Chapter 414 Tonight, We Begin Our March!

Felis stopped pacing his room as he came back to sit on the chair that was at the head of the table. He looked at Morava and said, "How about we attack Pegasii, Princess Morava?"

"That would be the best, King Felis," Morava said, trying to conceal her excitement. She wanted Felis to attack Pegasii, kill her father and then take it over as the queen.

"What do you know about Pegasii these days, princess?" Felis asked as he rested his elbows on the table and put his chin over steepled fingers.

Morava narrowed her eyes slightly just enough for Felis to notice but then she instantly groomed her expression. She didn't know why he was asking it, but she had to say something. "It is still under the control of my dullard father, King Biham and that he has made Lusitania his heir. This also means that eventually the kingdom would go to King Eltanin."

Felis sneered. "Is that all you know?"

"From the spies I have heard that Biham's mate whom he had rejected, has come back in his life and now she is contemplating on becoming the queen of Pegasii."

"Then let me add a few more details," he growled. "Kinshra is a fae and along with her father and mother, she stays there. Lord Krail, who is Kinshra's father, has started trade between Vilinski and Pegasii. This means that at any point of time there are several faes who are in Pegasii as trade partners. If we attack Pegasii, we are sure to be defeated only because of the sheer power of faes. Or have you forgotten that the faes have magic in them? Even your younger sister Princess Lusitania is a fae and can wield magic!"

Morava's face paled. Where was Felis getting at?

"So what you are suggesting is that we attack Pegasii which would result in killing many of my men in the first strike itself." He got up and thumped the table and shouted, "Do you want me to win this war or you are pushing me towards our extinction?"

Morava jumped in her seat. "N--no!" she rasped.

"All I can see is a greedy bitch sitting here and trying to use me. Every information that you gave me about Pegasii couldn't be used properly for our advantage. So just shut up and do not advise me or my commanders!"

Morava was shocked. Previously, Felis would always take her advice but right now he looked so menacing. He insulted her in front of so many people that if it had been her kingdom, she would have slapped the person who would have dared to humiliate her. Not only that, she would have thrown them in dungeons. But what could she do at present? She swallowed her humiliation as tears welled in her eyes. She lowered her head and looked at her clasped hands in her lap. None of the Alphas who were mated to her had the power to go against Felis.

Felis looked at his commanders and gave them the final order. "We will attack Aquila in two days. Call Alphard from his station and gather every Nyxer. We will take our entire army to attack Aquila. We are going to take one kingdom after the other. Once we have Aquila in our control, we will merge its army with ours and then attack Eridanus. These two kingdoms are necessary to be captured!"

Felis left the meeting chamber in a hurry and his commanders followed him. As soon as they were all out, Morava turned to the Alphas. "How could you let him humiliate me?" she shouted at them. "That bastard just insulted me and all of you kept sitting here like ducks? Do you have no dignity? Can't you protect your wife? When you want to have sex you all bloody pounce on me and when it is time to protect me, you chicken up?"

"Shut up!" The eldest of the Alphas growled. "You don't know anything yet for your advantage you speak nonsense. We were all so ashamed of you when you said that in front of the king. Have you no regard to our prestige?"

"Your prestige?" she snapped and got up. "Your prestige is only there because you are married to me and one day, I will make an heir for you!"

"One day?" said another one. He got up and walked to her. He caught her by her waist and pushed her against the table.

"What are you doing?" she shouted.

"Can you not see?" he laughed. "We are trying to make babies. It's been a few months since you have been with us and yet you haven't become pregnant!"

Morava's blood drained from her face. She clawed the Alpha behind her, but he was in no mood to listen to her. He shredded her gown from behind and pushed her over the table. And before she could recover from the shock, he was inside her from behind.

"I am going to get you all killed!" Morava shouted.

He slapped her on her ass making her shriek. The whole ordeal lasted barely a few minutes when she turned to slap him, but she saw that he had backed and the next Alpha was leering at her. He turned her again on the table and took her.

Alphard got the information that the king wanted him back and that they would be attacking the kingdom of Aquila first. He ordered his army of Nyxers to march towards Aquila instead of going to Hydra.

Felis gathered all his forces in Hydra. Every one of them, except the spies were there when he gave them the war speech. "Nyxers, we will all be marching towards the kingdom of Aquila. We are starting with our victory march. It will end in Draka and then beyond it, if possible, to the Jade Sea! So prepare yourself. At the end of this war, we will emerge victorious!"

The Nyxers howled in unison at their king's words.

"And then we will rule Araniea! If anyone of you have doubts about it, they are most welcome to come forward." Felis paused, scanning the crowd in front of him. No one came forward. He declared, "Tonight, we begin our march! Kill everyone, destroy everything that comes in your way."

The Nyxers cheered for their leader in unison.
