Chapter 460: 459: Acquaintance?

Commander Ashley tightened the guard for the city. However, after six hours of waiting, the enemy did not attack the city. There was no sign of the enemy entering their range of detection. The city was safe.

Back to the meeting hall

"This is weird, why would they let Juan alive if they are so strong as Juan described?" Captain Morris voiced his voice while looking at the still kneeling Juan, "Don't tell me, Prince Kaiden pulled some tricks on us and you agree with his stupid prank, Juan!" Captain Morris raised his voice.

"No! No! No!" Juan replied with 'no' three times loudly, "I am not going to play with my comrades' lives, Captain Morris. They are dead! They died in front of me! Their limbs were cut by the sword! Their limbs were crushed by the reaver! Lance holed their bodies! There's no way I will be lying with this kind of thing!" Juan raised his voice, getting emotional, he raised his voice.

"Calm down! Anger will not solve the issue. Captain Morris, I believe in Juan. Prince Kaiden is not the one behind this," Commander Ashley waved her hand at Juan to calm the terrified knight, "I sent them to one of the cities, but from the game interface, we only have four cities and the Tang Empire also has four. Meaning Prince Kaiden failed to capture the city."

"How far are you from the city before the demon and the undead attack?" Commander Ashley asked Juan.

Juan shook his head, "We don't know. We are still in the middle of the forest. The demon and the undead attacked before we could reach the city, but…"

"But what?" Commander Ashley questioned.

"Now I remembered, the demon said, your prince is with us or something like that while we fought them…" Juan recalled what happened on the battlefield. He indeed heard that from the demon.

"That means Prince Kaiden is still alive! We have to save him!" Captain Lucas expressed his thoughts toward Commander Ashley. If the Queen and the Crown Prince knew that Prince Kaiden died in this expedition, his life and his family would not be spared.

"That could be a trap! It's very clear that they let Juan escape to send the message to us. They want us to fall into their trap! Please think twice, Commander Ashley!" Captain Morris immediately realized this. They finally completed the pieces. The enemy wanted to lure them into the trap.

Commander Ashley let out an audible sigh and slanted her head to the right, resting her chin on her right hand, "Even if it's a trap, we have no choice but to fall into their trap. Captain Lucas is right, we have to rescue Prince Kaiden."

Captain Morris wanted to speak more, but Commander Ashley spoke first, "If the King knows we let Prince Kaiden die without even trying to save him, you know the consequence, right, Captain Morris?"

Captain Morris shut his mouth immediately. He could not refute Commander Ashley because he knew the consequences well. Not only would he be executed, but his family would not be spared either.

Commander Ashley was right. Even if it was a trap, they had to fall into the trap, "Should we ask for reinforcement?" Captain Morris asked Commander Ashley.

"We can't. The Dimensional Gate is temporarily closed because of the Territory War Game. We are alone until the game is over, and if Prince Kaiden is in a demon's hand, we can't wait until the game is over, I am afraid," Commander Ashley shook her head.

"Then let's meet with the Tang Empire. We will give our four cities to them, let them win the game so we can access the Dimensional Gate." Captain Morris expressed his strategy. He thought it was a brilliant idea.

"That's a brilliant idea, but it will only work if the demon is not the Tang Empire's pawn. If the demon and the undead are the Tang Empire's pawns, then looking for them is the same thing as falling into their trap." Commander Ashley shook her head, "And we don't have time to investigate whether the demon is the empire's pawn or not. Let's not gamble your family's lives! If the enemy is only one Demon and two Undead, we still have a chance."

"Alright, it's decided. Recall our people, we will match tomorrow morning at the sunrise! Get enough rest for tomorrow's battle!" Commander Ashley sent her order.

All the knights left the meeting hall, leaving Commander Ashley alone, "Level 700 Demon and two level 700 Undead? Those two should not exist in this world."

"I can't underestimate this Tang Empire. They are most likely not native to this world, just like us…" Commander Ashley released another sigh as tomorrow might be her last day to live.

On the same night

Zhang Mengyao was picked up by Wen. She was flying on top of Wen, heading toward Ningbo City, bringing more supplies with her.

"So, how strong are the knights of the Lionax Kingdom?" She had received a message from Tang Shaoyang that he had a clash against the Lionax Kingdom.

"Very Strong! I am not their match, Lady Mengyao," Wen replied dejectedly, "But they are no match for Lord Shaoyang. With his spirit, he easily defeated them. We now hold a Prince and also two Captain Knights as hostages."

Zhang Mengyao had not heard about this yet. She only knew about the class against the Lionax Kingdom and also the information that this Lionax Kingdom was from another world.

"What about her woman? Have you seen his new woman?" A frown formed on her forehead. He left them for a day yet he got a new woman during this time.

"I have seen Lady Shuang…" Wen did not finish his words as the city came into their sights, "We arrived, Lady Mengyao."

"Shuang?" The frown on her forehead deepened as the name was familiar to her, "There's no way, right?"

Wen landed in front of the Steele Building of Ningbo. At the entrance, three people were waiting for them. Two adults and one kid.

Zhang Mengyao hopped down from Wen and her eyes nailed on the woman. Her eyes widened when she got a clear look of the woman, "Sister Shuang! Is that you?"
