Armipotent
chapter-491

The Vip Suite room has three bedrooms, a living room, and there was even a kitchen. Each bedroom had a bathroom inside. The kitchen was a traditional one. It was not an electric stove or even used gas, but wood. Not they cared since none of them were cooking.

They gathered in the living room, listening to Crystal's story about her past life. Mostly about the Fotia Legion. The Commander Fotia Legion and the two vice Commanders. Those three were the strongest knights at that time. They had not reached an Epic at that time but they were still the three strongest.

Commander Alton, Vice Commander Allan, and Vice Commander Larry. Ashley told them that Commander Alton had reached Primordial level, at least, that was the information they had before Commander Alton left the Revolution Army.

"Those three are supposed to be the most loyal knights to Rosalie the Flame Queen. She raised them from the street and became the strongest knight in the kingdom. I don't doubt their loyalty, but none of them are part of the Revolution Army, this raises suspicion to me. Why did they leave the Revolution Army instead of avenging the Queen?" Crystal looked at her great-granddaughter with a bitter smile.

Ashley shook her head, "However, Vice Commander Larry has surrendered in exchange for the kingdom to stop hunting the remnant of the Fotia Legion. He is now teaching the knights in the Lionax Academy. He never stepped out from that place even once since that day."

Ashley knew Vice Commander Larry as well. He was the teacher who taught her in the academy. How could she not know him?

"As for Vice Commander Allan, he left with Commander Alton but later we found out that Commander Allan joined the Alastia Kingdom. He is now the Marshal that leads twenty legions of knights." Ashley also knew Vice Commander Allan. The enemy that kept harassing the borderland. Now she understood why Marshal Allan kept doing that, he bore a grudge against the Lionax Kingdom.

"I am glad all of them are still alive." Even though Crystal's face was covered by the helmet, Tang Shaoyang could picture the relieved smile beneath the helmet, "So why did Larry join the other kingdom and Alton chose a solitary life in the Gigante Forest? That's because the Revolution Army no longer has the same goal as them. The Revolution Army has grown a bigger ambition than just a mere vengeance. They wanted to rule the kingdom."

"That does not make sense. Even though they don't have the same ideal, it is the same goal. Both are wanting to topple the Kingsley Family. One is to avenge their Queen and the others want to rule the kingdom by themselves, but both would lead to the same result." Tang Shaoyang voiced his thoughts. It did not make sense why Commander Alton and Commander Allan left the army they gathered.

"Of course, it's different. You just don't know them well, if you know them, you will understand me." Crystal responded confidently, "If I can guess it correctly, Alton and Allan wanted to return the authority of the kingdom to the Empire of Nasalis after they were done with the revolution. Rosalie is a distant relative of the Royal Family of Nasalis, after all. However, they have a different idea in this regard. Causing Alton to leave and Allan to join the other kingdom."

"That still does not make sense to me, Crystal! The same ideal or a different ideal will result in the fall of the Kingsley Family if what they are trying to achieve is to avenge Rosalie. It does not matter," Tang Shaoyang could not understand what Crystal tried to tell him.

"It is different, Alton and Allan wanted to return the rightful owner to Rosalie's Family but the Revolution Army does not want that to happen. At least, the Revolution Army under Alton's disciple wants to take over the kingdom by themselves. The vengeance has become an ambition, it is no longer the same." Crystal explained patiently.

"Yeah, whatever." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. Those two Commanders were not on the list to be destroyed anyway. He was also glad none of them were part of the Revolution Army. He did not want to face a Primordial Level individual yet as of now.

Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Ashley, "You never told me that your father and the head of the Malone Family are in Epic Level? I thought there were only a few Epics in the kingdom." He asked Ashley, he needed the list as they would be farmed for him to reach Epic. The King, Kaiden's Grandfather and Granduncle, the four Marshal Knights, and also the Exalted Knights. That was the individual he knew who had reached Epic. However, he did not expect to meet two Epics on his first day in another world.

The discussion continued as Ashley listed all the Epics within the Kingdom. To his surprise, it was no longer a few Epics, more than a hundred Epics. Yes, there were more than a hundred Epics. Fortunately, for him, not all Epics were on the side of the kingdom. Forty-seven of the Epics were part of the Revolution Army and the Ambrose Family.

The bad news was that Julius Brent, the leader of the Revolution Army, recently passed the trial of evolution. He was now Myth Level, a lower level than the Primordial Level.

When the night arrived, Tang Shaoyang did not stay in his room. He left the inn and headed toward the Gigante Forest. He was not going to stay in the town and wait for the other knights to arrive. From what Ashley told him, they would arrive at least in seven days. He might as well use his time to explore that forest that took half of the Ortis Continent while waiting for the knights.

It would be best if he could meet dwarves on his first night, so he could repair the Dimensional Gate.

—Don't get your hopes too high. The dwarves are not easily found. They are hiding from us humans as they are afraid of getting slaved. There's a high chance that you will never meet them ever.

That was what Rosalie told him in his mind as they walked toward the other side of Biaska Town. The town did not have good lighting. It was quite dark even with the lamps on the side of the street. Of course, it was not an issue for his eyes to see everything clearly, including a few people who were following him right now.

Tang Shaoyang pretended to not notice that he was being followed and continued walking toward the east gate. He needed to pass the east gate to enter the Gigante Forest. He thought these people would stop him at the deserted street but they did nothing until he arrived at the east gate.

"Uh!? Are you going to the Gigante Forest at this time?" The guard asked Tang Shaoyang. The guard looked surprised that someone wanted to enter the forest at this time. It was not that no one had entered the forest at night, but most hunters would avoid the forest in the night. It was common knowledge that more dangerous predators came out at night to hunt for food.

"Are you a new hunter? If you are a new hunter, I advise going back tomorrow morning. The Gigante Forest is too dangerous at night," The guard advised Tang Shoayang out of kindness. Not all Hunters were scumbags just like the captain guard.

"It's okay, I can protect myself. I am quite a good fighter myself," Tang Shaoyang smiled at the guard.

The guard let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly. He could advise the hunter to go back, but he could not prevent them from going out if they insisted on going out. The guard turned around and said, "Follow me."

The guard opened the door for Tang Shaoyang. The latter then nodded toward the guard and entered the dark forest under the dim moonlight.

Tang Shaoyang was kinda amazed that the tree in the forest was monstrous in size. The tree was many times bigger than his body, even the root that came out of the ground was bigger than him, three times bigger. The lush and big leaves covered the forest from the moonlight, making the forest even darker.

He had entered a few hundred meters into the forest but had not found any monsters yet. However, the figures that followed him were coming closer. They were no longer keeping the distance.

Tang Shaoyang stopped his steps and turned around, "Until when you are going to follow me? I don't like being tailed up, come out!" his voice echoed through the quiet forest.

Even though he said so, the figures that followed him did not come out. This was the right place if they wanted to ambush him. Tang Shaoyang stretched his body as he counted the enemy.

"Seven?" Through the [Spirit Eyes], he easily located where the enemies were. There were seven people who followed him. Most of them were hunters with leather armor, carrying a bow on their backs, and small swords on their waist.

"Ah, I see…" When he expanded his vision, he finally realized why they did not attack him. They were waiting for their friends. He noticed that there were another ten people coming from the town's direction. So it was seventeen in total, "I am surprised that they didn't immediately attack me," He muttered in a low voice.

Just as he thought, only when the ten people joined the seven people that they dared to make an appearance. Three people came out from the darkness and showed their faces, "I am surprised that you don't run away even after noticing us. If you want to keep your life intact, you better hand over all the coins you have!"

"So it's a robbery now."
