Chapter 1187 Varil Fortress - Part 1

?

"They are my companion and can help in the battle," Tang Shaoyang nodded, confirming General Muril's guess about the beast.

Wrath opened his right eye, then he closed it again as if he was not interested in the human. As for Greed, he was not interested in the conversation between the humans, keeping his eyes closed despite the noise.

General Muril nodded and brought Tang Shaoyang to the couch where the Vice General slept earlier. They got into the business as they sat down on the couch.

"Can I see your badge?" He asked about the badge. There was no change in his expression at the sight of the wooden badge. After inspecting the badge a little bit, he returned the badge.

"I would like to ask again, do you want to reveal your rank? This is for the sake of our defense. As you know, we got attacked last night by the Demon and the Beastmen. I need to know your strength to place you in the right position." General Muril believed that Tang Shaoyang and his friends were strong, or else, they would not be on this floor.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I don't want to reveal my rank, and you can treat us based on our rank."

"Yo, newbie, why don't you just reveal your rank? There's no need to be ashamed of your rank, and if you are worried you will be placed in a dangerous location, then you don't need to worry. I can protect you," The Vice General who stood to the right of General Muril spoke out, grinning as he looked Tang Shaoyang in the eyes. He had the look of a man in his early thirties, with brown hair, and sharp eyes.

Tang Shaoyang completely ignored the man, looking at General Muril. The man was clearly not worth speaking to, but General Muril also said nothing. He understood General Muril's train of thought.

General Muril wanted to use his Vice General to probe his strength. That was why he did not stop his subordinate from provoking Tang Shaoyang. But Tang Shaoyang was not easily getting baited as he could see the whole picture. Also, he could tell why the man provoked him.

The Vice General was attracted to Rosalie, and he wanted to use this chance to humiliate Tang Shaoyang, showing that he was a superior man to Tang Shaoyang. That was the reason why he came after Tang Shaoyang, and Tang Shaoyang was aware of that because the two Vice Generals never stopped looking at Rosalie.

The Vice General got angry and jumped right in front of Tang Shaoyang, "Are you deaf, newbie!?" He raised his voice right to Tang Shaoyang's face.

"If you want to use your subordinates to probe my rank, then you make a mistake, General Muril. I will kill your subordinate if you don't control him!"

That totally angered the Vice General and he raised his fist. However, before he could launch his punch, General Muril moved first. He grabbed his subordinate's waist and pulled him backward. The Vice General crashed to the wooden wall as his scream rang, blood sprayed all over. Then a hand fell on the table.

General Muril sensed the young man's movement. That was why he pulled his subordinate. He was prepared to stop the fight, but he was still too late for that. He was angry regardless of who was at fault, but then his eyes met with Tang Shaoyang's eyes. That gaze forced him to control his anger and kept the feeling for himself.I think you should take a look at

His instinct, who had experienced countless battles, warned him that the man in front of him was a death flag. That was just a sharp hunch that he must avoid the fight at any cost. He raised his right hand to stop his second Vice General, "Treat his wound. I will take care of this issue."

The second Vice General glared at Tang Shaoyang and gritted his teeth. He was ready to jump into the fight at any time, but he ended up following the order.

"You are too heavy for just a simple argument, Tang," General Muril's tone hardened, telling the players that he did not like what Lu An did to his Vice General.

"I have warned you."

"But still, if you are superior to him, you can just knock him down instead of killing him."

"I have warned you," Tang Shaoyang repeated the same answer, but he added a question at the end, "Why?" That was a simple question, but that caught General Muril off guard.

"Why can't you just follow the procedure, such a simple procedure yet you make it so complicated. If you just follow that simple procedure, this will not happen. Why?" Tang Shaoyang really did not understand General Muril's thought, "You can just treat us as new recruits and deploy us as you should, but why are you doing this?"

"Are you afraid that I will take your position or what? You, soldiers, are really ignorant just like Manager Fier said. We are players. After we achieve what we should achieve here, we will leave this place. I just need your cooperation. You do your parts, and we will do our parts, it's that simple, really. What's the point of knowing my real rank? Or perhaps, are you part of the group who want to get out of the tower?"

General Muril was lost for words. He wanted to establish the hierarchy of who was the person in command here. That was a common thing when someone strong came to the fortress. But again, what was the point of doing that when Tang Shaoyang and his friends had not done anything wrong?

"Hah…"

Tang Shaoyang let out a long sigh, and he took back what he had said about General Muril. In the end, he did not really like Muril. All of this was pointless and stupid, and this would delay their hunt to gain enough Tower Coin.

"I am really really considering changing sides at this point. I think Demon or Beastmen are less complicated than overthinking fool humans. What do you guys think?" Tang Shaoyang asked Rosalie and Lu An.
