Chapter 1627 The Story Behind A Dungeon

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Herman watched the fight from another section of the wall. He stared at the trace of the fight. No, it could not be called even a battle, but a slaughter. The ten thousand army could not do anything as they were killed.

Herman imagined what if Tang Shaoyang fought The United Sovereign. He imagined Tang Shaoyang pulled the same move. Could he stop Tang Shaoyang? That was what was in his mind, and his confidence crumbled. With how fast Tang Shaoyang was, executing the skill flawlessly.

He could see the rain of golden swords because he watched the battle from the wall. If he was in the enemy’s position, he would not notice those thousand golden swords. The same with the enemy, he would focus on the person who was brave enough to attack ten thousand armies by himself.

Chief Mason’s legs went weak, leaning to the wall. He remembered what he tried to do after knowing The Tang Empire’s people would arrive today. He was glad that Jake did not follow his order. Just like his King, Chief Mason imagined the same thing. What if Tang Shaoyang was furious at his little trick and decided to fight The United Sovereign.

“Are you okay, Chief Mason?”

The soldiers went silent for like thirty seconds, trying to comprehend what they just witnessed. Then cheers erupted as the soldiers, then immediately announced their victory with the people in the city.

There was a pause for a moment from the people. It was just unbelievable that the enemy was uprooted so quickly. Then the civilians followed cheering, singing as the enemy was uprooted.

Tang Shaoyang returned to the wall with a sullen face. He did not look that happy after wiping out the ten thousand army.

“Are you hurt, Sir?” The man who tried to stop Tang Shaoyang earlier could not help but ask. It was not the expression of a man who had won them a battle. He thought Tang Shaoyang was hurt.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head and waved his hand at the man. He approached Viona and Zhang Mengyao, then he whispered, “I have finished the quest, but I killed more than I need.” He shared his quest’s progression with the two girls.

[4000/200 Demi-God Ranks killed]

That was right, the enemy had exactly four thousand Demi-God Ranks in that ten thousand army. If he shared the kill, they all would finish the quest and clear the dungeon right away. That was what made him upset. He did not expect the enemy would have exactly four thousand Demi-God Ranks.

It was supposed to be a long battle against Marquis Gallardo’s army, but it ended so fast because of him. Viona smiled, and Zhang Mengyao let out a chuckle.

The worst part was that it would take days even weeks for another army to come to attack The Kingdom of Ariot again. It would take time until the news about Marquis Gallardo’s ten thousand army was wiped out by The Kingdom of Ariot.

Tang Shaoyang returned to his tent with Zhang Mengyao and Viona. They ignored the man’s call. Just like that, the hero of the war hid himself in the tent. Tang Shaoyang knew for sure that he would be called by the King of this kingdom, and he would be busy with the nobles and the royalty. He handed that responsibility to Herman and his friends.

Thanks to him, they were also assigned to the new quarter as well with maids and servants to take care of them. Tang Shaoyang hid from people, to socialize with the nobles of this kingdom under the pretext that he was hurt and needed a rest. They left the hero of this kingdom alone.

The reason he did not want to waste his energy with these people was because they were fake. This was just a scenario created by the dungeon. He was not going to spend his time with fake people. He was having a good time with his wives, spending quality time with them.

“How is it? Did you get the reward?” They were at the dining table, enjoying dinner.

Herman and his people just returned from the castle after meeting with the noble. A day passed since their victorious battle against Marquis Gallardo. Today was the day that The Queen bestowed the hero with the reward. But Herman came in his stead to receive the reward.

“The Queen wants to be informed when you are ready to meet her. She insists on meeting you, so she asks to be informed when you have recovered from your wound,” Herman answered and added at the end, “It seems there’s more than just the reward. It looked like something urgent. You should meet her if you have the time, Sir Tang Shaoyang.”

It was not a King who led the Kingdom of Ariot, but a Queen. There was no King, and The Queen was still single. That was what Herman said before leaving the dining hall. He did not want to be the fourth wheel.

“Should we meet The Queen?” Tang Shaoyang asked. He was waiting for the next attack to be done with the dungeon after confirming the dungeon was quite safe for a Demi-God Rank.

He expected a God Rank in the hell difficulty, but there was no God Rank. It was just many Demi-God Ranks. Of course, it was still a hell of a challenge for the Demi-God Rank, but not for Tang Shaoyang who was a God Rank.

“If it’s something urgent, then we should meet The Queen. It’s not like we have anything to do.” Zhang Mengyao agreed to meet the Queen.

They had two choices, leaving the city and looking for the army from the two kingdoms to finish their quests. Or they could wait until the Kingdom of Lodel sent more armies to avenge the previous army.

“Let’s meet the Queen tomorrow, and we will leave the city if the enemy is not attacking the city,” Tang Shaoyang nodded.

*** ***

The following day, Tang Shaoyang, Viona, and Zhang Mengyao had an audience with Queen Cecilia. It was not the throne hall, but a private room. The Queen prepared the snack and tea, sitting behind the table while looking outside, at the garden full of flowers.

The Queen had pink-rose hair, long, and wavy. She was in a white dress, sitting gracefully with a cup of tea in her hand. Her gazes were melancholic while gazing at the garden full of flowers.

Queen Cecilia shifted her attention toward Tang Shaoyang from the garden, “I don’t like useless chit-chat, let’s get straight to the point. You are players from outside, right?”
