Armipotent

The Soldier could not finish the words even if he wanted to when his neck was being choked like that. It was hard for him to breathe, let alone speak. His face turned red from the lack of air. The other soldiers drew their swords, but before they could do anything, there was a force that pushed them down. The other four soldiers fell to the ground as if there was something that pushed them down.

The metal armor started to make crunching noise, a sign there was an invisible force crushing the soldiers. The stone platform cracked as the force pushed the soldier down. The ground started to shake from the force.

“He-help….” One of the soldiers managed to call out. The soldier realized that they might die if this continued.

Captain Borun snapped out from his shock, turning around and trying to save his soldiers. However, before he could reach his soldier, he sensed the heavy force on his body, pushing him down to his knees. His knees broke apart the platform as his pauldrons started to get crunched.

From the entrance of the training, Manager Fier ran quickly. His face paled at the situation, noticing that Captain Borun and the five soldiers were paralyzed on the ground. Even Captain Borun was helpless against the player.

“Please stop, Sir Tang. They are soldiers with no manners. I hope for your understanding and forgive them if they insulted you and your friends,” Manager Fier raised his voice from afar, trying to resolve the situation before it turned bloody.

Even though he was not clear about what actually happened, Manager Fier could picture what happened here. It must be the soldiers who provoked the players first. If the players wanted to start a war or take over Tarkon City. They did not need to wait until now. They should have done it from the start when The Union was not aware of their appearance.

Tang Shaoyang raised his left hand, signaling Rosalie to stop his Gravity Force.

“Tch, at least let me crush the person who talks filthy about me,” Rosalie pulled off her Gravity Force, stopping the destruction of the stone platform.

Captain Borun breathed heavily as he was relieved from the crushing force. Sweat covered his face and soaked his back. He thought he was going to die for sure. Not because of the Gravity Force, but because of something. He could easily escape from the Gravity Force, he sensed something chilling on his neck. His instinct told him that if he escaped from the Gravity Force, he would die. That was why he chose to endure the Gravity Force.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang put down the soldier in his hand to the knee, lifting the soldier’s head up before pulling the tongue out. He formed a blade with his Heavenly Energy and cut the tongue.

ARGGGHHHH!!!

The soldier let out a gurgling scream as his mouth filled with blood. With a strike to the neck, the soldier passed out, “That’s the price for insulting my wife.” He then turned around to kneel to Captain Borun, lifting Captain’s chin with his finger, “I don’t want to do this, so I am asking for your cooperation. You do your task as the soldier, and I will do what I need to do as a player, climbing up the tower. Then we will part ways later and never meet again, okay? I don’t want to kill any of you, so please control your subordinate properly, okay?”

Captain Borun nodded his head furiously in response.I think you should take a look at

Manager Fier called his subordinates who followed him, gesturing to them to lead the players to their temporary lodging, “Please follow my people to your temporary lodging, Sir. We will inform you when it is time to depart to the frontline.” He forced a smile and also forced to be more respectful because the player had shown what they were capable of.

Manager Fier was relieved that Tang Shaoyang did not pursue the matter anymore. They listened to him, following his subordinates. After Tang Shaoyang left, Manager Fier turned toward Captain Borun, “Can’t you do your job properly, Captain Borun? You can’t even manage your soldiers well.”

“Whether these players are stronger than you or not, you can’t openly insult them in front of their faces like that! What if their faction comes for our city? Can you take responsibility for that?” Manager Fier was angry, and he made sure that Captain Borun was aware of that.

“This is why I hate to work with a bunch of uneducated and ignorant people like you guys. Don’t even know the general information about players yet try to act haughty just because you fight in the frontline,” Manager Fier really vented out his anger at Captain Borun. Then he let out a sigh at the end, “Fortunately, Sir Tang is not unreasonable to demand your head or something. Let this be a lesson for you, Captain Borun. Don’t provoke the players unless they crossed the line. If that’s the case, the Union will stand behind you.”

After saying his pieces, Manager Fier left the training ground with a dropped shoulder. Clearly, this would make Tarkon City’s relationship with Tang Shaoyang or the faction behind Tang Shaoyang sour.

Tang Shaoyang was not that mad. That was why they did not kill them, but he also made sure that no one would insult him or his women. That was one of the many reasons for his pursuit of power, so no one could look down on him and insult his lovers again. Not that he encountered that many times, but he would not allow that to happen in front of him.

Thanks to his antics, the Union provided him a luxurious room and the best service. The room and the food were free until they departed for the frontline which was in three days. Captain Borun was halfway to recruiting more people to join the frontline. Level and Class were not the only thing they factor in recruitment, but also their experience in fighting. That was why the soldiers were testing the new recruit in the training ground.

During those three days, Manager Fier gave them a full service, including information about the frontline. Even though Tarkon City was bordered by Demon and Beast Kingdom’s territory, the city was quite safe because the city and the border were separated by many fortresses where the battle took place.

There were around twenty-two fortresses, twelve fortresses toward the Demo Territory and ten fortresses toward the Beast Kingdom’s territory. The fortress was a strategic location where the force that held the fortress would hold an advantage in the war.

In those three days, Tang Shaoyang strolled around the city, enjoying his little break with Rosalie while gathering some information regarding the city. It seemed the city was fully focused on the Alchemist product and Smithy Product. Understandable since the city was next to the border where the war constantly occurred. Blacksmith to maintain the equipment or make the new equipment, and healing potion was a crucial product that might win the war.

Three days quickly passed, and the day for them to depart arrived. They gathered in the training ground, and they would march together to the frontline. The trip was around a week in march with two break times a day. That was too slow for Tang Shaoyang, but he could not just fly either to his destination. That would be an arduous and boring journey.
