Chapter 831: Cleaning Up Part 2
Armipotent

On the other side of the Seoul wall, another battle took place. The Warlord Guild and The Shade Guild split up to divide the Legion Guild's force instead of fighting head-on, two against one. That way, they weakened the Legion Guild's defense by a big margin since the Legion Guild had to split their force. It was the four guilds' plan to take the Legion Guild down.

Chup Seung-Gi, The Warlord Guild's leader, led his people to attack the crumbling wall. With the help from The Shade Guild's mage armies, they managed to make a hole on the wall for them to enter. The next step was to break the Legion Guild's defense and rush toward the Legion Guild's smart base. However, it was not easy to break the Legion Guild's defense.

"You guys are so persistent. Why don't you just die peacefully?" Chup Seung-Gi took a deep breath as he got away from Yoo Kwang Sung and Yu Jin Sang. He had to fight the two Vice Leaders if he wanted to get into the Legion Guild's territory. The Warlord Guild encountered fierce resistance even though they won in numbers.

"Heh, even if we lose the battle, at least, I will bring you down with me," Yoo Kwang Sung grinned.

"Why are you so pessimistic, Kwang Sung," Park Jin Sang nudged his friend with his spear's shaft. "We are here to win, not to lose. So, stop wasting your breath on him and kill him. We have to help the others after this."

"Bahahaha…." Chup Seung-Gi let out a loud laugh while shaking his head. "Killing me? You two? We have been fighting for an hour, yet you can't even touch me. Also, you should be worried about your smart base instead of defending your outer wall. The Black Knight and The Giant Guild should have made their way there already."

"You should be concerned for your own well-being, Chup Seung-Gi!" Yoo Kwang Sung and Park Jin Sang immediately looked to the back as soon as they heard the familiar voice. Park Nam Hoon was walking toward them with a big smile, the smile of happiness. "The reinforcement has arrived! Let's drive the enemies out!" Park Nam Hoon rallied his people as he rushed to his friend's side.

Yoo Kwang Sung and Park Jin Sang were surprised with their Guild Leader's arrival. This was not something they expected because Park Nam Hoon brought a quarter of their force to fight a whole guild, the Shade Guild, around twenty minutes ago. The plan was to drive the Warlord Guild out before they helped Park Nam Hoon, but it was Park Nam Hoon who came to help them instead.

"Huh!? What happened? Did you win against the Shade Guild? But how?" Park Jin Sang asked his Guild Leader. He tried to think of how his Guild Leader defeated the Shade Guild with the quarter of their force within twenty minutes. But no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not get the answer.

"Calm down. We win; the reinforcement has arrived." Park Nam Hoon was being suspenseful to his friend while smiling mysteriously.

"Damn! How can Park Nam Hoon be here? What is the Shade Guild doing? They are so useless!" Chup Seung-Gi cursed under his breath as he stared at the perfectly fine Park Nam Hoon. At this moment, he heard the screams of people from his right side. He looked toward the scream, but he saw nothing. Then a scream resounded from his left side; he subconsciously looked to the left. He saw ten of his people fall down with an arrow on their foreheads.

Before he could proceed with what happened, he heard more screams from behind. He turned around and saw his backline force fall down one by one. The archer and the mage ran around as a shadow moved between them, cutting his subordinates' heads one by one. He could not figure out what the shadow was, then he sensed something dangerous from his front.

Chup Seung-Gi raised his spear and directed it forward. He found a black-furred cat right in front of him, three meters away from him. "Meow," The cat meowed at him. He did not know the cat breed, but it was the biggest cat he had ever seen in his life, almost a meter long. "Huh!? Why is there a cat here?" He just muttered those words when the cat suddenly became a pitch-black shadow and expanded in size. The shadow was like a giant mouth that wanted to swallow him.

Chup Seung-Gi's eyes widened in shock, and he was about to leap backward. However, the monster in front of him was just too fast as the shadow swallowed his upper body. The shadow disappeared after swallowing half of his body, and Chup Seung-Gi's upper body also disappeared along with the shadow. It happened in two seconds. The lower body walked backward, step by step, as blood spurted out from it. After walking seven steps backward, the lower body fell off.

Yoo Kwang Sung and Park Jin Sang were shocked to witness the death of Chup Seung-Gi. They had fought the man for almost an hour, and they only managed to exhaust Chup Seung-Gi's stamina. However, a stray cat came out of nowhere, killing Chup Seung-Gi in a flash. It took a while for them to accept the reality.

"Where's the cat? There's a monster here, be careful!" Park Jin Sang meant to remind his people, but then a hand tapped his shoulder. "Chill. It's not just a monster, but our reinforcement." Park Nam Hoon calmed down his friends. "It's Your Majesty's familiar, Greed."

"Huh!? Your Majesty's familiar?" It took them a few moments to understand what Park Nam Hoon told them. Park Jin Sang and Yoo Kwang Sung immediately understood what had happened. The reinforcement had arrived, but that reinforcement was not Park Nam Hoon and their quarter force, but Your Majesty Tang Shaoyang from the Tang Empire.

Everything made sense for them now; why Park Nam Hoon could regroup with them in twenty minutes after leaving them, was because of the reinforcement from the Tang Empire. The screams continued to resound in the air, and all the screams came from the Warlord Guild's people. Yoo Kwang Sung and Park Jin Sang looked at the battlefield.. There were two shadows hunting the Warlord Guild's people, and there were also arrows killing their enemies.

Chapter 894: Second Floor ~ Beast in Human Skin - Part 3
Aleesa and Sylvia were in the main hall of the mansion. The two girls were holding a whip with thorns. The whip was covered with the blood, the sign that they had used it for a while. Zhang Mengyao did not ask what these were doing as four men limbless men were lying down on the giant table in the middle of the hall.

"Are they the four leaders of the rebel army?" The four men were stark naked, and they had lost all their five limbs. The four men were covered in their own blood and barely breathing.

Aleesa and Sylvia did not notice Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue's presence, so they were surprised to hear the voice. Aleesa turned around, and Sylvia was like a kid that was caught doing something bad, so she hid behind Aleesa.

"Yes, they are the rebel army leaders," Aleesa answered calmly. There was no need for her to feel guilty for torturing the depraved human beings like these four.

"You will regret this, woman! My King will turn into a whore where all our armies will f*ck you until you die!" The man gritted his teeth while throwing the threat, maybe his attempt to scare the girls. If it was his plan, then it did not work, as all four women showed no reaction to the threat.

"Let's not say that it will never happen to us; even if we become the whore for the rebel army, you will not be alive to witness it," Zhang Mengyao shook her head as she was amused by the threat. She then motioned to Kang Xue to heal the four men, "I don't care what you want to do with them, but just make sure you don't kill them. We will execute them publicly tomorrow. I want the people of Harnian to witness all the rebel army get executed."

The public execution was not just to vent out her anger toward the rebel army for what they had done, but it was a method to win the civilians' hearts. Since she decided not to move discreetly anymore, she needed more force on her side. The Kingdom of Athilia was just the start.

*** ***

The next day

The people of Harnian City gathered in the city's largest open area, surrounding a two-meter-tall platform that was recently built. These people were the civilians trapped in the city when the rebel army took over the city. They came to this area because the new people who took over the city told them to come. They found out that it was not the King's army that killed the rebel army.

People talked in small voices as they looked at Wei Xi on the platform. Black hair, tanned skin, and quite short compared to their average height. They tried to find out where Wei Xi came from based on his features because all humans in the four human kingdoms had similar features. White skin, 1.8 meters tall on average, and no people with black hair. The closest was the dark-brown hair, so this was the first time they saw a human with features like Wei Xi.

"Good morning, everyone," Wei Xi started with a greeting, but he did not smile. It was not the right occasion to smile after finding out what the rebel army did to these people, "I know you guys are still in strain for what these vile rebel army did to your friends and family. But I feel like we need to gather you guys here to introduce who we are. I am Vice Supreme General of the Tang Empire, Wei Xi!"

"We are the Tang Empire's army, not Athilia's army! We are not part of the King's army, also not the reinforcements to help the Athilia Kingdom from the rebellion! The Tang Empire is a country from a far place, and why are we here? We are here to take over the Athilia Kingdom! We are in a war against the Athilia Kingdom!"

The atmosphere turned intense all of a sudden as the people suddenly turned silent after hearing the declaration from Wei Xi. After what the rebel army did to them, they were scared of what awaited them after the Tang Empire took over the city.

"Don't be scared! We might be at war against the Athilia Kingdom, but we are not the vile rebel army. We will not hurt you, the innocents and civilians. The Tang Empire will not hurt any of you unless you try to get involved and fight for your kingdom. If that's the case, we don't have a choice but to kill you!"

Wei Xi stopped his speech, watching these people's reactions. There was no extreme reaction from them, and there were no nationalist citizens among these people. No one said anything or even tried to stand up for their kingdom.

'I guess the rebel army has killed all the nationalist people already. This will be easier than I thought,' Wei Xi thought to himself.

"The Tang Empire will not force you to fight for us, but we warn you to be neutral. Siding with the Athilia Kingdom means you are our enemy!" That was something weird to say, but Wei Xi did not care. He was blunt with his words and told these people the consequence of siding with the Athilia Kingdom. "There's nothing changed when we defeat the Athilia Kingdom. If there's really a change, we will ensure you will never have to experience the same tragedy again! We will protect you from the dangers and vile rebel army!"

Wei Xi said that with confidence, as if the Tang Empire had already won the war, "I guess that's all I want to say. I will not keep you long, and next, we will hold a public execution for the rebel army! We can't forgive what they have done to our fellow humans, and they don't deserve a second chance! So, if you bring your children here, please bring them back. We don't want the execution to traumatize the children."

"NO! Let me see the execution!" A childlike voice rang in the air. Since all the people were silent, the voice was very clear to everyo e's ears. Wei Xi looked toward the source of the voice. He saw a boy, around ten if he had to guess, with khaki-colored hair. Tears streamed down his eyes, but he wiped them and tried to look strong while facing Wei Xi. "Let me watch you execute these bastards! They raped my mother and sister in front of me! They executed my father in front of me! So let me see, they were executed! Let me see them die with my eyes!" The boy's firm words rang in the air.

The strong hatred was very clear in the boy's eyes as he faced Wei Xi. The boy had nothing to lose since all his family had been killed already. He was not scared of Wei Xi or the Tang Empire.

Wei Xi opened his mouth as he wanted to say something to comfort the boy, but no words came out. He could not say anything because he wanted to watch the execution if he was in the boy's position. He wanted to see the people who killed his family get executed..

Chapter 893: Second Floor ⁓ Beast in Human Skin - Part 2
Zhang Mengyao put her hand on the boy's head, ensuring the boy would not see this scene again. The woman's genitals was torn, and the wound was still fresh. From that, she could tell that the woman died while being raped, and she was not sure how many days the knight raped the woman. But it did not stop there; the woman's other hole was in a more terrible state. The other hole was plugged by the wood as big as her hand; blood still dripped from it into the wood. Another sign was that the wood was pushed into the woman's other hole recently.

She just could not understand why the knights did this to the woman. If they wanted the pleasure of having sex, raping the woman should be enough, but why do they have to do this as well? Why would they torture her too? There was no justification for them to do this even if they were in the war to sno overturn the throne. The fact these knights raped the civilians was f*cked up already, and added with the inhuman torture was just unforgivable. She could not see giving these knights a second chance, even as a slave.

Zhang Mengyao was putting herself in the woman's position. What if she was in the woman's position? She just could not imagine the pain this woman had gone through to endure all of this. This angered her even though she did not know the woman in front of her. The anger stemmed from the fact that she was also a woman. Her chest heaved up and down repeatedly.

Zhang Mengyao pulled the blanket and covered the woman's body. After that, she handed the sleeping boy to Alvarina, "Bring the boy outside!"

Alvarina obeyed the command without asking. She had seen the Supreme Commander making that kind of expression. It was the time before Zhang Mengyao ripped Queen Melina's hand. She bowed and brought the boy outside of the house.

"There might be worse things than this one. Are you sure you want to follow me?" Zhang Mengyao asked Kang Xue.

"Have you forgotten my job before the Game? I am a doctor, and I can endure this better than you, actually. Even if you are in the army, you've never been in the war, haven't you?"

Kang Xue indicated that she could bear the scene better than Zhang Mengyao. It was not that she enjoyed seeing the dead body, but she was here just in case Zhang Mengyao needed her.

Zhang Mengyao nodded and headed to the third floor. They did not find anything on the third floor, "Where's the father?" She was looking for the boy's father. The best thing she could do for the boy was to give his parents better funerals for him to see them for the last time.

"They don't have an attic, then maybe the underground room?" Kang Xue made a guess.

Both came down to the first floor and looked for the underground room, and they found a stair to the basement floor. Zhang Mengyao did not hesitate to come down as Kang Xue followed closely behind her. Before they reached the basement floor, they smelled a rotten smell. They followed the rotten smell that led them to a locked door.

Zhang Mengyao placed her palm on the door and pushed it with her strength. The door broke easily, and as the door fell off, they saw a body hanging up in the middle of the room. The body hung upside-down, stark naked, and without a doubt, the body was the father of the boy.

There was a line of dried blood from his crotch down to the neck and face. The man lost his manhood; as if it was not enough, they dug out the man's eyeballs too. Of course, the body was in a horrible state with many cuts, and the man had lost all the skin on his left foot.

Zhang Mengyao looked away from the body. She came out of the room and threw up everything she ate. Kang Xue came next to her and channeled the Light Elemental Power. It eased Zhang Mengyao's nausea, and she did not stay long in the basement as she ran back to the first floor. She thought Tang Shaoyang was cruel enough with his torture, but there were always crazier people outside there.

She did not stay long in the house, but she marked the house to remember to retrieve the body after they took over the city. Alvarina was standing next to the door with the boy still sleeping in her embrace. Zhang Mengyao took a deep breath and changed her focus to the three knights in front of the house. She squatted next to the two knights in front of the door, "Was it you who killed the woman and the man inside?" Her voice was calm despite the chilling gaze in her eyes.

One of the knights seemed so scared and immediately confessed, "It's not just me, but all of us. We slept with the woman in turn for three days, and we were the last in line!"

"Stupid! What are you doing!?" The other knight called out his friend from confessing.

"I see," Zhang Mengyao nodded and said in a low voice, "This is the first time having a desire to kill and torture someone.....

"Bring the boy back to the camp, now!" Alvarina rushed back out of the city with the boy in her embrace. She knew what Zhang Mengyao wanted to do with the three knights.

Right after Alvarina left, one of the laying down knights stood up and tried to fight back after hearing Zhang Mengyao's words. However, Zhang Mengyao was just faster than the knight. Her hand reached the knight's face and slammed the knight down to the ground. She smashed her head onto the floor repeatedly. The knight let out an unclear scream, but Zhang Mengyao did not stop until the last moment.

"I am not done yet," Zhang Mengyao glanced at Kang Xue, "Heal him! This is not enough for what they have done!"

Kang Xue used her Light Elemental to heal the injured knight. While the blood remained on the ground, the knight was pulled back from the death door. The moment his consciousness returned, Zhang Mengyao raised her right foot and stomped on the knight's crotch.

"ARRGGGHHHHHH!" The piercing scream rang in the air, but she did not stop. She kept stomping the knight's crotch repeatedly until a small pool of blood was created on the ground.

The three knights whimpered in pain on the ground as their crotch area was wet from the blood. All the three knights experienced their penis getting stomped by Zhang Mengyao, and for sure, it was something that a man would never want to experience. That was the worst nightmare for every man.

"I think I am broken," Zhang Mengyao blurted out of nowhere.

"Huh!? What do you mean? They deserve it for what they have done. There's no need to feel guilty for what you have done to them," Kang Xue tried to comfort Zhang Mengyao, but she received an unexpected response.

"What are you talking about? I don't feel bad for them," Zhang Mengyao looked at Kang Xue as if the latter was crazy, "I think I am broken because this shit is giving me satisfaction. I can't imagine myself satisfied with doing this before, but this one is so refreshing."

Kang Xue was stunned for a moment as she did not know how to respond. It was surely weird to feel satisfied from doing this, and 'She might be broken,' The head of the Healer Division thought to herself.

Zhang Mengyao shrugged and was about to take the lance. She intended to cut the three knight's limps, but she changed the method. She did not take the weapon and reached the nearest knight to grab.

Kang Xue knew what Zhang Mengyao wanted to do and shook her head. But then, she did not bother to stop her sister as she remembered what the husband and wife had gone through. The Supreme General tore the knight's limps, and their screams echoed in the air. As usual, her job was to ensure the knights did not die. Zhang Mengyao did not just want the knights to experience the pain but the humiliation as well.

After tearing the three knights' limps, Zhang Mengyao dragged the three knights. She tied the three knights' necks with the random rope she found nearby, then she dragged them toward the center of the city. The knight's cries were heard in the night, and she noticed that some civilians peeked out through their windows to see what happened.

It was supposed to take a few minutes of walking to reach the central command of the rebel army in Harnian City, but Zhang Mengyao took her time and spent fifteen minutes before arriving in front of the luxurious main gate of a big mansion.

Wei Xi looked at the three limbless knights behind Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue. Looking at Zhang Mengyao's upset expression, he glanced at Kang Xue. The latter shook her head, indicating not to say anything. The smart Vice Supreme Commander heeded the warning and chose to ignore the situation before reporting the status.

"A large group tried to escape from the city, but we managed to stop them. No gate was breached after we took control of it. The rebel army will not notice that we have taken over Harnian City for a few days, at least," If the rebel army did not send a report periodically, the main force of the rebel army would notice this. They only had a few days to catch the rebel army by surprise.

Also, thanks to their precaution to take over the other three main gates, they managed to contain the rebel army in the city. Just like that, the battle to take over Harnian City was officially over. The Tang Empire had taken Harnian City within a single night attack.

"What about the rebel army's leader in this city? Did you capture them alive?" Zhang Mengyao nodded.

"Actually, Lady Aleesa and Lady Sylvia told me not to enter the mansion after we captured it. The rebel army's leaders should be alive, but they seem to be upset with those leaders for some reason," Wei Xi said in a low voice.

The subordinates reflected what kind of person the leader was. There was no need for her to enter the mansion to find what the rebel army's leaders did as she had guessed it already, "Take all the rebel armies into the cell. We will execute them tomorrow."

"What? We will execute the rebel army?" Wei Xi was surprised to hear the command. He thought they applied their usual method, accepting the surrendered enemies and turning themselves into war slaves. What surprised him more was the fact that the command came from Zhang Mengyao herself, not Tang Shaoyang.

"Yes. They don't deserve a second chance," Zhang Mengyao nodded and proceeded into the mansion, leaving Wei Xi outside.

Once Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue entered the mansion, they saw a lot of women covering themselves with the blanket. The women cowered in fear at the corner of the room, but these women were more fortunate than the woman she found. Looking at these people, she guessed it right. The leaders of the rebel army took the women and used them as sex slaves.

"They really don't deserve a second chance," Kang Xue muttered..

Chapter 892: Second Floor ⁓ Beast in Human Skin
"This is frustrating and interesting at the same time,' Zhang Mengyao thought to herself. It was interesting that the King of the second floor could cover up the fact that this world was just a second floor of the dimensional tower. Twelve Kingdoms and millions of living beings, yet the King of the second floor managed to pull up such a tricky trick. It was interesting to crack the mystery. However, it was frustrating because she knew this would take a long time to solve the mystery of King. She wanted to finish the second floor before Tang Shaoyang returned from the trial.

'Let's focus on what's in front of you first, Zhang Mengyao! Don't let greed take you over and cause a fatal mistake!' She warned herself as she entered the city through the main road.

Most of the buildings were completely shut off, but there were also knights laid down on the ground with their weapons a few meters away from them. She was not expecting that the trading center of the Athilia Kingdom was this bad. She could see the trashes all over the street, "Is this what Harnian looks like, Alvarina?"

Zhang Mengyao did not hear the answer from her slave. She turned toward the former Queen's protector and found out the latter was confused with the Harnian's living condition, "Do you hear me, Alvarina? Does Harnian always like this?"

Alvarina snapped out of her daze and shook her head, "NO! It must be the rebel army. They took over the city, but they did not bother to manage the city! We-The Athilia Kingdom lost Harnian City to the rebel army seven days ago, so they have been neglecting the city since then."

Zhang Mengyao nodded, but then she suddenly stopped at the finer house than the others. It was obvious the house belonged to the rich people in the city, but she could see the dust on the windows, and the door had been roughed up. There were three knights laid down in front of the house. One of them lay below the window, and the other two lay down in front of the door.

Instead of continuing toward the core of the city, she opened the door. The door was opened with a gentle push, and it made a creaky noise. She stopped by the house because she heard faint sobbing from the house. Alvarina and Liang Suyin heard faint sobbing when they entered the house.

Inside the house was a mess, and it smelled bad as Alvarina and Liang Suyin immediately covered their noses. Zhang Mengyao did not care about the bad smell as she rushed to the second floor. When she arrived on the second floor, the sobbing stopped, but Zhang Mengyao had found where the voice came from.

She stopped by the opened door and saw a boy, around five or seven years old. He was holding a knife with both hands, pointing the knife toward her. She was not bothered with the knife but the body on the bed behind the boy. A woman with dark brown hair lay down on the bed with her eyes closed. From the neck down to her feet was covered by a white blanket.

"D-don't come, o-or I-I will stab you!" "The boy threatened Zhang Mengyao. He tried to look firm and strong, but tears were gathering in his eyes. It was for sure the boy was the one who made the sobbing noise, but he tried to suppress it.

Zhang Mengyao took a deep breath and released it in one go. Then she returned the lance to the inventory and opened her helmet and also her armor, putting them back into her inventory. She wanted to appear harmless to the boy. The boy was surprised for a moment that it was Zhang Mengyao behind the heavy armor. But he still held the knife firmly, protecting the body.

She forced a smile and said, "I am not from the Rebel Army. Put down the knife and calm down. Let me check your Mommy, okay? Maybe this sister can help your Mommy,"

"Who are you? Are you from the King's Army?" The boy shook as he finally found hope. The hope that would bring him and his mother out of this hell.

"I am not from the King's Army but the Tang Empire. We have taken over the city and will free you all from these bad guys. Can I come in?"

Zhang Mengyao was cautious as she was afraid the boy would hurt himself with the knife in his hand. The boy lowered the knife, and she entered the room. The first thing she did was take the knife from the boy and hug him, rubbing his back, attempting to calm him down, "It's okay. You will be fine now. There's no one who will hurt you anymore."

She did not check the woman in bed because she knew the mom was dead. The woman was no longer breathing, leaving behind a pained expression before death came for her.

The boy cracked in tears out loud and hit Zhang Mengyao's back repeatedly, "WHY? WHY? WHY ARE YOU ONLY COMING NOW? WHY? WHY? WHY?" The boy's voice filled the room.

Zhang Mengyao closed her eyes and let the boy vent his emotion on her. The only thing she did was rub his back, trying to calm him down. After a whole minute, her shoulder was wet with the boy's tears, and the boy stopped moving. After that, she heard stable breathing as the boy fell asleep.

She carried the boy and stood up. Her right hand moved to the blanket; she wanted to find out the cause of the woman's death. Her hand stopped midair as she hesitated to open the blanket.

She ended up pulling the blanket away from the woman's body after some hesitation and saw something she feared the most.

Zhang Mengyao pulled a deep breath and closed her eyes at the sight of the woman's condition. Her chest heaved up and down chaotically as she did not expect there were people doing this kind of thing.

"These bastards are beasts in human skin!" Liang Suyin's suppressed raging voice came out from behind..

Chapter 891: Second Floor ~ Taking Over Harnian City
Alvarina lowered her sword slowly as her pupils enlarged at what she witnessed. The rebel army was falling as arrows rained them down. Each of the arrows precisely pierced the head and killed them in one hit. She was shocked by the precise shoot that barely missed the head. The Queen's protector turned her head and looked at the elves on the wall.

She knew that elves were known for their archery, but this was just above her expectation. There was no overlapping shoot, one arrow for one person. Of course, the rebel army quickly reacted to the arrow as they rushed in with the defensive barrier. Looking at how the rebel army reacted to the archers, Alvarina raised her sword once more. She thought it was time for the close combat forces to enter the battle.

Bang!

Alvarina flinched slightly at the loud sound and subconsciously looked toward the noise. She saw the falling body of the rebel army, but the body had no head. The explosion just now was that the knight's head exploded.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After the first explosion, it was followed by more explosions. Alvarina's heartbeat sped up as she witnessed live of the heads explode because of the mana arrow. The barrier could not hold the mana arrow, and the mana arrow exploded as it pierced the rebel army's people's heads. Just like a balloon popped out, that was what she watched now. The ground was tainted with red blood.

Alvarina lowered her sword once more as she realized that she was not needed at all. But then, three figures leaped into the sky and blocked the incoming mana arrows. Thanks to the three people, the rebel army managed to advance closer to the Tang Empire's force. She looked up and recognized the three people. They were the Epic Rank from the rebel army.

She thought the real battle would start now since the three Epic Ranks had come out. The Queen's protector was about to raise her sword to help her new master. But then, three mana arrows, leaving a green streak, struck each of the Epic Rank.

The barriers formed by the three Epic Ranks were useless against the incoming arrows. The three Epic Ranks fell into the building below them, and the barrier disappeared. With the barrier gone, the rebel army kept receiving the mana arrows. A few rebel armies managed to reach the Tang Empire's frontline, but the Tarriors rushed toward them and killed them off.

At the same time, Alvarina noticed Wei Xi, Marshal Alton, and Vice Marshal Allan move toward the three falling Epic Ranks. She did not know how strong the three people were, but she was sure the three Epic Ranks were doomed. She saw that the mana arrow inflicted a heavy injury on them. The battle continued for another ten minutes before the rebel army stopped showing up.

The dead bodies were piling in front of them, and most of them died with their heads exploded or their heads pierced by the arrow. The Elven Archers took down all the rebel army in the Harnian City. She was overwhelmed by how the Tang Empire battled the rebel army.

Then a red-haired girl came next to Zhang Mengyao, and Alvarina overheard their conversation, "What should we do to the body? Should we save them for Shaoyang, or do you want me to burn them all?"

This was the first time she heard the name Shaoyang. She was pretty sure there was no one around her Master named Shaoyang. Curiosity got her, but she threw the thoughts into the back of her head because she was still on the battlefield, 'Also, why do they need to save the body? Necromancy?'

"Just burn them all. We need the city clean, and we don't want the city to be plagued with strange diseases because of the dead bodies. Just save the Epic Rank's bodies," Zhang Mengyao set her command.

Liang Suyin nodded, and the bright flame flared out from her feet, moving toward the dead bodies. The flame looked alive as it moved and swallowed the dead bodies. The flame did not even burn the build it passed through as if it only identified the dead bodies as the target. Thousands of bodies were burned to the crisp within two minutes, clearing the path for the Tarrior to advance forward.

As soon as Liang Suyin pulled back the flame, Zhang Mengyao motioned her hand forward, commanding the Tarriors to take over the city. She believed that more than half of the rebel army was dead, and it should be easier for them to take over the city. The Tarriors flooded into the city, and their shouts could be heard across the city.

"Throw down your weapon, and you will be spared!" "If you are ordinary civilians, don't come out of your house!" "Surrender or die!"

Those kinds of shouts rang in the air and were followed by the chaotic battle in the city. After the rebel army's initial plan to take over the eastern wall back, they quickly gave up on the city and tried to escape from Harnian City. The knights were running toward the other three main gates, the north, the west, and the south.

"I am worried about Lu An. I don't know; there will still be a lot of rebel armies after their initial attack on us," Zhang Mengyao muttered in a low voice.

Lu An's intelligence team was small in number, around three hundred people who followed into the dimensional tower. Lu An and Yeon Hee were the only Epic Ranks, while the others were level 800 on average.

"Then I will go and check on them, Mistress," Wrath flew off her shoulder and headed toward the southern wall without hearing Zhang Mengyao's reply.

There were a lot of confusing things within the unknown force called the Tang Empire. For example, the golden lizard always sleeps on Zhang Mengyao's shoulder. She thought it was an exotic pet, but she seemed to be wrong about the guess. The Elven Armies that exceeded her expectations, and more things. The Tang Empire consisted of beasts, beastmen, elves, and also humans. Something she would never expect for them to work together harmoniously.

"They are not as strong as you thought, Sis," Liang Suyin nudged the Supreme General's waist, "If the Athilia Kingdom is troubled with this kind of rebel army, I think we can easily take over the kingdom."

Alvarina was about to refute the red-haired girl for looking down on the kingdom she was proud of, but she quickly realized she was not in the position to act like that. She was a mere slave of the Supreme General of the Tang Empire. That was her new identity.

Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "We are just touching the surface of the second floor. Don't be careless; they may bite us back if we are too careless. We have to remain cautious even with Marshal Alton, Legion Commander Moonsong, and Sir Revalor with us."

Alvarina followed the two women with a frown on her forehead. There was something she did not understand from the part: we were just touching the surface of the second floor. She did not understand the second floor part, 'What are they talking about? Second floor? We are on the second floor?'

'It seems Alvarina really did not know anything about the dimensional tower, Zhang Mengyao thought to herself after seeing the confusion on Alvarina's expression..

Chapter 890: Second Floor ⁓ Night Attack - Part 2
Melina caressed her daughter's hair, who was sleeping on her lap. She saw a glimpse of death today. It shook her to the core, but she could not let her daughter see it. She had to stay strong for her daughter.

"You don't help them to take over the city? You are quite strong, much stronger than me, at the least. Your presence on the battlefield will be a great boost," The Queen opened the conversation with Kang Xue, who was sitting across from her.

Melina had witnessed how fast the woman in front of her was, and she was pretty sure that the woman in front of her was even stronger than the two knights next to her. However, she did not understand why the woman would stay behind in each battle. On top of that, the enemy was not just a few hundred rebel armies this time, but thousands.

Kang Xue shook her head, "My ability is not suitable for the night attack. But why are you so concerned about the battle outside? Wouldn't it be better for you if my Sister died?" She smiled while reading the Queen's expression.

"I am not sure about that. It's not like I will get my freedom back if she dies in the battle. My status is still the same, the hostage. You are losing in the battle against the rebel army may turn things worse for me. At least you guys still treat me as a human being, but it will be different if the rebel army catches me," Melina smiled bitterly.

"That's true, and you are quite wise for having those thoughts, and yet you made a stupid decision. I just don't understand why," Kang Xue looked serious when she asked that.

She had helped the Queen to smooth the talk with Zhang Mengyao, and a deal was made. At that point, there was no need for Melina to play tricks with them. Once the Tang Empire was associated with the Athilia Kingdom, they would have to help the kingdom to quell the rebellion eventually. Thanks to those small tricks, The Queen had to pay a big price for it. Not just Zhang Mengyao no longer trust her, but she had to experience one of her hands getting torn apart.

Melina did not hide it from Kang Xue and spilled everything. There was no point hiding it anyway. She told Kang Xue that it was not her idea but her protector, Alvarina's idea.

"Yeah, you are lucky that you don't have to deal with our husband in that part. If it's my husband, I don't think you and your protector would be alive by now, and you may experience something worse than your hand ripped apart," Kang Xue let out a sigh and got up from the chair upon noticing the
little girl woke up, "You can stay in this tent for the night.... Ah, that may not be the case. I think we will move into the city in a few hours; just get ready for the move."

Kang Xue turned around while waving her hand. She sympathized with the little girl for being involved in this part; that was why she tried to help the Queen. Looking at the little girl made her remember about her newborn niece.

Harnian's southern wall

"Do you hear it?" A group patrol of three guards stopped moving as one of them heard a suspicious movement.

"Hear what? It's totally quiet," Another guard dismissed it with a wave of his hand. The third guard shrugged as he heard nothing as well. However, the alerted guard was not convinced with that and came near the edge of the wall. His head poked out of the wall and looked down. The moment he did that, he saw a large group of rabbit beastmen on the wall.

Before he could say anything to warn the others, Moonsong leaped up and pulled out the guard's head from the body. The guard's body took three steps back before falling onto the ground, making a clanking noise. The other two guards looked toward the noise and were shocked at their friend's headless body. Their eyes widened in shock, and their mouths gaped open.

It took a while for them to register that they were under attack. However, their vision turned upside down, and they realized they had lost the ability to speak, "Oops," Grand Elder Olming caught the falling head, "We are getting too old for this and almost fail for an easy task like this."

"That's true. My backache is getting worse by the day," Grand Elder Auron tapped his back waist with his free hand while the other hand was holding the guard's head.

"Then prepare your successor to succeed in your position, Grand Elders. Then I will retire you two from the battlefield," Moonsong landed between the two Grand Elders.

Grand Elder Olming squinted his eyes and stared at Moonsong, "Retiring us from the battlefield? Does that mean you will work us outside the battlefield even after choosing our successor?"

"Of course, you still need help to rebuild our tribe. We are just moving into a new world, and I will stay with the Tang Empire's main force most of the time, so you need to help me with our new home," Moonsong smiled at the two old men.

"Then this old man would work on the battlefield for another few years," Grand Elder Olming took back his decision to retire.

"Spare me with the menial work. I would rather stay on the battlefield than manage those rascals," Grand Elder Auron nodded in agreement with Grand Elder Olming.

"We are still on the battlefield, Father. You are not supposed to have a chat unrelated to the battle with the Grand Elders. What if the enemy's Ancient Rank comes out and attacks us? I don't think The Emperor will like it when he hears that a few of us die because you have a chat with the Grand Elder." Sylvia arrived at her father's side and criticized her father's conduct.

Moonsong smiled bitterly when he heard that from her daughter, "You just married him like a month ago? Isn't it too fast to change sides? Shouldn't you keep this a secret for your father?"

Sylvia rolled her eyes and ignored her father's words, "We have taken over the wall. We are waiting for your order to open the gate."

Alvarina watched everything unfold before her eyes, how fast the Moon Tribe took over the wall. She was surprised and stunned by how they took over the wall so easily like that. For sure, the Tang Empire had an advantage of the night attack and the ambush, catching the rebel off guard. However, the flawless movement from the Moon Tribe was just amazing for taking over thousands of meters long city walls.

After receiving the signal from Moonsong, Zhang Mengyao led the Tang Empire's force close to the wall. She brought a hundred thousand forces into the dimensional tower, but not all of them were the combat forces. A small part of them were healers and army cooks. So she did not bring all a hundred thousand forces to take over the city, but seventy thousand forces. The remaining combat forces stayed outside and guarded the non-combat forces against the worst scenario.

As soon as they reached the wall, Virion led the elven archer to climb the wall. They did not enter the city through the main gate because they could not open the gate yet. The steel gate would make a loud noise if they opened it, and it would alert the rebel army. They did not want that to happen because they needed the elven archer to be ready on the wall before starting the battle.

After all the elven archers climbed the wall, Moonsong led his tribe to the northern wall. They had to secure the northern and western wall, to cut the rebel army's retreating path. They did not want the rebel army to notice they had taken over the Harnian City.

"Where's Lu An?" After the Moon Tribe made their move, Zhang Mengyao searched for Lu An. The young man and the intelligence division should take over the southern wall, but she did not see him around.

"I think Sir Lu An was already leaving with his team the moment we arrived here, Supreme General Zhang," Marshal Alton noticed when the young man left them; hence he reported it to his superior.

"Hah...." Zhang Mengyao let out a sigh when she heard the report, "I need to scold that guy. At least, he must say something to me before leaving. We will need another five minutes before opening the gate. Five minutes should be enough for them to take over the southern wall and the northern wall."

Exactly five minutes later, Zhang Mengyao signaled Virion to open the gate. If they waited too long, the rebel army might notice they were under attack, so she gave Lu An's team and Moonsong's team an extra five minutes.

Sure enough, the main gate made a loud noise. Once the gate fully opened, the rebel army was alerted to the attack. However, it was too late as the Tarriors flooded into the city through the eastern gate. The Tarriors spread out evenly, standing close to the wall. They would let the rebel army come for them instead of attacking the core of the city.

Zhang Mengyao planned to dwindle the rebel army with the battle in the outskirts before taking over the city. They had a disadvantage because they did not know the city's outline. The rebel army might use that to fight them if they entered the city directly and would suffer big casualties from that.

The bell rang in the air, and the quiet city turned lively with the warning attack. Just like Zhang Mengyao predicted, the rebel army brought their force to take back the eastern wall. Their priority would be taking over the wall back because this wall would be the weakest point for the city.

The rebel army swarmed to the eastern wall, but they moved chaotically with no formation, scrambling their way toward the eastern wall.

Alvarina took out her long sword from the inventory, ready to fight with the incoming rebel army..

Chapter 889: Second Floor ~ Night Attack - Part 1
Zhang Mengyao squatted next to the Queen and slapped her cheek. She did not use her full strength as she just wanted to wake the Queen.

Queen Melina jolted awake and immediately sat after she felt the pain in her cheek. However, she did not put her hand on the cheek but on her left arm. The memory of her hand being torn apart was still vivid in her mind, so she subconsciously reached for her left hand. To her surprise, her left hand was intact. She looked down and frowned afterward. Even the pain was still vivid, but her arm was still there, "A dream?" She muttered.

"Nope, it's real. I tore your hand apart, and I ask my sister to regrow your hand again," Zhang Mengyao replied to the Queen, "That's what you get from testing me repeatedly."

Melina immediately turned to the voice and met with Zhang Mengyao's expressionless visage. The scene where the woman in front of her tore her hand apart resurfaced in her mind once again. There was no hesitation as if this was not the first time Zhang Mengyao tore apart someone's hand. The scene invoked the fear deep inside her as she looked away from Zhang Mengyao.

"There's only one choice for you, Melina. Become my slave, or Larissa has to grow up without her mother," Zhang Mengyao did not care if the woman in front of her or the others looked at her as a monster.

Melina immediately turned toward Zhang Mengyao once more despite the obvious fear in her eyes. She did not speak for a moment as she processed what Zhang Mengyao had told her. A slave was even lower than a commoner, the people with no rights. There was no way she would immediately say yes to that, especially since she was the Queen of a kingdom. With all the privilege she had, there was no way she would say yes to that.

"Will you return Larissa to my husband if you kill me?" Melina gathered the courage and spoke up. She was still trying to negotiate for her daughter.

"No. I will not return your daughter to your husband. If I kill you, there are only two futures awaiting your daughter. First, we kill her to remove the seed of future problems. Your daughter may come for us if she knows her mother was killed by the Tang Empire, and I don't want that to happen," Melina's face lost its color as she imagined her daughter being killed because of her. She thought her daughter would be spared because these people treated her daughter kindly.

"Second, we will raise your daughter as one of us. She may become an assassin, a soldier, or maybe a whore for the soldiers if she is useless."

"I will become your slave, but-" Before Melina finished her words, Zhang Mengyao's hand reached her face, holding her cheeks, and brought her face closer, "It seems you are misunderstanding something, Queen. There's no but! This is not a negotiation. Live as my slave and watch your daughter grows up or get killed! You make the decision, Queen!"

Melina's chest heaved up and down. She had never been humiliated like this in her entire life. She was angry but also helpless at the same time. There was nothing she could do about her current predicament, listen or die. Dying was not the scariest thing in her life, but she could not help but imagine what her daughter must have gone through if she chose to die.

'Live! I have to live! As long as I am alive, there's a chance for me to change the future. Endure this, Melina! Endure this!' Melina took a deep breath to calm herself from her anger and the other emotions that bubbled inside her. She opened her eyes and looked up to Zhang Mengyao, "I will take your offer to be your slave." Her face turned red after saying that. From a Queen who was respected by many people to a slave of someone else. She was ashamed this happened to her and never thought this day would come at her.

Selena held another oath ceremony for the Queen this time. After the oath ceremony was over, Zhang Mengyao asked Arina and Selena to bring the Queen away from the tent, "Bring her to her daughter, and you stay here," She pointed at the kneeling Alvarina. The Queen's protector was still kneeling, too ashamed to look at the Queen.

After Queen Melina left the tent, Zhang Mengyao returned to her seat and motioned to the others to come, "There will be a slight change with our plan. We will still take this city, but instead of getting to the King's good side, we will take over the Athilia Kingdom. Let's do it or die! I would rather die on the battlefield than die because someone is playing tricks on me. That's a silly way to die, so there will be no ally for us in the dimensional tower. Die or obey us!"

"Any complaints?" Zhang Mengyao scanned the people in the tent, and all of them shook their heads, indicating they would follow her plan, "Good. We will attack the city at midnight. I want The Moon Tribe to take over the wall and open the gate for the main army. Do you think you can do it, Legion Commander Moonsong?"

Moonsong smiled, "The Moon Tribe will not disappoint you, Supreme General Zhang." This was the chance to prove their worth to Zhang Mengyao, earning her trust for the future of the Moon Tribe in The Tang Empire.

"Mnn," Zhang Mengyao nodded, "Where's Virion?" She waved her hand, indicating not to answer her question, "I want the Elven archers to occupy the wall and use them as our support to fight the rebel army. We will use this area as the battleground as the knights and Tarriors will lure the rebel army near the wall. As for us, as usual, we will wait in the dark until the enemy's commander and Epic Ranks appear."

"How many Epic Ranks does the rebel army have, Alvarina!?" She asked the defeated protector. Each time she went to the battlefield, she always thought of a plan that would cost them the minimum casualties or even no casualties. Each battle, she would ask the Epic Ranks and above to spread out and hide, getting ready to fight the enemy's Epic Ranks if they were to appear. That way, they could react in time and did not give the Epic Ranks a chance to kill the Tarriors.

"The rebel army leader is an Ancient Rank, but we are not sure the number of the Epic Ranks. From The Athilia Kingdom's intelligence, the rebel army should have at least forty Epic Ranks. However, most of the Epic Ranks are in the front-line fighting against the King's army," Alvarina answered truthfully.

"This should be easy," Zhang Mengyao muttered in a low voice, "You will sneak into the city and gather the information for us, Lu An. Don't use your detection skill; those Epic Ranks will notice you if you use the skill on them. Just gather information for us and mark where the important people may live. After securing the eastern wall, we will confine the remaining rebel army in the city to ensure there's no leak that we have taken over the city."

"What about me? I mean, what shall I do during the night attack? You have not assigned me or the TEID any task for the night battle," Lu An raised his hand.

Zhang Mengyao fell silent for a moment before taking the sleeping cat on the table and handing it to Lu An, "Bring Greed with you and secure the western wall for me. Make sure no one gets out of the city and do it silently."

*** ***

As the black curtain covered the whole sky, the Tang Empire's army was ready to launch their night attack. Moonsong was in the front, leading his tribe for the night attack. The Moonlight Rabbit did not use any weapons. Their claws were their weapon, and they wore all black clothes like a ninja. The black outfit was the perfect cover for the night attack.

"We are ready, Supreme General Zhang," Moonsong reported.

Zhang Mengyao stood next to him, closing her eyes. She never led a big battle against another faction or kingdom like this. This was the first time, and she was visibly nervous. She had the trauma where her plan failed and led to casualties in the early days when the Tang Empire had to defend the smart base against the zombie horde. Even though she had slowly overcome her trauma, it always came back to haunt her.

"There's no need to worry, Master's woman. You have me here for the emergency scenario. If things don't go as you planned, leave everything to me," Wrath could sense the nervousness from Zhang Mengyao and comforted her. This woman was his Master's mate, and it was his duty to protect her in the Master's absence.

"Yes, please trust us, Supreme General Zhang. We will not disappoint you," Marshal Alton, who usually did not talk, tried to comfort his superior as well.

"I am fine. This just reminds me of my past trauma," Zhang Mengyao shook her head. She took a breath and released it in one go, "Go ahead, Moonsong. Start the night attack!"

After receiving the green light from the Supreme Commander, Moonsong motioned his hand forward. That was a signal for his people to follow him. In the next second, Moonsong's figure disappeared. At the same time, the Moonlight Rabbit around Zhang Mengyao also disappeared.

Alvarina had been following her new Master, and she was shocked as she was not able to track Moonsong's movement. She could see the other Moonlight Rabbit's movement but not Moonsong and the other two old Moonlight Rabbits. The other two old Moonlight Rabbits were Grand Elder Olming and Grand Auron.

"You are so proud of your kingdom, aren't you? We will show what the Tang Empire is capable of," Zhang Mengyao said to Alvarina..

Chapter 888: Second Floor ~ Extreme Measure
The deal was that the Tang Empire helped the Athilia Kingdom to take back one city from the rebel army, then the Queen would be the mediator so they could meet the King. With the deal, Queen Melina should lead them to the city that was close to The King's armies instead of the furthest city from the King's armies. However, Queen Melina took advantage of Zhang Mengyao's ignorance of the geographic location of the Athilia Kingdom to take back Harnian City. Obviously, The Queen was playing tricks on them as she showed the map at the last moment like this.

Zhang Mengyao massaged the space between her eyes and glanced at Queen Melina. Meeting with her chilling gaze, Melina flinched slightly. This was the first time Zhang Mengyao showed that kind of expression. Zhang Mengyao did not make such an expression even when she threatened Melina.

The Queen immediately regretted listening to Alvarina's advice. That was right; the idea of leading this force to Harnian was Alvarina's, The Queen's personal protector. These people could cancel the deal or even give her to the rebel army and leave afterward. The Queen started thinking of the worst situation that could happen to her.

"Since The Queen does not honor the deal, we can move with plan B," Marshal Alton spoke. There was no plan B; this was just a farce to scare the Queen, "We can hand over the Queen to the rebel army and help the rebel army to take down the Athilia Kingdom instead. What we need is The King, so we just need a few moments with the King after the Athilia Kingdom falls."

Queen Melina gripped her dress tightly as the worst came true. The Queen kept glancing at Alvarina next to her, blaming her personal guard for convincing her to make such a decision.

"You don't want to make the Gienas Kingdom and the Athilia Kingdom your enemy, believe me!" Alvarina stood in front of Queen. She confronted Zhang Mengyao and the others without fear, "Isn't that the reason why you offer us a deal, not to make the Athilia your enemy? Helping the kingdom quell the rebellion will even out the fact that you tried to kidnap the Queen."

Instead of getting angry, Zhang Mengyao let out a chuckle, but her eyes were hollow of emotion, "Thank you for convincing me to take an extreme measure. If a mere Queen's personal bodyguard is this arrogant, I can imagine that the King will be even more pain in the ass." She crossed her hands, placed her elbows on the table, and looked toward the arrogant guard, "Since you don't want us to treat you and your kingdom as an equal ally, we will make you all be The Tang Empire's slave. We will start with you. Alvarina, is it?"

Zhang Mengyao did not command anyone, but Marshal Alton, Legion Commander Moonsong, and Revalor immediately moved. The three individuals surrounded the Queen and her personal bodyguard. There were two more knights, but they were outside the tent.

As the three men surrounded them, a streak of light passed through. Kang Xue appeared next to Alvarina and caught her off guard. Kang Xue kicked Alvarina in the side of the stomach, sending her flying to the side. Of course, the kick was nothing to Alvarina, but by the time she recovered from the kick, she saw Kang Xue punch The Queen in the stomach, causing her to kneel down.

Kang Xue then held the Queen by the neck and turned toward Alvarina, "If you don't want to lose the Queen, you better follow everything that I say!"

The Queen struggled. While The Queen was not an Epic Rank, she was still level 631, stronger than ordinary citizens but not strong enough to fight Kang Xue. Her face turned red, and Alvarina could only look at the Queen being strangled. All of this was out of her expectation. She thought they treated them well after knowing Melina's identity and did not want to make an enemy out of the Athilia Kingdom. But she was clearly wrong with her assumption; these people did not care about the Athilia Kingdom.

Zhang Mengyao stood up and approached the Queen and Kang Xue, "That's not how you threaten an obstinate bitch, Kang Xue." She pulled the Queen's hand and tore it apart.

"ARGHHHHHHH—" Queen Melina let out a scream and fainted right after that.

Alvarina's eyes widened in shock as she could not believe the opposite party would do that to the Queen. The Queen lost her left hand as blood flowed out from the missing part. However, Zhang Mengyao did not stop there as she took the Queen from Kang Xue's hand, laying Melina down on the ground. She held the Queen's right hand with her right foot on the Queen's stomach.

"Will you become my slave?" Alvarina snapped out of her shock when those words entered her ears. Without a doubt, the Queen's remaining hand would be ripped apart if she did not give the answer Zhang Mengyao wanted from her. She then heard scuffling from outside. That must be her subordinates who got taken care of.

Alvarina opened her mouth, but the words did not come out. She was not willing to be enslaved. The famous Slayer of Athilia did not want to lower herself to be enslaved, but if she did not become a slave, the person she was supposed to protect would die horribly.

Zhang Mengyao started to pull the remaining hand, "No, don't! I will become your slave! Don't kill Queen Melina!" Alvarina threw her long sword aside and knelt.

Her mind went blank while blaming herself for this to happen deep inside. She thought these people would not dare to do anything to them, especially after making a fatal mistake such as letting Carina Stanion and her knight leave. On top of that, with their identity, there should be no people who dare to touch the Queen, let alone tear her hand apart. Everything before her was not logical to her train of thoughts.

"I will get Selena and Arina," Kang Xue left the tent while shaking her head. What The Queen did was almost stupid, but she could understand the way of their thinking. It was just hard to believe that a hundred thousand people were to challenge the kingdom that had more armies. If it was the other, then it made sense, but not with the Tang Empire.

"Don't ask anything, but just do your job," That was what Kang Xue told Selena before they entered the tent. Selena looked at the unconscious queen and the kneeling down knight, then she looked at Zhang Mengyao's expression. Selena quickly understood what Kang Xue talked about. While she was curious about what happened, she did not ask.

Alvarina followed what Selena said, word by word. Zhang Mengyao and Alvarina glowed in bright light, indicating both were bound by an oath, or more like Alvarina bound to Zhang Mengyao. The Queen's protector no longer had the freedom after the oath.

After the oath ceremony, Arina squatted next to the Queen and cast the [Regeneration] on the missing arm. The missing arm slowly regenerated, and it fully regenerated after a full ten minutes. No one left the tent during that ten minutes.

Looking at the regenerating arm, Alvarina was relieved for some reason. She lost her freedom, but she managed to recover the Queen's hand as well. That reduced the guilt she had for the Queen, for sure..

Chapter 887: Second Floor ~ Differences
"Do you think this will work?" Krishan Adwani had a doubt that their plan worked out. He felt like the King did not trust them at all.

"Haven't you heard it? The King said he would inform the other kingdoms, meaning he took this seriously," Hines Myers had a smug face as he placed his feet on the table. Even though the King did not fully believe him, he managed to put a seed of trust in the King. He just needed to wait for the King to do an investigation by himself. Since the Tang Empire brought thousands of armies with them, they would be easily spotted.

"We have done the first plan, but how do we clear the second floor? We don't know how the Tang Empire cleared the first floor, and none of us know how to clear this damn floor, too," Scot Moran was more concerned about the following plan. The initial plan to make the inhabitants go against the Tang Empire went smoothly. While the Tang Empire was busy with the inhabitants, they would clear the second floor. That was the whole plan, but they did not know how to clear the second floor.

"That's easy to solve. The Tang Empire is bound to clash with the kingdom, and we just need to kidnap the lower bottom rank soldiers and interrogate them. One of them should know how to clear the dimensional floor, right?" Hines Myers replied with a complacent smug while shaking his head.

The World Union's Guild Leader felt like the two leaders in front of him were short-sighted and exaggerated things too much over small things. There would always be a way to obtain the information to clear the second floor. The System would not give them something that was impossible to solve.

"But the Tang Empire only brought a thousand or two thousand forces into the first floor. Because of us, they bring tens of thousands, if not a hundred of thousand people. How do we find out the soldier that knows the information?" Scot Moran raised his doubts.

The Blue Vest Guild's leader felt like Hines Myers played down the main issue. First of all, they did not know how loyal the soldiers were to the Tang Empire. Interrogation might not work against them. Second, it was extremely hard to find the right soldier who knew the information they wanted. They could not wait until the war between the inhabitants and the kingdoms was over to start clearing the second floor.

"You are too worrisome, aren't you? Take it easy. The System will not give the impossible task to finish; we have many times to find it out even if we can't get the information from the Tang Empire's soldiers. It's just one means to find the information. We have our people too, and they are actively searching for a way to clear this floor," Hines Myers shook his head, "Our main objective is to regroup with the North Federation and Saint Guild first. We are stronger together, and if this kingdom plays a funny trick, we have an assurance to ensure our safety. After that, we will find a way to clear the second floor together."

The Tang Empire's force

"Why do we let the third young miss of the Stanion Family and her knights leave like that?" Virion mumbled, dissatisfied with Zhang Mengyao's decision to let go of Carina Stanion and her knights.

"Apparently, that third young miss is going to report to the main family for the reinforcement, so we let them go to bring the reinforcement," Legion Commander Moonsong replied, "Don't you remember that we are going to make them our ally instead of our enemy? If that's the case, we can't keep them as our hostage."

"I don't like this," Virion openly said that out, "Lady Zhang Mengyao is more indecisive than His Majesty. If it's him, we will take over the city of the Fanvas, and we start everything from there."

"Watch out with your words, Virion," Moonsong shook his head as he reminded the young king, "We are making moves carefully because His Majesty is not here with us. I think that's why Lady Zhang Mengyao chooses the safe approach. If we want Lady Zhang Mengyao to make a bolder move, we have to earn her trust and show our true strength, so she dares to make a bold move."

The experienced Moonsong understood more about why Zhang Mengyao made such a decision. They had not shown their strength and had not yet earned her trust. The Emperor made a bold move because he was confident in his own strength, not because His Majesty trusted them.

"Yes, you better not say bad things about Sister Mengyao, Elven King," A cold voice resonated in the air. Moonsong and Virion immediately looked toward the voice and found the young man next to them. They recognized this young man as the head of the Tang Empire Intelligence Division, but they knew this young man had a close relationship with The Emperor.

Moonsong smiled, "You are misunderstanding it, Sir Lu An. We are not saying bad things about The Supreme General, but we just have different hindsight regarding our current situation. Rather than bad-mouthing, we are criticizing the decision. I think a great leader does not mind a little bit of criticism from her subordinates, right?"

Lu An glanced at the young king before leaving with the shadow movement. The young man accidentally overheard the conversation, and he did not take it kindly.

Moonsong noticed the Elven King stared at the shadow for a long time, "You can't tell me that you are bothered with that, right Virion? He is just an overprotective little brother, and we are in the wrong as well as we are talking about the Supreme Commander on her back."

Virion let out a sigh and massaged the space between his eyes, "I am on edge lately. I am a bit overwhelmed by the work and overly concerned with our new territory. Also, I want to show up a little bit and make a big contribution, hoping His Majesty will forgive my brother and release their slave status."

"Take it slow, Young Man," Moonsong tapped the Elven King's back, "His Majesty treated his people well. Keep doing things with the Empire in your mind, then you will achieve your goal to free your father and brother. His Majesty will reward his people fairly. Also, don't forget that your aunt is His Majesty's wife too, so you can ask a favor from her too, but not this early because it will hinder your aunt's relationship with His Majesty. Just make sure that your people don't make stupid things while we are away."

Virion rolled his eyes, "You don't need to mention the last part, Sir Moonsong. You just make me more anxious now."

At this moment, one of the moonlight rabbits approached Moonsong, "Supreme Commander Zhang Mengyao is asking for your presence, Chief."

Virion furrowed his brow as he was reminded of what happened between him and Lu An. The timing made him think that Moonsong was called because of him, but then he felt his superior's palm on his back once more, "Don't be tense, Virion. Supreme Commander Zhang is not that petty to call us for that reason. We have arrived at our destination, so get ready for our first battle. I will leave our legion in your hand while I attend the meeting."

Chief Moon pointed his finger forward, and Virion followed it. He saw a thirty meters tall wall ahead of them, around one thousand meters ahead. Virion was relieved that it was not about him talking about the Supreme General in the back.

Moonsong shook his head and left his post to the young king and his Grand Elder Auron, heading toward the front. As Chief Moon expected, it was not about the bad-mouthing issue but the plan on attacking the city ahead of them.

The city of Harnian is one of seven major cities of the Athilia Kingdom. The city neighbored the Stanion Family's territory and was the most important city for the Athilia Kingdom because it was the trading city. The heart of Athilia's economy, where trade and transactions happened, is next to the merchant city managed by the Stanion Family. The rebel army had taken over the city for two weeks by now and started pushing toward the capital.

Out of Athilia's seven cities, the rebel army had taken three cities, and those three cities were the most important cities for Athilia aside from the capital. One of the cities was where the biggest granary was located, and the third city was the central armory for the kingdom. The rebels played it well by taking those three cities.

"Why do you take us to this city? Isn't it better to take over the armory or the granary instead?" Wei Xi asked Queen Melina. It was the Queen's decision for them to take over this city instead of the other two cities.

"Of course, she wants us to take over this city. First, this is forcing us to pinch the rebel army between us and the kingdom's main force," Zhang Mengyao pointed at the map that Melina just showed them, "The city with the granary and the armory are between this city and the capital, but I don't like this Queen Melina. You are playing tricks on us with the deal. We are kind enough to help your kingdom, yet you tricked us."

"What do you mean by tricking you? I want you to take over this city because this city is the closest city to the Stanion Family's territory," Queen Melina pretended not to notice the annoyance on Zhang Mengyao's expression.

"Yeah, and after we take the city down, we have to cross the two cities under the rebel army to meet the King's armies, meaning we will not be able to meet the King unless the rebellion is quelled. This is not part of the deal!" Zhang Mengyao raised her voice..
