Chapter 308 308: The Battle Begins

Ramsey

I stood with my warriors at the edge of the forest, watching as the weapon master's trucks arrived. This moment had been months in the making. Ever since the first Feral attacks, I'd been working with our best craftsmen to develop weapons that could effectively combat these threats.

"Right on time," I said as Master Gregor approached, carrying a large metal case.

"Everything you requested, Alpha," he reported, opening the case to reveal rows of specialized ammunition. "Silver nitrate bullets for the rifles and pistols. The tips are hollow-point—they'll expand on impact for maximum damage."

Lenny whistled lowly. "These will tear through a Feral like paper."

"That's the idea," I replied grimly.

Gregor's apprentices unloaded more cases from the trucks. "We've also brought the grenades and explosives," he explained. "The grenades contain a mixture of silver powder and wolfsbane extract. They'll create a cloud that will weaken any were-creature caught in the blast radius."

"And the explosives?" I asked.

"Mountain ash shrapnel packed with consecrated iron," Gregor answered. "Effective against panthers and foxes alike."

I nodded, satisfied. Initially, these weapons had been developed for the war against the Dark One and his Ferals, but Nathan's betrayal had accelerated our timeline. Tonight, we would use one-third of our arsenal, hopeful that it would be enough to eliminate Nathan and his goons without depleting our reserves.

"Distribute them according to the plan," I ordered. "Rifles to the marksmen, grenades to the forward units, explosives to the perimeter teams."

As my warriors armed themselves, I checked in with the other group leaders. Lenny's eastern force was already moving through the mining tunnels. Freya's Sigma fighters had begun their silent approach through the marshlands.

"Remember," I told my unit as we boarded our vehicles, "stealth is crucial until all groups are in position. Maintain radio silence except for the coordinated attack signal."

Our vehicles had been modified for this mission—muffled engines and tires specially designed to navigate rough terrain without making noise. We moved like shadows through the forest, approaching Nathan's camp from the north.

When we reached our designated position, I signalled for the vehicles to stop. Through my binoculars, I surveyed Nathan's camp. Fires burned brightly, and the sounds of laughter and conversation drifted toward us. Nathan's forces seemed relaxed, confident—they weren't expecting an attack.

I activated my radio, keeping my voice low. "Lycan Leader to Eastern Force. Status?"

"Eastern Force in position," Lenny's voice crackled through the speaker, "Supply lines in sight. Ready to engage."

"Lycan Leader to Sigma Force. Status?"

"Sigma Force ready," Freya reported. "Western flank secured. Their guard rotation is sloppy—only four sentries for the entire perimeter."

"Confirmed," I responded. "All units prepare to attack on my mark. Three..."
