Armipotent-Novel



The Artamao Kingdom was the kingdom that ruled the demon territory. Different from The Union led by a council that comprised many people. The demon had one leader, the Demon King.

"Now, before we get to the report. I want to know what my Captain Guard did to deserve such a treatment?" When Tang Shaoyang thought the Demon Commander would not bother with this, Commander Gustav brought it up.

"Because he tried to prevent me from doing my duty," The demoness answered instantly.

The Captain Guard was massaging his jaw, but he immediately spoke when he heard the demoness' words, raising his voice slightly louder than Valky, "I am doing my work. They have to follow the procedure to enter the fortress. That's my duty as a Captain Guard!"

"But you know one of them suffered from mana poisoning, and he needed immediate treatment. Also, do you think I will bring a bunch of assassins to the center of command? Do you doubt my loyalty to The King, Sir?" The last question was directed toward Commander Gustav.

Commander Gustav seemed to realize the issue. He squinted his eyes at the Captain Guard. The latter was flustered at the gaze, "I am just following my duty as the Captain Guard, Sir."

"Leave!"

"Y-Ye-Yes, Sir!" The Captain Guard said no more, leaving the hall in a hurry.

"I want to hear the important news that forces you to return here," Commander Gustav returned his serene gaze at Valky.

"I have one bad news and two good news. The bad news is that our army that is supposed to take Varil Fortress is annihilated along with the Caracius Kingdom's beast army."

Commander Gustav frowned deeper at the bad news. The coalition of the two thousand armies was supposed to take the fortress easily. He was confident of that with the Varil Fortress' condition.

"Did The Union send a reinforcement?" That was the only logical cause of the annihilation. One Myth Rank and five Ancient Ranks along with two thousand forces. That should be enough to take the Varil Fortress. In fact, they were overkill, yet the army was annihilated.

"I think they send a reinforcement, and they are the reinforcement," Valky gestured toward Tang Shaoyang's group.Follow current s on Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Commander Gustav slammed the armrest of his chair, breaking it into pieces as he stood up from the chair, "What's the meaning of this, Squad Leader Valky!?" Along with the shout, he released the fierce aura, suffocating the room with his terrifying aura. Though it barely affected Valky and Tang Shaoyang.I think you should take a look at

"This demon is so annoying. He is so noisy, should I eat him, Master? He looks tasty, I think," Greed, who awoke from his sleep, muttering in annoyance. His voice echoed in the hall, and Commander Gustav and Valky's attention shifted to the black cat. Both looked surprised at the talking cat.

Tang Shaoyang flicked Greed's forehead, "Don't do anything weird. I don't want to make days of trips to the beastmen's territory. We have wasted so much time on this ridiculous trip." Then he looked at Commander Gustav and Valky, "You guys can continue your conversation."

"They are players, Sir Gustav. I took them from The Union because The Defiance wants to capture and frame them for killing General Muril. They are willing to work for us now," Valky explained, "I bring them here because I can only get the contract from this fortress."

It was known there was once a civil war on the human side as the human divided into two groups. The people who were willing to take this floor as their home, and the second group who wanted to go out of the tower; The Union against The Defiance. The only way for them to get out of the tower was the players, after all. The Union did not want to be hostile against the players which could bring total destruction to them. In the end, The Union defeated the Defiance even though they failed to root the Defiance to the root.

Commander Gustav calmed down, but the demon soldiers barged into the hall. The aura and the slamming noise attracted the soldiers on guard. The demon soldiers looked confused because nothing happened inside the hall. But they saw the breaking part of the chair, but there was no fight and Commander Gustav was not in danger.

"Leave!" Commander Gustav ordered the soldiers as he returned to his seat.

"What about the second good news?" Commander Gustav made no comment about the players, but he clearly did not like Tang Shaoyang. There was a little bit of hostility in his gaze. Maybe because they annihilated the demon army before coming here, but Valky mentioned that, telling The Commander that the players were reliable.

"We managed to capture one of the Defiances, and he was familiar with the human territory's terrain. We can use him to our advantage, and maybe, we can try to get into Tarkon or maybe Buldorak. I leave him at the Alchemist to treat his mana poisoning." That ended up with Valky's report.

However, the issue was not over yet as Commander Gustav shifted his attention to Tang Shaoyang, "What about you? Why do you want to fight for us, the demon, instead of the human?"

Tang Shaoyang clicked his tongue, "Tch, I don't care whom I fight for. We fight to climb the tower, not for the demon, not for the human, or not for the beastmen. We fight for ourselves! If we know another way to climb up the tower, then we will not be here. Just make your decision, will you accept us or not?"

He was annoyed with how the natives made things complicated. Whether human or demon, both are the same. They just needed to know that he was a player and proceed with the recruitment so he could start earning some Tower Coins. If he had to assume that one enemy was the same as one coin. That meant he had to kill a million, and the group needed three million. It was not that hard considering the rank of the people they encountered, but the issue was the number. Where could they get three million to kill?

"Welcome to the Artamao Kingdom," Commander Gustav grinned ear to ear, "If that's the case. I have a duty ready for you. I will reward you with one million each if you can take down the Buldorak City."
