actually gave him a brief explanation.
