Out of the smoke, a pack of wolves came running toward us, a pack of dozens of wolves, running toward our rear.
"The Blue Moon royal family," Adras said with great certainty.
"Adras, how do you know that?" Charlton asked.
"I once accompanied my mother and the royal princess to a banquet of several packs and met Alpha Bazel of the Blue Moon royal family and his Protector Liddell." Adras looked at the wolves in the distance and continued, "The one who just passed was the Protector Reid, and even though he turned into a wolf, his red hair allowed me to identify him immediately."
"Let's get in as soon as we can! At least for now, we can be sure that this place is very unstable, and fortunately, our identities are not recognized." Mrs. Josie pulled me along, with several men looking around very alertly in the back.
The environment of this hotel is very different from that of the Night Clan, but seeing as the Blue moon clan is conducting a war, we can forgive its dilapidation.
The difference was that the men were divided into two groups and stayed in the rooms on either side of us so that the men could be the first to reach our rooms in case anything happened.
Mrs. Josie told me as she packed her things, "We've been to packs like this before, and there's always been a war between packs, something King Adolf doesn't object to, because it's an underlying rule of our werewolf pack that only the strongest wolves are qualified to live! Right?"
Mrs. Josie's words were right, but for me, every time I heard that in my life before this was when people laughed at me, and I said to Mrs. Josie with some hesitation, "Ma'am, maybe the underdog needs some power to survive, even if we are a militant werewolf race, I think the underdog is trying very hard to survive. "
"God, you are so kind and remind me of our great Princess! When we finish our mission, I will take you to see the princess, and I swear, she will like you very much! Because you are so beautiful and kind! My dear Miss Evelyn." Madame Josie hugged me tightly.
"Yes, ma'am, I look forward to that day."
We finished packing and had a three-hour meeting, Hunter proposed to leave now to go out to investigate, according to their experience in fighting the biggest problem of the community is chaos, we first need to ensure their safety, to be able to bring back accurate information to tell the king.
Mrs. Josie and I dressed as refugees and carried a backpack with our daily clothes, as we needed to blend in to be able to investigate the most reliable information.
As we walked out of the hotel, we saw the men getting ready and we set off in different directions. Mrs. Josie and I went to the busiest part of the bazaar because we were going to beg.
This reminds me of the time when I was a child and my sister took me to the marketplace to beg after I was beaten for stealing buns at Madame Marie's house, and I thought I could do well for such a thing.
"Honey, if you think that's a little hard, it would be easier to go with the men and sell things, just standing in the road, than begging." Mrs. Josie said to me with some concern.
"No matter, madam, I have not experienced the time of selling things, but I have begged before, and this matter is familiar enough to me!"
Mrs. Josie took my hand and said, somewhat sadly, "Oh! God! I want to know what you have been through. That past that you don't want to remember must have been very painful for you!"
I smiled at her and said, "Yes, so I am grateful to you."
I didn't want to remember the past, and Mrs. Josie didn't continue to talk about it. We went to the marketplace, picked a slightly cleaner area, and Mrs. Josie sat directly on the ground, with me leaning next to her.
I looked at the pedestrians coming and going, most of them were wearing very shabby clothes and walking with their heads down in a very tired manner.
Mrs. Josie looked around at the people who were begging like us and asked, "May I ask this lady, is there a lord here who will reward us with money?"
The woman looked up and you could tell that she hadn't eaten in a long time, she was weak, her hands resting on her huddled knees, her voice small.
"You guys just got here, right! There are people here who give a certain number of coins, but most of the time there aren't any, I haven't eaten for two days, and even if I can get a coin once in a while, people around me will come and grab it, and I have no helpers, so I can only watch them take mine away."
I could see that Mrs. Josie already had tears in her eyes.
"You'd better go somewhere else! If you have the strength, go to the place where the Alpha lives, it's very rich, and I think there will be many warm-hearted people there! I can't walk anymore!"
"Don't ever go! Don't ever go!" A man sitting across from us said very sadly. He seemed to have been through a lot, he looked seriously at Mrs. Josie and said, "A few days ago my brother couldn't stand it here, so he went to where the Alpha lived and ended up with a broken leg a day later, he came back here with an inflamed wound, I had no money to treat him, and he died the next day!"
The man was sad and kept wiping the tears from his face.
"Why doesn't Alpha care about us? They started the war and we are the victims!" I was furious.
"This beautiful girl, you are still too young and know too little about our Alpha!" The woman next to him lowered her voice and said, "Alpha Bazel's favorite thing is to drink wine in his palace, and everyone knows that he is a very lustful man."
The man across the street reminded the woman, "Hey! Do you not want to live? We can't talk about Alpha-related matters right now. The Alpha recently ordered that an emissary from the King will come to our people within two weeks to investigate, and we can't talk about our people's affairs to others!"
The woman laughed, some helplessness in her smile, she looked at the man, some anger, "Bazel is in his palace all day eating and drinking, accompanied by beautiful women every day, he is not in any mood to manage us! At such a time his main concern should be whether he has enough wine and whether the war at the border is won or not!"
The man heard the woman's somewhat generous words, and could not say anything to stop her.
Mrs. Josie said with tears in her eyes, "We were miserable, my daughter and I were living on the border and suddenly one day the army came and the war started without any warning! We started to flee, and on the way, we met many more troops, how I wish I could go back to my previous life!"
Mrs. Josie's words seemed to resonate with the people next to her. In addition to the woman and man who had just been there, others who heard Mrs. Josie's words were crying, thinking of the suffering they had suffered along the way, and how even the Almighty could not save them now.
But at this time, the most admired Alpha is having the happiest time in his palace.
"Oh! God! If the king's army could come here, I would show my life and tell him of our suffering!" The man across the table said with sudden excitement.
The people around them also nodded their heads very firmly in agreement with the man's remarks.
Suddenly, several wolves appeared not far from us, and they looked around with fierce eyes as if they were looking for something.
"The royal army is here, and they are looking for the king's spies." The man across the street lowered his voice and said.
"Why are you looking inside the beggars? The king's spies should be living in the palace of the Alpha!" The woman next to him was puzzled.
"Are you a fool? Only the information that comes out of our mouths is the most truthful! How could the Alpha tell the secret agent that he loves beautiful women?" The man seemed to know a lot.
He suddenly looked at us and said very cautiously, "Why don't you guys leave yet?"
"Leave? We want to beg here ......" Mrs. Josie didn't finish her sentence before the man interrupted.
"I have long since discovered that you are not like us, that you are the king's spies! If they were refugees as miserable as we are, they must not be so spirited, and there were no refugees at the border a long time ago, for they would have starved to death long ago!"
"We ......"
"You guys get out of here now! That group of soldiers is not the most powerful, I can sense that Protector Reid will be here soon, he is a very brave warrior and he has the most sensitive nose in the world! You have a different scent from us, he will be able to catch you!"
I looked at the wolf soldiers who were gradually coming towards us, and behind them, I vaguely saw a wolf with red hair.
Mrs. Josie pulled me up, gave the man a quick salute, and hurried away.
The man suddenly called out to us, "Hey! Ma'am, if the king can come, I hope he will send troops to watch over our community!"
The refugees around them nodded at the same time, and Mrs. Josie said to them with great determination, "It will be! The King will save you!"
We walked into the side alley, dodged the soldiers, changed into more everyday clothes where no one would notice again, and walked into the hotel room.
We sat at the table and did not speak for a long time, I was thinking that the community I used to live in was so peaceful, my life once compared to theirs did not seem so miserable, at least I still had my sister to protect me, I did not have to beg all the time, I could still receive higher education.
Mrs. Josie kept looking at the glass in front of her, and I think she may have been recalling the man's words earlier.
I don't know how long it took for the men to return, and they still brought back very useful information, which we sorted through, but Mrs. Josie was in a depressed mood the whole time.
Charlton brought a detailed map of the Blue moon clan's military deployment, which was chaotic. He said that the war between the Blue moon clan and the Red moon clan was maintained until now solely by the Blue moon clan's large numbers.
With the extension of time, the Blue moon clan will not be able to hold on, at that time the king will not need to monitor the Blue moon clans!
"It may not be possible to wait for the arrival of the king!"
I remembered the man's last words again.
