Chapter 314 FREEDOM!

314 FREEDOM!

There were three reasons why Alicia did not kill them and only told them to return to their place.

First, Scarlett and many of her people were dying.

They would die if she did not save them immediately because they were heavily injured.

Second, she did not have unlimited mana.

Using Tier-5 magic consumed a lot of mana. Aidan had over ten thousand subordinates, so she was sure she would run out of mana before she could kill them all.

And lastly, she only had five subordinates.

Even though they had the upper hand, the tables would turn if they fell to the ground or her eagle was injured.

Including him, Aidan had one awakener at the Grandmaster rank, four people at the Master rank, and over ten thousand subordinates at the Elite rank.

On her side, she only had one subordinate at the Grandmaster rank and four at the Master rank.

If they fought, the possibility of them winning the fight was only fifty percent.

That was why she tried to avoid the fight because her mission was only to save Nightshire City, not kill Aidan and his subordinates. "My lord, what should we do now?" Colonel Zion inquired.

Aidan did not answer Alicia's question immediately.

'What should we do?'

He did not want to return to his city before achieving their goal.

He had sacrificed time, power, and money to attack Nightshire City. He even had lost more than one thousand subordinates.

However, he did not know how to deal with Alicia and her subordinates because they were high in the sky.

"Damn it!" Aidan was unhappy with their situation. nove)1b)1n

At this moment, Lara spoke abruptly. "My lord, we have come this far. Rather than going home with nothing, I think we should keep fighting."

She then continued, "As long as we can get them to the ground, I'm sure we can kill them."

"I agreed, my lord." General Xavier added. "We have sacrificed many things. It's either kill or be killed."

"My lord, other cities would laugh at us if we ran away from six people." Captain Daniel also did not want to return with nothing. "Let's just focus on killing that eagle. I'm sure everything will be under our control again after that." After hearing his subordinates' words, Aidan made up his mind. "Alright. It's either conqueror Nightshire City or die."

General Xavier and the others nodded their heads.

"My subordinates, hear me out." Aidan shouted. "Attack them continuously. Kill that eagle and get them to the ground!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

One by one, they attacked Alicia and her subordinates again.

Alicia, who was standing on her eagle, uttered, "It seems like we have no other choice now. Attack them!"

And like this, they attacked each other again.

----

Ace and Layla were heading to the capital of the Ocaven Kingdom. Like before, they were riding a Winged Tiger. The Winged Tiger tried to attack them earlier, so Ace forced him to become their mount. "Hey, tiger. You have a pair of wings. Can you fly?" Layla wanted to know whether the Winged Tiger could fly or not.

"Of course, I can fly." The Winged Tiger answered proudly.

"Then fly now. I want to know what it feels like to ride a flying beast." She uttered.

"Fly?" the Winged Tiger said in surprise.

'Wait!'

At this moment, an evil idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

'If I fly high and throw them from a height of over 2,000 meters, won't they die or be seriously injured?'

He had no idea that Ace could fly too.

'Hehe.'

His lips curled up into a grin.

'Even if they survive, I'm sure they will be seriously injured. At that moment, not only can I take back my pride as a powerful beast, but I can also kill them. Hehehe.'

He was thrilled with his evil plan.

"Sure. I will take you high in the sky." The Winged Tiger agreed instantly.

"Good!" Layla did not know what he had in mind.

However, it was a different story for Ace.

He kept paying attention to the Winged Tiger since earlier, so he knew the Winged Tiger had bad intentions.

'He has bad intentions, huh?'

These were the words that suddenly appeared in his mind.

As the Winged Tiger flew with a smile on his face, Ace uttered, "Winged Tiger, I can fly like you. You know what will happen to you if you have bad intentions, right?"

The Winged Tiger was shocked by Ace's words.

'What?! He knows my bad intentions?'

He believed he did not say anything earlier. 'Damn! Damn! Damn!'

He cursed venomously in his heart.

'What should I do? Can he really fly?'

After thinking for a few seconds, the Winged Tiger threw away his evil plan.

Even though he had never seen Ace flying before, he decided to believe his words because Ace would kill him if he really could fly.

"Human, what are you talking about? It's my honor to become your mount. There is no way I have bad intentions toward you." The Winged Tiger spoke ill of Ace in his heart.

"You got it wrong, Winged Tiger." Ace responded, "I mean, it's fine if you have bad intentions toward us. It's fine if you want to kill us again because I'm suddenly curious about the taste of the White Winged Tiger."

"Human, you are such a bully!" The Winged Tiger stated. "You are already at 5-star. You should not bully me."

"Hehe." Layla could not help but giggle.

'His behavior is really different now.'

She added in her mind.

After flying for several hours, they finally reached the capital of Ocaven Kingdom. "Human, we have reached the capital of Ocaven Kingdom. My job is over now. You will let me go, right?" The Winged Tiger hoped Ace would not break his promise.

After Ace and Layla jumped down from the Winged Tiger, he uttered, "Winged Tiger, do you want to be my mount? Don't worry. I will treat you well if you agree to be my mount."

He liked the Winged Tiger because he was a tiger and he could fly too.

"Dream on, hum-"the Winged Tiger stopped his words halfway when he realized that his tone could make Ace angry. "Human, even though this is our first meeting, I know you are destined to be a great human."

He then continued, "I'm only a lowly 3-star tiger, so I don't deserve to be your mount. Maybe you should look for a Lion or Dragon because only they are worthy of being your mount."

If Ace was not stronger than him, the Winged Tiger would have killed him on the spot because he was from the tiger race.

However, he did not voice out his anger or displease because he would definitely die if he yelled at Ace.

"What a pity." Ace uttered, "Alright. You can go now."

"Thank you, human." Without waiting for another second, the Winged Tiger flew into the sky because he was afraid that Ace would change his mind. "FREEDOM! FREEDOM!"

The corner of Ace's lips twitched. "Freedom?"

"Hehe." Layla giggled. "It seems like he is happy after getting freedom from a bad guy like you, Ace."

Ace was stunned by her words.

'Layla, I should be the one to say that because you were the one who beat him up earlier.'
