"I feel like we are being cheated," Carl said after Tang Shaoyang came out of the room, "An Emperor my ass, he's just alone and he dreams to destroy a kingdom. This is ridiculous, Tristan! Don't tell me you believe him? Not only that, now he suspected our friend just because Jacob did not make that stupid oath!"

"Then do you have other choices? We have made the oath and signed the Contract System," Tristan took a sip of the coffee, "Moreover, his plan is working well so far. A fight will break between the Revolution Army and the kingdom. We can use this to our advantage. No matter who wins the battle, they would be weakened and that's the time for us to strike them. It is a solid plan."

"Don't tell me you think that he can conquer the Gigante Forest? Commander Alton, who had reached Primordial by that time also failed to do so. Do you think he can? He is at best Ancient Level," Roan looked at his friend with a confused look.

Tristan shrugged, "It does not matter actually. If he failed, that means he is dead, and the oath and the system contract will get canceled. If he succeeds then we can hope for our vengeance! The kingdom who tried to kill their heroes and the ungrateful army we have been raised in, all of them deserved this death!"

"I guess you are right about that," Roan nodded. Either way, there was nothing to lose for them. If Tang succeeded then they could think of the vengeance they had been waiting for. If Tang failed and died, the contract and the oath would be canceled. This was a gamble with no risk.

Julius Brent, the leader of the Revolution Army and also the disciple of Commander Alton was leading a meeting with the head of the Malone Family and the head of the Ambrose Family. He was seated in a similar room albeit this room was dimmed and lackluster compared to the real throne hall of the Lionax Kingdom.

On both sides, there were ten people each, attending the meeting. Each of them was a General who had their force, including Derekh Malone and Duran Ambrose. In total, the Revolution Army had thirteen forces in total including Julius Brent's army, it was around eighty thousand forces in total. Of course, to avoid the suspicion from the kingdom, the force was sparsely positioned. Hiding eighty thousand armies was not easy yet now their existence was discovered because of the two people.

"Do you have something to say? Derekh! Duran!" Julius's dignified voice rang in the dimmed room as an aura of Myth suppressed the two people who stood in the middle of the room. The aura forced Duran and Derekh to kneel.

"We did not kill Prince Kaiden with poison. His death has nothing to do with us!" Derekh Malone replied with his shaky voice.

"The culprit must be the man from another world. There was a man that the expedition force brought from the Dimensional Gate, he must be the culprit!" Duran Ambrose supported Derekh Malone's claim.

"I did not ask you about who was killing Prince Kaide. I am asking you how Prince Kaiden knows about our existence! Who leaked that to that spoiled prince!?" Julius raised his voice as the aura of Myth suppressed the two men further.

There was no reply from the two men. Duran and Derekh did not know as well how Prince Kaiden could know about the Revolution Army. They had nothing to answer this.

"Hah…" As the sigh escaped from Julius' mouth, the aura vanished, "Don't tell me this is related to the missing knights and your daughter, Duran Ambrose!?" All eyes directed toward Duran. The ten people around them were Ancient Rank. Duran and Derekh were the weakest individuals in the room.

With the pressure on him, Duran did not dare to raise his gaze to meet with Julius. He could feel the scorns were directed toward him. He was supposed to be the highlight in this room if his daughter married Prince Chandler and became an insider that informed them about the Royal Family. If that happened, Julius Brent promised to help him to advance to Ancient Rank. But thanks to that whore, that plan was ruined.

"I will give you a chance, Duran and Ambrose. Jacob sent me a message that your daughter and a man have arrived at Biaska Town. It seems your daughter is following that man willingly instead of being kidnapped. Do you know the meaning of this, Duran?" Julius spoke in a gentler tone this time.

"I know nothing about that, Lord Julius," Duran truly did not know that her daughter betrayed him until last night. He was telling the truth about the issue.

"Then, I will give you one more chance! You should know what you two should do, right?" Julius gave the two men an order.

"Yes, Lord Julius. We will bring that man and Ashley to you." Derekh Malone and Duran Ambrose replied simultaneously.

"Good, if you understand! Now you can leave and return with the good news. I don't want to hear excuses when you two return!" Julius waved his hand at the two, telling them to leave.

"Yes, My Lord!" The two replied and stood up. Then the two turned around and headed out of the room, "Now, let's get to the real talk. We have to gather all our force and be ready to battle against the kingdom. We will gather in the north, if the news of the Revolution Army spreads to the south, we can trust General Allan to split their force of the Lionax Kingdom," Julius Brent expressed his plan.

General Allan, the ex-Vice Commander of the Fotia Legion who joined the Lezaria Kingdom. Julius was talking about him as it was known to everyone that this man joined the Lezaria Kingdom with a hope to destroy the Lionax Kingdom who was under the rule of the Kingsley Family.

If the news that the Revolution Army appeared on the north side of the Lionax Kingdom spread out, Julius was confident that General Allan would use this chance to attack the south border. The plan was simple, he intended to split the Lionax Kingdom's force.

Tang Shaoyang did not care who would win the war as it did not matter to him. Whoever won the war, would benefit him as it would weaken both sides' strength. The reason Julius Brent did not see him as a threat was that he was alone. Even though Julius could see what Tang Shaoyang planned in the Gigante Forest, he did not see it as a threat because even his Master failed to unite the forest, let alone a man from another world.

While everyone thought it was impossible to unite the force within the Gigante Forest, Tang Shaoyang was not discouraged in the slightest. The reason? It was simple, if he could not build a force from living creatures, then he would use the dead to build a Spirit Army. He would slaughter all tribes within the forest and summon the spirits.

"Where do you lead me to, Aki?" Tang Shaoyang asked as he followed Aki and Nol who was still clinging to Aki's back.

"I am leading you to the weakest tribe in the outer region of the Gigante Forest. They are called the Pallarmus Tribe and they are the nearest tribe to our location," Aki explained.
