The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 535

Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Siege 2

Soon, they arrived at the animal pens.

Several veterinarians from different packs had already gathered there, examining the animals and discussing the situation among themselves.

"How are the farm animals?" Addison asked directly the moment she arrived.

As soon as the veterinarians saw her, they immediately bowed in respect. But when they lifted their heads, their expressions were heavy with worry.

Seeing their troubled faces made Addison’s frown deepen.

A faint sense of dread crept into her chest as she waited for them to speak.

At the moment, Levi was still busy directing the warriors, emptying the temporary storage and loading the crops onto the carts, so he couldn’t leave his post to come check on the animal pens.

But Addison couldn’t help thinking about the situation.

’What could our enemies possibly gain from making the farm animals sick?’

At first, it seemed pointless.

But then another thought crossed her mind.

If the animals grew sick... and eventually died...

It would mean a severe loss of livestock.

For the werewolves, who were naturally carnivorous, meat was essential to maintaining their strength and vitality. Without enough meat, their muscles would weaken, their bodies would deteriorate, and their overall combat ability would decline.

And if that happened...

They might not even have the strength to defend the kingdom if enemies attacked from the borders.

As this possibility formed in her mind, Addison felt her heart grow heavier.

It was as if she had just uncovered the true reason behind the sabotage.

"Reporting to the Princess," one of the older veterinarians began respectfully. "We have already examined all of the farm animals."

The elderly man was the most experienced among them. Over the years, he had dealt with countless livestock diseases and outbreaks that could easily wipe out entire herds if left unchecked.

"But from what we’ve observed," he continued, his expression grim, "the animals appear to be suffering from symptoms similar to swine flu. However, this illness is far more severe."

Addison’s expression grew colder as she listened.

"It doesn’t only cause fever," the veterinarian explained. "It also seems to attack their respiratory and digestive systems simultaneously, almost as if their bodies are experiencing multiple organ failure."

He paused before continuing.

"At the moment, we still haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the disease. But based on the symptoms we’ve seen so far... it’s extremely deadly. If left untreated, the majority of the livestock could die from it."

Mary’s face immediately turned pale.

"But," the veterinarian added quickly, "because we discovered the symptoms early, we still have some breathing room. If we can study the illness quickly enough, we may be able to develop a treatment method with at least a forty-five percent chance of success. That might be enough to prevent the animals from dying in large numbers."

As the elder finished speaking, Addison fell silent.

The answer to the suspicion growing in her mind now seemed to be lying right in front of her.

’So I was right...’

The enemy’s target wasn’t just the camp.

They were aiming for the livestock.

It was not only the animals.

Even the grains and vegetables they had spent so much effort gathering are also at stake.

If those resources were destroyed, it would cripple the werewolves’ food supply and weaken the entire kingdom.

But one question remained.

How did the enemy do it?

Perhaps a slow-acting poison that had been secretly administered over time by the spy within their ranks, something that could be triggered now to push the camp into panic and chaos.

Not long ago, she had even given a portion of their livestock to Leon’s tribe, which meant the number of animals available for their own consumption had already decreased. If they lost more livestock now, it could easily lead to an insufficient food supply for the entire kingdom.
