Chapter 1665 5th Fort (1)
Chapter 1665 5th Fort (1)
It was an easy pick for Tang Shaoyang. He chose one of the trios Revenants, Rokian to hide in Arion's shadow. There was no need to pick someone who could match Arion's speed when he had one who could hide in Arion's shadow.
"That makes me comfortable, but whatever," Arion shrugged.
Arion was about to leave, but Tang Shaoyang stopped him.
"I have one question!"
The Executive Administrator turned toward Tang Shaoyang, "Make it quick!"
"Why don't you save them yourself!?" That was what puzzled Tang Shaoyang. Arion clearly could help them, but why did he ask him to save the 5th Fort? The others might have the same thought as him.
"You don't understand!?" He clicked his tongue, "It's because of you! Because you killed many Junior and Senior Administrators during your trial."
"The Executives figure out that our people are still too weak to die in the hands of a participant. We create this mission to give you credit, to make you guys stronger, gain more experience, so you guys don't die in the hands of a participant next time."
"But I figured out that you are an anomaly, not that they are too weak. Are you satisfied now?"
Without waiting for Tang Shaoyang to respond, Arion's figure disappeared.
Birom and the other Administrators looked at Tang Shaoyang in surprise. Then they lowered their heads in embarrassment.
This mission was a justification to give credit to them. Not because they needed to claim the world. It was not like the System needed a new world urgently to expand the God Realm. But one more world reserve did not hurt.
However, by saying that, Arion just admitted that Tang Shaoyang was stronger than most of them. Right before their faces.
Birom let out a sigh and said nothing. He turned around and gestured to the teams from the same fort to get their harvest.
"Do you want to join another kingdom's raid?"
Birom halted his steps and turned around in surprise. He furrowed his brow and questioned himself, 'I did not hear it wrong, right?'
"What do you mean by that, Tang Shaoyang?"
"As I said, do you want to join another kingdom's raid? If you want, I can lend one of my spirits. You can follow my spirit. He will lead you to where Executive Arion is heading to."
Birom was happy, but then he furrowed his brow. Tang Shaoyang must want something from them, or else he would not be so kind to offer such a thing. Especially after what happened just now.
"What do you want in exchange?"
"Nothing, but you must keep in mind that I can't guarantee you will arrive in time before Executive Arion."
Birom exchanged glances with the other team leaders. That was the truth that they could not match Arion's speed. But the experience and spoils from a kingdom were too tempting to refuse. Not just that, the kingdom is worth a lot of contribution points as well.
"I will pass. The 5th Fort is too far, and you might have won the fight by the time we arrived there. I don't think it's worth the time to travel there for nothing."
Birom did a quick calculation in his mind. Executive Arion would arrive first for sure. Tang Shaoyang would be there as well since he overheard Tang Shaoyang could switch places with the spirit.
Based on how long Tang Shaoyang beat the kingdom just now. They would not be able to join the fight. There was also an x-factor that they would have to fight the calamity on the way. They could not sneak their way with how many they were.
The other team leaders realized the issue and also decided to stay. No one wanted to take the risk.
Tang Shaoyang shrugged and summoned his Skeleton Army. That surprised them, looking at Tang Shaoyang in anger. They thought Tang Shaoyang wanted to kill them. Of course, he would not summon his Skeleton Army to kill them. He summoned the skeleton to gather the materials for him since Vandir neglected his duty. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Birom, Ayson, and the other team leaders looked at the knight and the mages in regret. The other team leaders might want to fight for those, but only if Birom is on their side. However, Birom made sure that he would not take what Tang Shaoyang killed. Without the Chief Administrator, they did not dare to make the move.
There were two reasons why he made such an offer for Birom. First, he wanted to do advancement, and he did not want them to see the process. Second, he wanted to take all the bodies, so he could try to summon a new spirit with the Rank 6 and Rank 7 Dryad Calamities.
His attempt failed, so he did not have any other choice but to keep the bodies in the inventory instead of using them immediately. He walked toward the giant tree. The black blood flooded the area, reaching his calf.
"Can I save it in my inventory?" The tree was so big, so he wondered if it could fit in his inventory.
Tang Shaoyang touched the flesh tree, and it disappeared. He could put the tree in the inventory. There was nothing to do but wait for Arion's call.
"What about us?" Ira and the others came to him.
They heard it as well that their captain would go to the 5th Fort.
Tang Shaoyang honestly forgot about his team. He used to move alone all the time. But the solution was easier than he thought.
He pointed at Karoen, "He can form a portal gate…" Tang Shaoyang realized that he could bring everyone with him to Karoen's portal. The Void Knight did a better job of making a portal gate than Zara.
Karoen could set up a portal here, and he could set up and connect the portal to another on the other side.
"Tell Birom that they can join the fight as well if they want."
"I will convey your message, Captain!" Renan took the initiative and ran to the outer side.
"Why do you want to help them all of a sudden? You are about to kill them all just now," Nayla was confused by her Captain's swing mood. She could not read what he wanted, at all.
