Chapter 669 - First Attack - Part 2 (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang returned to the main camp where everyone had gathered. Mashal Alton, Vice Marshal Ashley and Aki, Legion Commander Moonsong, and Vice-Legion Commander Virion and Auron. They put their right hand on their left chest and bowed toward him as he entered the camp. ”We greet, Great Lord.”
”Mnn.” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and stood next to Marshal Alton. ”Have you prepared for our attack?”
”Yes, My Lord. Our first target would be Bareham City, the city that bordered Gigante Forest.” Marshal Alton nodded and pointed at the map on the table. Tang Shaoyang pretended to look at the map even though he could not read the map. ”We have sent a group of Elven Scouts to gather information.”
”From the information, the city is still in the hands of The Lionax Kingdom's nobles. However, the city lord left Bareham with his force when he heard the news about the Revolution Army. The Bareham City's defense is relatively lax, and we can send a General and three thousand armies to capture the city.” Marshal Alton shared his thoughts with Tang Shaoyang.
”As I said, I will trust my force to you, Marshal Alton. We will follow your plan if no one objects.” Tang Shaoyang scanned the other officers, and none of them objected to Marshal Alton's plan. ”That's good. Let's start the party, shall we?”

Goldien, the Golden Gator, looked at the city in front of him. He was the enemy of the Empire less than a week ago, yet now he had become a General of The Tang Empire to lead three thousand armies. He glanced at the beastmen and beast armies behind him, most of them relatively weak compared to the main force, but his armies were strong to the people who defended the city.
”We are ready to attack the city, General Goldien.” The Silver Gator came toward him and reported. The Silver Gator was Silver's successor who was killed by Tang Shaoyang, the new Chief of the Silver Gator Tribe, Roomba. He had become the Vice General, assisting Goldien to lead the army.
”Good, follow me.” Goldien walked toward Bareham's city gate and stopped fifteen meters away from the gate. ”Listen to me, the people of Bareham City! We came to capture Bareham City. If you don't want to die, open the gate and surrender!”
There was a squad guarding the gate from the top wall, a squad consisting of twelve people. They looked at each other for a moment before one of them looked at the Captain. ”What should we do, Captain? There's a monster outside; this never happened before.”
It had never happened before that a monster came out of Gigante Forest and attacked the city. At least, no monster had ever attacked Bareham City before. This was the first time because the guard was prioritized to check up on the hunters that came back from the forest rather than guarding the gate from the monster.
The Captain looked at the Golden Gator. Within a single glance, the Captain could tell that the gator was not weak. ”You guys wait here. I will report this to Lord Berth first.” Lord Berth, the guild leader of Hunter Guild after the noble left the city. He had taken over the city for almost a month. Of course, his position as the Guild Leader was not why people accepted him as the new lord. It was because Lord Berth was a newly ranked Epic Rank.
Lord Berth was the strongest person in the city after the noble family left the city, and people decided to follow him. Just like that, a new hierarchy was formed in Bareham City. The Captain ran to the City Lord Residence. He encountered two guards at the gate of the residence.
