Chapter 705 - Three-Ways Battle - Part 7

”What? The Revolution Army is coming!?” Marshal Alton was surprised to hear the report. He did not expect the Revolution Army to attack them after leaving three cities defenseless.

Marshal Alton quickly realized something. ”They might leave traps inside the city.” He was alarmed with a sudden realization. ”You guys have a rest and get yourself healed. I have to check the whole cityʼs condition.”

”Mnn, you can go and check the city for the possible traps. I will hold the Revolution Army if they come.” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at Marshal Alton.

Marshal Alton bowed his head at Tang Shaoyang and rushed into the city. ”Donʼt do anything to the Revolution Army, My Lord. We have to use our soldiers to fight them!” The old man did not forget to remind Tang Shaoyang.

Marshal Alton believed that Lord Tang Shaoyang could take care of the Revolution Army by himself, but that would not be good for their force. They have to increase the Tang Empireʼs force strength by this war.

The scout team stilled when they heard how Marshal Alton addressed the man in front of them. Not everyone had seen the Emperorʼs face, and the scout team was the part who had not seen the Emperorʼs face. They did not know what to do when they faced the Emperor.

The knights and scouts had heard everything about the Emperor. However, kind, generous, and friendly were not in the part they had heard about the Emperor.

Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!

”We greet the Great Emperor!” The eight scouts fell on their knees and their faces on the ground. They ignored the Emperor early on, soon realizing that they had made a great mistake by doing that.

”Rise.” Tang Shaoyang motioned the eight men to get up and continued. ”What are you doing? Didnʼt you hear what Marshal Alton tells you? Get inside and rest!”

The eight men immediately got up and scrambled hurriedly into the city. As they entered the city, Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. ”My Lord, Lord Tang, Great Lord, and now Great Emperor… I just canʼt get used to this.” For someone from modern society, it would still be awkward to be called like that by others.

”But this is weird. Why would the Revolution Army attack us when they left the three cities?” The three cities in his mouth were Astium City, Yorke City, and Ailo City, where he was at. ”Did they really set traps in the city? Thatʼs why they left the city?” Tang Shaoyang was trying to understand the Revolution Armyʼs movement.

—I have been to countless battlegrounds, and most likely, what happened is they set a trap in the city. If they donʼt have a trap in the city, then thereʼs something fishy with the Revolution Army.

Zaneos voiced his thoughts inside Tang Shaoyangʼs head.

”A trap, huh!? But what kind of trap could they set up overnight? Explosion stuff? A secret force in the cityʼs underground?” Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin and expanded his Spirit Eyes. There was a specialty of his Spirit Eyes that could see through walls and ground. He scanned the whole city with the Spirit Eyes, checking every house and underground.

The civilians were still living in their house, but he could not see a weapon inside the house. That meant those civilians were not the secret army. Then he checked every corner of places, the houses, the big building, the sewers, every possible spot that could be used to hide the explosive stuff. Again, he could not find anything suspicious.

”I canʼt find anything. I donʼt think thereʼs a trap in Ailo City.” Tang Shaoyang shook his head. ”Maybe in Yorke City? But why would they set up a trap in Yorke City instead of Ailo City? We have escorted the civilians to Braum City as well, so thereʼs no secret army in that city. Unless the Revolution Army is confident to push us back to Yorke City?”

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. As an Emperor, he was trying to understand the art of war, but what the Revolution Armyʼs movement did, did not make any sense to him. ”I am getting dizzy looking at the explosive stuff in the city, and now they also make me dizzy. Maybe any of you can enlighten me with the Revolution Armyʼs movement? Whatʼs their purpose in attacking us and leaving their backs open to the Lionax Kingdom?”

—Maybe you can capture Julius alive and ask him directly, Master. I donʼt understand their intentions as well.

Even with The Infernal Sword, Zaneos gave up trying to understand the Revolution Armyʼs movement. The Flame Empress Rosalie, Crystal, and the other knights kept their mouths shut as well.

”Yeah, we have nothing to do but wait for them?” Tang Shaoyang used [Sky Walk] to get back to the top wall. He sat on the same spot and waited for the Revolution Army. At the same time, he summoned Maldros. ”Call Marshal Alton for me. Tell him too thereʼs no trap in the city.”

”Yes, Master.” Maldross bowed and flew toward the city.

Twenty-five minutes passed since the report came to them, and Tang Shaoyang the Revolution Army in the distance. He could tell that it was a big army with his sharp sight. ”See, they came with full force.”

A few minutes later, Marshal Alton and Vice Marshal Alton came to the wall. Tang Shaoyang instantly pointed toward a direction, and the two old men followed the finger.

They could see the incoming army, albeit unsure how many of them were coming. ”The Revolution Army is coming; prepare our men for the battle.” Tang Shaoyang gave his order.

Marshal Alton glanced at the Vice Marshal. The latter nodded his head and left the wall. Marshal Alton then came to Tang Shaoyangʼs side and said. ”I donʼt think our current force can win against the Revolution Armyʼs full force.”

Tang Shaoyang flicked his finger. Of course, flicking his finger was just for a show. He summoned all Grade B Spirits and had them lining up on the wall… ”I think they can replace our main force until they arrive.”
