—You should kill him for talking badly about you behind your back! You have to maintain your dignity as the Emperor so no one would talk badly about you!

Orlean The Demon Prince raised his voice. He could not believe that Tang Shaoyang just let him be after all of that. He could not understand his human master's train of thought.

"While it is something bad, but he does not deserve the death penalty for what he did. The Emperor is supposed to lead his people, not kill them just because of something like that. I just need to change the man with my leadership instead of my brute force. And I do believe he will be grateful to me in the future," Tang Shaoyang responded casually.

He was walking in the air with his [Sky Walk], gazing around at the surroundings. The surroundings of Hangzhou had become similar to the rainforest. Thick and dense trees filled the land as he saw beasts roamed around.

He was surprised to see beasts living in the forest. He did not encounter the beast while leading his armies to Hangzhou.

—I give up. I don't understand why you would let your subordinates speak like that about you. I don't understand.

The Demon Prince responded exasperatedly. He could not understand that someone as strong as Tang Shaoyang would be this soft.

"That's why your subordinates betrayed you because you always think about yourself. You lead them with only power, not caring about their wellbeing. I am not saying that is bad, but the method will cause an extreme backlash if you only use your power," Tang Shaoyang expressed his thoughts.

Using force only worked, in the beginning, to establish the status within the people. If he kept using the same trick time and again. The people would riot and betray him if he constantly suppressed them.

That was why he agreed to play bad cop and a good cop. While his image was bad in front of his people, his subordinates were doing the thing he could not, complementing what he lacked. Of course, in doing so, he had to trust his subordinates, fully trust them. One of the main reasons why he chose his women to hold the crucial position.

The Demon Prince said nothing in response. Orlean went totally quiet as he touched the demon's sore spot. Tang Shaoyang did not console the Demon Prince as he continued his stroll.

He was heading toward Shaoxing City, the third official city under the Daian Kingdom. He was going there to meet Yu Shun. The boy was going there to collect more zombies because from the information from his zombies, there was a stage-7 zombie there.

The boy went to Shaoxing city alone with his zombie armies. From the game interface, the boy successfully conquered the city as the Tang Empire was holding three cities. His force was in the lead of the competition…

"Not anymore…" He opened the game interface and found out that the Lionax Kingdom had four cities under their control now. That meant they had taken all four cities under the Dacian Kingdom.

"We should get prepared, they will come for us soon," he muttered as picked up his pace. Soon Shaoxing City came into sight.

He scanned the city, trying to spot the main building that held the City Steele. The building was shining with a light so it was easily spotted by him. He came over and from the top, he noticed that zombies were walking around. He also found some zombie corpses and used them as advancement sacrifices for Aerelion.

Tang Shaoyang descended in front of the building. The zombies paused their steps and turned toward him. Most of the zombies were stage-5 zombies and stage-6 zombies.

"Calm down guys, he is your Master's Lord. You should be more respectful," the cheerful voice caused all the zombies to lower their gazes. The zombies bowed their heads at him.

"You come, My Lord," Yu Shin cheekily put crossed his right hand on his chest and bowed toward him as well. He shook his head, "Have you asked your zombie where the last city is?"

"Heron!" Yu Shun called out and a figure shot up from his shadow. The shadow then formed a figure, the envoy sent by King Biron, Heron.

"Yes, Master. I am at your command," Heron appeared next to Yu Shun, lowering his head.

"You lead Lord Tang to the next city!" He gave his order before looking toward Tang Shaoyang, "Are you sure you will go alone, My Lord? I can have them guard the city while I can go with you."

"Nah, it's fine. You said that there are only a thousand zombies, right? I am alone should be enough," He waved his hand at Yu Shun while scanning the zombie. Curious, he did a quick [Basic Detection] on Heron.

Heron had the same class as before and also the same stage of evolution, but he noticed the zombie's level increased, a few levels if he remembered correctly.

"Good, you can lead the way, Heron!" Tang Shaoyang nodded and commanded the zombie, "You can go at your own pace, we are not in a hurry anyway."

"Then I will go now, Master," the zombie bid farewell to his Master before he turned around and blended into his shadow. Even though he was now under Yu Shun's control, he maintained his memories. He remembered that this Lord's speed was frightening, even faster than. So he did not plan to hold back and rushed toward the direction with his maximum speed.

Even so, Tang Shaoyang followed the shadow easily. He walked in the air as his Spirit Eyes locked on Heron. On the way to the fourth city, he assessed the situation.

His destination was Ningbo City, a quite big city with a thousand zombie armies. There were ten Zombie Consorts in Ningbo City. However, the zombie armies in Ningbo City could not be underestimated. The armies were mixed with stage-5 zombies and stage-6 zombies. An elite army of the Daian Kingdom if he had to say.

But of course, the armies posed no threat to him. And since the number was so little, he was not going to inconvenience his army to go to Ningbo City. He wanted them to have enough rest to boost their morale a little bit before they clashed against the Lionax Kingdom.

Following Heron's maximum speed, he arrived at the city in twenty minutes. He could see the ten meters steel wall circling the city, "Alright, you can go back now!" He dismissed Heron as he floated higher and higher.

Tang Shaoyang realized why King Biron only had a little army in the city but the elite. Toward the north and west of Ningbo City was the sea. It was quite a safe city hence King Biron only had a thousand zombie armies.

He scanned the city from the top. King Biron was dead, meaning the zombies should have gone wild without their King. He tried to locate the wild zombies and find the City Steele.

Tang Shaoyang was about to search for zombies until he heard a cry. His sharp hearing could hear a little girl's cry from a location in the city. His gaze followed the cry and spotted two figures.
