Chapter 668 - First Attack - Part 1

—If you are that bored, then you can join the war instead. What do you mean by you can't join the fight unless the two Guardians fight too?

Rosalie could not understand his reasoning at all. However, it was not Tang Shaoyang who answered her, but her best friend, Crystal.

—He can't join the war because he will kill most of the armies by himself if he joins the fight. That's a good thing in a way but bad overall. You are a former Queen, and you should know your soldiers can only get stronger by fighting and leveling up. So he has to watch from the sideline and intervene when something dangerous joins the fight, like the two Guardians of The Lionax Kingdom.

—Of course, I am not justifying what he did. He is quite evil to do that, but again, you need to be evil to lead many people, or else he will fall to the evil. Haven't you experienced it by yourself by trusting your people too much?

Rosalie no longer refuted what her friend said. You have to be evil to know what the evil thought about. It was not wrong, but she still could not agree with what Tang Shaoyang did. Again, her words did not matter to the guy anyway. She just wanted to know why the man did this as she thought Tang Shaoyang was quite decent.

—He is not as decent as I thought, but why did you choose her over anyone else? There are more people that are better and more talented than her. Why would you choose a weakling like her?

Rosalie started to question Tang Shaoyang's choice now. If he wanted to start a big project like this, choosing someone more experienced and stronger than Viona. It was clear that this lady was never participating in the battle at all.

—I don't think talented people matter in the game. Everyone has the same chance, a bit more luck, you will be stronger than the one experienced. On top of that, experiences are something you could gain. We are in a war, and she will get the experience you are talking about if she survives the war. However, the desperate one is quite different. She is desperate for power, and she will risk her life for the power. Someone like her will grow strong faster than the talented one since this is a game where numbers matter.

It was Zaneos, the one who replied to Rosalie. The Demon Swordsman felt evil and good were just nonsense. It would be good as long as it benefited them, and the process did not matter. In the end, it was just a deal between his Lord and the woman. It was not like his Lord forced the woman. The woman consented to the act as well. 

Tang Shaoyang ignored the spirit as he was choosing the equipment for Viona in his inventory. He brought a lot of equipment in him, and it was the equipment from the last Survival Battle. He chose Tier B Sword and Tier B Shield for her. "And for the armor, I think I can ask Alton about that. He must have knight armor in him." He did not have armor for her.

"Or should I give her this one?" Tang Shaoyang took out the Flaming Sword. It was an Epic Tier Sword, one of the Lionax Kingdom's treasures. "Nah, I will see her performance if she deserves this one. If not, then Wei Xi is a sword user; he deserves the sword."

Viona furrowed her brow when someone shook her. 'Who disturbs my sleep?' She opened her heavy eyes and saw a man. Then last night memories started to pour down into her head, and she opened her eyes wide. She sat up and tried to cover herself with the blanket, but there was no blanket on the bed.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes. "What do you want to cover up? I have seen everything and tried everything. Get up, we will depart to the battlefield soon. Unless you change your mind and want to stay behind with your children?"

Only then did Viona remember entirely that she made a deal with this man. She looked around and realized that she was still on the same tree. However, she noticed a sword, a shield, and armor at the edge of the bed.

"I have prepared the gear for you. You can use it for now, and if you can prove your worth in the battle, I will give you better equipment." Tang Shaoyang pointed at the equipment. "Also, I figured out that you want to bid farewell to your kids, so I wake you up early."

Viona said nothing as she immediately grabbed the clothes first. She dressed up and got the chainmail for the inner armor before she wore the armor. While she rarely fought, she was still level 178, fortunately. She had enough attributes to wear heavy armor, though she was still stiff to move around with the heavy armor.

"It seems you are ready." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head as Viona put the helmet on. "However, I will cast the [Spirit Fusion] only when the battle is about to start because integrating with the spirit will exhaust your body."

"Alright." Viona nodded and was about to jump, but she stopped midway. "This is too high for me. Can you bring me down?" Twenty meters was still too high for her, and she might break her legs if she jumped without thinking.

Tang Shaoyang grabbed her waist, and Viona only saw blurred scenery with her eyes. The moment the blurred scenery stopped, she was right below the tree. She was surprised by the speed as this man could move this fast. 'But this is something to be expected from him. He was someone who united Gigante Forest.'

As soon as Tang Shaoyang released her waist, she ran back toward the camp. This could be her last day with her children, or maybe today was the start of her vengeance.. Either way, she had to meet her son and daughter.
