"Woah~" Jiaying's mouth opened in O-shape as she saw the landscape below her. Even though this was not the first time she was flying, but the experience of riding a plane and flying directly was totally different.
Yes, she was flying in Tang Shaoyang's embrace, clinging tightly like a koala as she was afraid of falling. Next to them were Zhang Mengyao, Li Shuang, Selena, and Arina. Four of them were sitting on top of Wen who was in his beast form.
Selena and Arina were called to draw the contract for the knights. With the binding contract, he converted them to his force. Of course, he had to put a promise for them as well. It was to bring their family to Earth from Lukan. He agreed with the condition. That was what he needed the most right now, the people. If he could get more people, he would gladly take them with him.
Of course, that plan was for the future. There were so many things that needed to take into considerations. Ambrose Family could be the biggest pawn for this plan, Crystal and Commander Ashley's family. The Earl Family still bore a grudge and secretly raised their force to topple the current Ruler.
Aside from Ambrose Family, the ex-Fotia Legion rebelled against the current royal family after finding the truth about what happened with their Queen Rosalie. There were so many pieces he could use to topple the Lionax Kingdom, but he had to be patient for that. Ending the Territory War Game was his priority now.
They were going to Hangzhou City for the last battle, against the Bombyx Mori Tribe. If not for their high magic attack, Tang Shaoyang would not participate in the battle. Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao should be enough to face this Bombyx Mori Tribe.
However, he had witnessed how strong their magic attack could be. He had to help his people, assisting them against the magic attack was the least he could do. He did not want to lose many people against something like Bombyx Mori Tribe.
Since casualties could be avoided, why not? That was the reason why he went back after the battle against the Lionax Kingdom was over.
At the same time, he sent the knights to re-capture the other four cities. After the oath, they had become part of the Empire so sending them would be faster to conquer the remaining four cities since they knew where the other four official cities were.
As for the Prince, he forced him to take an oath as well to not use his power. While he could defeat Prince Kaiden easily that was not the case for the others. The oath would assure him that Prince Kaiden would not do anything funny. Now Prince Kaiden was following the other survivors to be transferred to Hangzhou City.
From Commander Ashley and the other knights, he found out that Prince Kaiden was being doted by the Queen and his big brothers. Tang Shaoyang would use such a precious pawn for his battle against the Lionax Kingdom.

Soon Tang Shaoyang arrived at Hangzhou City. From the sky, he could see more people roamed around. During his time away from the city, it seemed more survivors joined the city as well.
"My Lord." Wei Xi and Cao Jingyi greeted him as they landed. Cao Jingyi's gaze glued on the little girl in his embrace. She made a strange gaze as she looked at the man, 'Who's this kid? Don't tell she is his daughter?'
"Hmm, Let's gather everyone. We will make our next move soon, and get the Tarriors ready for the next battle!" He gave his orders to the husband and wife.
Li Shuang was about to take Jiaying but he said it was okay. He was going to bring her to the cafeteria, letting the little girl taste Elin's cook. Cao Jingyi's gaze never left the little girl and Tang Shaoyang until she saw Li Shuang. Her gaze shifted to the mature beauty before she shook her head, 'Oh, poor Li Na. Why would you want with this womanizer?' She thought to herself.
Tang Shaoyang ignored the gaze as he went to the cafeteria building with Jiaying and Li Shuang followed him. Li Shuang did not dare wander that far from Tang Shaoyang. She did not know anyone here, so she chose to follow her man for the safety measure.
Of course, she could tell the people that she was the Lord's woman. She could use her status but she was aware that it was not the permanent solution. She would only garner more hate if she tried to act that way.
Li Shuang planned to follow him until he gave her the job. Tang Shaoyang said that she would be the Prime Minister that would take care of the Empire's infrastructure, people management, and also managed the treasury. To her knowledge, her ex-sister-in-law was number one in the military.
She realized Tang Shaoyang's intention by taking her into his harem. Her man wanted his own people to help him manage the empire. In this case, the most important position was held by her woman.
Tang Shaoyang was oblivious to the woman's thoughts. While Jiaying looked around at the crowd, he was checking the game interface. He wanted to know the progress of the Territory War Game.

Looking at the game interface, he realized something. Even if he captured the eight cities, it did not speed up the game. He still needed to wait for twenty-five days while defending the eight cities from the enemy. In other words, he had to hunt this Bombyx Mori Tribe in order to end the game.

In the meeting room, everyone gathered. The Commanders and the Captains. There, Zhang Mengyao explained what happened in the last three days and told them that the Lionax Kingdom's force had been rooted.
There were a few who protested why they did not get involved in the battle, both of them were not a human, Pride, and Kairu. Tang Shaoyang appointed Pride and Kairu as the non-human General Force. The two would be leading the non-human force for the Empire in the future.
Of course, the complaint was brushed away by Tang Shaoyang as they proceeded with the meeting. Helena, Vice Commander of the Healer Division, the Chief of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe also attended the meeting.
"So, our last battle would be against the Bombyx Mori Tribe then we end the game as the winner," Zhang Mengyao turned toward Helena, "So, you will be needing your help, Helena. I hope you can tell us the Bombyx Mori Tribe's location so we can end the game!"
She did not tell the others the information about the Dimensional Gate and the potential full war against the Lionax. She and Tang Shaoyang were agreed to keep it secret to not cause panic since the Lionax Kingdom was far stronger than them.
Helena was hesitating. While she chose to become the empire's vassal because of the unfairness from the main tribe, she was not reluctant to divulge where they were about. She knew that there were many clansmen who were innocent and just followed the order from the Main Chief and the Elder.
But she did not have the choice but to tell the main tribe's location. Or else she and her tribe would be the ones who would bear the consequence. They would be deemed not loyal to the empire and the Empire could make a random reason then her tribe would be extinguished.
"The main tribe is located further to the north of our old dwellings. I can lead the army to the location if you want me to, Supreme General Zhang." Helena bowed toward Zhang Mengyao. Sacrificed had to be made and it was not her tribe to be sacrificed. Clear guilt was apparent in her voice.
"Huh!?" Everyone had the same reaction after Helena finished her words as a notification rang in everyone's head.
