Ashley was too innocent to understand what he was talking about. She made a confused expression, "Stop it! You are corrupting the innocent Commander." Selena followed to joke around as the atmosphere around Ashley was too gloomy.

"Kuhuhu…" Tang Shaoyang let out a cackle and changed the topic, "So, where's the way to the Gigante Forest?"

"You are in the wrong direction if you want to go to Gigante Forest. We should turn around and fly straight ahead." Ashley answered while pointing in the opposite direction they went to.

Gigante Forest was an area that occupied half of the Ortis Continent. Just like Prince Kaiden said, the Ortis Continent was more like a small island compared to the main continent where the Nasalis Empire was, the patron of the Lionax Kingdom.

The Ortis Continent was divided into four areas, Three Kingdoms, and Gigante Forest. If this was on Earth, the Ortis Continent was more like Australia while Eurasia was the main continent. While the Ortis Continent was comparable to Australia, the main continent was much bigger than Eurasia itself. At least, that was what Prince Kaiden told him when Tang Shaoyang showed the prince the Earth's map.

There were two reasons Tang Shaoyang wanted to go to this Gigante Forest. It was related to the Dimensional Gate and also the second cause was to raise an army. The reason Gigante Forest remained untouched by the three Kingdoms, the forest was occupied by various kinds of tribes.

From beastmen, elven, even dwarves that went into hiding from the humans. The forest was a home for many races. When one of the kingdoms tried to march into the forest, they would face the native of the forest's fierce resistance. So far, the three kingdoms had never succeeded to raid the forest.

First, Tang Shaoyang wanted to find the dwarves to fix the Dimensional Gate. That was his main purpose of coming to the Gigante Forest. If possible, he wanted to unite the tribes in the forest. If that could happen, he could use them to destroy the Lionax Kingdom.

He could actually destroy the Dimensional Gate on the Earth to cut the access of the Lionax Kingdom to the Earth. However, that was not the permanent solution. As long as they had the Dimensional Gate, they could use it to create a new gate on Earth. One of many reasons why Tang Shaoyang chose to come. The main reason was his greediness.

Lukan was a world with over two hundred years with the game. There were a lot of strong individuals he could kill to level. He did not want to miss this chance.

As they headed toward Gigante Forest, he still remembered Commander Alton, "Now, can you tell me about Commander Alton, Ashley? What do you know about him?"

"Commander Alton?" Ashley furrowed her clean brows when the name was brought up by Tang Shaoyang. No, she wanted to know how Tang Shaoyang could know about Commander Alton. But then, she remembered her great-grandmother was his contracted spirit. "He is Ambrose's benefactor and also the strongest knight in the Lionax Kingdom. Why do you ask?"

"He is your family's benefactor but also the ex-commander of the strongest legion, Fotia Legion. Shouldn't he become the leader of the Revolution Army instead of Julius Brent?" Tang Shaoyang ignored her sharp gaze. It seemed the girl admired this Commander Alton.

"He was the one who established the Revolution Army, but my father told me that he left thirty years after the Revolution Army. He decided to become a hermit in the Gigante Forest and was not willing to see anyone. The empty seat was then filled by his disciple, Julius Brent." Ashley explained briefly and asked back, "Why do you ask about him?"

"You don't know the legitimate reason why he left the army he has created?" Tang Shaoyang muttered. The more he listened to this Commander Alton, the more he felt that what Crystal told him was the truth. Behind the revolution was no longer about the vengeance of the deceased Queen or an attempt to clear the Ambrose Family's name from the accusation.

"What do you mean by the legitimate reason? He was tired and sick of the battlefield, that was why he lived in solitude in the Gigante Forest." The frown deepened on Ashley's forehead.

Tang Shaoyang smiled, "But your great-grandmother thought otherwise. Are you sure that his disciple did not try to kill his teacher that caused Commander Alton to flee to the Gigante Forest?"

Ashley went silent when her great-grandmother was brought. Even though she was still awkward with this great-grandmother that suddenly appeared in front of her, she accepted her presence. Crystal Ambrose was a famous frost knight who established the Ambrose Family in the kingdom. She admired her deceased great-grandmother who became the pillar of the Ambrose Family. She wanted to be like her, the woman who would bring glory to the Ambrose Family.

"We will have a long talk when we arrive in town." Tang Shaoyang picked up the pace.

Malone Residence

Even though the Malone Family tried to cover what happened, the Royal Family had ears and eyes everywhere. The news of Ashley Malone being kidnapped quickly traveled quickly to Prince Chandler's ears. The Crown Prince was furious and immediately went back to the Malone Family's territory.

His fiancee was kidnapped, he would not stay silent. This was a humiliation for the Royal Family of the Lionax Kingdom as the Crown Prince could not protect his own fiancee.

"So are you saying it was a Demon who kidnapped my fiancee?" Crown Prince Chandler's forehead creased when he heard the demon was involved with the kidnapping. However, he was confused with one thing; why the demon kidnapped his fiancee? No, in the first place, where did this demon come from? The more he thought about it the more suspicious he became.

"Yes, the demon is in disguise as one of the knights and it has a Dark Wyvern as a mount. The reason why we can't catch up with them. If you don't believe me, you can interrogate all the maids and knights in my residence. You can use any means to interrogate them if you don't believe me, Prince Chandler," Derekh Malone replied respectfully.
