Chapter 1799  Enemyʼs Coming

Tang Shaoyang watched Michaelʼs back slumping as he made his way out of the building, followed by his team members. Chaliceʼs eight team members cast an angry glare at him before they left. That was enough to tell him that their issue was not over yet.

”So what is this about? What did you do to him for him to go this far to get you?” Commander Edson asked Tang Shaoyang. There must be something behind that he did not know for Michael to go this far. To move one of his generals, Michael must pay a huge price for it, or else his general would not be easily bought.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged. ”Why donʼt you ask him? I donʼt know why he hates me so much. The day we leave for the mission is our first meeting. Maybe he could not accept me being the leader of this mission. Itʼs a big issue, itʼs not like I am ordering him around or anything.”

Commander Edson furrowed his brow. He could not believe it originated from something so trivial as being the leader of the mission. Or this guy did not know what he did? He then turned toward Atilla.

”I also donʼt know why, Commander Edson. If I know it would turn out like this or he hates Tang Shaoyang, I will not bring him with me for the mission. Itʼs me who chose Chalice to join for the mission.” Atilla also did not understand.

”I have no choice but to put you close to me, Tang Shaoyang. I donʼt know what kind of trouble you will get into if you are far from me. And I think my subordinates donʼt like you after your stupid declaration for thinking you can take us down with you.” Commander Edson let out a sigh.

He actually noticed the commotion early, and he thought the one who would fight was Michael against Tang Shaoyang. General Camlo was being stupid. If his general did not order his people to capture Tang Shaoyang, and let the two administrators fight, he planned to overlook General Camloʼs misdeed. Since he had to step in, he must punish General Camlo.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow because it felt like someone else who made a mistake, and he, as the victim, was punished as well.

”This is different from what you promised, Commander. If you are really that worried, then you can put me further from the main army. I can tell the wall is super long, and you can put me and my team there, a big section for my own team.”

”You must protect the frontier. Why would I put someone like you further from the place that will get attacked? That army will come for the frontier, only a few will target the other side of the wall.” Commander Edson refused to put Tang Shaoyangʼs team away from the frontier. As he said, the army would target the frontier as that was the only way for them to reach the God Realm.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow and realized that this would be different from the previous horde. Yep, this was an army, not a mindless horde. They focus their attack on one spot instead of spreading their force. If he was too far away from the frontier, he would not be able to finish his mission for the reward.

21,989/100,000 kills

He checked the total kills, and they had achieved the first reward which was ten thousand kills. The next target would be one hundred thousand, and then the next would be one million kills. He accepted the arrangement, but with a condition that their team only receive an order from the commander, from Edson himself.

Tang Shaoyang had more trust in Edson than the people below him. What happened just now was enough to tell him that the army in this place could be bought. Who knew that the Nirvana Alliance and the God Order might be able to buy these people to kill him.

After a short discussion, Team Kalisto and The Reds would be put together. This was to ensure that the same would not be repeated again. That was the last thing Edson wanted when an unknown enemy would attack them.

Commander Edson brought them to the wall. The wall that connected to the frontier was different from the one in the post-zero. This wall was much wider and had more space to hold many people, around fifty meters wide. There was another ten-meter tall watch tower on the wall and a three-floor station inside the wall itself. Instead of quarters, it was for the ranged soldiers, mages, and archers.

Commander Edson put Team Kalisto and The Reds right at the center of the defense, right where he was along with another general. It seemed like not many knew about his truffle with General Camlo and Michael yet. The soldiers greeted them with a smile and respect as most administrators, but that would change soon if they heard what Tang Shaoyang said earlier.

”So are we waiting here until they come here? Why donʼt you send a few squads to chip down the void creatures?” Tang Shaoyang leaned against the wall and looked toward Edson.

He remembered that he passed at least ten different walls when he left post-zero. That meant they were separated by ten similar walls with the void creature army. He felt like putting use to those ten walls and chipping the void creatureʼs army with ranged attacks instead of waiting here, doing nothing.

”Thereʼs no reason for us to leave the most fortified defense just to kill a few hundred of them. Thereʼs a chance that they have someone who is an expert in Void Elemental Energy. They might be able to create a portal to block our retreat. Too risky for a little benefit.” Commander Edson disagreed with the idea.

”If they can make a portal like that, then this fortified defense is useless, no? They could make a portal inside the frontier and flood the empire with their numbers.” That was a good strategy, getting inside without destroying the wall.

”We have artifacts that prevent anyone from forming a portal inside the frontier. Why do you think the portal is set up far from the frontier?” Commander Edson chuckled.

”Oh, really?” Tang Shaoyang was interested in the artifact. He could use some of them for his city as well. ”Let me try then.”

He could create a portal for a short trip, nothing complicated such as a portal that connected between worlds but still a portal. The Chaos Energy gathered in his right arm, and he tried to tear the space. The space was torn, forming a three-meter-tall portal, and then he made another two meters away from the first one. But when he tried to connect both torn spaces, he found something wrong. He could not connect them to make them a portal, there was something that stopped him from doing so.

”I canʼt connect them.” He muttered in a low voice.

”Itʼs amazing that you can tear the space inside the frontier. You are not supposed to be able to do that.” Commander Edson was surprised at first when he saw Tang Shaoyang easily tear the space. He thought there was something wrong with the artifact, and the guy would succeed in making the portal. He was relieved when Tang Shaoyang said he could not connect them, but he was still amazed that Tang Shaoyang managed to tear the space.

”But I can still do this though.” Tang Shaoyang activated [Spirit Switch], and he swapped with one of his shadow spirits in the post zero. The skill worked, and he switched places.

Commander Edsonʼs eyes widened in shock as his eyes stared at the empty space where Tang Shaoyang was. The young administrator disappeared, leaving a shadow where he stood right now. In the following ten seconds, Tang Shaoyang appeared again.

”What did you do just now?” Edson immediately questioned Tang Shaoyang.

”One of my skills allows me to switch places with my summon. I put one of my summons in the post-zero to keep watching the army. They are still amassing the army. There are still much fewer void creatures than the horde, but yeah, they are all armed with weapons and armor, even the beasts have armor on them.” Tang Shaoyang reported the situation in the Void Gate.

”You can see them right now?” The young administrator never failed to surprise him. Of course, The Hurakan Legion had their way to notice when the army moved. However, they could only sense their movement, not actually seeing them. ”Did you see something unusual, maybe the commander?”

If it was an army, there must be a commander. Edson wanted to know if the Void Cult sent one of the kings or even the emperor this time.

”I can see them even when I am here, and I donʼt see anything unusual. But they are lining up like a proper army as if someone is commanding them.” Tang Shaoyang shook his head. ”Do you think they will create a portal from there to get here? I donʼt see them destroying the wall to make a path.”

Commander Edson was about to answer Tang Shaoyang when he sensed a massive energy not far from the wall. He turned around and saw ten giant portals formed, connected to the army below the void gate.

”THE ENEMY IS COMING! GET READY TO FIGHT!” Commander Edson shouted, his voice echoing through the frontier.

Then he pointed at the portal with his thumb. ”You have your answer, young man!” Then he left the two team administrators as he arranged his people into formation on the wall. He told the archers and the mage to get down inside the wall.
