After completing all the papers for the day, now is the time for him to go into the training area to improve his fighting skills, besides this, he has to practice swordsmanship too.
Swordsmanship and horse riding aren't necessary for the soldier's two clans, but half of them are good at this. The two qualities are only compulsory to learn for the royal family members, thus for Alaric.
Even being good at all three things, he practices his swordsmanship and fighting skills in both of his forms on alternate days. And timely went for horse riding.
Before starting his training he decided to look for the knight's squad who will take the vampires to the capital.
He entered the training area with Freki, first, he went to the area where the knights were fighting in their wolf forms, the wolves were fighting in pairs with each other. Adolph was there, as the knight commander he has the responsibility to mentor other wolves' training, he was standing in his human form, seeing the two wolves from each pair fighting each other, carefully observing their attacks and helping them to improve.
Adolph noticed the two wolves coming toward him, and without disturbing the other wolves he went to them.
"His Highness.", Adolph said as he greeted them.
"Who are the ones who will be going to the capital?", Alaric asked Adolph.
"I will call them here.", Adolph said and called one man to order him.
"Stop."
Adolph looked at him.
"Take me to them, I want to see how much capable they are."
"Yes sir."
Adolph took the two of them showing them the wolves who will be part of the knight squad. There were a total of twenty knights who will be going to the capital, some of them were fighting in the wolf form and some were practicing with their swords.
Alaric wants to evaluate their skills, he wanted to know how good they are.
The transportation will be done with the help of wizards, a teleportation portal will be made by the wizards in the capital to take the vampire carriage and from there the knights have to take them to the royal palace. The vampires can try to escape and there can be people who will be waiting for the carriage to assassinate it. To stop this he needed skilled knights.
After doing that he went for his own sword training and Freki went back for other work.
*****
Alaric was done with his training and the rest of his remaining work.
The sun was about to set and now it is time for going to Count Rodriguez's manor.
After washing up and changing his clothes when he stepped out, he found Freki on his door.
"Now, is the time. Call everyone in front of the castle.", Alaric said as he walked with him through the hallway.
"I will inform everybody right now.", Freki said as he opened the mind link to Adolph and told him to gather everyone.
"Knight Commander Adolph Lupin, I want every knight to assemble, right now. Before we can reach down.", Freki said in mind link.
Adolph received the message and replied immediately.
"I received the message, I will immediately inform everyone.", Adolph said in mind link.
After that Adolph called every knight and gathered them in front of the castle.
Alaric and Freki reached their right on time. There was a hustle-bustle when the two reached there everyone wants to know the reason for collecting everyone. Alaric stood in front of them, everyone went silent and looked up at him.
Freki called out certain names from a list he was carrying and asked them to stand aside from the others, the list includes thirty wolves, including the twenty that will be going to the capital.
"The ones whose names are just called have to come with me and the rest has to ensure that not even a single soul leaves the castle.", Alaric announced loudly.
"Get ready to leave.", Freki said.
No one knows where they are going or for what reason except Alaric and Freki, and neither anyone asked.
Alaric saw the trope ready to leave, in front, there were two horses standing for him and Freki, He saw Adolph with the trope.
"Adolph, was your name on the list?", Alaric asked.
"His highness! I can't let you go alone.", Adolph said in a timid voice.
"I asked was your name on the list?"
"No."
"Leave right now, the knights left behind has to guard the house and make sure that no one leaves the castle. Do what is asked.", Alaric roared.
Adolph didn't say anything and left from there.
The troop went out leaving the castle behind, Freki guided the way to Count Rodriguez's manor.
The troop was now near the manor. Freki said everyone to stop, there he told everybody for what reason they were out for.
"Soldiers! Listen Carefully.", Freki roared.
Everyone went silent and focused their ears on him.
"We are here to catch vampires. We will be heading to Count Rodriguez's manor. It's been informed to us that the Count is hiding a lot of vampires under his roof. We have to catch every vampire alive and have to arrest the Count right in the mansion. Make sure not even a single vampire is left out. Is there any question?"
Everyone remained silent.
"Now, let's go."
Now Alaric was in the front, everyone followed him and the troop barge in the Count's manor.
