Chapter 614 – Taking Over Gigante Forest – Part 5

"Put your spear down!" The catgirl immediately ordered her comrades to step down, and their mission was to talk, not fight. Even so, the man's words triggered her too, but she could control her emotion well and did not show it to Tang Shaoyang.

"Calm down, you two! Remember our task and don't disappoint, The Chief!" She added with a clear tone. Her yellow eyes remained looking at Tang Shaoyang. "Since you know our Leader, you should know his power as well. Do you think you can win against him?"

"I see, so you know we are targeting the Beast Coven." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and glanced at Aki. His gaze told the rat beastment that there was someone who ratted out their plan to the Beast Coven.

"I know how strong your leader is, but do you know how strong I am?" He shook his head at those words. They were trying to intimidate him with Alton's past glory, and that method would never work on him.

"This talk is not going anywhere.. You are wasting my time now. Do you still have something to talk about with me? If you don't have anything else, you can leave. We will meet again on the battlefield." Tang Shaoyang had no intention to kill these three. If he killed these three, it would be hard for him to subdue the Beast Coven.

The catgirl observed the man's calm expression for a moment before getting up. "Let's leave." The two panther heads were still glaring at him. Even though he told the truth, the two beastmen still resented him for what he said about their leader.

As the emissaries left the house, Aki approached him. "It's okay for them to go like that, Great Lord? Shouldn't we kill them instead, so they can't inform the Beast Coven that we are attacking them?"

The rat beastmen was quite concerned, and he thought it would be better to catch The Beast Coven in surprise instead of openly attacking the Beast Coven. No matter what, the Beast Coven was still the four great tribes.

"It doesn't matter. If we kill the emissaries, it would be hard to force the Beast Coven to surrender. They would fight to their last breath instead of surrender to us, and our purpose is to conquer them, not slaughtering them." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at Aki. "Get the army ready. We will move in ten minutes."

Just like Aki predicted, they reached the Beast Coven's territory within a day trip. Within that one day, Tang Shaoyang's force increased as more tribes joined under his wing.

Tang Shaoyang stopped at the border of the Beast Coven's territory. Just like Aki told him, the Beast Coven was prepared to welcome them, and the Beast Coven's force blocked their advance at the border.

Tang Shaoyang immediately noticed the Chief of the Beast Coven, confirming his conjecture that the leader of the Beast Coven was indeed a human. An old man with long white hair and wrinkles on his face, even so, the old man's posture was not that weak of an old man.

Despite his age, the old man radiated a strong aura. Tang Shaoyang could see the blazing mana from the old man, indicating the old man was not normal. He tried to use [Basic Detection], but it did not work. So he was clueless if the old man had reached Legend Rank or still Primordial Rank.

'Is he your Commander Knight, Rosalie?' He asked The Flame Empress for affirmation the old man was Commander Alton.

—I barely recognize him, but he is indeed Alton, and the person next to Alton is Allan, one of the Vice Commanders of the Fotia Legion, Vice Commander Allan.

—I don't think we can still get old even with the system. I thought we will remain young as long as we had high attributes.

Rosalie confirmed the old man was Alton, but she brought a surprise with her. It was the fact Vice Commander Allan was also with Alton. Ashley told him that Allan was joining the kingdom in the south or something, and he forgot the name of that kingdom.

The following response was from Crystal. She was supposed to be close friends with these Commanders as well.

—What are you going to do with them? I hope you don't kill them.

Rosalie requested Tang Shaoyang not to kill the two old men as she was well aware they were doing this for her. They wanted to avenge her for what The Kingsley Family had done to her.

'It depends on them, not me. If they are willing to work under me, then I don't mind taking them with me. However, if they insisted on fighting to the last breath, then I don't have other choices but to kill them.' That was Tang Shaoyang's response. Of course, he did not mind additional Primordial Rank or even Legend Rank subordinates.

—Summon Crystal and me, let us talk with them. I think we can convince Alton and Allan to be your subordinate.

Rosalie had an idea in her mind, and she thought this was the best idea to resolve the issue without fighting.

'That's the worst idea since they are your loyal knights. They might think I am forcing your spirit to stay behind even though you are already dead, and that might worsen the situation.' He repeatedly refused this kind of idea, even when Crystal asked him to talk with the head of the Ambrose Family.

—Because they are loyal to me, you should let me meet them. They will listen to me, and you can absorb The Beast Coven's full force. Just let Crystal and me try it.

Rosalie did not want her loyal knights to be killed by Tang Shaoyang, even though she did not know how strong the two had become. However, no matter how strong they were, Rosalie felt that Tang Shaoyang was still much stronger than them, hence she tried to meddle this time.

"Since you insist…." That was the best scenario if he did not have to fight, but he did not mind fighting the Beast Coven either, and they could become experiences and sacrifices for him.

Tang Shaoyang then summoned Rosalie and Crystal to meet their old friends. "You better convince them, or else I have to kill them."
