Chapter 704 - Three-Ways Battle - Part 6 (1/2)
”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.”
