It was Tang Shaoyang's turn to frown. He knew nothing about this Buldorak City. How far was the city from here, how many fortresses they had to fight to reach the city, and why the demon targeted Buldorak City? More than that, he felt like this was a trap for them.
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh as he could not come to a decision. If that was a trap, meaning Commander Gustav expected them to die there. He was not sure if the commander was prepared to pay if Gustav expected them to die. This demon might not pay them even if they succeeded in taking the Buldorak Kingdom.
Tang Shaoyang for sure had a trust issue after what happened with the Adventurer Guild. He was not going to trust the commander, "I have to refuse if that's the case."
"Huh!?" Commander Gustav was surprised the players refused all of a sudden, "But why?"
Valky did not look surprised by the refusal, just shaking her head slightly.
"I don't trust you because this is not how it is supposed to work, no? This is more like a trap you set up for us."
"I think you don't care who you work for, but why do you suddenly care? Also, don't you want to go to the higher floor as fast as you could? I am giving you the chance to make it happen. And if you refuse my offer, who will you work for? The Caracius Kingdom?" Commander Gustav grinned wider, "We are in a temporary alliance with them, and I will make sure you will not be accepted by them. They might come after your life since you also killed their army. You have no choice but to accept my offer if you want to go to a higher floor!"
Tang Shaoyang fell silent for a moment, glancing at Valky. The demoness made no comment about this. It seemed the decision of hiring the players was in the hands of Commander Gustav.
Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh, then met with the demon commander's eyes, "We don't have a choice? We actually have two choices in my hand. It's just that the choice is troublesome and takes a lot of time to achieve our goal. The first choice will be taking your head and bringing your head back to Tarkon City. That should be enough to clear up my name. Ah, we have a hostage from Defiance too. That should be enough for The Union to trust me."
"The second choice would be more troublesome. I will not kill you. I will save your head for the last and let you witness how I destroy the demon kingdom! I want to see your expression when you realized that your dumb decision caused the fall of the kingdom! I am leaning more toward the second choice because my patience has run out! I need to vent out my anger a little bit and killing demons will make me less guilty! A win-win choice for me."
Tang Shaoyang meant it when he said it. It was not a threat. If he could not get to the thirteenth floor the normal way, then he just needed to force the demon kingdom to give him access to the thirteenth floor. It's just that he did not know how big the demon kingdom was as it might take them a few months or even years to destroy the demon kingdom.
Commander Gustav's grin fell while Valky immediately created a distance from Tang Shaoyang. She would be the first target if things went to the south. She was not expecting all of this, and she also did not understand what Commander Gustav tried to achieve by doing this, 'Don't tell me Gustav wants to capture the player to go out of the tower?' The thought crossed her mind.I think you should take a look at
"Buahahahaha…" Commander Gustav laughed, taking the threat as a joke. That was right, in his eyes, the threat was a joke. How could three people take the whole kingdom? That was just not possible.
Tang Shaoyang glanced at Rosalie and Lu An, "Let's do it the extreme way? Or do we want to try the beastmen first?" He consulted the two since they were moving as a group, he wanted to hear their opinion.
Lu An grinned ear to ear, "This takes me back to the days we just met, and the idea of taking a kingdom with just the three of us is quite exciting." That was right, Lu An was excited that they would fight the whole kingdom. This was the reason he wanted to follow Tang Shaoyang.
"I will follow your decision. It's not impossible for us to take this demon kingdom if their strongest person in the army is just Primordial Rank," Rosalie did not share the same excitement as Lu An, but she agreed with the extreme idea. Even if things went wrong, they could go back to the eleventh floor, "I am also quite a bit annoyed by them. Let's do it."
Tang Shaoyang tapped Wrath's and Greed's heads, "Go outside and run havoc. Get them busy while I capture the commander."
Wrath woke up, stretching out his legs while Greed was eyeing Commander Gustav, "Can I eat him, Master?"
"You can, but not now. We need him alive for him to see what he has done for his kingdom."
"Tch, what a pity. I feel like the demon outside tastes awful just like the demon army I ate," After saying that, Greed disappeared from his shoulder.
"That demon girl is Myth Rank, so I will her for you, Sis Rosa. I will look for my prey outside. There must be a few Ancient Rank outsides," Lu An also left the hall, disappearing into the shadows.
Wrath returned to his original size, destroying the mansion with his massive body as he flew to the sky. Commander Gustav and Valky were shocked that the lizard turned into a Golden Dragon. They were not expecting that the small lizard was a dragon, and the one who shocked the most was Commander Gustav. Before he could see his kingdom fall, he started to regret his decision. He intended to kill the players who had killed his army. There was no way he would let the people who killed his soldiers stay alive.
Buldorak City was part of The Union, the command center for the Union. Taking down Buldorak City could mean the fall of The Union. He did not think the players are capable of doing it because the strongest human stayed in Buldorak City, the Legend Rank Knight. He wanted to send the players to their death.
