The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 314

149 Battle And Fate

~Leo~

The time had finally come, and I was very nervous. Sylvester tried to boost our

morale by giving us a heartfelt speech, but I could not take my mind off that we

might be outmatched tonight.

All my life fighting, I had never gone to battle with fear of being beaten. This was

indeed the first, and I hoped we would survive it.

“Leo, You are taking command,” Sylvester said while we headed out.

I nodded and felt like the pressure of the world was on my shoulders. Commanding seven hundred troops would take a lot of work.

“Don’t worry, Leo, you have us,” Alexei linked me.

“You must return home to Amelia,” Clay said to me.

I was grateful for their consideration, but it did not alleviate my fear.

They had control of two hundred and fifty out of the seven hundred and still had

to wait for my orders, but the best part was we all had each other’s backs. Even

though Alexei, Clay and Andrew had just joined our group, I knew they would

not betray us. We were fighting the same cause.

We headed out and did not move as a group. We were scattered, and I made

sure our men were hidden. I did not want to alert the Stepanovs watching, and I

did not want a confrontation immediately. A sneak attack to begin before the

entire assault will serve us better.

“Darts!” I linked all the men so those possessing the darts would know to use

them now.

We hid from view and watched the Stepanovs guarding the place mysteriously drop to the ground.

Those guarding the entrance to the theatre were the first to fall. I do not know

what they put in the dart, but Amelia had told me it was lethal. The goal was to

reduce them as much as possible so we would not fight too many people, which

seemed to work.

We remained unseen and waited for our men to shoot all the Stepanovs on the

street. I knew there were three buildings in the vicinity the Stepanovs occupied,

and I expected they would come out once they saw their comrades dropping

like flies.

They all fell, and soon the streets were empty, and our men stopped shooting

abruptly.

Satisfied with the performance, I linked everyone to advance towards the
