Chapter 519 - The Second Tribe - Part 1

”Thereʼs no need to bring all of them. Just bring your thirty strongest tribesmen with us and let the rest stay in the village,” Tang Shaoyang chose quality over quantity. He was not going to bring a burden with him. Moreover, he planned to sneak into the battlefield. Too many would only make it harder for them to sneak into the nest.

ʼYou still remember the Kirinʼs nest, right, Jet?ʼ He asked the newly contracted spirit.

—Of course, I still remember that bastardʼs nest, how can I forget that?

Jetʼs angry voice rang in his head. When they were talking about Kirin, the Abyss Raven would always be angry.

ʼYou donʼt need to be that angry, we will have our chance to kill the Kirin,ʼ Tang Shaoyang tried to cheer the little guy.

—Can you really kill that bastard? Like I said, that dragon-headed ox is a Legend Rank back then. He might reach Demi-God rank by now. I donʼt think we can kill that thing now. You better listen to that rat.

The Abyss Raven said with a concerned voice. It was surprising the little guy was concerned about Tang Shaoyang even though both just met recently.

—For some reason, I also agree with that rat and Jet. We should take it slow.

Rosalie voiced her opinion on the matter. The enemy was far stronger than them and they did not have enough force to support them. She even doubted that Tang Shaoyang could win against the Beast Coven even with the bloodline and the second class he had. Her new Master had big potential, he just needed to be patient then everything would go his way.

ʼNope, we will depart in a few hours. You canʼt convince me to do otherwise as I am going to kill at least one of the Guardian Beasts,ʼ Tang Shaoyang replied.

Meanwhile, Aki was spending his time with his grandson, ”Nol, listen to me. You canʼt follow us into the forest, you should stay here. I have arranged everything for you, you just need to go back to our home, understand?”

”No, I will follow you, Grandpa. I donʼt care how dangerous it is, I will follow you. Moreover, Lord Tang will force me to follow him too,” Nol replied, ”Moreover, I donʼt want to be lonely again, Grandpa. I will follow you to the end even if it is to our death,ʼ the little rat beastmen was determined with his choice.

Aki let out a sigh. He realized that his grandsonʼs fate was tied with him and Lord Tang.

”I am fine by walking, thereʼs no need to carry me with this thing. Itʼs embarrassing,” Selena was sitting on the carrier. It was basically a chair, but four Black Impaler beastmen carried her on the chair.

”Embarrassing? Who are you embarrassed to? Thereʼs no one here going to ridicule you. Just stay up there,” Tang Shaoyang dismissed the girlʼs complaints with a wave of his hand.

Aki was leading them toward the Rodentar Tribe, the closest tribe to the Pallarmus Tribe, and the Rodentar Tribe was right on the path toward the Beast Coven. This tribe would be their first stop as they headed toward the Beast Coven.

Less than an hour of journey, they reached the Rodentar Tribeʼs territory. From Aki and Lauri, the Rodentar Tribe was about as strong as the Pallarmus Tribe and the tribe was neutral. It was not part of the four big tribes. When they entered the territory, they encountered a group of five Rodentars. The Rodentar was not in their beast form, meaning they had not evolved into beastmen.

”Are they part of your family? Are you related in any way with the Rodentar?” Tang Shaoyang found similarities between the Rodentar and the Dark Tremor, but this Rodentar was bigger than the Dark Tremor, having deep-brown fur rather than black that differentiate between the two species.

On top of that, the Rodentar had longer limbs. The Rodentarʼs belly did not touch the ground as they walked, different than the Dark Tremor that precisely looked like a rat. The same with the Black Impaler and the Dark Tremor, most of them were a beast without intelligence. They live by instinct, but of course, they gained intelligence when they evolved into beastmen.

The five Rodentars in front of them had not evolved yet, but Tang Shaoyang had Aki on his side. The Mind Control easily avoided the conflict and they continued toward the core area of the Rodentar Tribe. Just like the Pallarmus Tribe, they made a small village in the center of their territory.

When the group arrived in front of the entrance, they were greeted by many Rodentar beastmen. Sixty-seven Rodentar beastmen were standing at the entrance to the village. Aside from gaining a humanoid body, Rodentar beastmen grew a small horn on their head.

Tang Shaoyang who was followed by Aki, Lauri, and Ashley stepped forward and met with the strongest Rodentar Beastmen. The Rodentar Beastmen who was also the Chief of the Rodentar Tribe was surprised to see Lauri and Aki with the two humans.

”Whatʼs the meaning of this, Aki? Lauri? Are you going to declare war against the Rodentar Tribe?” The Chief of the Rodentar Tribe recognized Aki and Lauri as he ignored Tang Shaoyang and Ashley.

”I am here to give the Rodentar Tribe a chance and also an offer,” Tang Shaoyang was the one who replied to the Chief of the Rodentar Tribe.

Only then the Chief of the Rodentar Tribe looked toward Tang Shaoyang, ”What do you mean by a chance and an offer, Human!?” The Chief returned the question cautiously. No matter how he looked at them, they clearly came to do something bad to his tribe. The Chief could tell that by their formation. The elite of the Pallarmus Tribe and also Aki, the famous Mind Control from the outer region.

”A chance for your tribe to survive and also an offer to bring your tribe to a new height,” Tang Shaoyang replied while maintaining his expressionless face and toneless tone, ”Join The Tang Empire or doom is the only end for you and your tribe!”
