<h4>Chapter 512 - Aki''s Attempt</h4>


    After Aki left the house, Tang Shaoyang looked toward Lauri, "Do you know the closest tribe to your Parmus Tribe?" From his question, it was clear that Tang Shaoyang was going to decide their next destination.


    Lauri was quick with the answer, "The Dark More Tribe, they are the closest tribe to our tribes, but wait…" The Chief of the Parmus Tribe made a strange expression, "You haven''t visited the Dark More Tribe, My Lord?"


    "What do you mean?" Tang Shaoyang was quite confused with how Lauri asked him. It was as if he was supposed to visit the Dark More Tribe first instead of the Pamus Tribe.


    "Before you reach The Parmus Tribe''s territory, you should pass the Dark More Tribe''s territory first. Did Aki not tell you this?" Chief Lauri asked but as if he realized something, "Or do you want to avoid the confrontation against the Dark Tribe so you did not attack the Dark More Tribe?"


    "Again, he made an unnecessary decision behind me again. I should teach him something before he crosses the line," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a cold voice, causing Nol to flinch. He wanted to say something but when he saw Tang Shaoyang''s darkened face, the small rat beastmen decided to stay silent. A wise decision from him.


    "No, I never avoided the confrontation against the Dark Tribe," Tang Shaoyang replied with a cold voice, "Tell me more about this Dark More Tribe."


    Tang Shaoyang and Ashley listened to Chief Lauri''s exnation about the Dark More Tribe. From his description, he could guess what the Dark More was. They were a Mole, the mole that lived in the tunnel underground. They were quite famous on Earth, the enemies of the farmer, and also made into a game, whack-a-mole.


    Now he encountered the mole not as the enemies of the farmer or a game, but as an enemy. He was going to meet them in their beastmen form.


    "They have around a hundred and fifty that have transformed into beastmen and their beast army is around a thousand and five hundred beasts. They have a lot of armies but they are weak overall. They stood no chance against us and we have no reason to attack them too, so we are ignoring each other. However, if you want to visit them, they are in the southeast of our location. We can reach their ce quickly if you want to visit their tribe, My Lord." Lauri offered.


    Tang Shaoyang nced at Selena who was sleeping. He was not going to go to visit another tribe without Selena. Then he looked back at Lauri, "How strong are they? I mean their level on average?"


    "They are quite low, around level 200 to 300 with a few of them reaching level 500, and the Chief of the Dark More Tribe is level 612. I can bring my people to conquer them if you want to, My Lord." Lauri offered. There was no need to wait for Selena since the tribe was much weaker than the Parmus Tribe.


    "What do you think about them? Will they listen to me? Do you know the Chief of the Dark More Tribe?" Tang Shaoyang asked for more information. His purpose was to unite the forest, not a ughter. However, if they refused his offer then he would ughter them for the sacrifice to build the undying, spirit army.


    "I think they will refuse you, My Lord. The Dark More Tribe recently joined the Dark Tribe. Aki was the one who persuaded them to join the Dark Tribe. He came to me as well before as he offered the Parmus Tribe to join the Dark Tribe," Lauri exined, "The Dark More Tribe must agree to something simr with the oath so they can''t betray the Dark Tribe."


    "Also, we have to watch out for the Dark Tribe''s movement, My Lord. They are actively recruiting the tribes in the outer region, they must be up to something," Lauri added his opinion.


    "I see, then let''s visit the Dark More Tribe," Tang Shaoyang would just destroy the Dark More Tribe and let the Dark Tribee to him. That way, he did not need to look for them as they woulde for him. He would save his time to look for them.

    "Damn! This oath is not the same as the System Contract!" Aki cursed out and stomped the ground. His palm formed into a fist and punched the giant tree. Of course, his fist was not strong enough to shake the giant tree.


    Yes, Aki was analyzing the oath. His ss allowed him to see the oath that bound him to Tang Shaoyang. However, the oath was not the same as the system contract. If it was a system contract, Aki had a way to cancel but not this oath thing, "Will the oath get canceled if I kill that woman?"


    The rat beastmen was contemting his chance, but then he shook his head. The oath bound him with Tang Shaoyang, not the woman. Even if he killed the woman, the oath was still there. Aki let out a sigh, "It seems my fate is linked with that lunatic. Unifying the forest? Does he think he can do that, alone?"


    As someone who had stayed in the forest since he was born, Aki was aware that the forest was much scarier than it looked. Years after years passed yet the forest remained unconquered as The Elven remained elusive with their whereabouts, and the Moon Tribe that never tried to expand their territories despite the army they had.


    "It seems I have no choice but to follow and assist that man wholeheartedly. Maybe that man could do the impossible," The rat beastmen cheered himself with false hope. It was false since he knew that no one could unify the forest. It was just a pipe dream.


    "I have gone too long, I have to return now," Aki then realized that he had gone too long, a few hours since he left the Parmus Tribe. He was concerned with his grandson so he quickly returned to the Parmus Tribe. Of course, he did not forget the task. He hadmanded the Dark Tremor to look for the dwarves.


    When he returned to the Parmus Tribe, Aki could not find his Master, "Where''s The Lord, Nol?"
