Chapter 1669 The Third Kingdom (1)

Tang Shaoyang chuckled and found it amusing how this woman switched one hundred eighty degrees in such a short time.

"Do we? I don't recall the administrators in my trial taught me that lesson. And if you need my protection, that means you are not strong enough to join the raid."

He took a few steps close to the woman, meeting the woman's gaze.

"Rather than becoming a burden, you should stay here. Who knows how many more people will die to protect someone like you who thinks she is entitled to protection just because we are fellow administrators."

"If you and your team are not strong enough to survive the mission, you should never join the mission in the first place. If you and your team are not strong enough for a kingdom, then you should not fight it in the first place."

Anne's eyes widened in fury. She could not accept it when Tang Shaoyang said they were a burden. That reminded him of what happened to her team and the others during the raid.

"Did you promote her to Junior Administrator?" Tang Shaoyang turned toward Birom.

"She is Senior Administrator Anne."

Ira and the others always stayed with him since they arrived in the fort. They overheard the conversation.

"How did she become..." He stopped midway, "Why would I care?" He shrugged, "If you don't want to share the information, then it's fine too. We will leave in a few minutes, Birom."

He then left the wall with his team, leaving Birom and Anne behind.

Birom stopped Anne who was about to say something at Tang Shaoyang.

"We will do it like the previous raid as well. You can join me as a vanguard or you can support me from behind. It's your choice, but just so you know, I am not going to help you. You are on your own!"

"What's with that crappy plan!?" Anne blurted out as she could not hold it back any longer.

"What are you going to do with the shadow calamity!? They could move in the shadows and ambush us! Shouldn't you offer a solution to face the ambush!?"

She thought Tang Shaoyang had a plan to counter the ambush since they were confident in the raid, but she was wrong. He offered nothing, not a plan or even a method to face the ambush. Her information was useless, not used in the planning, at all.

"What solution? Let them come out and ambush me. I will kill them, so you can be at ease in the back!"

Anne was at a loss for words. She felt like this man did not understand the threat from the shadow calamity.

"Ah, the back line should be more careful. I think the shadow calamity will attack the back line first. If they are smart, they will ambush the back line and cut the retreat to ensure we will not escape this time. So the back line should be more careful. It doesn't mean you are safer because you are behind."

Tang Shaoyang did not come up with that part. It was Ira who reminded him that the shadow calamity might target the back line. If they were smart, which was most likely, they would attack the back line.

"Then I will stay in the back instead of joining you as the vanguard," Birom volunteered to stay back.

Anne wanted to say more, but she was stopped by Birom. She protested and complained about how dangerous it was to continue the raid with such a crappy leader. Of course, she did not say it out loud, but she expressed it with her gestures and expression.

"We will be fine. Executive Arion is watching from the shadows, and he would not let any of us die."

He was telling Anne that Executive Arion would protect them instead of Tang Shaoyang. He was aware that Tang Shaoyang was also aware that Executive Arion was watching them.

Anne was frustrated, but she still followed the team for the raid. Once they arrived in the familiar, the entrance to her hell. The fear and terror returned, but she braced herself to continue until they arrived at the entrance to the kingdom's territory.
