Chapter 632 – Taking Over Gigante Forest – Part 12

Tang Shaoyang turned around and saw Allan in front of Alton's cell. This one was in much worse condition than Alton. Of course, the worse condition was not from the torture but the fight against Bronson. However, Tang Shaoayng still glanced at Zara while the latter shook her head. "I did not do anything to this guy."

Allan had both his legs broken, and his hands were in much worse condition as he could see the bone. He laid down on the stone bed with his back soaked by the water. The water reached his ears level, but Allan stayed. It was not like he could do anything either in his condition.

"Bronson won this dominantly against the Primordial Rank Knight?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised that the Executioner could overpower the Primordial Rank. This only boosted his confidence that taking over the Ortis Continent was just a matter of time. There was nothing to be worried about with his current force.

'If my plan goes smoothly, this continent is mine for sure.' The plan he was talking about was the Moonlight Tribe and The Elven. If he could take over these two tribes' forces, then Gigante Forest was his. He could deploy all the beastmen and beasts to attack the three kingdoms. By that time, the Lionax Kingdom should have been weakened after their war against the Revolution Army. Things went in the right direction for him.

"Heal him first." Tang Shaoyang gestured to Selena to heal Allan. It was a surprise that Allan was still alive in his condition. Then he recalled Bronson's early title, Knight Slayer. Bronson seemed to hate the knights, so he was incredibly cruel to the knight opponents he faced so far.

"I don't deserve to be alive. Just kill me." A faint voice came from the old knight. Allan had his eyes open all the time, enduring the pain from all over his body. He felt he deserved all of this after what he did to Crystal. The Kingsley Family used the Fotia Legion to destroy the Ambrose Family, and he participated in that battle since he thought Crystal was the one who killed Queen Rosalie.

After learning the truth, he was feeling guilty all the time to Crystal. Now he had a second chance to ask for forgiveness, but instead of asking for forgiveness, he hurt Crystal, who tried to save them from Tang Shaoyang. After learning all of that, Allan felt like he did not deserve to be alive anymore.

"Is that all you can say?" Tang Shaoyang looked at the old knight as he raised his hand, gesturing to Selena to stop healing Allan. "After you learn the truth, you decide to run away?"

"I basically killed her two times. What do you want me to do!?" Allan screamed; his voice echoed in the dungeon. His eyes filled with guilt and suffering.

"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes. He thought there was more understanding here. While Allan defeated Crystal, he did not kill her for the second time since the spirit could not die unless through the sacrifice. Of course, there might be another way to kill the spirit, but he did not know. In the end, Crystal was still alive as a spirit. 'Unless Rosalie did not tell him that spirit could not die?'

"Did Rosalie tell you that Crystal died?" Tang Shaoyang glanced at Alton, who just came out of the cell. Alton made a downcast expression and lowered his head. The same as Allan, Alton's expression was overwhelmed with guilt as well.

"I see, but that's the right punishment for you two." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and summoned Crystal. He revealed to the two old knights that Crystal did not die. "It seems Rosalie did not tell you that a spirit could not die."

Alton raised his head and looked toward Crystal, and Allan also turned his head toward Tang Shaoyang. They saw Crystal with her usual expressionless face. "I don't think I will see you two in this condition, but you kind of deserve this." Those were her first words for the two old knights.

Alton's eyes widened to maximum stretch, for he did not expect to see Crystal again. When Queen Rosalie met them in the dungeon, she was crying in front of them, and he thought Crystal was truly dead, dead. Then the old knight recalled Tang Shaoyang's words. 'Indeed, we deserve this kind of punishment, being overwhelmed with guilt.'

"I think you find your reason to live, Old Man." Tang Shaoyang spoke to Allan, who was trying to move his body. "Stay alive and help me to revive her. That's the best way to pay for what you have done to her." After saying that, he signaled Selena to heal Allan.

The Primordial Rank Knight did not spout any nonsense again after that. He allowed himself to be healed, which took some time for Selena to heal Allan. After that, Allan stood up and knelt toward Tang Shaoyang. "This Allan is grateful to you to reunite us again. From today onward, Allan Alladrice will dedicate his life to serve The Emperor of The Empire of Tang…."

Tang Shaoyang obtained two of the strongest knights' loyalty in the Ortis Continent. After that, they proceeded with the ceremony oath. After the ceremony oat was done, Tang Shaoyang glanced at Alton. "Now, tell me about The Elven? Are they worth the trouble to be part of my Empire? Or should we just destroy them?"

Aside from the information about the elf from Lu An and Yu Shun, Tang Shaoyang knew nothing about this elf. Like how strong they were, for example. Just like he thought, Elven's arrogance might cause trouble within his Empire. Not he was afraid of the external trouble, but the internal strife.

As soon as Lusha came out of the dungeon, she rushed in one direction as fast as possible. Oftentimes, she would stop to make sure no one was tailing her. After a few stops, she realized that The Tyrant did not send anyone to follow him. Then she remembered his threat. If her tribe did not answer him in two days, he would bring the war to them.

Thinking about the war, Lusha's body shuddered. It was not that she did not believe in her tribe's strength, but the Guardian Beast's presence was enough to scare her. On top of that, there was another individual that was not less scary than the Guardian Beast, the Angel. Additionally, there was also The Tyrant who managed to force the Guardian Beast to follow him. 'How strong is he?'

Lusha shook her head and picked up her pace. 'It's not the time to think about that. I have to report this to Chief Moon immediately.'

After non-stop running, Lusha arrived at the giant wooden wall. Behind this wall was the Moonlight Tribe's territory. She charged toward the gate and banged the wooden gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"It's me, Lusha! Open the gate immediately!" She kept shouting while banging the gate with her fist. "This is an emergency! Open the gate immediately!

The gate opened as a squad of seven Moonlight Warriors rushed toward Lusha, fully armed. But they immediately lowered their weapons at the sight of Lusha.

"Lusha? Where's the other?" One Moonlight Warrior approached and asked.

"It's not the time for that, Captain. I have a report for Chief Moon about the war between The Tyrant and The Beast Coven.. I have to meet Chief Moon now!" Lusha shook her head and urged the Moonlight Warrior to let her in.
