The Queen Rules

Chapter 6

"Elizabeth, make sure that you tell our strongest men to be on strong positions. Stacey, make sure every man is armed with the best we have. Chansey, you will be our detective in work. Any news you get should be immediately informed to me. Mirhiam, I am giving you and Ellina the responsibility of running the relief clinics. Make sure all our injured men get the best treatment."

Everyone kept nodding to me, with their serious faces on. I kept giving the vital information as Claire rushed towards me. "Your highness, the front leads are ready for the reclaim strategy." I smiled and started walking with her. I am glad, she decided to help us out during this time.

We were quickly making our way towards the front leads of our army. They were the ones, who had major roles to play throughout the battle. And I being the queen, needed to give them the reclaim strategy, so that they could make way for me or anyone else to get to the king.

"Sheldon, the grass bombs are ready?" I asked a man on the way. He nodded and I gave him a smile back in return. "Come on, come on everyone. Work hard, work fast. This is for the reputation of the kingdom of Lavaneia."

Everyone around me was busy in some or the other work. In minutes, I was in front of the front leads. They looked back at me with determination firm on their faces.

"Today, I want you all to forget that you are fighting for the kingdom. I want you all to take this fight personally. Imagine that if you don't win the fight, you lose your family. You lose everything. So this battle is everything for your life."

"Our main target is to make way towards the king. Their front leads are gonna be throwed by our grass bombs. And if some of them are left alive, fire bows will be thrown at them from the castle. I have my women assigned at some places from where they can keep an eye on each an every place on the battlefield. So, all I want to say is that you guys don't need to worry. Now, I ll show you all exactly where-where are the places you aren't supposed to enter."

With this, I opened the map and placed it on the table. All the front leads looked at the map so seriously that confidence of winning was now rising inside me.

"So now see. After their front leads, their middle troops have to be tackled firmly, otherwise, they will try to break through our defences. So, I have an idea. I want small groups of strong people to attack from all the sides on those middle troops. And that to at the same time. Those small groups will hear a loud noise from the castle. And as soon as the noise is heard, all the small groups will attack those middle troops from all the sides at the same time."

Everyone nodded and assured me of their fighting spirit. I smiled with confidence and continued,"After the middle troops are engaged in battle, tear gases will be left on the battlefield. So I want everyone to put the poison repellent antiseptic on their faces. If you feel threat, throw your sword in the air and keep defending while the special warriors assigned for threat situations will rush towards you and help you out."

"After the middle troops, the archers need to be taken care of. They are gonna throw fire bows as well, so I want you all to be careful and use your shields as much as possible. Hungry lions will be left for the archers and, additional jaguars will be left for the knights sitting on the elephants."

"I have already planned the defence strategy. In case of any threat to our defence, loud drums will be played. That's the moment, special groups will be deployed. They will help you all as well. The back troops will be tackled by our melee warriors, who are equipped with advanced weaponry. So, all I want from you guys is to believe in yourself. Have trust on your abilities. And I am always there with my detectives."

All had the winning determination on their faces. I put my hand forward and asked them for assurance. "Don't worry my lady, today, either I will die, or we will win. I promise."

A grin spread across my face and I knew, we weren't just going to lose the battle.

*************

The wind blew and they were strong. But that didn't stand in between me and win. I knew what I had to achieve and how to get that.

Both the armies were standing far away from each other. I couldn't see the king from this far but I knew that today I have to win the war anyhow. I had to prove that even a queen can defeat a king.

The loud drums were played and that's when both the armies screamed and started heading towards each other. I was sitting on my horse carrier and monitoring the whole situation. There were 2 groups secretly keeping an eye on me. If any threat even comes close to me, these 2 groups will be activated and will immediately come to protect me.

And with immense grit and passion, both the armies collided and now the war had begun. The war of integrity and determination.

And I wasn't going to just lose it.
