Armipotent

Chapter 462 - Misleading Information

Commander Ashley led the march. She and her subordinates left Jinhua City at sunrise. She brought everyone, leaving no one to defend the city. Prince Kaidenʼs life was more important than the city, after all.

Knowing this was a trap, she did not rush her knights to preserve their stamina. Of course, their speed of walking was not slow either.

”Commander Ashley, we found the enemy.” Captain Fer reported. He was sent to scout the area forward.

”How many?” Commander Ashley inquired. If Juan said the truth, the enemy was supposed to be one Demon and two Undead.

”Four? Three humans and one beast.” Captain Fer pointed toward the sky. From where they were now, they could see two dots in the sky. One dot smaller to another.

”Are you sure they are the enemy? I thought our enemy is the Demon and the Undead? Call Juan over!” She ordered to bring the survivor knight.

Juan immediately rushed forward and heard the report. Captain Ferʼs report should not be wrong. Captain Fer was far more excelled in scouting than him.

”No, I did not see them…” the distance was too far hence Juan could not see the humanʼs features, ”I only saw a demon swordsman, and undead with two reavers, and an undead knight with a lance.”

Juanʼs description was too descriptive to be false. Commander Ashley was inclined to believe Juanʼs story. Of course, it did not mean Captain Fer was wrong either. It only meant that the demon and the undead connected to the people in the air.

”Have you found our peopleʼs remains?” Commander Ashley decided to ask for more information while she had a conjecture in her mind.

”I did find something, but rather than remain, itʼs our peopleʼs armor,” Captain Fer presented a part of wrecked armor, ”I found the wrecked armor, but I did not find their bodies. Juan said the truth, from the trace of the battle, our people got slaughtered one-sidedly.”

”Then the demon and the undead must be related to the Tang Empire,” Commander Ashley muttered, ”And those three are from the empire. They expected us to come after what happened yesterday. Then whereʼs the trap? Did you find any trap installed?”

”No, I am confident with my ability. Thereʼs no trap and thereʼs no ambush as well. In fact, within a three thousand meters area, there are no living beings but us and them.” Captain Fer continued.

”If they are the native of this world. The Tang Empire is making a contract with the demon and the undead to help them. If thatʼs what happened, we will trade the Prince for our four cities,” Commander Ashley told her Captain Knights what was in her mind.

”If they are not the native. We should get ready for battle. We have to fight them with our leaves and donʼt even dare one of you to reveal the Dimensional Gateʼs location!” A cold aura burst out from Commander Ashley, intimidating the other knights, forcing them to step backward.

”Donʼt worry about that, Commander Ashley. Our family lives behind the gate as well. We are not going to do something as stupid as that,” Captain Morris said to calm their Commander.

”But I am afraid of our Prince Kaiden will…” Captain Lucas did not finish their words, but everyone knew what he tried to imply.

While the knights could do that, it was not for the Prince. Especially, the youngest and pampered Prince.

”Letʼs hope we are facing the native then. They should not know about the existence of the Dimensional Gate and also another world. At least, not yet.” Commander Ashley let out a sigh. This was her mistake, a fatal mistake, thinking this was just a new world integrated with the Game. Now she had to pay this with a big price.

They lost a quarter of their forces and their prince was held as a hostage now.

”What should we do? Should we continue?” Captain Morris worriedly asked Commander Ashley. ”Thereʼs nothing we could do until they want to meet us. Letʼs advance! Captain Fer! You keep scouting the area, make sure to secure the area or let them ambush us!”

”Yes, Commander!” After saying that, Captain Fer left the group.

Tang Shaoyang smiled when he heard the surprised Li Shuang, ”No, itʼs not four, but three of us. You are not included unless you want to suicide. Just stay near me, understand?”

Li Shuang looked at the incoming knight and glanced at her man. She nodded her head.

”They are here, My Lord. Should we go down now?” Wen inquired as he saw the knights had stopped advancing. They also noticed them.

”Letʼs go!” Tang Shaoyang nodded and descended together with Wen. He landed twenty meters away from the knights of the Lionax Kingdom. He could feel that the uncomfortableness crept up all over his body.

He was sure at this time that these people could also use [Basic Detection] too and they used the skill on them, ”Enough!” His deep and furious voice echoed, as he subconsciously directed that to the knights.

The uncomfortableness immediately disappeared, indicating the knights had stopped casting the skill. And to his surprised, almost all knights drew their swords out with a few knights exception.

”Put your weapon down! Lower your weapon, I say!” Commander Ashley commanded her knights. With a great reluctance, the knights lowered their weapons.

”We are sorry for our rude behavior. We are not supposed to use [Basic Detection] on you, Emperor of the Tang Empire.” Commander Ashley stepped forward. She put her right hand on her chest and bowed toward Tang Shaoyang.

ʼThe Emperor of the empire is just level 700, they are the native of this world, not a force from another world,ʼ Commander Ashley took a conclusion, ʼbut wait, he had a second class…?ʼ

Commander Ashley was confused with this. From her basic knowledge, only Epic and higher could have the second class, ʼAlso, what with his second class? Primordial Slayer? Does that mean he could kill the Right-Wing Guardian and the Left-Wing Guardian?ʼ
