Chapter 1368  The Young Lion\'s Frustation

Their next destination was Akkon City. Another city that was taken from The Orin Kingdom by The Temple. Of course, The Adventurer Guild also had a branch there. Their big influence allowed them to set up a branch anywhere regardless of who managed the city. Not just that, the adventurers were a big help in clearing out the small disturbance by the monsters.

Ladirma looked listless as he followed Tang Shaoyang and the four beastmen. The big hit lasted longer on him after knowing his idol was not real, but a story created by The Temple to boost The Temple\'s fame. Having one of their knights defeat the dragon was more impressive than one of the Gods killing the dragon. That would leave a deep impression which made people remember about The Temple each time they brought up The Legendary Knight, Jovrick.

"We have arrived at Akkon City, Sir," Tisha had become even more careful after witnessing how a single person overpowered an army. So did the other three beastmen.

"Our target is The Temple, but what about The Adventurer Guild, Sir?" She asked so she could know what to do in case they had to face the Adventurer Guild again.

Tang Shaoyang\'s plan was simple. He destroyed at least four to five temples before forcing The Goddess of Harmony herself, Rubia, to come to him. So he would visit the other three cities after Akkon, three cities with The Harmony Temple.

"Yo, Worm1. Do you know something about the Akkon Adventurer Guild? How strong is their guild leader compared to the one I killed in Turan?" Tang Shaoyang did not rush into the temple this time. He had another plan for the Adventurer Guild. It seemed the Demi-God Rank was not rare in this world, so he thought of bringing them back with him as an additional force for his Empire. Those Demi-God Ranks might become the God Ranks by the time the truce was over.

"I am not too familiar with them. I come here to fulfill my quest to join the fight with The Temple against The Orin Kingdom. I don\'t know anyone from this city adventurer guild. But there\'s a requirement to be a Guild Master. At least, the Guild Master has to be Legend Rank. That\'s the minimum requirement." Ladirma replied.

"Then let\'s do the same. We storm into the temple and wait for the Adventurer Guild to come. We will respond to them accordingly. If they are too weak, then we can leave them be." He was not a murderer, killing people mindlessly. There was a reason why he wiped out the Adventurer Guild in Turan City.

The Turan City was too close to The Orin Kingdom, and The Adventurer Guild would not stay still after knowing he killed their Guild Leader. If he left them be, they might come for The Orin Kingdom. He did not want to go back just to fight the adventurers he left behind. That was why he came with two choices, slave contract or be killed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Of course, now he wanted to take these adventurers as his slaves for his selfish reasons. They just needed to serve The Tang Empire for thirty years, and they would not be treated as slaves but as normal people. It was just that they had no choices just like his citizens. These adventurers had to fight for the empire in their time of need.

The same with the Turan City, The Harmony Temple used the previous Lord\'s castle as their temporary temple. It was easy to spot how conspicuous the castle was. It was big and at the center of the city, easy to spot from above.

The five figures dove into the castle which lacked guards. There were only two knights outside the castle, and there were no guards inside the castle wall. The four landed without being noticed. The Temple thought they would not be attacked when there was a city and an army separated them from The Orin Kingdom.

"Easier than before," Ron muttered. The knights in the city wall also failed to notice them.

"So, there\'s this one apostle in each temple?" Tang Shaoyang asked as he pushed the metal door. The metal door was pushed flawlessly without making noise. It showed how well-maintained the metal door was.

"No, but each temple must have at least five Bishops which usually are Legend Rank," Tisha explained, "There were only twelve Archbishops and Twelve Clowns for The Clown God. Two Archbishops usually stay at the main church while the remaining Archbishops are moving actively, leading the army in the war."

"Just five Bishops, heh? Does that mean you guys can handle this, right?" As they entered the main hall, four knights stayed on guard at the stairs that led to the second floor. The four knights looked at the foreign guests, and they stared at the four knights as well.

Tang Shaoyang slapped the back of Ladirma\'s head, "What are you doing, Worm1? Get it done quick. Speed. I want speed from you. Lead these four young\'uns and wipe the temple!" He called the four beastmen young\'un even though most likely they were older than him.

Maru was the first one to act as soon as he heard that. That was a green light for him to move and was followed by Ladirma. Kaltum, Ron, and Tisha followed after the two and ended the knight\'s lives before they knew what happened.

"I will wait for you guys here, and don\'t forget to bring the body if they are Legend Rank! And don\'t get separated. We don\'t know if the five Bishops are Legend Rank or Demi-God Rank! Make a run back here if you can\'t beat them!"

With the instruction, the five left as a group. They started it from the first floor, sweeping the first floor flawlessly like an assassin.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang went out and leaned against the pillar near the entrance. He acted as a guard if the Adventurer Guild sent a reinforcement. Or maybe there were knights who came back to help.

"I want speed, but shouldn\'t I go myself then?" He was quite worried deep inside. He had not seen what the four beastmen and Worm1 were capable of.

[Why don\'t you summon me out? I can speed it up] Zara volunteered to fight.

"It\'s just Legend Rank. Let\'s save Energy in case The God Ranks come right away. It takes a lot to maintain Vandir, so let\'s save up a bit." Even though he had almost limitless Chaos Energy because he never ran them out in a war or a fight. He always had a lot of energy left after the battle, but he was still cautious. Confident, but not overconfident, he always reminded himself not to be overconfident.

Meanwhile, Maru was running out of breath after his fight against one of the five Bishops stationed in Akkon City. His enemy was Legend Rank, one rank lower than himself but he had to work it hard to win the fight. His fight blasted the castle, most of the interiors were in ruins because of their fights. Tisha fought one by herself while Ron and Kaltum worked together to kill one Bishop.

Worm1 yawned as he had been waiting for quite a while for the four beastmen to finish their fights. He fought two bishops, and he finished the fight much earlier than them.

Maru had a bitter look as he glanced at Ladirma. They were both at the same rank, but it was obvious who was stronger.

"Do you guys need my help if we face a similar situation in the future?" Ladirma asked because they could see that the four beastmen were struggling to fight The Bishop.

"How?" Maru stood in front of Ladirma and asked.

"How what?" Ladirma was confused at the young lion\'s question, furrowing his brow.

"How are you stronger than me even though we are in the same rank?" He was frustrated and devastated. If he was weak compared to Tang Shaoyang\'s slave, then how big was the actual gap between him and Tang Shaoyang. That was what frustrated him the most.

"There\'s more than just rank, kiddo. Experience, class, level, and maybe System Unique Technique," Ladirma shrugged.

"System Unique Technique?" That was the first time Maru heard about that.

"Yes, it\'s similar to skill but also different. It\'s a skill, but also not a skill. Different from the normal skill, you have to learn this Unique Technique manually. How can you not know this? It\'s rare, but should not be that rare, especially for us The Demi-God Rank. We can enter various kinds of dungeons easily, and that technique is one of many rewards from dungeons."

"Dungeon? We are glad that we have survived until now. The battlefield is the place where I level up and reach The Demi-God Rank. I don\'t think it would be this hard to catch up, Sir Tang."
