Chapter 1797 Unexpected Development

Having her ego hurt by her captain, Ira accepted the challenge. They came out together and told Atilla their decision. Atilla expected the refusal, and Anne was disappointed that she could not spend more time with her idol.

It was fortunate that Atilla accepted the refusal without any issue. If it had been Michael of Team Chalice, it might have been a different result. Atilla said goodbye after that.

As soon as Atilla left the lodging, Ira rallied the troops. She conveyed word by word what Tang Shaoyang told her a moment ago that they were weaker than the spirits. She then told them about the challenge of fighting the spirit.

Ira thought the others might have the same reaction as hers but not. Her fellow Admin Helpers exchanged glances unsure what to say. They agreed with the statement because they saw what the spirits were capable of in the first fight against the void creature horde.

Anne, who had not long ago seen a few spirits in action and the army of spirits, also accepted the fact that she was weaker than the spirits. Khaya and her clan members said nothing.

"Cap is not wrong though. Haven't you seen them when we fought the first horde? The soldiers from the Hurakan Legion also told us that the horde is easier than usual because of the spirit army." Castor was the one who answered Ira. "We saw how those spirits killed the void creatures like weak mob monsters while we were struggling behind them."

Being reminded by Castor, Ira recalled the unknown army near Tang Shaoyang. She also saw them, but somehow she forgot about them. No matter how much she disliked Castor, she had to agree with him this time. She was blinded by her emotions earlier, and she did not know why.

Even though most of the spirit army was blurred since it was too far from the wall, she saw them running through the void creature horde. Could she do what those spirits did? The answer was a big no, she did not think she could last for eight days in that situation.

"Nah, it's fine. We can have some warm-up before the actual fight, no? We can ask for a private training ground and have you guys fight my spirit. That might help you to know more about the spirit you will integrate with." Tang Shaoyang thought this might help them to get closer to the spirits, and maybe choose the spirit they wanted to integrate with.

Ira looked at Tang Shaoyang's smile, an evil smile. She knew that she could not say no to this. 'Do you really want to see me get beaten?' She thought bitterly as she was about to say yes until their door knocked again.

Captain Barome opened the door after knocking three times, not even waiting for them to open the door. "Your team will be assigned with my squad on the west side. Get ready to leave! I will send one of my men to pick you up later." As he said that, he was about to leave.

"This is different from what Commander Edson promised me, Captain Barome." Tang Shaoyang did not agree with the assignment.

Edson promised they would not be paired with any other squads, and it still did not change after their evacuation. Edson did not tell him anything during their way back to this frontier. From the way Barome worded his words, it was like Barome made the decision by himself to pick his team.

Captain Barome halted his steps and turned around. "But this is the order!"

"Order from whom?" Tang Shaoyang questioned.

Barome said it was an order, but he never mentioned the name of the person who made the order. It was as if he was trying to hide something.

"Are you refusing to listen to the command? This is Insubordination! You will receive disciplinary sanction!" Instead of trying to explain the situation, Captain Barome threatened Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang was baffled by the sudden development. This just made Captain Barome even more suspicious than he initially thought. Barome came over and dropped the command then he tried to leave as quickly as possible. It was suspicious because it looked like he tried to hide something from him.

"Captain Barome!" General Camlo's face reddened that a mere captain ignored his call. He raised his voice, and Captain Barome snapped out from his daze and followed the voice in fright. The Captain did not dare to look at anyone's face, including Tang Shaoyang, lowering his gaze to look at the ground instead.

"Tell me what happened here! Why did that administrator attack you!?"

Tang Shaoyang expected a random accusation from Barome's mouth, but to his surprise, Barome told General Camlo exactly what happened. This caused General Camlo to frown, and he noticed Michael's smile faltered. This did not develop exactly as they planned, at least that was how he saw it.

"Regardless of what happened here, you can't attack the soldiers of the Hurakan Legion, physically or with aura! You will be arrested as we investigate what happened. You will be released after our investigation." General Camlo decided.

Captain Barome raised his head in shock. He was supposed to accuse Tang Shaoyang and arrest the young administrator. However, he did not follow the plan after getting the taste of Tang Shaoyang's aura. He realized that this young administrator was as fearful as Commander Edson, just from the aura. He did not expect that General Camlo would continue with the arrest.

Then turned toward Tang Shaoyang, and the young administrator was smiling. It looked like the young administrator was amused, and that creeped him out. His heartbeat increased, and he could hear it, his own heartbeat, beating furiously.

"So, if I get attacked, I can't use my power for self-defense?" Tang Shaoyang asked.

Barome mentioned that he used his aura first before Tang Shaoyang overwhelmed him. His action could be considered self-defense.

"Does that mean if you tried to slice my head, I can't slice your head?" He added.

General Camlo ignored the question. "Are you going to resist the arrest? Are you going to fight the Hurakan Legion!? This is the territory of the Hurakan Legion, and whoever you are, even if you are an administrator, you must follow our procedure!"

"This is just a misunderstanding, General Camlo. You already heard from Captain Barome that he used his aura first." Atilla tried to help out. She had a feeling that Tang Shaoyang would not accept this treatment, and a fight might break out.

"This is the Hurakan Legion's problem, so we don't need you to meddle with Chief Administrator Atilla. We will resolve the problem in our way." General Camlo replied in his stern voice.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. "So what happens if I resist the arrest? Will all of you come for me?"

"Yes. The Hurakan Legion will use everything to capture the criminal!" General Camlo answered.

Tang Shaoyang faked his shocked expression. "Am I a criminal now?" but his fake expression changed into a smile. It was a smile that seemed to be interested in something.

"So you will use your force to capture me, but who will fight the void creature army?"

General Camlo clicked his tongue. "Tch, we don't need to deploy all soldiers just to capture you. I am alone enough! You are overestimating yourself, young'un. Being an administrator doesn't make you strong."

"I may not be the strongest out there, but I am confident to take down the Hurakan Legion with me. Why don't you try it?" Tang Shaoyang did not back down from the threat. In fact, he took them with a smile. "Since you want to make it big, why don't we make it even bigger?"

General Camlo and Michael did not expect that Tang Shaoyang would show no fear against the Hurakan Legion. Especially for Michael who did not expect Tang Shaoyang to challenge the Hurakan Legion.
