Chapter 1641 The Abandoned World (1)
Tang Shaoyang was confident The Executive Administrator Arion and Arion who helped him all this time were the same person. He could not be wrong with the voice.
That explained why he smiled at him earlier. Arion’s status as The Executive Administrator explained everything. How Arion could meddle in the Dimensional Tower, how Arion found out the Nirvana Alliance made a move on him during the trial, and how Arion forced The Nirvana Alliance to make a truce.
“That explained why Executive Arion let us join him. If it’s another Executive Administrator, they will not let us join. A team with just one Administrator.”
Ira expected their application to join the mission to be declined. She was surprised when their team was accepted. She thought Tang Shaoyang’s feat allowed them to join. It turned out Executive Arion knew Tang Shaoyang.
“To be honest I regretted joining you when we entered this hall. Their unfriendly gazes and hostility would turn our work to hell. But it’s different if you know someone in the Executive Administrators.”
Ira voiced her genuine feelings. She was deterred by those hostilities.
“Don’t get your hopes too high. While I know him, our relationship was limited to a few deals we made back then. I am not that close to him.”
Tang Shaoyang poured cold water on Ira who thought they would have a good time in this special mission.
The short speech was a little over thirty seconds. Arion did not talk much about the mission. By the time his speech was over, everyone in the room was teleported to the abandoned world.
Ira was the first one to open the map, the same tool Tang Shaoyang used when he was in the first stage of the trial, the Enchanted Chart. The chart was given along with the scroll.
“We are in the 17th Fort,” She clicked her tongue, “We are quite unlucky, huh? The calamity around here was Rank 6 and above.”
“We are in the right place,” Tang Shaoyang was glad they were teleported here. He needed those calamity’s corpses for his spirits.
“All the teams gather here!”
Tang Shaoyang looked toward the voice. The leader of another team called the other teams. From what Ira briefed him, there were two hundred teams in total and twenty forts. Ten teams would be assigned to a random fort. There were nine other teams in the same fort with them.
He did not recognize anyone in the same fort. Everyone followed the voice and gathered around. The one who called them was a wolf beastmen.
“He is Arnold Boratos, a Chief Administrator. It looks like he is the highest-ranked Administrator in this fort,” Ira explained as they went to gather with everyone, “He has a big influence, so be careful around him.”
“I will not pick a fight with him, but I will not stay still if he tries to do something funny. You should know it, right?” Tang Shaoyang shrugged.
She nodded helplessly, “You are the boss, you make the call. But let’s avoid making contact with the other teams as much as possible.”
Ira’s suggestion obtained approval from the others. That was the better solution. The less they met, the less likely for something to happen.
But Ira soon realized that a conflict would likely arise between Tang Shaoyang and Arnold. When they arrived, she noticed the look on Arnold. The Chief Administrator paid more attention to Tang Shaoyang than the other teams.
She felt something bad would happen as it looked like Arnold targeted Tang Shaoyang. She hoped her feelings were wrong.
“As you already know, ten teams occupy each fort! To get things in order, we need a leader, and I will propose myself to be the leader! Raise your hand if you disagree?” Arnold’s stern voice echoed as if there was an invisible pressure from his voice.
Ira furrowed her brows, not just her, but many Senior Administrators from the other teams also frowned. The briefing did not say that they needed to appoint a leader in each fort. Most importantly, why did they need a leader? This was not a war, but an extermination mission.
Of course, no one was brave enough to question The Chief Administrator’s decision, but one person. That was right, one person raised his hand. That person was Tang Shaoyang.
“It’s not that I disagree with you as the leader, but why do we need a leader? Don’t we just need to move on our own, with our team, and kill those calamities?”
Ira and her friends lowered their gazes. They just agreed to avoid trouble or make contact. But their Captain straight questioned Arnold in front of the other teams.
“Good question from a newcomer with no experience!” Arnold did not forget to point out that Tang Shaoyang was just a new administrator.
“Calamity is not just a mindless monster. Many of them form a tribe, a colony, or even a kingdom on their own. A tribe of calamity should not be an issue for one team, but how are you going to kill those calamities who have formed a colony or even a kingdom?”
“In a tribe, you usually find one Unique Rank Calamity, but it’s different when it comes to a colony and a kingdom. Based on the research, a high-rank colony usually has at least ten Unique Rank calamities. And don’t be surprised if you discover a kingdom with more than a hundred Unique Rank Calamity!”
“We need an order! We need a leader if we are going to fight a colony or a kingdom! You can’t move on your own, or you might put the other teams in danger!”
The other teams accepted the reason why they must have an order in this fort. That made sense as they needed teamwork between teams when they fought big group calamities. But of course, there were still three teams that were not convinced by Arnold.
“I see, but I still don’t see the point of choosing a leader. Whether it’s a kingdom or a colony, don’t we just have to fight them? It’s your decision, as a team, whether to fight together or on your own.”
“Everyone who joined the mission should know the risk and the enemy they expected to fight. If their team is not strong enough to face a kingdom or a colony of calamity, they should not join the special mission in the first place!”
“Again, it’s not that I disagree with you as the leader, but I don’t see a good reason why I need a leader.” Tang Shaoyang was not the type that liked to be ordered around. That was why he did not like the idea of having someone above him, especially when a leader was unnecessary.
