"This is a warning for the couple approaching the fortress! Stop your advance and take off your mask, or we will attack you!" The voice came once more, but the couple did not heed the warning.

Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie stood thirty meters away from the metal gate, "You don't have to follow me. I am alone enough to take down the fortress." He did not want Rosalie to feel guilt for killing people.

"No, I will follow you wherever you go. Don't ever try to leave me behind. I will be a ghost that will haunt you for the rest of your life," Rosalie said seriously. It would be creepy if someone else said that. But he knew that was just how Rosalie conveyed her determination to follow his path regardless of what he did.

"We will fire the arrows in five if you don't take off your mask! Take off your mask and identify yourself!" The voice rang once more, ending up with the countdown, "1… 2… 3… 4… 5…"

The moment the voice said five, Tang Shaoyang summoned Aerelion. The enormous Infernal Wyvern let out a roar, opening his wing wide. The scream could be heard from the fortress before followed by the ringing bell.

"We are under attack! We are under attack! We are under attack!" The same voice warned his comrades about the appearance of the Infernal Wyvern.

In the following seconds, the guards on the wall recovered. They snapped out of their disbelief and shot the mana cannon and ballista at Aerelion. Arrow poured down like rain from the sky. With a single flap of his wing, Aerelion neutralized the arrows. He then opened his mouth, firing the fire breath.

The black fire swallowed the mana canon's projectile and also the bolt. The fire reached the wall and destroyed one mana cannon and one ballista, charred the stone wall, and burned the guards. The scream rang in the air as six figures enveloped by the black fire, ran around in fire.

Following the initial attack, The Infernal Wyvern flew up to the sky. Everyone in the fortress focused on the enormous creature, forgetting the two people. Chaos ensued inside the fortress as even some of the guards turned their canons around in panic.

"Let's put the Skeleton Army into use," Tang Shaoyang then summoned the Skelly Family along with the Skeleton Army, "Kill the one who resisted and capture the high-rank soldiers if possible."This chapter is updated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Ten seconds after the command, Keeper took the first action by firing the dark beam toward the gate. The steel gate exploded as it stood no chance against Keeper's beam. Then Kaiser led his family into the fortress.

Tang Shaoyang could feel their excitement from the skeletons as they rushed toward them. Keeper and Skelly9 stayed behind, making a cover fire. The Gunslinger and the archer shot the guards who noticed the incoming skeletons.

Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie advanced, walking at a steady pace. Both flew onto the wall, watching the fortress in a mess. Greed had gone a long time ago, nowhere to be seen. The nocturnal creature acted more carefully at noon. Wrath decided not to join the fight, staying next to him.

"Where should we start?"

The Union's soldiers were divided into two forces. One group headed toward the other side of the fortress where Aerelion landed. Another group faced the Skelly Army. The center of the city was still mostly intact, but then a figure stood at the tallest building at the center of the fortress. The figure did not go toward the Infernal Wyvern or the Skeleton Army. The figure moved toward Tang Shaoyang, moving between the roof until arrived at the top of the wall.

The figure was a little short of two meters tall and had black armor and a spear in his hand. He did not assume the position to fight but threw a question at Tang Shaoyang, "Why do you attack us? Why are you killing your kind?"

"My kind does not mean my ally. Is there a need to ask such a question?" The man came out of nowhere, trying to make Tang Shaoyang feel guilty. But he had cast aside those feelings with a disaster that could come at him and his people anytime. It was not the moment to dilly-dally with those feelings. He was the leader of millions, and he had to be strong for his empire. A show of weakness might lead to his empire's demise.I think you should take a look at

"Primordial Rank…" Tang Shaoyang muttered, meaning the person in front of him was an important target to capture, "I want to capture him alive." He said it as if the person in front of him was a rare creature.

He had another plan aside from destroying the fortress, and he needed the person in front of him to be alive to succeed in his plan.

Tang Shaoyang's figure split into sevens, moving on their own, surrounding The Union's commander. It was Heavenly Steps - Heavenly Illusionary.

"This trick will not work on me!" The Union's commander thrust the spear toward one of Tang Shaoyang's illusions, and he aimed at the real Tang Shaoyang. He could switch positions with the illusion anytime if he wanted, but Tang Shaoyang decided not to do so. He gathered the Heavenly Energy in his right hand and caught the spear, a few centimeters away from piercing his chest.

The Union's commander was surprised that his spear was caught with a bare hand. He tried to pull the spear away, but then an enormous force fell on his body. The Gravity Field caught him off guard as he fell on his knees while losing the grip on his spear. That was a newbie mistake for losing your weapon in a battle.

Tang Shaoyang formed a sword with his Heavenly Energy. He cut the Union's commander's both hands before the person could use any bloodline transformation. Then he also cut the man's leg.

"ARRRRGHHHHHH!"

He ignored the commander in the Gravity Field, witnessing the fortress destroyed by Aerelion. He did not ask the Infernal Wyvern to stop as he needed Aerelion to deal the same damage to the demon's fortress.

After a while, Tang Shaoyang caught the commander by the neck and flew upward, raising the limbless commander above him. He floated at the center of the city, then he opened his mouth, "Surrender or I will kill your commander!"

The battle abruptly stopped for a moment as the soldiers looked toward the sky. The soldiers were shocked to see their commander's condition. Anything else, the soldiers were shocked by how easily their commander got captured.

"Make your choice! Surrender or get killed!"

The fact their commander was easily captured was proof that the enemy was far stronger than their commander. The realization aroused the soldier's fear. If the commander could not stop the enemy, who could?

It started with one soldier, throwing his shield and sword to the ground, yelling, "I surrender! Don't kill me!" The soldier was on his knees, then he put his forehead to the ground. That was a clear indication that the soldier surrendered.

Just like a domino effect, after one soldier, it became two then four soldiers. In no time, all the soldiers surrendered.

"I have been restless since the morning, so this is why," A voice traveled from Tang Shaoyang's back.
