Chapter 464 - We Have A Chance?

Commander Ashley stopped her freezing aura immediately. She did not doubt the man's words that he would kill Captain Knight Lucas if she did not control her freezing aura.

"Release the prince and the other hostages, then we will hand over the four cities to you!" Commander Ashley said her terms, "We can form a contract if you don't trust me!"

As long as the Prince was in their hand, her hands were tied. Commander Ashley was well aware of this so she prioritized the prince's safety first. On top of that, a direct confrontation was not the solution either.

Native or not, the man could not be underestimated even though his level was lower than her. But she was confident to win the battle if the fight broke out. She was not alone. She had seven Captain Knights on her side, excluding Captain Knight Lucas who had become a hostage.

"It seems I am not expressing it clearly enough. Commander Ashley, I am here not to negotiate with you. Why would I want an empty city that could be captured easily with the prince's life?" Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Do you take me as a fool?"

"Surrender! I might let you guys live if you surrender! That's only the only choice you have…" He paused as he eyed the knights, "No, I love giving a choice actually. First, you surrender, and your prince will be alive. Second, you can choose to fight but your prince will be dead!"

At this moment, another Captain Knight stepped forward, getting closer to Commander Ashley. He was Captain Knight Fer who had scouted the whole area.

"The area is secured. There's no ambush. I didn't find the demon and the undead either, Commander." He reported in a low voice. Little did he know that the enemy could hear him from a distance. It was silly to whisper something like that in front of their enemy.

Commander Ashley nodded. If the Demon and the Undead were not here, they might have a chance. The enemy asked something she would never do, that was surrender. The Prince's life might be important but so did her and her knights' lives. Surrender to the enemy was the same as giving up their lives too. She would rather get the prince killed while saving her knights.

Then Commander Ashley realized that the enemy did not have the intention to negotiate or talk with them, 'Did he talk to stall the time? That might be, there's a cooldown to summon the Demon and the Undead, and the cooldown time is not up yet. This is our chance!'

At the thought, Commander Ashley decided to take this chance. She raised her sword and pointed it toward Tang Shaoyang, "Get ready to engage!"

"It seems you don't mind losing one of your Captain Knight!" Tang Shaoyang grinned and kicked Captain Knight Lucas to the side.

A scream echoed as Captain Knight Lucas' body rolled over to the side. His body stopped in front of Wen and Zhang Mengyao. The signal was clear, the Captain Knight was for them to kill to level up.

Zhang Mengyao and Wen exchanged glances. They were discussing who would get the kill, and Wen relented, "I am eight levels away from evolution, you can take the kill, Lady Mengyao." Wen did not want to be over level despite his desire to evolve quickly.

Zhang Mengyao did not hesitate as she took out the lance from her inventory.

"Don't you dare!" Commander Ashley bellowed with her cold voice. The freezing aura burst out from her body, even fiercer than before. However, Tang Shaoyang's Slayer Energy warded off the freezing aura.

Zhang Mengyao raised her lance and directed the lance to Captain Knight Lucas' neck. Commander Ashley made her move as she tried to save her subordinate even though she knew that her subordinate's life was forfeit for sure because of her decision.

Tang Shaoyang did not delay any longer as he summoned all his spirits. Yes, all of them. When all of them materialized into the world, Zhang Mengyao's lance had torn apart Captain Knight Lucas' neck. She killed him with one strike.

"Woah, killing him gives me twelve levels. This is amazing. I never thought that leveling up was this easy," Zhang Mengyao exclaimed with delight. Li Shuang's body shuddered when she heard what her ex-sister-in-law said after killing the man. For sure, her sister-in-law had changed. No, she adapted to the new world where the strong preyed upon the weak.

Commander Ashley halted her steps and took a big leap backward. She was shocked by the summoning spirits.

"It's them! It's them who killed our comrades! It's them!" Juan shouted to the top of his lungs. Madness and anger mixed within his voice.

Commander Ashley scanned the summoned spirits. She found the three spirits that fit with Juan's description. A Demon Swordsman, holding a one-handed sword and a straw hat. The Undead with two reavers and another Undead with a lance.

The problem was that they had to face the others, not just the Demon and the two Undead. The Dark Wyvern, Demon Prince, a Magus, Chimera, strong Ant, Orc Warrior, and also a knight?

All of them were level 700 with one exception the Orc Warrior who was level 537. While they were at a big advantage by their numbers, now their advantage was gone. The number did not matter if they had overwhelming power.

Once again, Commander Ashley realized that she just led her legion into their doom.

Swoosh!

Aerelion the Dark Wyvern flew toward the sky, leaving the strong gust of wind. Malki the Fire Ant Emperor also followed. They were flying above them, cutting their path to retreat.

"I am going to take the Commander," Bronson the Executioner immediately chose his opponent. He was the strongest amongst the spirits. The other said nothing about it.

Zowen floated above them while Karan the Great Warrior, Zhang Mengyao, and Orlean the Demon Prince flanked from the right. Zaneos the Demon Swordmaster, Feera the Chimera, and Yowe flanked from the left. This was kinda funny that the bigger force was besieged by the smaller force.

The Lionax Kingdom's knights turned around to face the spirits. They had their backs on each other, forming a circle formation.
