Chapter 529 - Against The Epic, Demon Re-Appearance? - Part 3

Finding a safe spot for the knights and their families was not an issue. They just needed to hide them farther from the place where they would attack the knight. Away from the battlefield so they would not get involved in the fight. Tang Shaoyang would not use them to fight against the knights under the Malone Family and the Ambrose Family. It was just the same as throwing their lives away since the knights would hesitate to kill their friends.

However, to his surprise, Captain Knight Morries came to him when they were about to depart, ”Let us join the fight as well, Sir. Even though we are small in number, we believe that we can become a help for you to fight them,”

??

”Do you know who we will fight against?” Tang Shaoyang wondered if they knew who they would fight. Just in case they did not know, ”Yes, we will be fighting against Lord Duranʼs knights,” Captain Knight Morris replied. By how quick his response was, the Captain Knight seemed to be aware of who they would fight against.

”I donʼt know why you want to fight your ex-comrades, but your duty is to protect your family. If you want to fight, it would be later, not now,” If these knights wanted to follow him into the Gigante Forest, then he did not mind bringing them with him. But not for this battle. He did not want the past feelings to affect them and They would end up dying. Why would he save them if they died in the battle now?

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang turned around and left the area with his spirits. They were heading to the Ambrose Family and the Malone Familyʼs camp. From Aerelionʼs information, they seemed to be waiting for more of their knights to arrive. If he was right, their goal would be Biaska Town, him and Ashley.

”So that bald old man is really a spy of the Revolution Army?” Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. He did not expect Jacob to really be a spy of the Revolution Army. If the other three found out about this, he wondered what reaction they would make.

As for why he could tell directly that Jacob was the spy now, it was because only the four old knights knew he and Ashley were wanted by the Revolution Army or to be specific the Malone Family and the Ambrose Family were the ones who looked for him, ”But why? Shouldnʼt they focus more to fight against the kingdom? Why would they send ten thousand knights to hunt us? We are not that important for them to split their ten thousand force? Donʼt tell me they feel threatened by me?”

If the Revolution Army had not made their move yet. It was logical for the two families hunting for him because he had information that could screw their cover. However, the Revolution Army had shown themselves, there was no need for them to hunt him and Ashley as the winner would be decided on the battlefield now.

”We will know about that when we meet them,” Ashley was the one who responded to his question. Tang Shaoyang was surprised to see her here, ”Are you fine? I donʼt think you are in the right mind to join the battle,” He was concerned with the girl after their early conversation.

”No, I am fine. I have decided what I want to do with my future. I think your future will be my future now. Selena was right, I have a new family and also a new home to fight for now,” That was Ashleyʼs answer. Her voice was firm and there was no longer hesitation in her tone.

”Lord Duran! Lord Derekh! Our scout found a small group heading toward our direction!” The scout in leather armor reported.

”A small force? Are they from Biaska Town?” Derekh thought that the Mayor of Biaska Town had found out about their movement and sent their people to negotiate. It was normal since ten thousand was an overwhelming force even for a city let alone a small town such as Biaska Town.

”No, they are coming from the opposite direction and…” The scout was hesitating to finish his report, ”What!? Speak!” Derekh Malone raised his tone, causing the scoutʼs body to shudder, ”We found Lady Ashley within the group,” the scout finished his report with his shaky voice.

”Donʼt you dare to call her Lady Ashley!” When the name was brought up, Duran Ambrose rose and pointed his index finger at the scout. The poor scout immediately knelt with his head touching the floor, ”This subordinate asks for your forgiveness, Lord Duran!”

”Remember this, she is no longer Lady of the Malone Family or even the Ambrose Family. She is a whore, yes, from now onward you should address that woman, a Whore! Understand!?” Duran Ambroseʼs deepened voice rang inside the tent.

”I understand, My Lord.” The scout responded quickly as he was afraid that he would lose his head from offending one of the two Lords, ”We found Whore Ashley with a man, demons, undead, mage, beast, and orc. The group composed of twelve individuals,”

When they heard the formation of the group, a frown formed on the two lordsʼ forehead. But then the two Lordsʼ eyes widened in shock when they realized there was a demon, ”Demon? Are you sure itʼs a demon?” Derekh Malone questioned the scout with an urgent tone.

”Y-yes, we found two demons in the group,” The scout did not dare to delay his reply. His answer was instant.

Duran Ambrose and Derekh Malone exchanged glances, ”Does Demon Race back them up?” Derekh Malone was shocked when he came up with his question. If what he said was what happened right now, that meant the demon race was going to make their move again. Even though the empires and the kingdoms in the main continent had sealed the gate toward the Underworld. There was the remnant of the demon race left behind and they were aware that the demon still existed until now. However, this was the first they heard about demons in the Ortis Continent after the great war.

”We should report this to Lord Julius right now. We should send a group to report. They are in Aram and not far from here,” Derekh Malone immediately voiced his thoughts. The word demon dreaded him even more even though it was just two demons. To Derekh Malone, the demon was the existence that should not exist in this world. They were the worst.

”No, donʼt!” Duran Ambrose called out, ”Donʼt report it to Lord Julius. I have a better way to recover our position in the Revolution Army and it is related to this demon,” he had a different thought than Derekh Julius.

”What do you mean? Donʼt you dare to play with fire, Duran? We are talking about demons here!” Derekh Malone raised his voice.

”I know, but itʼs just two demons. This is a chance for us to redeem ourselves, Derekh. We can kill them and present the demon to Lord Julius. The demon corpses can be a key to create chaos within the kingdomʼs force. What if the people hear that the Royal Family is working together with the demon? What do you think will happen?” Duran Ambrose smiled slyly.

When Derekh Malone heard that, his eyes shone. That was a brilliant idea to plant the seed of the doubt so they could create chaos within the nobles. Just like Duran said, they might have a chance to redeem their position within the Revolution Army.
