Armipotent

Chapter 1345 Is This a Confession?

Tisha was shaken as it was hard to believe her elite squad was taken down so easily. The most concerned was The Orin Kingdomʼs defense would be weakened with the fall of her squad.

She was alarmed that there was a big abnormality at the back of the city which was supposed to be empty. They did not send the weaker squad because they were afraid the abnormality might kill them, and they could not afford to lose more people than they had. But now, they were on the verge of losing one of the elite squads.

Tishaʼs squad might not be the strongest, but they were the core of the army. What was more alarming was that the enemy disposed of the elite squad easily. If the enemy attacked the city, they might lose more people before they could take down this man. Her heart was pounding, nervous and terrified of the possibility that The Orin Kingdom would fall.

ʼWhat about them?ʼ She looked up but there was nothing to see. The fifty Jade Eagle was nowhere to be seen. Her focus was on Tang Shaoyang and did not know what happened to the Jade Eagle. Terrified, she looked around and found the beastmen earlier, holding one of Jade Eagles in the neck. The fifty Jade Eagle was also defeated or crushed might be the exact word.

”You have learned the lesson,” Tang Shaoyang could see the fear, not just see, but he also sensed the fear from the female tiger beastmen. Completely different from their first meeting which brimmed with confidence.

Hearing no response from the Frost Tigra, he shook his head. It seemed the shock was too much for her as she still stood there in a daze. He checked his inventory for a healing potion. Since he beat them all, he must take responsibility to heal them as well.

That was the bad news. He never brought that many Healing Potions. There were not enough healing potions for a hundred people as he only had one stack in his inventory, a stack of ten healing potions.

”I hope they have healing potions in the city,” Tang Shaoyang muttered as he approached the leader of the squad.

Tisha reacted when Tang Shaoyang moved, approaching her. She panicked and that led her to fall. Falling on her butt as her eyes widened in fear while looking at Tang Shaoyang.

”This is kinda counter-productive,” He realized that her spirit was crushed in this single battle. Not only did she lose her confidence, but she also lost her spirit to fight. He did not expect this to happen.

Snap! Snap!

Tang Shaoyang snapped his finger twice, ”Wake up! I am not your enemy, so donʼt worry. I will not kill you and your subordinates.”

She calmed down a little, but she was still consumed by the fear. That was not his intention in this fight, ”It seems I messed up big this time.” He handed the healing potion, ”Drink this potion and go back to the city to fetch more healing potion. I donʼt have enough potion for all of you.”

Tisha calmed down, but her heart was still beating even more furiously as the human approached her. She thought he would kill her, but to her surprise, the man gave her a potion. Any words that the man spoke did not register in her brain early. The voice was muffled and vague.

She kept looking back between the potions that shimmered in the light. It was her first time to see a potion like this. She hesitated to take it as the manʼs action did not make sense. He beat her and her team, and then he gave them a potion? It did not make sense, at all.

”Donʼt tell me you think this is a poison?” Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, ”It seems I was beating her a little bit too hard. Do you think I will bother to use poison when I can snap your neck? Quickly take the potion and return to the city to get more potion for your subordinates. They are all still alive, but they might die if you donʼt return in time with the potion.”

With a little bit of scare, Tisha took the potion and chugged in one shot. The potion was cool when the liquid touched her tongue. But the cool sensation turned warm as the liquid entered her body. Not only it was warm, but it was also comforting. It was the first time she felt this way by just consuming a healing potion.

In the next ten seconds, all the pain in her body was gone. Especially on her ribs which she believed cracked from a single punch from the man in front of her. She felt rejuvenated and fresh, and she felt less scared of the man.

She received four more potions from the man, and she did not hesitate to receive them and fed them to her people.

”Now go back and get more potion for the rest. While you are at it, inform Frost that Tang Shaoyang is here,” Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, telling her to go quickly.

Tisha was about to talk back. It was impudent to call The King by his name. But the beating that she just experienced, prevented her from talking back. She turned around and left with her four subordinates without saying anything.

[You beat her and her people too hard. You can summon me to resolve the misunderstanding. That child knows me. Or you can let them capture you, and Frost will meet you later.]

Rumru disagreed with Tang Shaoyangʼs lesson. There was no need for a hard beating to crush their spirits.

”It seems you are forgetting that I am also a leader of my people, Rumru. I canʼt kneel just to solve misunderstandings. I am The Emperor of The Tang Empire, and how will my people see me as if they know their Emperor is kneeling just to solve a silly misunderstanding?”

”Summoning you might clear the misunderstanding, but it might also lead them to attack me. They knew you were dead a long time ago. And no one knows you are my Spirit aside from four beastmen Kairu, Wen, Frost, and Jacky. They think that I am trying to project your image or something to trick them which will anger them even more. Sometimes violence is the best way to solve the issue, and it seems she learned to hold back after the beating too. She makes some progress there,” Tang Shaoyang shrugged.

The beating might be too much, but he did not regret it. Even if they were injured, it would not affect the defense because he was here to help them anyway. He then ordered Radiance to gather the injured and lay them under the shade of a tree.

”Why donʼt you follow them? Isnʼt that much faster than waiting here?” Avyn seemed to be bored of waiting.

”You seem in a hurry? Whatʼs the matter?” Tang Shaoyang noticed.

”I havenʼt had enough fun yet. Arenʼt they in a war? Let me help them, I am bored.”

He rolled his eyes, ”Why donʼt you help Radiance if you are bored?”

”I am fine here. Itʼs better for Sister Avyn to not help me. She might kill someone accidentally,” Radiance overheard the conversation and responded from a distance. He was moving the body with the show, gathering in one area.

It did not take long for the White Tigra to come back, but this time she brought more army. There were around a thousand beastmen following two Frost Tigra.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, not because of the army but because he could not find Frost among the one thousand beastmen. He shot a glance at Tisha, and the latter cowered behind another female White Tigra who seemed in a higher position than her.

”Tch,” Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue, ”It seems you havenʼt had your lesson yet. I told you to tell Frost to meet me, and that will solve the misunderstanding. I know you will not believe me whatever I….”

Before he finished his words, the Female Tigra cut him off, ”I prevented her from meeting my father because I want to see first what my future husband looks like.”

The bored Avyn immediately cast a sharp gaze at the female Frost Tigra and showed hostility for some reason.

Tang Shaoyangʼs expression turned from frown to confusion, from confusion to frown again. He tried to understand what he just heard, but everything made a little sense. This was the first time they met, and the girl already talked about a future husband.

”Your future husband? Who?”

”Arenʼt you calling yourself Tang Shaoyang?”

”I am Tang Shaoyang.”

”Then you are my future husband. My father arranged my marriage, and he told me my future husbandʼs name was Tang Shaoyang. You are Tang Shaoyang, and you know my father as well. Arenʼt you my fiancée?”

Tang Shaoyang blinked his eyes in confusion and muttered in a low voice, ”Is this a confession?”

He did not remember this marriage arrangement. He thought deeply, trying to recall the past. Then he remembered that Frost mentioned that he had a daughter and wanted him to marry his daughter.
