311 Do You Regret Your Decision Now?
As Layla was beating up the Winged Tiger, Ace approached them slowly.
"Strong human, please stop her. Tell her to stop beating me up." The Winged Tiger begged Ace to stop Layla from beating him up because he thought Ace was Layla's boyfriend.
But before Ace could say something, Layla stopped beating the Winged Tiger and hugged Ace's right arm. "Ace, how about we eat tiger meal for lunch?" Layla was still angry at the Winged Tiger, so she tried to scare him. The Winged Tiger was panicked after hearing her words. 'What?! She wants to eat me?'
If Ace were not with Layla, he would have fought her to death.
"Human, do you really have the heart to eat a cute little tiger like me?" like before, the Winged Tiger tried to act cute.
"Yes." Layla responded, "I like eating cute little tigers because it's more delicious."
"Pfft!" a suppressed peal of laughter burst out.
Ace almost could not suppress his laughter when he saw the Winged Tiger's expression.
'This is my first time seeing a 3-star magical beast behave like this.'
Normally, 3-star magical beasts always acted high and mighty, especially Tigers, Lions, and Dragons.
However, the powerful Winged Tiger in front of him acted the opposite. Instead of acting high and mighty, he behaved cutely, as if he was not a tiger but a cute cat.
Of course, the Winged Tiger behaved like that because he was much weaker than Ace.
If he were stronger than Ace or as strong as Ace, he would not act like that because Tiger was a proud animal.
"Layla, don't you feel tired?" Ace spoke abruptly.
"Tired? I don't feel tired at all." Layla still did not understand the meaning of his words.
"No. I know you are tired." He uttered. "We have been walking for three days straight. I'm sure your legs are tired."
"Yes. My legs are tired." Actually, she still did not understand his actions.
She said this because she believed it was what Ace wanted to hear.
After hearing her words, Ace shifted his gaze from Layla to the Winged Tiger. "Winged Tiger, our legs are tired, so can you send us to the capital of the Ocaven Kingdom?"
"Send you to the capital of the Ocaven Kingdom?" the Winged Tiger said in surprise.
"Yes." Ace responded, "We will let you go if you agree to help us."
At this moment, the Winged Tiger understood the meaning of Ace's words. "You want to make me a riding beast?"
"You are a powerful magical beast, while we are weak humans, so you should help us." Ace pretended as if he was weaker than the Winged Tiger.
The Winged Tiger was at a loss for words.
'Human, what do you mean by that? You are already at 5-star, while I'm only at 3-star. I should be the one saying it, not you.'
He did not expect that Ace wanted to make him their riding beast.
"You agree, right?" Ace's face looked scary when he said this.
"Hehe." Layla giggled when she saw the Winged Tiger's expression.
"...Alright. I will send you to the capital of Ocaven Kingdom." Actually, the Winged Tiger did not want to be a riding beast because he was a proud beast.
However, he could lose his life if he refused, so he had no other choice but to agree to Ace's request.
"Good!" Ace's terrifying face instantly turned into a smile.
"Hehe." Layla was still giggling because it was funny.
After Ace sat on the Winged Tiger, he uttered, "Layla, come here."
She wasted no time and immediately jumped to the Winged Tiger. She sat in front of Ace because, with this, they could lovey-dovey later.
"Alright, Winged Tiger. Let's go to the capital of Ocaven Kingdom now." Ace said as he pointed his right index finger forward.
Layla giggled again after the Winged Tiger started walking.
'This is my first time riding a magical beast.'
She did not expect that she would experience riding a magical beast because usually, it was almost impossible to do that.
'Ace is indeed an amazing person.'
She praised Ace in her head.
The Winged Tiger let out a deep sigh as he walked.
'I'm from the mighty white tiger race, but here, I become a riding beast for a human. This world is so cruel to me.'

Luvrela Region, Nightshire City. *Cling...Clang...Cling...Clang...
The sound of weapons clashing reverberated in the entire battlefield.
Like what Aidan had previously guessed, his subordinates had the upper hand in the war.
Some of his subordinates were even unstoppable on the battlefield, as if the citizens of Nightshire City were weak. Actually, something like this was to be expected.
First, most of the citizens of Nightshire City were not awakeners. Second, Aidan had more awakeners on his side.
And lastly, Scarlett's subordinates used armor and weapons that were already in poor condition.
Actually, Scarlett ordered new weapons and armors for her subordinates after the war against the magical beasts.
But she only received two thousand of the eight thousand weapons and armor she ordered.
11:23
This was the reason why most of her subordinates were still wearing shoddy armor and weapons because the rest had still not been sent. "Haha." Aidan laughed happily. "Kill them! Show them the consequences of refusing to be my slaves."
"Beat them to death!"
"Show them how mighty Alselian City is."
"Haha. Kill! Kill!"
"Haha."
The spirit of Aidan's subordinates was high because everything was under their control.
They believed they would win the war because they had always had the upper hand since the beginning.
"Stop them!" n((O)-v-(e--l-.B((I)(n
"Don't let them enter our city."
"Stop them even if you have to sacrifice yourself."
"Nightshire City is my city. I won't let you take it from me."
Even though they were at a disadvantage, the citizens of Nightshire City did not give up and kept trying their best to protect their city.
Ordinary people even dared to attack awakeners as if they were already tired of living.
The fight was like this.
Aidan and Kevin Vs Scarlett.
General Xavier and Lara vs General Valeria.
Colonel Zion vs Colonel Louie.
Captain Daniel vs Captain Noah.
Captain Maya vs Captain Lia.
Lieutenant Joe vs Lieutenant Alex.
And Aidan's subordinates vs Scarlett's people.
At first, Scarlett and Valeria could fight their opponents equally, but everything changed when Captain Maya, Lieutenant Joe, and Captain Daniel fought them too.
They instantly got beaten up continuously.
Captain Lia, Lieutenant Alex, and Captain Noah were defeated by their opponents in a short time because they used dirty tricks like poisons or something along these lines.
Of course, they did not break the rules because it was a war.
In war, there were only two things: kill or to be killed.
They were allowed to do anything because there were no referees in war.
Bang!
Scarlett and Valeria were thrown several meters before finally falling to the ground next to each other.
Aidan, who approached her slowly, uttered, "City mistress, I gave you a chance to surrender earlier, but you refused instantly. Look around you! Your people are dying one by one now." Scarlett's eyes swept across the area as she took in his surroundings
'Tch!'
She gritted her teeth when she saw her people dying one by one.
When Aidan was close to Scarlett, he stopped his footsteps and asked, "City mistress, do you regret your decision now?"
