Chapter 669 - First Attack - Part 2

"Yes, My Lord. Our first target would be Bareham City, the city that bordered Gigante Forest." Marshal Alton nodded and pointed at the map on the table. Tang Shaoyang pretended to look at the map even though he could not read the map. "We have sent a group of Elven Scouts to gather information."

"From the information, the city is still in the hands of The Lionax Kingdom\'s nobles. However, the city lord left Bareham with his force when he heard the news about the Revolution Army. The Bareham City\'s defense is relatively lax, and we can send a General and three thousand armies to capture the city." Marshal Alton shared his thoughts with Tang Shaoyang.

"As I said, I will trust my force to you, Marshal Alton. We will follow your plan if no one objects." Tang Shaoyang scanned the other officers, and none of them objected to Marshal Alton\'s plan. "That\'s good. Let\'s start the party, shall we?"

Goldien, the Golden Gator, looked at the city in front of him. He was the enemy of the Empire less than a week ago, yet now he had become a General of The Tang Empire to lead three thousand armies. He glanced at the beastmen and beast armies behind him, most of them relatively weak compared to the main force, but his armies were strong to the people who defended the city.

"We are ready to attack the city, General Goldien." The Silver Gator came toward him and reported. The Silver Gator was Silver\'s successor who was killed by Tang Shaoyang, the new Chief of the Silver Gator Tribe, Roomba. He had become the Vice General, assisting Goldien to lead the army.

"Good, follow me." Goldien walked toward Bareham\'s city gate and stopped fifteen meters away from the gate. "Listen to me, the people of Bareham City! We came to capture Bareham City. If you don\'t want to die, open the gate and surrender!"

There was a squad guarding the gate from the top wall, a squad consisting of twelve people. They looked at each other for a moment before one of them looked at the Captain. "What should we do, Captain? There\'s a monster outside; this never happened before."

It had never happened before that a monster came out of Gigante Forest and attacked the city. At least, no monster had ever attacked Bareham City before. This was the first time because the guard was prioritized to check up on the hunters that came back from the forest rather than guarding the gate from the monster.

The Captain looked at the Golden Gator. Within a single glance, the Captain could tell that the gator was not weak. "You guys wait here. I will report this to Lord Berth first." Lord Berth, the guild leader of Hunter Guild after the noble left the city. He had taken over the city for almost a month. Of course, his position as the Guild Leader was not why people accepted him as the new lord. It was because Lord Berth was a newly ranked Epic Rank.

Lord Berth was the strongest person in the city after the noble family left the city, and people decided to follow him. Just like that, a new hierarchy was formed in Bareham City. The Captain ran to the City Lord Residence. He encountered two guards at the gate of the residence.

"Who are you!?" One of the guards pointed the spear at The Captain.

"I am the Captain Guard, and I want to deliver an emergency message for Lord Berth. A monster came out of the forest, and they said they wanted to capture the city. Please deliver the message to Lord Berth." The Captain Guard did hope to enter the lord\'s residence.

"If monsters attacked the city, why didn\'t you ring the bell? Why would you run to Lord Residence? You look suspicious." Another Guard came closer and observed the Captain Guard.

"It\'s because they seem to want to talk with us. That\'s why I come here to deliver the message to Lord Berth." Captain Guard was already anxious with two strong monsters outside the city wall, yet these guards gave him a hard time. \'Why don\'t you just deliver the message and get over it?\'

"One of you can deliver the message to Lord Berth, and I will stay here with one of you if you are suspicious of me. I will not run away." Captain Guard urged these two gate Guards.

The two guards noticed the urgency in Captain Guard\'s tone and realized that this might be true. They nodded, and one of them entered the residence.

Roomba looked at the wall. "What are they doing? Are they ignoring us?" He could not help but speak in an upset tone because they had not heard an answer in fifteen minutes. "This is taking too long, Chie- General Goldien. The Great Lord will be displeased if we don\'t capture the city as soon as possible."

"Let\'s wait for another five minutes." Golden remained composed even though the city did not respond to him. "We are asked to capture the city, but Marshal Alton also instructed us to take over the city without harming the civilians. So if they surrender without fighting, we can minimize the casualties from the civilians."

"Civilian?" Roomba did not understand the difference between the civilians and the people who fought them.

"Civilians are the residence of the city that can\'t fight. In our terms, it is the old and the children." Goldien looked at his Vice General worriedly. "Remember that! You can\'t harm the people that could not fight."

"What is this? Now the monsters came out of the forest to capture human\'s city?" A deep voice rang from the wall, causing Goldien and Roomba to look toward the voice.
