Armipotent

Chapter 127 – Orc Warrior

Tang Shaoyang carefully looked at the objective, the main, and the side objectives.

"Berserker King and fortress, huh!?" He muttered as he scanned the surroundings. The portal teleported him into an empty grass field surrounded by trees. It was similar to where he teleported in the first portal albeit this one was bigger. On top of that, they did not get separated. All his people one by one arrived at the same place.

Kang Jiayi, Kang Zian, and Mu Liqiu scanned the surroundings cautiously. Since this was their first time entering the portal, none of them dared to walk around like the others.

Mu Liqiu then realized her daughter was not around. She panicked as she looked around for her daughter. It did not take a long time before she spotted her daughter.

Kang Xue came back with plate armor and the same scythe as her. She stopped in front of her mother, "I brought you the armor and weapon!"

"Girl, do you really want your mother to kill a monster?" Mu Liqiu looked at her daughter seriously. Kang Xue nodded her head in response seriously, "Yes. Wear this first, I will explain everything later,".

Kang Xue helped her mother to wear the armor while Kang Zian looked at his sister and his mother weirdly. Even Kang Jiayi could not understand her daughter, but he did not say anything as he believed his daughter had a sufficient reason to put her mother in danger.

After Mu Liqiu wore the armor, Kang Zian came to his sister, "Where's mine? We need the armor and the weapon too!" Before Kang Xue could answer him, Tang Shaoyang came over with a set of gear too, "Since you are still young and can fight well, you will be assigned to Yan Sheng's team! He is your leader now!" He pointed at the young man who was currently organizing his people.

"There's no way! I will not let a snotty brat like him be my leader!" Kang Zian immediately refused to join the group upon seeing how young Yan Sheng was, "Give me a team, I will be the leader instead. Trust me, I have rich experiences in the field combat!" He patted his chest.

Tang Shaoyang handed the armor to his father-in-law before he turned toward his prideful brother-in-law, "I don't care if you have rich experiences or not, you have to follow my order! Unless you want to move separately, then you can go alone!" His voice was cold and deep, and his gaze was cold that sent a chill to Kang Zian's back.

He walked Kang Zian's front and placed his hand on his brother-in-law's shoulder, "I don't care what you were in the military, but here you have to listen to the strong!"

Plop!

Kang Zian kneeled under the strong push of Tang Shaoyang's hand. His eyes widened in shock, he was not expecting that he would be easily pushed down with just a hand like this.

"Listen! If you want to be the leader, you have to be strong first! We don't accept the weak here! And I will not give you special treatment just because you are Kang Xue's brother!" After saying that, he pulled his hand off Kang Zian's shoulder.

He was establishing an order to Kang Zian, he did not want a person to bring a disaster to the team just because he had "some experiences".

"Go join the team and get your equipment! Your wife and your parents will be joining my team, they will be fine under my protection!"

Kang Zian took a deep breath, he then stood up. It was a lie if he did not feel humiliated, but he had nothing to refute Tang Shaoyang. It was law of the jungle, he understood that well since the military was no different. Without looking at Tang Shaoyang, he walked toward Yan Sheng's direction.

Zhang Mengyao who was standing next to Kang Zian's wife calmed her down, "It's okay. Tang Shaoyang will not do anything or injure him. He will be fine too, Yan Sheng is quite strong despite his age,"

After everyone arrived, Tang Shaoyang called the team leaders to discuss the plan to tackle the second portal. It did not take for them to make a decision.

"We will split just like we usually do to scout this Urgunda Lowland. This place will be our rendezvous point! If you find a place that could be used to be a temporary camp you can go back here immediately. If you find the fortress then you should come back and regroup, we will attack the fortress! If you don't find anything in three hours, you should come back here too, understand!"

Zhang Mengyao repeated the important points they just discussed. The other four captains nodded their heads, "Yes!"

"Good, let's move out!" Tang Shaoyang stood up and walked back to Zhang Mengyao's team. There were three additional people in the team, so now they had twelve people in total.

"Li Na, you stay near them!" He ordered Li Na to stay near the old couple and Kang Zian's wife. It could be said Li Na was the strongest after him in the group. Moon combined with her would be a good pair to protect the three from the danger.

Li Na nodded and replied loudly, "Yes, Boss!" 

"I will stay with them too! Don't do anything silly, promise?" Zhang Mengyao reminded him to not do anything silly like testing his body with the thunder.

"Okay, okay," he promised to the girl.

Tang Shaoyang's team chose to go to the north. After Mu Liqiu, Kang Jiayi, and Huo Hongmei got used to the armor, they headed to the north.

After five minutes of walking, they came out of the forest area. What greeted them was a vast land stretched out in front of them. What surprised them was the three suns in the sky, three suns of different sizes.

"This world has three suns but Earth is still hotter than this place," Tang Shaoyang commented at the sight of the three suns in the sky.

Kang Jiayi kept looking at the sun. For some reason, the sunray did not hurt his eyes, and just as Tang Shaoyang said, the sun was warm to the skin.

Zhang Mengyao approached Tang Shaoyang, "Should we change the route? An open field area is not good for our team," she was concerned with the old couple. If they encountered groups of monsters, it would be hard to protect the three. If they were inside the forest area, they could use the terrain to protect them.

"No! An open field like this is much better! I will attract the monsters, you and Li Na should stay near them," Tang Shaoyang shook his head in disagreement. He liked more an open field like this since he could the battle-ax without worrying about the terrain.

The group continued to walk for half an hour, only then they stopped. During this half an hour they encountered nothing until now. They stopped behind a big boulder, hiding behind it. Tang Shaoyang did not stop to take a break but because they found a barricade and five watch towers behind the barricade made of wood.

The barricade stretched out wide on the open field, blocked them to go further. Tang Shaoyang peeked out, and he found three humanoid creatures standing on guard in the watchtower. The distance from the boulder to the barricade was around three hundred meters, these creatures seemed to haven't found them yet.

"I will attack the watchtower from the right side!" He pointed to the right side that had three watchtowers placed closer at each other, "You guys will attack from the left! Move only after they are alerted by me, understand?"

He was going to attract all the creatures to him while the team snuck in secretly.

"Let me help you," Li Na volunteered to give a hand but rejected by Tang Shaoyang, "No, you stay with the team, you have to protect them,"

The girl dejected inside but she did not show it outside. Her expression remained serious as she nodded her head.

After he told them his plan, Tang Shaoyang rushed out of the boulder. He rushed to the right side just as he told them.

Kang Jiayi stood behind the boulder, his eyes followed the man's movement. He was shocked by how fast Tang Shaoyang was. He then looked at the scythe in his hand, 'I should try to kill the monster too,' the old man did not like being treated as baggage and started to make his own plan secretly.

Tang Shaoyang was oblivious to the old man's thoughts. His eyes looked at the creature in the watchtower.

Two hundred meters away from the watchtower, he heard the ring of a bell being from the watchtower.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The creature in the watchtower then took the bow and aimed the arrow toward him. He had successfully attracted the creature's attention.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The three monsters in the watchtower released their arrows. Tang Shaoyang did not bother with the arrow as he picked his pace instead of slowing down. None of the arrows could come closer to him since he ran too fast while the creature was not skilled enough to hit him.

Soon, the three hundred meters were shortened to thirty meters. At this distance, he could see the monster's appearance. The monster had a pig head and fat body.

He furrowed his brows as he wondered, 'What kind creature is this?' They kept shooting at him, but he dodged all the arrows. The barricade was only a meter tall with the pointy log directed in his direction.

The barricade was not an obstacle to him. With a strong push from his feet, he leaped out and entered the barricade. He reached below the watchtower, at this moment, he took out his Destroyer.

With a big swing, he smashed the lower part of the tower. The big swing was enough to break the lower part of the watchtower. The watchtower then fell in his direction, Tang Shaoyang moved to the side to avoid the falling watchtower.

The creature in the watchtower jumped off and landed not far away from him.
