The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Siege 15

Zion followed, ascending with them, while Maxwell remained at the frontline, holding the line and providing support.

Without pause, Zion began issuing orders.

He quickly assessed the situation; one glance was enough to tell him this siege wasn’t isolated. If the eastern wall looked like this, then the others were surely faring no better.

He deployed the remaining warriors, some to reinforce the eastern wall, others to scatter across the camp and support the most pressured points.

Then, after personally ensuring the mages would reach Archmage Elric, Zion made his decision.

He would move to the other walls.

Maxwell... would be enough to hold this one.

Just as Zion landed atop the wall, ready to move, his gaze caught a familiar figure waiting on the platform.

Addison.

She had already seen that Maxwell was fully engaged on the eastern front, locked in relentless combat against the monsters and wild animals. There was no opening to speak with him, not yet. So instead, she turned her attention to Zion.

But Zion didn’t approach her immediately.

After what had happened at the mountain clearing, he couldn’t afford even the slightest lapse in caution. He had already decided that he would personally see the five mages delivered to Archmage Elric before doing anything else.

Because now, he was certain.

There was a spy among them.

He hadn’t voiced it outright, but the signs were too clear to ignore. The sudden mountain fire at their target location, appearing just moments before their arrival, couldn’t have been a coincidence. Someone had tipped off the enemy, giving them enough time to destroy the Night Luminous Daisies and sabotage their attempt to open the teleportation portal.

And when that plan failed...

The monster tide began.

Zion’s eyes darkened slightly.

To counter this, he had already taken precautions. He paired the warriors in twos, sending them to different locations so they could watch each other. If one of them was the spy, the other would act as a restraint, a witness. Any suspicious movement would be seen, and reported.

After all, if the spy tried to silence their partner, it would only confirm everyone’s suspicions.

Even without saying it aloud, Zion knew the sharper minds among them had already pieced things together. And now that suspicion existed, it would keep everyone on edge.

That was enough for now.

Which was why he wasn’t worried about sending warriors to reinforce other sections of the wall.

But the mages...

That was different.

What they carried wasn’t just important; it was essential. The success of the teleportation portal depended on them. And if the spy grew desperate enough, there was a chance they might make a move as a last resort.

That was a risk Zion refused to take.

So before anything else, before speaking, before moving to another battlefield—

He would make sure the mages arrived safely.
