Chapter 663 - Taking Over Gigante Forest - End
The plan to take over Gigante Forest went well. The Tang Empire\'s name quickly spread like wildfire in Gigante Forest. Especially with the fall of the two great tribes and the two great tribes that had become the Tang Empire\'s vassal. Most of the tribes surrendered to the Tang Empire\'s force, but there were always stubborn tribes that refused to surrender.
When a tribe refused to surrender, the Tang Empire would send their army to force the tribe to surrender. Just like what happened today, The Empire sent a force to conquer the Steel-Hide Bear Tribe.
However, Steel-Hide Bear was quite unfortunate because The Emperor visited their territory by himself. Screams rang within the Steel-Hide Bear Tribe\'s village as The Emperor watched the battle unfold from the air. He was floating in the air while his right was holding the Chief of The Steel-Hide Bear.
Below him, a group of a hundred Elven and his spirit army crushed the Steel-Hide Bear Tribe\'s force. Of course, it was a one-sided battle where the Elven\'s arrow easily pierced the steel hide and disabled them. Yes, they did not kill a single Steel-Hide Bear; they were taking them down alive.
"W-we su-surrender…" The Steel-Hide Bear\'s Chief managed to utter those two words after great difficulty. "W-we wi-will… s-serve The Tang Empire."
"You should surrender from the start not to waste our time." Tang Shaoyang released his grip on the Steel-Hide Bear Tribe\'s Chief. He was thirty meters in the air, and he estimated the bear would not die falling from this height.
Dump!
The noise of the big bear falling on the ground resounded, and an Elven came over to make sure the Steel-Hide Bear Tribe\'s Chief did not die. She let out a relieved sigh when the bear was still alive. "You should stay at home if you are not interested in helping us!" Aleesa shouted from below.
Yes, the one who led the Elven was Aleesa, and her older sister, Ava, also joined the Tang Empire\'s military force. No one knew why the former Elven Queen joined the Tang Empire\'s military force, but people guessed it was because of her husband and son. Both sisters were Captain and a Vice-Captain of a hundred people group.
The Elven Elder acted boldly in front of her husband now. After seven days of living together with him, she finally got used to him and became bolder by the day. She dared to speak with him casually like Ashley and Selena, even in front of others. However, her husband had not bedded her yet, and she had been sleeping with Selena and Ashley.
—We found human prisoners, My Lord. What should we do about them?
Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at Aleesa as he heard the report from Orleans. "Tell me the location?" After saying that, he disappeared and appeared again in front of a tree with a door. The Steel-Hide Bear made their house from the giant tree. In front of the door, Orlean was waiting for him.
The Demon Prince opened the door for Tang Shaoyang before they entered together. There were rows of cells inside the building. Just like Orlean told him, the cells were filled with prisoners; all of them were human. When the prisoners saw Tang Shaoyang, they rushed toward him. "Sir! Please save us!" They were calling to save them, but Tang Shaoyang ignored all of them until he reached a cell with unusual prisoners.
The other prisoners were in armor, but the group in this cell had a noble outfit. When he stopped in front of the cell, a boy around eleven or twelve stepped up. The boy stood in front of him, guarding the people behind him. "Come back, Dean!" A lady with orchid-colored hair tried to pull the boy with her. "Please forgive my son, Great Lord. He did not intend to fight you."
The woman was cautious around Tang Shaoyang instead of seeking help. She had not lost her reason yet. The man might look like a human, but he had a demon servant. No matter how she thought about it, the man was not part of the Lionax Kingdom. They might be part of the Revolution Army or, worse, the remnant of the Demon Race.
"It seems you are in charge of these people?" Tang Shaoyang looked at the woman who tried to pull the boy and hide the scared girl behind her. He pointed at the other prisoners. "Who are you? Where are you from? Are you a noble of the Lionax Kingdom?"
"We don\'t oblige to answer you!" The lady replied firmly. Instead of pointlessly arguing with the lady, Tang Shaoyang summoned a Slayer Blade. The dark-red blade floated next to him as he pointed at the boy. "Just to make sure that you know your situation. I can kill the boy if you refuse to answer me. And if you still refuse to answer me, I will kill the girl behind you. And if you still refuse to answer me, I will kill them one by one in front of you."
The boy\'s body trembled when he heard his ruthless threat. The lady\'s eyes also wavered in front of the threat. At this moment, a man stood up. "I am sorry, Sir. I will answer all of your questions. Please don\'t harm them."
"My name is Yoman, and I am the butler of the Rosikh Family of Aram City. She is the Rosikh family\'s Mistress, and he is the head of The Rosikh Family." Yoman introduced the boy as the head of The Rosikh Family.
Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes and coldly glared at Yoman. "Do you take me as a fool? Is this kid the head of a noble family?"
"I am not tricking you, Sir. The Rosikh Family lost their territory to The Revolution Army, and The Rosikh Family\'s head lost his life to the Revolution Army." Yoman earnestly explained. "We were fleeing from Aram City, but we encountered The Steel-Hide Bear\'s tribe on the way back to The Rosalie Capital. We tried to fight our way, but The Steel-Hide Bear Tribe was too strong for us."
"I see." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. "Though you all are looking weak, maybe Alton can make something out of you all. You have two choices, die right now or join The Tang Empire?" He then yelled for all the prisoners to hear.
As soon as he said that, murmurs broke amongst the prisoners. Most of them were talking about The Empire they had never heard before.
"Tsk, you should explain things first before asking them to join like that." The door opened, and Aleesa entered while shaking her head. As soon as she appeared, the jail went into uproar because of Elven\'s appearance.
"The Tang Empire is the Empire that rules Gigante Forest. The Elven, The Moonlight Tribe, The Beast Coven, The Dark Tribe, and The Guardian Beast Kirin have joined The Tang Empire," Aleesa briefly explained. "He is the Emperor of The Tang Empire, Lord Tang Shaoyang."
All the prisoners gasped in shock when those big names were mentioned. If Aleesa was not an elf, they would not believe it. However, since it was the prideful elf who told them that, it was most likely true.
"Just like Lord Tang Shaoyang said. We don\'t take prisoners; either you join us, or we will kill you all! Make your choice!" Aleesa added.
"I will leave them to you." After saying that, Tang Shaoyang left the jailhouse. When he reached outside, he looked at the bright sky and muttered. "This is the last tribe… We will start the attack in two days."
