Armipotent

Chapter 130 - First Casualties

From the four zombies he had, he ordered one to scout the surrounding. It was the zombie who had evolved its hand into a sword.

After ten minutes, the zombie came back with good news. The perimeter was safe from anything dangerous, only then Yu Shun was relieved internally.

"It\'s okay, we are safe for now," he comforted his girlfriend. The reason he did not fight against them was that he was not confident to win against them. They were the elite from the Flame Castle hence he did not dare to take the risk since he was with his girlfriend.

After he comforted his girlfriend, Yu Shun checked the screen that appeared in his eyes. Luo Lan also did the same, "Did the first portal also issue a mission too?" The girl asked her boyfriend.

They did not enter the first portal since they were safe from the pursuers, so both did not have any information regarding the portal.

"It should be, but capture the fortress and kill the Berserker King?" Yu Shun furrowed his brows. This kind of objective was a little bit impossible for him alone to finish.

\'In this case, I can only pray that the first team who cleared the first portal would clear the second portal as well,\'

\'Should look and find the beast or monster around, I have to increase my zombies to face the people of the Flame Castle,\'

"Let\'s go, we will look for a safe place for us to stay, like a cave or something maybe," they were in the wild, so he thought they needed to look for a place to stay before dark.

Luo Lan agreed to the idea as she nodded her head. Staying in the wild was quite dangerous even with the zombie\'s act as their guards.

Yang Wen stood in front of the portal, it had been ten minutes since he stood there.

A man that looked in his early thirties with a thin beard approached Yang Wen, "Should we chase them or we wait for them here?" The man was the Vice Captain of the elite team, Yang Wen\'s right hand, Pan Gang.

Yang Wen contemplated for a moment before he replied, "We will chase! Get the men ready in three minutes," since his three subordinates were dead, his team was left with thirty people.

Pan Gang nodded and left Yang Wen alone. As the Captain of the elite team, Yang Wen considered many things to enter the portal.

Actually, today they should be entering the first portal. That was the plan until someone else finished the first portal in a few hours. As someone who had experienced a mini-game, Yang Wen was a little surprised.

\'Tang Empire faction should be the one who cleared the first portal,\' as someone from a faction he knew that to create a faction you must have a smart base. With the smart base, it would boost the strength of these people, class, gears, and more. That was why he was never suspicious of the people from the neutral faction.

\'What should I do about them? Their numbers are doubled than ours,\' this was the problem, he was slightly afraid of this faction, \'Should I use the establishment name? It should be okay, right?

\'Or should we recruit the people from the neutral faction? But it would be useless, they don\'t have class, numbers are useless against someone with classes,\'

He was thinking hard about how to face the Tang Empire, \'Hah, I am thinking too much. As long as we don\'t offend them it should be okay,\' Yang Wen brushed his concern with such a thought.

Ten minutes later, the Flame Castle team entered the portal. They entered the portal that formed in front of their temporary camp.

The same thing happened in the military temporary camp. The attack brought casualties to the soldiers, but fortunately, none of them were killed in the process.

This morning, the three old men that became the leader of the camp decided to send a team to scout the portal. Qiu Shan, Liu Jian, and Fan De did not pursue the matter about the attack after they heard the report.

The opposite party had armor that could block the bullet. Their armors rendered their guns useless. On top of that, he had heard about the Leader who trashed their elite team. It was absurd but that was the fact as well.

Since then the three old men focused on the portal instead of pursuing the matter.

The scout team consisted of twelve soldiers equipped with a vest and guns. The mission was to scout the portal and after a day, they should report back.

The plan was simple, but they did not know that the plan would never work since it was a one-way portal. With no information, the scout team entered the portal.

Urgunda Lowland

The ground trembled a little as a big silver bear ran with all fours. Moon was carrying Tang Shaoyang and Li Na on its back as they headed back to the rendezvous point.

Sitting behind Tang Shaoyang, Li Na was holding onto his waist tightly. She placed her head on his back with a reason that the wind was too big for her to handle. Her face was slightly red as she kept smiling.

Finally, after a long wait, she had a chance to spend time with the man. Tang Shaoyang suspected nothing about the girl who was being clingy to him. He was thinking of how they would attack the fortress.

The man actually thought of sneaking into the fortress alone. However, he refused the idea despite feeling confident that the orcs would not be a problem for him. This fortress could be a chance for him to test his people.

Soon, the sight of the forest came into his sight, "We will arrive soon!" He told the girl.

Li Na immediately snapped out of her trance and peeked forward. She saw the forest ahead of them, a disappointment flashed on her face.

"Alright, stop here, big boy," Tang Shaoyang patted Moon\'s back as he called to stop. Li Na immediately jumped off the bear to make him a little suspicious of her.

They walked side by side into the forest and soon they reached the rendezvous point. There, he saw Wei Xi and his team, they were the first team to arrive.

Wei Xi also noticed them, he immediately stood up and approached the Boss, "Huh!? Where\'re the others?" He noticed that only Li Na, Moon, and His Boss.

"Did you find anything?" Tang Shaoyang asked Wei Xi, "Yes, we found an empty big cave," Wei Xi reported his discovery.

"Nah, we are not going to use the cave. I found the fortress, we will capture the fortress instead," he waved his hand to Wei Xi, "We will wait for the others and depart when everyone is here,"

Wei Xi nodded as he asked Tang Shaoyang what monsters his Boss encountered. Tang Shaoyang shared everything he knew about the orc, letting his subordinates know what they would face.

Half an hour later, Tian Donghai and Lu An\'s team came back from scouting the area. They found nothing useful but beasts on the way. Tian Donghai\'s team encountered a pack of black wolves called Dire Wolf. They easily killed the pack since it was only a stage-1 beast.

Lu An encountered the same beast but the number was doubled. They encountered two packs of Dire Wolf, but again Lu An\'s team suffered no casualties as they easily killed the wolves.

Yan Sheng\'s team came back ten minutes after the two groups arrived. But the team brought bad news with them, one person from the slave groups died and two people suffered heavy injuries.

Yan Sheng carried the one who suffered heavy injuries and that person was his brother-in-law, Kang Zian.

Tang Shaoyang approached them and checked Kang Zian. The armor that protected his chests were split open with a claw mark, from the area below his neck down further to his belly. His neck was also torn from the bite. He was on the verge of dying as his eyes half-closed and his breath weakened.

The second man was one of Tarriors, his belly was torn apart as well as blood kept flowing out from the injured. Tang Shaoyang faced a dilemma here, he had a healing potion but he only had one of it. One was his loyal subordinate while the other was his woman\'s prideful brother.

With such a heavy injury, half vial potion could not help them. After some thought, he took the healing potion from the inventory and gave the potion to the injured Tarrior. Yes, he chose to save his subordinate instead of Kang Zian.

After he fed the potion to his subordinate, he squatted in front of Kang Zian, "I am sorry, I only have one potion," he said to his ear.

His action shocked the people around him. They thought their Boss would prioritize Kang Zian first.

Just everyone thought Kang Zian would die, Lu An walked next to Yan Sheng who always lowered his head, "Here, use mine. I have an extra!"

Yan Sheng did not immediately take the potion but looked at his Boss. Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and Yan Sheng immediately fed the potion to dying Kang Zian.

"I owe you one," Tang Shaoyang\'s words directed toward Lu An but the latter merely smiled and shook his head, "It\'s not you who owe me, Boss! This guy is the one who owes me. I will collect the debt after he is strong enough to pay me,"
