The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 314

~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 theatre. I planned to position our men nearby and take control of the place.

This way, the Stepanovs in the Theater will be trapped, and the ones in the other buildings won’t be able to attack confidently because we will have those in the theatre as hostages. We all wanted Yuri but were prepared to kill as many of them as possible to get the desired result.

We secretly advanced towards the theatre with me leading. Our men that shot the darts did not join, and I wondered why. Was the Agk32 affecting our communication too?

We still advanced but weren’t together, so it would look like something other than an attack formation.
