Velda gave a dry laugh. “What can | do? Most of the wolf generals here were once subordinates of her father. If
she wants to gain military merits on the battlefield, how many will go out of their way to help her? | don’t dare to
offend her.”
Ulrik nodded.
He had seen Adelaide’s fighting skills, but on the battlefield, skill alone wasn’t enough.
In such a melee, her skill could only help her kill a few more enemies.
How long had Adelaide been at the southern border?
Even if she had killed enemies in battle, it was impossible for her to have been promoted to Silver Claw Gamma
so quickly in such a major war.
There must be sfalsification involved. But Alpha Lance was willing to support her, and Ulrik and Velda had
no recourse.
“If we can’t fight her, can’t we at least avoid her?” Ulrik said with a mix of helplessness and melancholy.
Velda sneered, “Why should we avoid her? My merits were hard-earned. What is she?”
“What are you planning to do, Velda?” Ulrik asked.
“I won't do anything.” Velda said and turned to leave.)
Ulrik’s nose twitched, but he sensed no pheromone fluctuations.
However, three days later, discontent began to spread among the wolf warriors who had cto support the
southern border with Ulrik.
Rumors about Adelaide spread like an epidemic through the camp.
The warriors gnashed their teeth and whispered that Alpha Bentley’s daughter had beca Silver Claw

Velda’s wolf warriors kept stirring up emotions.
They said, “If you want to rely on bloodline, you might as well stay in the capital as an elegant lady. Why cto
the battlefield to compete for merits with us? We risk our lives to defend the nation, only for someone who does
nothing to beca general. It’s unfair!”
“It’s said that Alpha Lance is strict and fair in managing troops, but who would have thought he would favor her
and grant her such significant merits for nothing? What's the point of us fighting

“The Southern Border is in a dire situation. We've been rushing here without rest, with many wolf warriors not
getting a moment's respite, traveling day and night. Velda endured the pain of her old injuries flaring up,
unwilling to use the military doctor's medicine, worried about shortages at the front and willing to suffer in
silence.”
“Is that so? When Velda arrived here, Alpha Lance reprimanded her, saying she was jealous of Adelaide, and
handed over the Ironthorn Army to Adelaide’s command. A she-wolf driven out by her own pack is now in charge
of the undefeated Ironthorn Army. If this gets out, won't it be a laughingstock for our kingdom?”
“Exactly! Velda has established great merits at the Bloodscar Border with only three hundred wolves. Now
Adelaide, promoted by Alpha Lance, is even higher in rank than her.”
“What's the point of all'this hardship? Are we just stepping stones for others?”
Such rhetoric spread like poison, even causing ripples within the Ironthorn Army.
Despite the warriors’ fear of Lance's authority, they began to resist Adelaide's orders during training, eyeing the
temporary mark on the back of her neck with contempt.
Adelaide and her team, having focused on training plans for days, hadn't noticed the rumors among the
reinforcements.
Adelaide was puzzled by the Ironthorn Army's lack of cooperation.
When Alpha Lance had brought her there that day, the Ironthorn Army had shouted their obedience loud enough
to deafen everyone.
So, Adelaide put the training on hold and had Halbert and the others look into what had happened in the past
few days.
Halbert kicked open the tent door, his wolf claws clutching a crumpled anonymous leaflet. “Look at these
despicable words! They say Paisley is your Omega and that Avery and | are your ‘little lackeys‘!”
Paisley and the others were fuming with rage.
Paisley’s whip cracked against the table, sulfur pheromones erupting. “How dare they speak of me? I'm an
Alpha! Should | cut off their weapon supplies?”
Angela was equally enraged. “These scoundrels deserve a taste of my wolf's claw!”
“The worst is yet to come!” Paisley
unfolded the leaflet. “They claim
you've never killed ap €Nenty Gh that

Velda, who had commanded at the Bloodscar Border, couldn't be unaware of this.
“Are these rumors only circulating among the reinforcement wolf warriors?” she asked, her finger tapping the
Frostbite Town marker on the map.
Paisley, still furious, his already

Adelaide's brow furrowed further. Many seasoned warriors respected her.
If they knew she was being slandered, there might be more than just discussions-fights could break out.
