Chapter 1618 Dungeon 5
The United Sovereign’s Portal Gate
Different from The Tang Empire portal gates were only guarded by four guards and two workers. The United Sovereign put a hundred people on shift to guard the portal gate. They were afraid that The Tang Empire would use the portal gate to attack them. That was why it was guarded tightly and isolated from the other portal gates.
This morning, the guard was especially tighter than usual. Three hundred people cramped in the isolated area as they received an order from the higher-ups that guests from The Tang Empire would arrive this morning.
“Are you sure about this, Jake? They are from The Tang Empire. I think it’s unnecessary,” Tommy, a Captain of a hundred men in The United Sovereign, voiced his concern to his fellow Captain.
“First, this is an order from Chief Mason. Second, I don’t think you should be afraid of The Tang Empire anymore, Tommy. We are now standing equal with the Tang Empire! There’s nothing to be afraid of, and we must examine them thoroughly before they could enter our territory!” Jake shook his head, disappointed in how Tommy acted cowardly just in the name of the Tang Empire.
Meanwhile, Tommy almost rolled his eyes at Jake. Unlike Jake, Tommy was part of the First Order Guild. He had seen Tang Shaoyang in the Earth Tournament. He also witnessed when they surrendered to the Tang Empire in the war. Meanwhile, Jake knew so little about the Tang Empire because Jake was not part of the First Order Guild. Jake came from a different faction which later united under The United Sovereign.
‘Then why are we asking for assistance from them if we are equal?’
Tommy wanted to persuade Jake not to listen to Chief Mason. This Chief Mason was also not part of the First Order Guild. They knew little to nothing about The Tang Empire. However, he did not have the time for that as the portal was activated and the guests arrived.
Tommy’s eyes widened in shock when he saw who came for the reinforcement. The Emperor himself and The Supreme General. Meanwhile, Jake had a different reaction than Tommy. His eyes shone as his eyes fell on Viona and Zhang Mengyao. He got even more excited to carry out his duty.
While Tommy was frozen, Jake acted quickly out of excitement, “Halt! State your name and business!”
Tang Shaoyang was surprised that this man did not recognize Zhang Mengyao. He could understand if this man did not recognize him, but he should recognize Zhang Mengyao.
“We are reinforcement for the Demi-God Dungeon. Shouldn’t you be informed of our arrival?” Zhang Mengyao responded.
“We are notified about your arrival, but there’s a procedure before you can enter The United Sovereign’s territory. First, you need to show your window status to confirm your identity. Then we need to do—”
Before Jake could finish his words, Tommy caught up. He covered Tommy’s mouth. Then he forcefully pushed Jake’s body to bow toward Tang Shaoyang.
“Welcome to The United Sovereign, Your Majesty Tang Shaoyang!” After greeting, Tommy whispered to Jake, “You better keep your mouth shut if you love your life, Jake!”
Tang Shaoyang was surprised by the greeting, not expecting someone would recognize him. But then he heard the whisper and nodded. Even though the first man did not finish his words, he could guess the remaining words. He would not kill this Jake guy, but he would teach Jake some lessons for sure.
After warning Jake, Tommy raised his head. His heart was beating furiously, but he kept his composure, “We have prepared someone to guide you to meet King Herman.” He immediately called his Vice Captain, his right hand. He told his Vice Captain the real identity of the two because he did not know who Viona was, but he recognized The Emperor and The Supreme General.
“Why doesn’t Herman come to greet His Majesty? Are they looking down on us?” While Viona kept her voice low, Tommy heard it.
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva nervously. It looked that way because The Emperor came, but their King was not there to greet the Emperor. He was afraid that this might go south and everyone in this isolated area would be wiped out.
“Take it easy, Viona. They did not know and did not expect His Majesty would come himself.” Zhang Mengyao responded with a chuckle.
As the three silhouettes left the isolated area, only then Tommy breathed in relief, “Thank god that I stopped you before you made a stupid blunder, Jake. Or else, we all will die, and King Herman will not even bother to claim compensation for us let alone revenge if His Highness finds what actually happens.”
Tommy shook his head repeatedly. He could not imagine what would happen if Jake touched Zhang Mengyao. Not only was she the Supreme General, but also Tang Shaoyang’s wife. She was known as The Supreme General, but she was also The Empress of the Tang Empire. And The Emperor was right next to her.
His body shuddered in fear as he did not dare to imagine what would happen to him and The United Sovereign.
Hearing no response from Jake, Tommy raised his head and found out that Jake’s face turned white. Jake’s eyes were shaky, and he noticed Jake’s legs and hands were trembling. Then he witnessed Jake’s legs go weak.
Tommy then realized that Jake was not unscathed. He did not know what happened to Jake, but something must have happened to him.
That was right, Tang Shaoyang sent his aura and killing intent to Jake only. Being wrapped in his aura and killing intent even just for a moment, caused Jake to lose his spirit. He was engulfed in fear and anxiety.
“You should buy me a drink, Jake.” Tommy laughed at his friend’s misfortune, “I just saved your life.”
Jake looked up at Tommy. He did not resent Tommy, but he was grateful. If not for Tommy, he might not even be alive. He did not know what happened in those three seconds, but he could tell that if that man wanted him dead, then he would be dead in a matter of seconds.
“I will buy you a drink for a month or even forever, I don’t mind. You are my savior.”
