Armipotent - Chapter 1691: Ceremony

Tang Shaoyang thought this would be another easy mission, but it was a troublesome mission. The trouble was not to kill the void creature but to find them. In four days, they only find the clue, but not the culprit. Even if they killed the summoned void creature in the war, they still needed to chase after the culprit. The mission was not over until they caught or killed the group behind this void summoning.

“Should we stop the rebellion to stop the void summoning?” Nayla asked.

The small meeting was attended by just Tang Shaoyang and his Admin Helpers. The others were tasked to watch the Navares Family. In case an outsider came to make contact with them. They were ready to send people to follow those outsiders.

Lucia was more rational and disagreed with that, “We should let the void summoning happen so we can find a lead to our target. If we stop the rebellion, we will not be able to find out the culprit.”

It was cruel to the innocent, the residents of his city. But they had no choice but to do so to finish their mission.

“I will start to investigate Duke Amalric’s factions tomorrow. From the top to bottom. Anne and Torben will keep a watch on Baron Navares and follow their army to the war!”

They agreed with Tang Shaoyang’s assignment. They could not allow Anne to stay in the city. She might ruin their plan and save the city. “What about the other teams in The Xales Kingdom? Are they answering our message?”

Tang Shaoyang put aside the problem in his city for a moment and asked Ira. Since it was a cooperative mission, they could send messages to the other teams from different kingdoms. However, Sheydos and Vigamaur Dgaror refused to cooperate with him. Surprisingly, The White Knight was the only one willing to cooperate and share their progress.

“Still no response from Sheydos and Vigamaur Dgaror. At this point, there’s no need to bother with them anymore. Let’s work together with the team who want to cooperate instead.”

Ira is also fed up with Sheydos and Vigamaur. The prideful Daenelis Clan was even willing to cooperate, but these two refused to cooperate.

Tang Shaoyang agreed with Ira, “Share our discovery with White Knight. Tell them to focus on the faction that is involved in war instead as our target most likely to get involved with those people.”

That was the little meeting between them. He let them return to their respective rooms, but none of them left his room. As if there was something they wanted to convey to him.

“Do you have something in mind?” He asked.

“It’s about Anne, Cap,” Nayla was the first one to open up, “Isn’t it better to kick her out of the team? We feel like it would be just a matter of time until she will mess up big and drag us with her personality.”

She used “We”, not “I”, meaning she was expressing the others’ feelings too.

Tang Shaoyang understood their concern, but Anne’s personality was the reason he kept her on the team.

“I think it’s fine as long as she listens to the order. I am more assured with Anne who expresses her emotion than Prodan and Torben who barely say anything. At least, we know Anne will never stab us in the back with her personality.”

“We are a team, we need to understand each other. It’s not like she is being unreasonable. She did not insist on stopping the rebellion because she understood my reasoning. She merely voiced her opinion. If her opinion aligns with us, we can agree with her, if it’s not, then we can refuse.”

Ira was relieved after hearing the answer. She felt bad because it was she who accepted Anne into the team. Anne had been opposing Tang Shaoyang here and there. She was afraid that Tang Shaoyang did not dare to kick Anne because of her. That was why she brought it up with the others, and they decided to talk it out now.

While sometimes Anne could be annoying, she never went overboard. Anne knew when to stop. Just like Tang Shaoyang said, they could trust Anne more than the two Junior Administrators.

“If you say so.”

The eight Admin Helpers left Tang Shaoyang’s room after confirming Tang Shaoyang’s opinion about Anne.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, not expecting they would be overthinking over something trivial. He was telling the truth about Anne. While sometimes she could be annoying, she was more dependable and could be trusted more than their two new Junior Administrators. There was no reason to kick her out of the team.

Throwing the thought to the back of his head, he focused on the three shadows. This time he sent them to investigate more about Duke Amalric’s supporters. Their target might not be directly related to Duke Amalric, but they might be one of Duke Amalric’s supporters.

While The Royal Family’s supporters were spending their time with their family before going to the war. Duke Amalric’s supporters were busy preparing for their rebellion. It was already midnight, but they were sneaking more army into the city and paying mercenaries to join their cause.

He was not expecting to find anything at this late night until one of his shadows snuck into Count Fontanella’s residence. All his family except for a few servants and the night guards were asleep, only Count Fontanella was still awake.

Count Fontanella was in his office, meeting a suspicious person. Suspicious because the person was wearing a black cloak, covering his build. Having a mask, covering his face. The clothing covered every part of the body, leaving no skin exposed.

Unfortunately, Tang Shaoyang could not use Chaos Eyes since he was sharing the vision with his spirit. He needed to switch places with his spirit to see through the mask. But he decided not to take the risk and eavesdropped on their conversation.

“How’s the preparation, Count Fontanella?”

Count Fontanella bowed his head toward this masked figure, “Duke Amalric has prepared everything for the day after tomorrow. We will start the ceremony the day after the army leaves the city. That way it will not interrupt the second ceremony at the border.”
