Chapter 704 - Three-Ways Battle - Part 6
"As you predicted, my Lord, they put civilians to defend Yorke City and Ailo City." From the top west wall of Ailo City, Marshal Alton reported the situation. Thanks to this, it only took them half-day to conquer Astium City, Yorke City, and Ailo City. The civilians decided to surrender instead of fighting them, so they took that half-day for scouting to make sure no one was defending the city and the traveling time for the army.
"Mnn." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. "Then we will be waiting for the main force to come over, right? Then we will start a real war?"
"Yes. We will start the real war when the main force comes, but it will be ideal for us to start the attack tomorrow. We will scout the surrounding area first and plan everything out. I have sent a few groups of scouts, so yeah. we will wait, for now, My Lord." Marshal Alton nodded his head and followed his Lord\'s gaze, wondering what Tang Shaoyang looked at.
"What about me? Do I have to watch the whole thing again? This is quite boring, you know." Tang Shaoyang swayed his legs in the air.
"I am following your advice, My Lord. We have to let our forces fight themselves in order for them to get stronger. We can\'t join the fight unless the two Guardians or any Legend Rank join the fight." Marshal Alton shook his head. "Also, if possible, you should let me or other Legend Ranks face the Legend Rank. We also need to fight-"
"Nope, that\'s not possible." Before Marshal Alton finished his words, Tang Shaoyang cut him off. "I am not going to miss my chance to fight. Also, I am still Epic Rank, so I still need to kill those Legend Ranks to level up. I can\'t let myself get caught by you or the others."
Marshal Alton\'s mouth opened, but he did not say anything. He said the same thing before when he asked if Lord Tang Shaoyang had reached the rank above the Legend. His Lord claimed to be still Epic Rank even though he had lost to his Lord. Alton thought his Lord was hiding his real strength from him. \'But there\'s no need for him to lie to me even if he does not want to tell me, right?\'
"What? Do you think I am lying to you, Alton?" Thanks to his incredibly high Senses and his skill [Dragon Sense], Tang Shaoyang could feel the others\' feelings even though it was subtle. Tang Shaoyang could tell Marshal Alton did not believe his words.
Of course, he understood that completely. If he were in Alton\'s position, he would not believe that someone who defeated him was an Epic Rank. "Hmmm. How should I prove to you that I am still Epic?" Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. "I can\'t possibly show you my status screen because I haven\'t fully trusted you even with the oath."
"Ah, this can be proof that I am still at Epic Rank." Tang Shaoyang pointed at the sleeping lizard on his left shoulder. "Do you know this lizard is a dragon, right?" Marshal Alton looked at the sleeping golden lizard and swallowed mouthful saliva. He knew that the golden lizard was, in fact, a Golden Dragon who was suppressing its size. Even though it was still Infant Golden Dragon and Myth Rank, they talked about Dragon. If that Golden Dragon matured, it could be something scarier than the Kirin.
"This Golden Dragon is the bonus stage after clearing thirty waves of the Trial of the Epic. I have fought him and won the fight, so this guy begged for his life, so I formed a companion contract with this Golden Dragon." Tang Shaoyang told Marshal Alton the story behind how he got Wrath. "Ah, also, your ex-subordinates Roan, Tristan, and Carl can testify to it. I am entering the portal right in front of them."
"Oh, also, I am still level 2157. That\'s why I am telling you that I need to fight the Primordial Rank and the Legend Rank. I can tell you this much, and if you want to know more, you have to gain my full trust." Tang Shaoyang smiled. "Anything level 2500 is my prey."
At this point, Marshal Alton had to believe it even though it was hard to believe. He could not comprehend the situation where someone lower in rank and level could be stronger than him. \'Just how?\' That was what he wanted to know the most.
"Oh, once you come to Earth with me, my homeworld, you will understand why I can get this strong even though I am lower in level than you. You just have to wait until then." After saying that, Tang Shaoyang sensed something. He turned his head toward the open field and expanded his Spirit Eyes.
"Did you say that you have sent your team to scout the surroundings, right?" He asked Marshal Alton in a serious tone. "The surroundings mean the surrounding of Ailo City, right?"
Marshal Alton did not understand why his Lord asked this, but he thought Lord Tang Shaoyang just wanted to change the topic. "Yes, but not just Ailo City\'s surroundings, but also the main battlefield. From my prediction, they will finish and return by night."
"I don\'t think they will return by night." Tang Shaoyang stood up and pointed in the direction ahead of him. "It seems they return early, and they are in a hurry as well."
Marshal Alton followed the finger and looked in the same direction. He squinted his eyes, but he could not see anything. He thought Lord Tang Shaoyang was lying to him, but then he saw a dot. It was too far for him to get a clear look, but he noticed the incoming group. Alton was not sure if they were the scouts.
"They will eventually arrive here; let\'s wait for them below." Tang Shaoyang jumped off from the twenty meters wall. Even though Alton was not sure about it, he followed Tang Shaoyang to jump. They waited for the group in front of the closed gate.
Just like his Lord told him, the group was in a hurry as he could see the group with two minutes of waiting. He was surprised to see the scouting teams. The surprise was not because the scouting team returned early but because they returned in tattered armor. On top of that, just eight men returned from the thirty men group. It was clear the scouting team fought and lost, so they returned early.
As soon as the scouting noticed Marshal Alton, they jumped off the horse and knelt. "It\'s an emergency, Marshal Alton… The Revolution Army is coming to Ailo City."
