Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang flew toward Tarrior Barrack near the border where the rebel was. He actually did not know there was a barrack near the border, but he easily found the location after ten minutes of flying. The border was to the west of the capital, next to the unclaimed territory. The barrack was easily found out because it was the only building next to the wired fence that separated the empire territory and the unclaimed territory.

On top of that, he could see many people surrounding the barrack. Tang Shaoyang spotted Marshal Alton among the people around the barrack. That was right; the Tarrior did not attack the barrack but just surrounded the barrack outside the fence.

Tang Shaoyang flew down, landing next to Marshal Alton. Marshal Alton and the Vice Marshals bowed their heads toward Tang Shaoyang, "What's wrong? Why don't we attack the rebels?"

"They are holding hostages, Your Majesty. They caught a squad of healers and the supply team stationed in this barrack. They will kill the hostage if we forcefully break into the barrack," Marshal Alton briefed the situation.

Tang Shaoyang turned around and checked the whole barrack through his Spirit Eyes. He quickly spotted the hostages in one of the buildings. The building was guarded by the rebels in Tarrior Uniforms. However, the number of hostages did not match up with the number that Marshal Alton reported.

There were only thirty hostages in that guarded building that looked like a warehouse. There were seven buildings in the barrack area, and he scanned the other buildings, the building that was supposed to be a dorm where Tarrior slept. There he saw the remaining hostages, a total of thirty women, getting raped in turn by the rebels.

Tang Shaoyang almost exploded in anger as he saw the scene. There was an urge to activate his Fire Domain, and he razed the barrack. That would kill all the rebels inside the barrack, but it would kill the hostages too. He managed to hold back the urge and turned toward Marshal Alton, "Get your best men ready to attack. We will be attacking the barrack and saving the hostages as soon as possible."

Tang Shaoyang shared the information, the barrack layout, and where the rebels held the hostage, "I want you to move right after I start my attack."

"But I have called Lu An. Lu An is the perfect person to sneak into the barrack and set up the attack for us," Of course, Marshal Alton had his own plan, not just waiting passively.

"No, we can't wait!" Tang Shaoyang's order was firm, "I want to attack the barrack right now. You just need to listen to my command and plan, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Marshal Alton realized that something he did not know happened inside the barrack. He quickly realized there was something that pushed Tang Shaoyang to launch the attack right now. He obeyed the order and called a squad of fifty people.

While Marshal Alton prepared the attack squad, two figures landed next to Tang Shaoyang. Avyn and Zara arrived right in time, "You are going to have fun without us, huh?" Zara nudged Tang Shaoyang, but the latter had a deadpan reaction.

"Stupid angel," Avyn rolled her eyes, "Can't you read the atmosphere? You are a spirit; you should have known what he felt right now, no?"

Only then Zara noticed the blazing rage in Tang Shaoyang. Just like Avyn said, this was not something about having fun. She was not sensitive enough to say something inconsiderate.

"I am sorry…."

"It's fine. You two follow me. We will attack the barrack and rescue the hostages, but don't kill a single rebel. Killing them is a mercy for them, and they don't deserve mercy!" Tang Shaoyang responded flatly while his gaze remained on the barrack.

Marshal Alton was ready with his attack squad, and he also set command to his Vice Marshal to attack the barrack after his signal. Two thousand Tarriors were stationed in this barrack. That meant there were two thousand rebels inside the barrack if all of them rebelled.

Fifty people might be too little for those two thousand Tarriors, but those were elites. If they could rescue the hostages, the rebel was done for. Twenty thousand Tarriors surrounded the barrack, and the rebels could not escape from the encirclement.

"We are ready, Your Majesty!" Marshal Alton reported.

"The signal is the explosion. Once you hear the explosion, then go to the building I told you about earlier. I will rescue the remaining hostages myself," Tang Shaoyang did not have a specific plan. Marshal Alton just needed to forcefully break into the barrack after the signal, rushing toward the warehouse while he attracted the rebel's attention.

"Remember to not kill the rebels unless you can't capture them or the hostages are in danger, then you can kill them," Tang Shaoyang emphasized to Marshal Alton and the other Tarriors not to kill the rebels. He had another plan for the rebels, not to forgive them, of course. He wanted the rebels to pay the price for what they had done.

After receiving a yes from Marshal Alton, Tang Shaoyang flew to the sky with Avyn and Zara. The plan was simple, they would attack the dorm from the sky. The rebels would not be able to react to the attack from the sky. From what Marshal Alton told him, General Su Hong was merely Epic Rank. It baffled him that a mere Epic Rank decided to rebel against the empire.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, and Zara flew to the sky. The three figures became a dot before disappearing from the sight of Marshal Alton.

Tang Shaoyang floated in the sky, looking for the empty building. He gathered fire in his right hand, and the black fire got bigger and bigger in his hand. When the fire reached five meters in diameter, he threw the fire at the empty building.

He could throw at the building where the rebel was, but again, he did not want to kill the rebel. Killing them was a mercy, and he had prepared the deserved punishment for the rebels, especially for the leader, General Su Hong.

Tang Shaoyang threw the fire at the empty building as he dove toward the barrack. As the fire hit the empty building, he also landed right in front of the dorm. A black fire mushroom rose into the sky, and that was the signal for Marshal Alton.

Tang Shaoyang landed right on the front door of the dorm. He heard the series of hurried steps from inside the dorm. The rebels inside tried to find out what happened outside, "Remember, don't kill the rebel if possible."

Right after his reminder, the door flung open as three rebels rushed out. The three obviously were not expecting to see Tang Shaoyang, Avyn, and Zara. They halted their footsteps with their mouths opened wide, shocked to see the Emperor right in front of them.

Tang Shaoyang was about to knock the three out, but the three rebels' bodies suddenly fell to the ground, "I put them to sleep. They will not wake, at least for another hour. If I use too much, I am afraid they will fall into a long coma."

"An hour is more than enough," Tang Shaoyang entered the dorm along with the two girls. Avyn and Zara soon found out why their Master was upset. They could hear the scream from the women inside, an agony, disturbing scream.

"I see…." Avyn muttered in a low voice, "Can I have a few of these rebels later?"

"We will talk about that later, but you know what we should do, right? We will split up and save them as soon as possible." As they spoke, more people rushed into the hallway. Zara effortlessly put them to sleep.

"I will take care of the first floor then," Zara entered the hallway.

Avyn went upstairs with Tang Shaoyang. It was a five-floor dorm, and Tang Shaoyang directly went to the fifth floor. The fifth floor was where the biggest room was, the place for the higher rank Tarrior stayed, and he expected to see Su Hong there.

Tang Shaoyang arrived on the fifth floor. He was in front of a door, a door to the biggest room in the dorm. The door opened as a man stepped out; the man buttoned his shirt and grumbled, "What happened outside? Can these fools do their jobs for once…."

The man halted his footsteps as his hands stopped moving upon seeing the figure in front of him. He recognized the figure in front of him, The Emperor.

"Your face is quite familiar? Are you General Su Hong?"
