The spirits gathered and discussed what they should do with the knight that blocked their path toward Biaska Town.

"We should fight them. That could help our Master to level up! Especially if we killed Derekh Malone and Duran Ambrose," Bronson voiced his idea. The executioner became bloodthirsty when he found there were many knights he could slaughter.

​​

Zaneos had come back from scouting the legion of knights and told them it was the knights from the Malone Family. The Demon Swordmaster found Derekh Malone and also Duran Ambrose.

"Nope, first, we have to inform Master. Second, we need to secure a place for the knights and their families. Our job is to escort them to safety not to fight or bring them into danger," Orleans was the first one to object at Bronson's suggestion to confront the knights. On top of that, more knights were coming. Aerelion had scouted from the air and there were thousands of knights gathered.

Bronson wanted to say something, but then he shook his head. It was true, their task was to escort the knights and their families to the town. If his Master knew that he suggested something opposite of the task, he might get sacrificed for Level. He was too comfortable with what he had right now. He did not want to lose it.

"Zaneos, you contact Master and tell him what happened here. If we have the permission to fight, then we will fight," Orleans spoke to Zaneos.

"We will be waiting until the night before we move to the swamp area, we won't take a detour," Tang Shaoyang told Aki and Laura, "Tell them to get enough rest as we will move at night,"

Aki nodded his head. When his Lord had come to a decision, then he would execute it. He knew that and decided to keep his mouth shut. He received the order and nodded. Then he and Lauri returned to the others to inform them of their next move. Even though he did not know why his Lord specifically said they would make their move at night. He would know later for sure.

As Aki and Lauri left the house, Tang Shaoyang received the connection from Zaneos through the [Spirit Link].

—Hello, Master. Are you there?

The Demon Swordmaster's voice rang in his head, "I am here, what's wrong? Have you arrived at Biaska Town?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised that Zaneos called him. The demon swordsman said that they would arrive at the town at night, so he was surprised that the demon called him now.

—No, it's not that, but we encountered a variable. The knights of the Ambrose Family and the knights of the Malone Family are gathering at the perimeter of Biaska Town. We have to pass them if we want to escort the knights and their families to the town.

Zaneos gave him an unexpected reply. Tang Shaoyang was surprised again to hear those names, the knights from those two families, 'Did they manage to find out my position that fast?' He only stayed in the town for a night and no one knew their identity but the guard who received him at the gate and the four old men, "Does the Revolution Army have a spy at Biaska Town?" he muttered in a low voice.

—What should we do, Master? We can try to fight them if you allow us to, but we need to secure the knight's family's safety first and it will delay our arrival in the town.

Zaneos's voice rang again in his head and he snapped out of his thoughts, "What about the head of the Malone Family and also Duran Ambrose? Are they there too?"

When those two names were mentioned, Ashley and Selena turned toward him. They did not know who he was talking to, but those two names were quite sensitive to Ashley. Both were her fathers, one was her blood brother and another one was her step-father.

—Yes, they are the ones who lead the knights. Should we take a detour instead, Master?

"No, wait there. I will come to you. Share your location with me. Where are you from Biaska Town, then wait for me. Don't do anything until I arrive," Tang Shaoyang's eyes brightened as he thought of something.

—Yes, Master. We will wait for your arrival.

"Your fathers are going to attack Biaska Town. I am going to fly back, do you want to meet your father?" Tang Shaoyang asked Ashley. He knew that the girl wanted to meet her father again. She said to him that she had something to ask for her father. Tang Shaoyang was not going to prevent that.

Ashley went into a daze for a while before she nodded her head, "Of course, I want to meet him. Bring me with you," The girl stood up and was eager to meet with her father despite the fear she had inside her.

"What about me?" Selena asked Tang Shaoyang, "Do you want to go back too? But we are just going to fight off those knights and return to the forest later. I think you can wait here… But if you want to follow us, let's go then," Tang Shaoyang opened his arms, and the two girls came over. They hugged him and the Dark Predator climbed up onto his shoulder. The cat did not want to be left behind.

"Aki!" He called the rat beastmen and the latter hurried toward him, "I will leave them in your care. I will return to the town for something, I will trust them in you and Lauri,"

Aki wanted to ask where he was going, but Tang Shaoyang ran toward the air. Yes, using [Sky Walk], he ran toward the town direction. The black cat did not expect this to happen and it almost fell off.

While it took three days for Tang Shaoyang to reach there, it only took him a little over an hour to return to the city. He followed the direction Zaneos gave him and sure enough, he found knights on the way, thousands of them. Further toward the southwest of Biaska Town, Tang Shaoyang found the spirits and the knights. He landed in the middle of the camp. All the spirits noticed his presence, they gathered around him and knelt, "We greet, Master!"
