"I feel like we are being cheated," Carl said after Tang Shaoyang came out of the room, "An Emperor my ass, he's just alone and he dreams to destroy a kingdom. This is ridiculous, Tristan! Don't tell me you believe him? Not only that, now he suspected our friend just because Jacob did not make that stupid oath!"
"Then do you have other choices? We have made the oath and signed the Contract System," Tristan took a sip of the coffee, "Moreover, his plan is working well so far. A fight will break between the Revolution Army and the kingdom. We can use this to our advantage. No matter who wins the battle, they would be weakened and that's the time for us to strike them. It is a solid plan."
"Don't tell me you think that he can conquer the Gigante Forest? Commander Alton, who had reached Primordial by that time also failed to do so. Do you think he can? He is at best Ancient Level," Roan looked at his friend with a confused look.
Tristan shrugged, "It does not matter actually. If he failed, that means he is dead, and the oath and the system contract will get canceled. If he succeeds then we can hope for our vengeance! The kingdom who tried to kill their heroes and the ungrateful army we have been raised in, all of them deserved this death!"
"I guess you are right about that," Roan nodded. Either way, there was nothing to lose for them. If Tang succeeded then they could think of the vengeance they had been waiting for. If Tang failed and died, the contract and the oath would be canceled. This was a gamble with no risk.

Julius Brent, the leader of the Revolution Army and also the disciple of Commander Alton was leading a meeting with the head of the Malone Family and the head of the Ambrose Family. He was seated in a similar room albeit this room was dimmed and lackluster compared to the real throne hall of the Lionax Kingdom.
On both sides, there were ten people each, attending the meeting. Each of them was a General who had their force, including Derekh Malone and Duran Ambrose. In total, the Revolution Army had thirteen forces in total including Julius Brent's army, it was around eighty thousand forces in total. Of course, to avoid the suspicion from the kingdom, the force was sparsely positioned. Hiding eighty thousand armies was not easy yet now their existence was discovered because of the two people.
"Yes, Lord Julius. We will bring that man and Ashley to you." Derekh Malone and Duran Ambrose replied simultaneously.
"Good, if you understand! Now you can leave and return with the good news. I don't want to hear excuses when you two return!" Julius waved his hand at the two, telling them to leave.
"Yes, My Lord!" The two replied and stood up. Then the two turned around and headed out of the room, "Now, let's get to the real talk. We have to gather all our force and be ready to battle against the kingdom. We will gather in the north, if the news of the Revolution Army spreads to the south, we can trust General Allan to split their force of the Lionax Kingdom," Julius Brent expressed his plan.
General Allan, the ex-Vice Commander of the Fotia Legion who joined the Lezaria Kingdom. Julius was talking about him as it was known to everyone that this man joined the Lezaria Kingdom with a hope to destroy the Lionax Kingdom who was under the rule of the Kingsley Family.
If the news that the Revolution Army appeared on the north side of the Lionax Kingdom spread out, Julius was confident that General Allan would use this chance to attack the south border. The plan was simple, he intended to split the Lionax Kingdom's force.

Tang Shaoyang did not care who would win the war as it did not matter to him. Whoever won the war, would benefit him as it would weaken both sides' strength. The reason Julius Brent did not see him as a threat was that he was alone. Even though Julius could see what Tang Shaoyang planned in the Gigante Forest, he did not see it as a threat because even his Master failed to unite the forest, let alone a man from another world.
While everyone thought it was impossible to unite the force within the Gigante Forest, Tang Shaoyang was not discouraged in the slightest. The reason? It was simple, if he could not build a force from living creatures, then he would use the dead to build a Spirit Army. He would slaughter all tribes within the forest and summon the spirits.
"Where do you lead me to, Aki?" Tang Shaoyang asked as he followed Aki and Nol who was still clinging to Aki's back.
"I am leading you to the weakest tribe in the outer region of the Gigante Forest. They are called the Pallarmus Tribe and they are the nearest tribe to our location," Aki explained.
