Armipotent

Chapter 1792  Not Eleven

The Commander in this place was from the Lysvand Family. He locked his eyes on Edson and compared his looks with Mathias and Nikolas. They definitely did not look alike, but maybe because the generation gap was too big.

”Are you also from the Lysvand Family?” Tang Shaoyang asked in curiosity.

[No! I am the last from the Lysvand Family, and I am not married!]

Edson had a deep frown when he heard the question while Mathias answered. Edson was surprised and also confused how an outsider like Tang Shaoyang knew the old tragedy that happened in the Hurakan Legion. It was a tragedy that later became taboo because the former head of the Lysvand Family was one of the emperors from The Void Cult.

”How do you know about the Lysvand Family?” Edson answered with another question.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged. ”I have my way of knowing things.” Then looked around at the void creatureʼs corpses. ”Do you mind if I take these bodies? My skeletons want these bodies to strengthen their army.”

Edson was having a hard time following the conversation. It started from the Lysvand Family which remained unanswered, and the young administrators were asking for the void creatureʼs corpses now. To be more exact, it was for their bones.

”You can take them, but you canʼt take their equipment if they have any. We need that equipment. Our blacksmith could smelt them back to make better equipment, and you havenʼt answered me. How do you know the Lysvand Family?”

”Just like how you didnʼt trust us, Commander Edson. I also donʼt trust you to share my secret. Letʼs keep it at that.” He was talking about Commander Edson taking the lead for his team. It was a sign that Commander Edson did not trust them enough. He understood why Edson did so and not trying to be petty about it. But this was his way of telling Edson that he would not tell him how he knew about The Lysvand Family.

Commander Edson furrowed his brow deeper. He was used to his subordinates listening to him all the time. They even told them most of their skills if he asked, so he did not like it when Tang Shaoyang kept everything secret. He also could not force Tang Shaoyang to answer because he was not officially his subordinate.

”Then what about him?” Edson pointed his thumb at Castor.

Tang Shaoyang shot a glance at Castor, confused about what happened here, ”Whatʼs wrong with him?”

”I think you need to explain what happened to him so I can be sure that he is not part of the Void Cult.” Edson thought Tang Shaoyang would explain, but the young administrator shrugged at his question.

”Thatʼs also part of my secret, one of my skills to help him neutralize the poison in his body during the Trial of God. What happened to his skin is the after-effect of the skill. I can only explain that much.”

Edson looked straight into Tang Shaoyangʼs eyes. He made sure that the opposite party knew that he did not like the answer. There must be more, and he wanted to know in detail instead of a cryptic answer. ”As I said, I am not comfortable enough to share my skill with you, Commander Edson. And why are you worried in the first place? Do you think a Void Creature could sneak into the Administrator Space undetected? Does that mean you donʼt trust the administrator?” He felt like Commander Edsonʼs concern was groundless. It felt like Edson tried to look into his skills.

”Actually, right now is the best time for you to confirm this directly with the administrator space whether we are actual administrators or not. System Avatar, Cloud, is in the Administrator Space right now. If you donʼt trust us, then you should trust System Avatar, no?”

Commander Edson was shocked to hear the System Avatar. Of course, he knew about the System Avatar. The people from the administrator called them System Avatars, but the Hurakan Kingdom called them God Avatars. They represented God in this world.

Edson let out a sigh and accepted that he would not get the answer. He did not press it further, but he had something to say. ”I can accept that you are not willing to share some of your skills with me, but I hope you will listen to my command when it comes to fighting the void creatures. I will not punish you this time, but thereʼs no next time!”

”Alright.” Tang Shaoyang nodded. He had found a new hobby with his bow, so he did not mind staying on the wall.

”And I have a gift for you.” He took out the Battle Kingʼs head from the inventory. ”I met him at the gate and killed him. He is The Battle King Soares, but is he actually one of the eleven kings?”

Edsonʼs pupils dilated, shocked by what he saw in the young administratorʼs hand. He looked at the head once more to make sure that he did not see things. Then he looked back at Tang Shaoyangʼs face. He repeated the same action a few times, and it was enough for an answer.

”He is one of the kings, huh?” He confirmed that Soares was one of the eleven kings based on Edsonʼs reaction.

After a while, Edson snatched the head and observed it closely. The shock turned into disbelief as he stared at Tang Shaoyangʼs face. He thought Soares was not guarding the Void Gate this time because Tang Shaoyang was still alive after fighting below the Void Gate for eight days. That was why he kept asking the other administrators whether their captain was still alive or not. He did not expect the young administrator to kill the Battle King Soares.

”H-How?” He finally managed to utter a word.

”I cut his head, and maybe I caught him off guard.” Tang Shaoyang was telling the truth. They caught Soares off guard and killed Soares after a short conversation.

Commander Edson let out a chuckle. ”I guess thereʼs no need for me to confirm your identity. This is enough to prove your identity that you are not part of the Void Cult.” He tossed the head back to Tang Shaoyang. ”Thatʼs also proof that you donʼt need me in your team for the next battle. I will assign your squad a post, and you will defend that area with your team.”

Commander Edson waved his hand at Tang Shaoyang as he jumped back to the wall, humming happily. He understood now why they sent Tang Shaoyang to replace an Executive Administrator. The young administrator was as capable as the Executive Administrator.

From today onwards, it was no longer eleven kings but ten kings. He needed to relay the good news to The King.
