She Belongs To The Devil

It was a clear winter night. The stars were shining brightly. And a perfect half-moon was adding to the beauty of the chilly night.

It would have been a perfect night for the vampires to go around the town for a lovely stroll or go on a perfect hunt with their loved ones.

However, it was not happening today or anytime soon because the Kingdom was already on the brink of war.

Most of the vampires had already gathered at the barrack months ago. And not just vampires, the human soldiers were also already present at the barrack.

All of them had gathered there after exchanging goodbyes with their families and loved ones and promising to return back home after the war was over. No one knew who would be able to keep their promise to their families and who would not.

At the moment, some of the soldiers were making sure they had packed everything that they needed. Some were polishing and sharpening their weapons, while some were looking at the stars and remembering their family members and were hoping that they would get to see their loved ones soon.

After about half an hour, King Reginald also arrived there at the barrack to join his army.

He was surrounded by the Royals Guards. They were carrying his belongings and one of them was carrying Gina in his arms. As soon as they arrived there, that guard put Gina on the ground. She almost tumbled because her head was still spinning from that super-fast running.

Head General Carlos and Vampire General Evans were already waiting at the gate to receive their King. "Greetings Your Majesty," both of them bowed their head to their King and started to walk behind him.

"How is the preparation going on?" King Reginald put his hands behind his back and asked while darting his eyes around at the camps to see what his soldiers were doing.

General Carlos answered first, "The soldiers have already been informed about the time that we will be moving. They are giving final touches to their preparation. I have asked all of them to sleep early so that they can rest enough before we hit the road."

"Hmm." Reginald turned his head towards the side where General Evans was walking and asked, "And what about the assassins?"

"The assassins are also prepared. All of them have been distributed with the potion enough to last them for 15 days, and blood enough to last them for four days. We are hoping that after the fourth day, they can manage the blood themselves." General Evans reported.

Reginald's lips curved up to form a sinister smirk. And he confidently agreed, "I am sure our special force will be able to bathe in the blood of the humans they choose. There will be enough for all of them to choose from the battlefield."

Evan supported his King with a light chuckle while Carlos, being a human, was still disturbed by this plan of the vampires.

Although Carlos believed that the war would go as planned, he was a little worried thinking that the vampires wouldn't even think twice before pouncing on their fellow human soldiers if something came up and they happened to starve.

Carlos looked away from the King while thinking to himself, "So many things could go wrong! First, the stock of blood could go bad even though this is winter. Second, what if we get stuck on the road? There could be landslides blocking the path! Or that Devil could turn the path into an unending loop like the last time!"

He looked up at the moon and prayed silently, "Oh dear lord! Please don't let us get stuck with these bloodsuckers."

The three of them walked inside a building and then before entering the room that was assigned to Reginald for today, Reginald turned around to face his Generals who he had entrusted to carry out the necessary preparations for the war.

And he asked just to make sure that all of them were on the same page as the war tactics had changed back and forth a little too many times over the duration of the past five months. "Okay, give me a quick rundown of what we will be doing tomorrow. And then the two of you should also go and rest."

General Evans took the initiation to speak first, "1500 of the vampires will head towards the Jhomla Pass at 8 in the morning. If they run at their full speed, they should reach the border at around 2 in the afternoon. And they will wait for the right time and will commence the attack."

And then General Carlos added to what Evans had said, "The rest of the vampires will come along with two of our divisions. The three of us will also join this army and we all will head towards Frostford sharp at 8 in the morning. We shall reach Frostford by the third day."

"Good. Tomorrow we march." King Reginald proudly held his head high and smirked devilishly.

"If they haven't changed their plan at the last moment then the vampires will arrive here by noon tomorrow." Adeline was standing in front of the werewolves and the sorcerers at the hidden base camp at the border.

Theodore, Nigel, and Tabitha were also standing by Adeline's side while facing the crowd of the soldiers who were ready to ambush their enemies and annihilate them all.

Adeline's facial expression looked full of confidence and trust towards her comrades when she spoke. "And all of you already know what you are supposed to do. They want to do a surprise attack on us but we will be giving them the taste of their own medicine instead."

In front of her, there were 1000 werewolves and 200 sorcerers. The werewolves were going to be led by Nigel while Tabitha was going to lead the magic wielders.

Adeline carefully looked at all the soldiers. Most of them were very driven to strike their enemies tomorrow. But there were still a few faces that showed hesitance and fear.

So, in order to boost their morale, Adeline spoke in a loud and charismatic voice, "I know that we are short on three hundred soldiers here. But if we go as planned, then that shortcoming won't matter at all. I believe in all of your talent and the hard work that you all have displayed for the past five months."

"I already know that nothing can come in between our victory." Adeline pumped her fist in the air and shouted a battle cry, "Let's win this war!"
