Chapter 510 - Four Tribes And Two Guardian Beasts - Part 1

Holding an oath ceremony for over seven hundred individuals took a toll on Selena. Her face paled as the ceremony was over, indicating it was not as easy as it looked to do an oath ceremony.

'I should have brought Arina with me as well,' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself. Without an oath, he was concerned that his tactic to conquer the whole forest within a short time would not work. For some reason, only these two from the Arkania Continent could do the oath ceremony, and the other healers could not.

It seemed the Goddesses, and the Gods in that world taught something that they should not have thought to their followers. That was the most likely possibility.

Lauri did not know what he just experienced but he felt something changed inside him. He looked toward the man who had returned to his human form. It was no longer repulsive as before when he looked at the man. Now, it was more natural to follow the man. That was strange but that was what happened.

Chief Lauri recalled the feeling when the man was still in his transformation, he tried to oppose the feeling that told him to yield to the man. It was uncomfortable, now he felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders after he accepted the man's offer. He strangely felt at ease after all of that.

Chief Lauri snapped out of his thoughts and approached Tang Shaoyang, "My Lord." He greeted the man with a ninety degrees bow while putting his right hand on his chest. The action was natural and Chief Lauri did not feel awkward about it.

"Mnn, prepare a place for us to rest!" Tang Shaoyang commanded the newly acquired subordinate.

"Yes, My Lord," Chief Lauri turned around and spoke to his tribesmen. Tang Shaoyang approached Selena and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Mnn, I am fine. I just need a little rest and we can continue," The girl tried to look strong despite her pale complexion.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "We will take a rest in the Pallarmus Tribe. We need to change some of our plans obviously. Forcing the Chief Tribe and the Elder of the tribe to take the oath instead of all members of the tribe is one of them,"

It was tragic if his woman died from exhaustion from doing the oath ceremony. He would not allow that to happen to Selena. The solution was to not do it many times at one time, so he only needed the Chief and the Elder to take the oath.

"Please follow me, My Lord. We have prepared the best house for you and Mistress to rest," Chief Lauri returned to guide them. The group had dispersed and only the beastmen were left behind, following the Chief to receive their new leader.

Ashley was still at loss in the situation. She had not overcome the shock yet. The Dragon Transformation and how easy it was to conquer a tribe. It was still unbelievable how everything went. Even so, her steps were still following the man in front of her while Aki was not that surprised yet.

"At this rate, it is not impossible to conquer the whole forest. He just needs to transform and all the tribes will follow him," Ashley mumbled in a low voice. Aki who was walking behind her could hear what she was saying. The rat beastmen had to disagree with that as he shook his head. It was not as simple as that.

First, the trick was not going to work with all species or to stronger species. It did not work for him, the Dragon Aura did not affect him, at all. Second, not all the beast or the beastmen revered a dragon. Many were hostile to a dragon as well. Third, Aki had seen someone that much stronger than Tang Shaoyang. Conquering the Gigante Forest was not possible. At least, Aki did not see Tang Shaoyang could conquer the whole forest by himself.

The group entered the village of the Black Impaler. There were not many houses, around twenty houses. Tang Shaoyang was led to the biggest house located in the center of the village by Lauri. The house was made of wood and a thatched roof.

Tang Shaoyang brought Selena into the house as Ashley and Aki followed them into the house. Lauri did not dare to enter the house without his Lord's consent so he stayed by the entrance until he heard the voice calling him, "What are you doing, Lauri? Come in!"

"Yes, My Lord!" Lauri then entered after he ordered his tribesmen to prepare food for the Lord and his companions. After that, he entered the house. This was supposed to be his house but he gave it to the Lord.

Lauri saw that the Mistress was sleeping on the leaves bed and his Lord was sitting next to her. Another woman and Aki with his grandson stood next to the bed, "Do you need something from, My Lord?"

"Yes, while we wait for Selena to recover, we will discuss the next plan," Tang Shaoyang looked at Lauri and Aki, "I am not joking when I said I wanted to conquer the forest. Since you two are the native of the forest, I want to know more about the power structure of the forest. Which tribe is the strangest and how strong they are, including their location? I want to know everything,"

Aki and Lauri exchanged glances and Lauri was the first one to speak, "If you want to know about that, Aki should know more about the forest than me, My Lord. He was part of the Dark Tribe, one of the tribes with most influences within the forest,"

Aki let out an audible sigh, causing Lauri to frown and it earned a sharp glare from Ashley too, "I don't mean to be rude, My Lord. But you are not the only one who tried to conquer the whole forest. The Dark Tribe has the same ambition so do the other tribes-"

Aki's words were cut off short by Tang Shaoyang, "That's not what I want to know, Aki!"
