Chapter 934 Three-Way Battle - Part 1 Zhang Mengyao listened to Sylvia's report. She was surprised that the Moon Tribe took over the city within a little over two hours. It was too fast considering how many the Rebel Army was. Based on Queen Melina's information, there were at least thirty thousand Rebel Army in Polaron City. To take over the city from the Rebel Army with just less than two thousand armies within two hours at that was more than amazing.
'Do I underestimate their power too much?' Zhang Mengyao had a second thought about the armies from Lukan. She knew that Marshal Alton, Vice Marshal Allan, Revalor, and Legion Commander Moonsong were very strong, but she did not put their subordinates into account. Tang Shaoyang never mentioned the knights or the Elves to her, so she played it safe, 'No, regardless of how strong they are, I don't want to be reckless with our move.'
"What about the Generals of the Rebel Army?" Zhang Mengyao asked, "We can't let them escape as they may have a way to contact the main army of the Rebel Army."
"I think Lu An gets them," Sylvia just finished her words, and Lu An came out of the shadow, three meters away from Zhang Mengyao.
"I have killed all the leaders in the main building, but I am not sure if I killed them all. We don't know all the Generals, after all. I need Queen Melina...." Lu An glanced at Alvarina, who was standing next to Zhang Mengyao, "Or Alvarina to confirm if they were all the Rebel Army's leaders."
"Let's wrap it up then," Zhang Mengyao nodded and glanced at the former Queen Protector, "You follow Lu An."

Zhang Mengyao walked to the center of the city, where the Rebel Army's main base was located. It was something common in the two cities she invaded; Mayor Manor was always located in the center of the city. It was the common design for the city in the Athilia Kingdom from what she heard from Alvarina.
On a quiet night, thousands of people were killed. The citizens were not aware of the change in power in their city, and she did not plan to awaken them to inform this too. She did not want to create unnecessary chaos in the middle of the night. However, she would gather the citizens for the announcement that the Tang Empire had taken over the city. Polaron City belonged to the Tang Empire now, not the Athilia Kingdom or the Rebel Army.
By the time Zhang Mengyao arrived at the main gate of the manor, Lu An, Yeon Hee, and Alvarina were already there, waiting for her. She glanced at Alvarina, and the latter nodded. That was a gesture, telling her that all the Rebel Army's leaders were killed by Lu An.
"Prepare a room for me. I guess I will take a few hours' naps before thinking about our next plan," Zhang Mengyao yawned.
Alvarina bowed and rushed into the manor in a hurry. Lu An walked next to Zhang Mengyao while Yeon Hee followed the two from behind closely.
"We have swept the city once more and have secured the city from the Rebel Army. Just in case we miss some of them, we have Legion Commander Moonsong and his tribesmen to patrol the city," Lu An reported.
Queen Melina let out a sigh as the morning sun ray fell on her face. She massaged the space between her eyes and looked back at the bed. Her daughter was sleeping on the bed. Looking at her daughter's peaceful expression soothed her chaotic mind.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Melina heard a soft knock on the door, "It's me, Alvarina."
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Alvarina entered the room, still in her armor. The former Queen Protector glanced at the bed; she stepped into the room with light steps, making sure not to wake up the little girl on the bed. She came next to Queen Melina and looked at the window.
"How is it?" Queen Melina asked.
"The Rebel Army in Polaron is not as cruel as The Rebel Army in Harnian City. The citizens are not starved, and they are not treated poorly by the Rebel Army," Alvarina told the Queen about the situation in Polaron City.
Melina nodded in relief, "What do you think about the Tang Empire's force?"
"I don't think we can talk about that, Lady Melina.... Hah...." The former Queen Protector let out a sigh, "I am part of the Tang Empire now, a direct subordinate of their Supreme General. That will breach my contract if I tell you about them."
A bitter smile formed as Queen Melina glanced toward Alvarina, "I don't think that will breach the contract, Alvarina. Do you forget that I am also a slave to the same person? We are on the same side, and I am no longer the Queen. I am just an ordinary mother now."
"Then why do you want to know about the Tang Empire?" Alvarina looked Melina in the eyes, "I think it's better if you don't get involved in the future battle. Let me bear the guilt alone. I am the reason we are in this position."
"I just want to know out of curiosity, I guess? And also preparing myself for what awaits me in the future. What will my husband face? Maybe think of a plan that may save my husband or even the kingdom."
Alvarina let out another sigh and lowered her gaze. She then closed her eyes and started to speak, "I don't know the depth of the Tang Empire's force. However, I am not surprised if the Athilia Kingdom falls to The Tang Empire whether in a fair battle or strategic battle."
