This is Arzlan and Alisha's fourth day in Lizardman territory, everyone there is changing fast. They welcomed those two people very well, actually Arzlan was there on purpose, and he was sure the royal side would take action.
Arzlan was standing tall beside the palace guardrail, his eyes always fixed to the front.
"Master Arzlan!" Alisha called out to that man, but she didn't receive any reply.
Arzlan then said, "Now it's time for us to move again!"
Alisha looked at Arzlan in surprise.
After that, Arzlan went straight to Shamura. He came with eyes filled with piercing gaze, anyone who saw Arzlan's face would surely be afraid. It was a gaze while looking at the enemy.
"Master Arzlan what's wrong?" asked Shamura. In his heart being so wary, he wouldn't know what Arzlan would do.
"Shamura, I have something to say! I'm going back to Noctem! I want to tell them a few things!"
"Master, why do you look so rushed?" Shamura didn't usually see Arzlan's pupils become so tense.
"No, I just want my business to be finished quickly! I'm leaving right now!"
As Arzlan turned his body, Shamura said, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Arzlan replied with his head slightly turned.
"I want Master Arzlan to take Algard and some residents from this kingdom, I want what has been said not just words! I want this relationship to be the beginning of a revolution!"
Arzlan sighed. "Alright, I will take them!"
Two hours have passed, Arzlan and Alisha are waiting in front of the village gate. From a distance, they had seen several people approaching.
It was Algard with 7 lizardmen, four girls, and three boys plus Algard totaling four.
Three of those eight creatures were soldiers who trusted to join, the rest were lizardman who really wanted to gain a lot of experience.
They looked at by Arzlan with a serious look. "I hope that on this journey you can take care of yourself, don't rely on me! This journey will be quite long and full of obstacles, you understand!"
Everyone nodded.
One of them took a step forward, she right away kneeled in front Arzlan.
"Uh? What's the matter?"
"Sorry, I don't mean to be presumptuous, I really want to thank you for saving the lizardman territory, I am Elsyea, daughter of Shamura the current leader of lizardman!"
To everyone's surprise, Arzlan saw that all of this would be quite a troublesome responsibility. Bringing in a high-ranking family member was not a good plan.
"Princess! Why are you coming with us?" asked Algard.
"Algard, I have witnessed how father views Master Arzlan, I must admit he is the one who can move the hearts of all lizardman! I must be able to learn a lot, if I really want freedom of life!"
"You're exaggerating, I'm only here to do what Shamura wants! But, I don't mean to take care of your life! Remember the path I'm going is full of dangers and many enemies, you guys still want to come along?" Arzlan used an intimidating tone that wanted to lower their spirits.
"I was prepared for that, from the very beginning the first time this agreement was made it proved that we lizardmen will be loyal and obey what you say!" Elsyea replied firmly.
Arzlan sensed the seriousness of those eight lizardman, their eyes flashing firm conviction.
"Alright, then let's start this journey!"
"Okay!" answered them in unison.

"Hehehe... apparently Zuru isn't as strong as I imagined!" Amiru continued to smile, the news of Zuru's defeat really tickled his heart. "Maybe he should learn a lot from me!"
"Of course!" replied Naiza.
Amiru gave a pleasing look.
"Hero Amiru is the most powerful person among other heroes, they won't be able to surpass you forever!"
Amiru smiled broadly, the spirit in her heart as if it was making him want to fly into the sky.
Naiza replied with a sweet smile, but behind her happy gaze was rottenness that Amiru couldn't feel.
Haru leaned his body on the chair, his face looked so bright. "Heh… this seems to be getting more interesting, I can't wait to see what happens!"
Inside the castle, Lactaruz has been called to face.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty Demon King Nova!"
"Lactaruz, I want you to go somewhere! I want you to terrorize all of them with this power!"
The fiery red orb floated closer to Lactaruz, slowly his body began to be possessed. All of his internal organs were burning, but that was only for a moment. It was clear the flow of energy in the body was so great.
Lactaruz's eyes widen, he can actually feel that his body is already much stronger than before
"Okay! I will soon as possible do as you command!" Lactaruz then left Nova's presence.
"Hehehe… good, now it's all just a matter of time!"
***
The journey they took was quite a time consuming, from the southeast to the west. They must be able to avoid all obstacles, especially the royal troops.
A strange sound had just sounded, they all instantly felt alert. In the middle of the desolate forest a suspicious activity has emerged, turning their backs to take care of each other.
"What was that just now?" asked Alisha.
"I don't know, but it seems to be coming from an untouchable figure!" replied Elsyea.
Krsk!!!
It was heard again, from within the bushes someone's body was seen walking towards them.
"There he is!" Algard muttered.
Arzlan waited for what would happen.
"Hiyaa!"
Algard quickly ran towards that figure, his face filled with rage that was so high.
Things!
Their two weapons clashed, and the energy began to create an electric spark then ended by a small explosion. Algard bounced a few meters away.
"Oi…!"
Arzlan and Alisha had heard that voice before.
Algard tried to return to the attack, feeling insulted that he was thrown like that. Even though he understood that the opponent he was fighting was very formidable.
Arzlan spread out his left hand, Algard and the lizardman became surprised by that. It's totally incomprehensible why Arzlan did it.
"What made you come here?" asked Arzlan.
"Hehehe… I thought you would recognize me!" That figure revealed itself, a large body with burly muscles carved with several sharp marks.
The impression he gave was so great that those who saw him would perceive him as an opponent to be eliminated.
But, Arzlan and Alisha understand who he really is.
