The spirit summonings surprised Marshal Alton without a doubt, but then he furrowed his brows. The number did not even reach a hundred; how could these additional forces be a help for them?

"Also, you and I are here, so what are you worried about? Don't tell me you are about suggesting to retreat?

" Tang Shaoyang looked at Marshal Alton calmly.

"Even though I said to focus on growing our army's force, that's not our main priority, Marshal Alton. Our priority is to win the war and take over the Lionax Kingdom.

"

"No. I want to suggest you defend the city instead of confronting the Revolution Army until the main force arrives.

" Marshal Alton shook his head. He also understood that retreat was not an option for them, and he never planned to retreat either.

"I think we can do that.

" Tang Shaoyang nodded in agreement.

"Then we will hold the city until the main force arrives.

" He agreed with that and used that time to investigate how strong the Revolution Army was.

The Revolution Army was getting closer to Ailo City, but Vice Marshal Allan had arranged the defense on Ailo City. As for the civilians, Vice Marshall Allan arranged for them to move away from the wall and gate for their safety. The civilians followed the arrangement peacefully since none wanted to get involved in this war.

Forty minutes passed, and the Revolution Army was at their door. The Revolution Army stopped fifty meters away from the Ailo City's wall, making a line. The fully armored knight stood in the front with their shield and sword, while the backline was archers.

Then Tang Shaoyang noticed two people stepping up from the line. One man was wearing white armor without a helmet, and from his appearance, the man looked to be in his mid-thirties. This man looked refined and dignified as if he had a noble origin, but Tang Shaoyang knew who this man was. He was Julius, Marshal Alton's former disciple.

As for the other one, the man looked much older, around in his early fifties. If Julius looked noble, this man's aura was wild and fierce, more like a bandit to Tang Shaoyang. He could say that because he had seen this kind of man before when he was part of gangsters.

"We meet again, Master.

" Julius smiled while looking up to the wall.

"I hope you are doing well.

"

Marsal Alton merely looked at Julius and did not bother to respond to his former disciple. He showed no emotion on his face as well, so people hardly read what was in his mind. Julius was, after all, a disciple who betrayed him.

"Is he your Master?

" Sir Powan looked at the old man on the top wall. He could tell it directly that Julius' Master was a Legend Rank. However, one thing bothered him, and it was the man who stood next to Julius' Master. He could not feel the man's aura, and that was what bothered him even more.

"Yes, he is my Master, and his name is Alton. What do you think, Sir Powan? Can you win against my Master?

" Even though Julius had a smile on his face, he was pretty nervous deep inside. He knew how strong his Master was, and he knew this would not be an easy fight for Sir Powan.

"I think I have a chance against him, but what about the man next to your Master. Do you know him?

" Sir Powan asked Julius. For someone who stood next to Legend Rank, the man must also have status, not just anybody.

Julius glanced at the man next to his Master only when Sir Powan asked him. The man looked much younger than him, and he was not familiar with that face.

"Black hair, yellowy skin, and black eyes?

" He muttered in a low voice. Those characteristics were rare in the Ortis Continent. No, this was Julius' first time seeing someone with that appearance.

"I don't know, but I think he is my Master's new disciple.

"

"Do you think so?

" Sir Powan thought about it, and it made sense for Julius' Master to have a new disciple.

"Let's start the fight since we don't have that much time. Get the archer ready while we prepare the Wall Breaker.

"

Wall Breaker was equipment similar to catapult, but it was used to break the wall and gate. It was siege equipment, using a special projectile imbued with mana. Similar concept to Mana Canon, but Mana Canon used pure mana.

Julius nodded and gave the command to his subordinates for the attack before looking back to his Master.

"Are you not going to greet me, Master? You are too cold for someone who once became my Master. I know you have a new disciple, but a simple greeting will not hurt.

"

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I don't have a disciple. Enough with your nonsense, Julius.

" Marshal Alton responded flatly.

"I started the Revolution Army with my hand, and I will end it with my hands too.

"

"Hahahaha….

" Julius burst out in laughter.

"Your joke is funny as always, Master. You are not the only Legend Rank here. I have Sir Powan that will deal against you while I slaughter the army you have raised all these years.

" A crazed smile formed Julius' face.

"You will never get your vengeance, whether it's against the Lionax Kingdom or me. Today is the day of your death!

"

"What a bold claim.

" Vice Marshal Allan came to Marshal Alton's side and bowed toward Tang Shaoyang. He then looked at Julius with a smile.

"We are here not for vengeance, not anymore. And your Revolution Army can never win against us, little man.

"

Julius' eyes widened in shock when he saw Vice Marshal Allan.

"You!? How could you be here, General Allan?

" He was not expecting Commander Allan to be here. Commander Allan should be at the border of the Warmir Kingdom, attacking the Lionax Kingdom's border.

"I am no longer General Allan but Vice Marshal Allan. I am no longer part of the Warmir Kingdom, and I have served a new Lord.

" Vice Marshal Allan bowed toward Tang Shaoyang..

"He is The Empire of Tang's Emperor, and we are serving under him.

"
