Chapter 464 - We Have A Chance?
Commander Ashley stopped her freezing aura immediately. She did not doubt the man's words that he would kill Captain Knight Lucas if she did not control her freezing aura.
"Release the prince and the other hostages, then we will hand over the four cities to you!" Commander Ashley said her terms, "We can form a contract if you don't trust me!"
As long as the Prince was in their hand, her hands were tied. Commander Ashley was well aware of this so she prioritized the prince's safety first. On top of that, a direct confrontation was not the solution either.
Native or not, the man could not be underestimated even though his level was lower than her. But she was confident to win the battle if the fight broke out. She was not alone. She had seven Captain Knights on her side, excluding Captain Knight Lucas who had become a hostage.
"It seems I am not expressing it clearly enough. Commander Ashley, I am here not to negotiate with you. Why would I want an empty city that could be captured easily with the prince's life?" Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Do you take me as a fool?"
"Surrender! I might let you guys live if you surrender! That's only the only choice you have..." He paused as he eyed the knights, "No, I love giving a choice actually. First, you surrender, and your prince will be alive. Second, you can choose to fight but your prince will be dead!"
At this moment, another Captain Knight stepped forward, getting closer to Commander Ashley. He was Captain Knight Fer who had scouted the whole area.
"The area is secured. There's no ambush. I didn't find the demon and the undead either, Commander." He reported in a low voice. Little did he know that the enemy could hear him from a distance. It was silly to whisper something like that in front of their enemy.
Commander Ashley halted her steps and took a big leap backward. She was shocked by the summoning spirits.
"It's them! It's them who killed our comrades! It's them!" Juan shouted to the top of his lungs. Madness and anger mixed within his voice.
Commander Ashley scanned the summoned spirits. She found the three spirits that fit with Juan's description. A Demon Swordsman, holding a one-handed sword and a straw hat. The Undead with two reavers and another Undead with a lance.
The problem was that they had to face the others, not just the Demon and the two Undead. The Dark Wyvern, Demon Prince, a Magus, Chimera, strong Ant, Orc Warrior, and also a knight?
All of them were level 700 with one exception the Orc Warrior who was level 537. While they were at a big advantage by their numbers, now their advantage was gone. The number did not matter if they had overwhelming power.
Once again, Commander Ashley realized that she just led her legion into their doom.
Swoosh!
Aerelion the Dark Wyvern flew toward the sky, leaving the strong gust of wind. Malki the Fire Ant Emperor also followed. They were flying above them, cutting their path to retreat.
"I am going to take the Commander," Bronson the Executioner immediately chose his opponent. He was the strongest amongst the spirits. The other said nothing about it.
Zowen floated above them while Karan the Great Warrior, Zhang Mengyao, and Orlean the Demon Prince flanked from the right. Zaneos the Demon Swordmaster, Feera the Chimera, and Yowe flanked from the left. This was kinda funny that the bigger force was besieged by the smaller force.
The Lionax Kingdom's knights turned around to face the spirits. They had their backs on each other, forming a circle formation.
