Foreign yet familiar at the same time. Tang Shaoyang must have heard the name before, but he forgot. He felt like he knew the guy with this name, but he just could not remember the face.

"I will know once I meet him," He shrugged while looking toward the direction of Waskin City. The thought of leaving by himself was there, but he decided to wait for the wormers.

Carlos Artura received the report that someone crashed into The Adventurer Guild in Okoa City. That was right, he did not hear it wrong. One person crashed into the building from the sky. It was as if that person was in a hurry to clash with The Adventurer Guild.

"It seems we made him mad for targeting his family," Carlos Artura remarked.

"At least, we know his weakness if we can't win against him," The Tenth Cardinal commented at the remark, "We can just look for his family for an emergency case. Prepare a small elite team to sneak into Akkon City and capture his family."

The Tenth Cardinal and The Eleventh Cardinal had arrived not long ago and were having a conversation with Carlos Artura, The Ninth Cardinal. The number did not determine their strength, but the order they became Cardinal it was different for the first to third Cardinal. The top three Cardinals were decided by strength.

"Did you hear Sir Vazha's idea, Amon? Please arrange a team to look for that person's family. Just for an emergency case," Carlos Artura did not bother to argue with the Tenth Cardinal. In his mind, there was no way they would lose to one person and the former adventurers who were weaker than them. Not when the five Apostles of the Harmony Temple were also here.

"We lose? How can you think we will lose to one person, Vazha? I don't know why you are such a negative thinker to think that we will lose to one person. You really don't deserve to be a Cardinal." The Eleventh Cardinal chimed in a mocked tone. The way he spoke to the Tenth Cardinal showed that they did not have a good relationship.

Vazha merely glanced at the Eleventh Cardinal and then straight ignored the Eleventh Cardinal. The atmosphere between the two was quite tense.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang departed from Okoa City.An hour after Ladirma and friends arrived at Okoa City, they departed for Waskin City. They were entering The Orin Forest, and Tang Shaoyang did not remember that much about the forest because he did not really have time to explore the forest fully.

However, it was different for the four beastmen from the four Major Tribes of the Orin Kingdom. Their emotions were shown when they entered the forest. This was the first time they stepped into their home after seven years. The feeling of returning to their home fired up Maru as he was more determined to join the fight to regain his home.

That was right, the four beastmen decided to join Tang Shaoyang to fight the Adventurer Guild and The Harmony Temple in Waskin City. The reason they joined the fight was also because of Maru. The three could not leave Maru alone, so they joined the battle for their friend, not for their kingdom.

A few minutes into the forest, an adventurer returned to Tang Shaoyang and reported, "The city is heavily guarded, and it seems they are expecting us to come at them, Master." He was the scout that Tang Shaoyang sent ahead to look at the situation in Waskin City.

Tang Shaoyang felt like luring the Adventurer Guild and The Harmony Temple might be better for his people. It was certainly riskier to fight in the city with a proper defense than luring them out to fight in the forest. The ideal situation would be luring them out of the city and fighting them in the forest.

He stopped the march and called out Ladirma for a briefing, "So which do you prefer? Fighting in the city or we fight them in the forest?"

Ladirma, Armano, Kali, and the other Demi-God Rank Adventurers exchanged glances. It was unexpected for their Master to ask them. They were expecting an order, and they would follow that order. They were slaves, after all.

"I think it's better to lure them out into the forest if it's possible," Tisha braced herself and voiced her opinion even though Tang Shaoyang was not asking her. That was for the best for her and her friend, increasing their chance of survival in this absurd battle.

"Does not really matter to me. I will follow your order, Sir!" Maru replied excitedly. He did not really care about the plan. What mattered to him was that he would smash those people who had driven him and his family away from their homes. Ron and Kaltum supported Tisha's idea of fighting in the forest.

The fact that the four beastmen responded to Tang Shaoyang boldly like that, it encouraged the former adventurers to voice out their opinion. Their idea was in sync with Tisha.

"We don't really know how to fight in a siege battle. I think it's better for us to fight in the forest because that will increase our survival chances. We also have a terrain advantage and can set up some traps as well. Ladirma represented his fellow wormers to speak, but he also pointed out the problem, "But how are we going to lure them out? I don't think they will throw their advantage to fight us in the forest."

He could not think of how to lure the Adventurer Guild and The Harmony Temple to come out of the city. It was clear that they had the advantage, and there was no reason for them to come out to fight them in the forest.

"You don't need to worry about that. I will take care of it. Choose the area where you want to fight and make the preparations. I will give one or two hours to decide where you want to fight them."

Carlos Artura arrived at the city wall along with The Tenth and Eleventh Cardinal after they heard the enemy was entering The Orin Forest. That meant it would be just a matter of time before they arrived in the city.

Carlos Artura did not expect them to come to Waskin City, to be honest. He thought their enemy would wait in Okoa City for them. But it seemed their plan to kidnap his family enraged their enemy to attack the Waskin City's fortified defense.

"Foolish and reckless!" That was The Tenth Cardinal's remark when they heard a force entering the Orin Forest.

As they arrived at the top of the city wall, they looked at the side where a group of five people surrounded by knights. The five people were wearing robes with The Harmony Temple's emblem on their cloaks. The Apostles were also here, ahead of them
