Shirley sipped her coffee while watching Mrs. Mary forget herself, and it was a nice feeling.
Mrs. Mary was very anxious when she saw Shirley's expressionless face.
Lady Mary continued, "I would long for Lord Forsford's warm embrace, I would offer to ask him for passionate kisses, and that would be the happiest thing in the world for me!"
"Oh! My dear, think how wonderful it is! Now such a good opportunity is in front of you, seize this opportunity quickly, you will get the most affectionate love from Lord Forsford! I am sure your future life will be happier than your own sister's!"
Mrs. Mary shakes Shirley's hand again, very emotional, and from her eyes, Shirley sees the desire for money, and Shirley is her tool to get it.
It occurs to Shirley that perhaps Katie's behavior is so slutty because Mrs. Mary taught her that Mrs. Mary gets money by helping men who want to get involved with Katie, and then teaches Katie how to seduce men, a cycle that can get her untold benefits.
Shirley said earnestly to Lady Mary: "My dear lady, I do wish very much that you could become younger, so that you could become Lord Forsford's wife directly, and then you would not have to go to such trouble for this little money! Besides, I don't wish I were better off than my sister; my greatest wish is that she should have happiness, and just that would be enough!"
"Once again, I will not accept Lord Forsford's advances, so please don't say anything more to me about him! Finally, I appreciate your coffee and bread, I need to leave now and look forward to a happy life for you. I think your husband is treating you very well too!"
Shirley said and left, Mrs. Mary has not yet reacted, she was about to get the money directly disappeared, but she still felt that she could continue to work a little, after all, Forsford promised to give her half a million dollars after the completion of this matter!
After Shirley leaves, Mrs. Mary calls Katie's phone.
"Oh! My dear Katie, did you have a good day?"
Katie is having afternoon tea with a friend.
"It's not bad! Dear Mrs. Mary. Is there something wrong with you?"
"Yes! Honey, I've got a big problem, oh! No! It should be a big fortune! Would you be interested in coming to my house?"
Katie's family is not short of money, but because Katie is always buying expensive cosmetics and seducing men outside, her father has reduced her allowance from $50,000 a month to $20,000, which is a very bad thing for Katie, who has always been a generous spender.
"Yes, Mrs. Mary, I'll be at your home in a minute and I'd love to help you with your problem!"
Ten minutes later, Katie appeared at Mrs. Mary's doorstep.
"God! You are a brave wolf lady! I'm afraid no one can match you with such speed!"
Mrs. Mary hugs and kisses Katie, and the two sit on the couch and start talking about Shirley.
"Dear, Lord Forsford asked me to help him court Miss Shirley with a payment of two hundred thousand dollars, but just now Miss Shirley rejected me very definitely, and I had no choice but to call you." Mrs. Mary clasped Katie's hand with both hands.
Katie was very happy when she heard Mrs. Mary's words because she was plotting something and was worried about where to start breaking through, and now Mrs. Mary gave her this information, which was very timely for her!
"Dear Lady Mary, you are my benefactor, I also happen to have a matter that needs your help, and this matter can just help you to fulfill Lord Forsford's wish by the way, but you have to help me keep it a secret! Otherwise, Lord Forsford's payment will be gone!"
"Oh! My dear! You are truly my goddess! Tell me your way! I will be eternally grateful to you!"
Katie knows Mrs. Mary very well. She is a woman who loves to talk about other people, and she can never hide secrets, whether they are her own or others'. However, when she is told that there is a secret related to money, she will never risk it with money.
William's POV
"Horsford! Where are we now?" I asked as I ran.
Horsford opened his phone, looked at it, and told me, "King, it's twenty-five kilometers to Stokey peak, less than half an hour, and we'll be there."
"Good! In ten minutes, have the warriors stop and we'll set up tents in that area and wait for Jason's reinforcements to arrive and check on the Night clan hordes in the meantime."
"Yes, King!"
Ten minutes later.
Ten minutes later we arrived at a place ten kilometers from Stokey peak, a plain that was no longer inhabited. The soldiers put up the only few tents we had brought with us and rested a little.
I propped up a table in the tent, with the map on it, and called Forsford in.
"King, just now the soldiers came to report that the Night clan army did not go over Stokey peak, the warriors there beat back their front!"
"Good, this buys us a lot of time, Stokey peak is high and has thick trees on it, our fighters are familiar with it, they shouldn't be easy to defeat, but we need to hurry up and support the fighters there. Horsford, you have 5,000 fighters go to Stokey peak first to support the fighters there, then We'll set out when part of Jason's forces arrive."
"Yes, King!"
After Horsford went out, I looked at the map in front of me and got lost in thought.
For werewolf warfare, it is divided into physical combat, guns, and circuitous tactics. Night clan hordes are characterized by guns, and they have the most sophisticated guns, so once we let them occupy favorable terrain, we will be in a passive position. And our warriors are best at physical combat, if we are fighting on the plains, our advantage is very obvious.
Now Night clan army attacked from their territory to Stokey peak and did not invade our territory at present. But Stokey peak is high altitude and uneven terrain, which is not conducive to physical combat. The victory just achieved is just a defeat of Night clan warriors who are not familiar with the terrain. Our warriors stand in a very high place and attack them with guns, but the amount of guns is not much and once they run out, we will lose the advantage.
At the foot of Stokey peak, there is a very complex terrain, where many reeds nearly two meters high grow, surrounded by small and large lakes, and many places with very low terrain, perfect for an ambush. If we occupy there first and conduct an ambush, the Night clan army will be very seriously traumatized!
I thought of this and immediately called Forsford, "Horsford, I'm sorry for my wrong decision just now, now I'm going to change the order."
"King, you say."
"You go to the barracks and pick a thousand of the bravest and fastest runners and go to Stokey peak to meet the warriors there and tell them to retreat first and retreat to the reeds at the foot of Stokey peak, I think that tonight Night clan's warriors will definitely go to their camp and sneak in, which will cause us losses. "
"King, since you already know they are about to sneak in, why don't you just lead the warriors to counterattack?"
"Because Night clan is best at guns, and they must have brought plenty of equipment with them when they came to attack us, while our warriors at the border don't have that much equipment. Attracting the Night clan army to the reeds for an ambush is our greatest advantage! I will then go to meet you, and I will also inform Jason to wait in the plain behind the reeds."
"Yes, I understand, King! This will be done!"
Jason sent a message telling me that 70,000 fighters with food and military equipment in the back had departed, a hundred kilometers away.
I poured myself a cup of coffee and let my nervous nerves relax a little.
I sat in my chair and suddenly remembered what had just happened in the Golden Hall. I still couldn't believe that Gina was that kind of a woman, she seemed so intelligent, and even if she wasn't happy with my attitude, I didn't want to believe that she was someone who would take the piss out of a dress.
And I can see that she loves her sister very much, and I don't think she would do anything to make me angry because of that, after all, that would accidentally lose Luna's position and she and her sister would be thrown out of the pack.
But what I saw was that scene, perhaps my understanding is too little, still will not understand what those women are thinking, of course, I told myself I have no feelings for her, if she let such things happen again, I will be merciless to abolish her, my side is not lack of women, more than a lack of women who can become Luna!
Then I thought of Ambow, her sexy body appeared in front of me, delicate lips, innocent eyes, snow-white breasts, I felt the blood in my nostrils was about to gush out, I made myself give up this thought, now is not the time to think about women!
I looked at my phone, Forsford has not sent me a message, I was a little anxious, from here to Stokey peak at most only ten minutes, even if they do not know the way, twenty minutes is enough, and Forsford is not the kind of person who does not know the way.
But now half an hour has passed and he still hasn't sent me a message. I don't dare to talk to him on the phone because I'm afraid my ringing will expose him to danger.
Jason told me he had found a military expert, but the man was unwilling to reveal his identity or tell him his name, and I felt happy that a military expert had appeared at this very urgent moment, and I thought it would be of great help to us in this war, even if he was unwilling to tell his name!
"This is just wonderful! God bless and please make sure you have him on your side." I replied to Jason that
"Okay, King, if you have any problems on your end, please contact me promptly."
I'm very excited, this is excellent news!
But then my phone suddenly flashed and it was a message from Forsford with only two words on it, "Save us!"
Horsford in crisis
After I saw the message, I first reconfirmed if it was sent by Forsford, and after confirming that it was correct, I sent a screenshot of the message to Jason for a military expert to help analyze it.
My mind raced, imagining many different scenarios under which Forsford would send me such a message.
Is it possible that I was wrong in predicting that the Night clan army did not rest where they were, but attacked again after the defeat? Or is it that the Night clan army has already captured Stokey peak and met Forsford who went to support them?
I called a soldier and asked him to scout it out, and I messaged Forsford to give me his location.
Before the message was sent, Jason told me that the military expert said it could be a trap and that if I replied to the message there was a good chance I would reveal my position and he had a way to know Forsford's exact location.
I was very happy and followed the method sent by the military expert to find the exact location of Forsford through Forsford's information, he was fifteen kilometers away from me and only ten kilometers from here to Stokey peak.
Fifteen kilometers means Forsford has been caught in the Night clan army!
I told Jason the news, and soon Jason told me that the military experts said that the situation at Stokey peak was not very good and that the Night clan army must have known that we wanted them to come to the plains for a physical battle and that they had chosen to fall back for the time being.
Another scenario is that the Night clan has already taken Stokey peak and Forsford has already encountered the enemy when he first arrived!
"This also means that the Night clan army will attack us directly over Stokey peak this evening, or at worst, they are on their way to attack us right now!" I replied to Jason.
"Yes, please King make preparations early, the warriors still walking are not expected to arrive until this evening, it is dangerous where King is now! Please the king must protect himself!"
"Good."
I was satisfied with this military expert Jason found, he was able to consider things I hadn't thought of, which made me feel surprised, and he also had the technology that could locate someone's position, which was also rare, and I had decided in my mind that after the war was over, I had to meet this military expert!
I walked out of the tent and ordered the soldiers to step up patrols and always be on guard against Night clan attacks.
Reader's POV
Time goes back half an hour.
Horsford received William's order to leave, led a thousand brave and fast running warriors to Stokey peak, they kept running on the way, in Forsford's leadership, not to ten minutes has arrived at the foot of Stokey peak.
Horsford's front is a path that continues to the top of the mountain, such a path can only allow a person to pass at most, the path is lined with dense trees, walking on the road will certainly be blocked by the branches of these trees extend out.
Horsford said to the warriors behind him, "Let's go up the hill!"
More than a thousand people were just about to go up the hill when they heard a sound like a tsunami from behind them, it was the Night clan army!
They had long been ambushed in advance, and Forsford and a thousand warriors were right in their envelope.
The enemy was like a bee that had been stirred, roaring, running, and pouncing on them, the warriors fought desperately, using all their usual training skills, blood splattered everywhere, the sound of killing rang through the sky. But they only had a thousand men, while the other side had nearly five thousand, and ended in a tragic defeat, Forsford as the general was brought back to the enemy's camp, and the other warriors were brutally killed.
Horsford, on the way to be taken to the enemy camp, saw that they were still climbing from the other side of Stokey peak to this side, and they kept moving forward.
Horsford couldn't figure out why it was nothing like what the soldiers reported.
After he was taken to the enemy camp, he met their Alpha.
"Great warrior Forsford, I have always admired your talents! I have heard that you are the bravest warrior in the Red night clan! I have always wanted to invite you to become the Protector of our clan in Night clan! I finally met you here today! This makes me happy!" Alpha Barnett said.
"Father, you will make Lord Protector Bill sad if you say that!" Barnett's son Bowen said from behind him.
"Your Royal Highness, if the King feels that Lord Forsford is more suitable to be the Protector, I would be more than willing to give up my position!" Bill did not mind Barnett's statement at all, and from the tone of his voice, it was clear that they were on good terms.
"Oh! How generous you are! My Lord Bill!" Bill didn't look more than a few years older than Bowen, so they stood and spoke as if they were blood brothers, and their atmosphere was so cordial.
Horsford did not speak, he was ready to sacrifice, and did not take Barnett's words to heart at all.
Barnett stepped forward, helped Forsford untie the rope, invited him to sit down, and shared a cup of coffee.
Horsford looked at the coffee in front of him and didn't want to drink it. Barnett continued, "Lord Forsford, coming to me is like coming back to your home, please don't be restrained, please don't worry, I won't let any harm come to you! I just sincerely invite you to join us."
Horsford treated him badly and said with a mocking tone, "King Barnett is so enthusiastic! Killing a thousand of my warriors just to invite me to join you, I would be doing a disservice to my dead brothers if I agreed to your proposal!"
"Lord Forsford, please don't misunderstand, the only person I want to invite is you, a thousand warriors you brought are not in my invitation list, naturally they should be eliminated, I, for one, have always disliked uninvited guests!" Barnett uttered these words without the slightest regret, even though it was something that should be done.
Horsford had previously heard that the Night clan's Alpha Barnett was a man who enjoyed killing very much.
He likes to see blood like to watch weak creatures gradually die in front of him, he grew up asking his parents to buy him small dogs and cats as well as small frogs, he will use a knife little by little to gouge out their eyes, cut off their claws, put them on the ground, listening to their moans, and then gradually die, which will make him very happy.
When he grows up some more, this small animal can no longer satisfy his desire to kill, he will go out to look for antelopes and zebras in the grassland. Although he can't turn into a wolf for hunting yet, he can use tools for capturing. He is so skilled in using the bow and arrow that he can precisely shoot the hind legs of the running animals.
He did not like to kill them directly but cut the tendons of their limbs so that they could not move, and then put them at a very long distance to practice shooting, and when the animal's body is full of fifty arrows, then change to another one.
After he turned into a wolf, this kind of character that likes to kill was more obvious, he would pull all the criminals in the prison, whether they were misdemeanors or felons, to the execution ground and draw on their bodies with a knife, he felt unusually excited listening to the sorrowful voices of the sinners, the louder the sinners screamed, the slower he drew, letting the sharp knife pierce their bodies a little, and then slowly move in the body, the skin slowly tore, and the blood slowly flowed out. Move slowly, the skin slowly tear, blood slowly flow. He would be very careful not to cut to the aorta because he did not want the sinners immediately bleeding to death.
He is more brutal in the way he punishes those who go against his will. Of course, he would treat men and women differently. In the case of executing men, he would simply cut off their genitals, tie them to a post for the nation to watch, chop them up in front of them, and feed them to them.
If it was a woman, the unattractive-looking ones would be thrown directly into the frying pan and fried. And beautiful looking women, he would put a hot frying pan in his room, let them rinse, and send them into his bedroom, no matter what the identity of that woman is, he will ravish her to his heart's content, rape her until she can not stand the insult and jump into the frying pan herself.
It is because of these actions of his that the Night clan's crime rate dropped significantly and he successfully became the Alpha.
Faced with such a cruel person, Forsford felt that he could not return to the Red night clan, he thought of Shirley, he had just entrusted Mrs. Mary to express his feelings to Shirley, did not expect to receive her reply, he was going to die.
"Father, Lord Forsford needs time to think about it, why don't we call King William here and we can discuss it together!" Bowen took Forsford's phone when he wasn't looking and sent a message to William.
"Save us!"
Horsford immediately went up for it but was taken down by Bill, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
"Give me the phone!" Forsford roared.
"Lord Forsford, the phone will be given to you, but not now. How are you considering the matter that my father invited you to just now? Everyone knows that my father is an impatient man, and if you go against his wishes, you will be punished!" Bowen took Forsford's phone and casually exchanged throws between his left and right hands.
Horsford looked at Bowen with angry eyes, and his mind had only one thought, to rush up and tear Bowen apart.
Barnett took a sip of coffee and said to Bowen, "Bowen, don't speak to Lord Forsford like that, he is our most honored guest, and I always treat my guests kindly, especially the ones I invite here."
"Yes, Father." Bowen saluted and stood to the side without further words.
Barnett looked at Forsford and said, "I'll give your lordship time to think about it, you live in prison for now, and when you think about it you can have the soldiers tell me, but when we defeat King William, you won't have a chance to backtrack!"
Having said that, he let the soldiers take Forsford into the makeshift prison.
The soldier tied Forsford to a post and hit Forsford's body with a meter-long whip, but he didn't scream out.
After Forsford left, Barnett instructed Bill to reorganize his army and try to move most of the warriors to the other side of the mountain within an hour, and once the move was complete, he attacked the Red night clan's territory.
He and Bowen also set out for the other side of Stokey peak.
