《Armipotent 》Chapter 272: Compromise
Advertisement
Kairu was about to chase but Wen stopped him, "Don't chase, we can use this chance for him to follow us willingly," the Jade Eagle planned something in his head.
"You follow me, but hide from the knight," he told the Flaming Lion. The latter wanted to say something but then he heard Wen said, "If you are itching to fight, just follow my order. You can fight the knights later."
Kairu's eyes brightened when Wen mentioned that he could fight. He nodded his head, as the Jade Eagle's beak raised a little bit, 'Easy.'
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang returned with his maximum speed. It was a tough journey for Arina as she had to cast a buff skill for herself. But she understood that he was in a hurry because the village was in danger.
It took them ten minutes to reach the village. Tang Shaoyang dropped Arina, "You wake everyone, tell them to move as soon as possible. I will buy time for you guys,"
He did not want to hear her protest or something. He was about to depart toward the direction where the knights were, but then a green streak landed right in front of him.
Wen blocked his path, he was about to say something but the bird spoke first, "Listen to me, I can help you to evacuate them to a safe place. I will guarantee their safety with my life that everyone with you will be safe!"
The Jade Eagle extended his hand toward Tang Shaoyang as his forehead glowing in green, "Reach my hand, this is an oath. If I break the oath, my life is at the stake."
There was no way that he would reach the hand immediately. It could be a trap until Arina said her words, "That is a real oath."

Tang Shaoyang was hesitating at this moment. If the thing about oath was true, then this was the best choice he could have now. It was until dozens of eagle beastmen descended from the sky.
He did not notice their presence, and he could not see them with his [Spirit Eyes] too. If these eagles truly had an ill intention, the villagers would be easily slaughtered by these beastmen for sure.
Tang Shaoyang did not have much time since the knights were approaching. If he rejected the eagle beastmen's proposal, he had to fight the knights alone, and there was a possibility the incident would be repeated.
'Their King wants to meet me, and they don't show any hostility either to me or to the villagers,' after a short consideration, Tang Shaoyang reached the scaly hand.
The glow on Wen's forehead was glowing brightly. Tang Shaoyang felt a warm current entering his forehead. He did not feel uncomfortable, at all, but he suddenly felt a string of connection between him and the Jade Eagle in front of him.
"Bring them to our place!" Wen looked up and ordered his people while Tang Shaoyang instructed Arina to follow the Jade Eagle, "You tell everyone in the village about our situation and his oath, tell them to follow the beastmen, this is an order!"
Arina who watched the oath from the side nodded her head. She then ran toward the villagers that were awakened by the noise and terrified at the sight of the beastmen. Tang Shaoyang did not have much time and could rely on Arina on this matter, he ignored the scream and rushed toward the direction where the knights were.
"Wait for us!" Cao Yuntai, Gu Yingjie, and Fan Rui rushed to follow him. They did not know the whole situation but they knew that their Boss was going to fight.

"You should stay with the villagers and protect them," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, but then Fan Rui smiled, "I am protecting them by fighting the bastard knights!"
Cao Yuntai slapped Fan Rui's head, "Be more respectful to Boss," then slap was quite hard, but Fan Rui just let out a silly smile since Tang Shaoyang did not call him out.
"Allow us to fight with you, Boss!" Cao Yuntai was direct with his words, "To be honest, I am not used to killing people even though I am from the military, this is maybe my chance to overcome that."
Tang Shaoyang turned toward the youngest, Gu Yingjie. The young boy was terrified in his first battle against humans. Watching Tang Shaoyang killed the bandits which also killed the human and killed the knight with his own hand, giving him a different sensation.
He felt sick and down for a few days after the battle against the Royal Knight, but this time the young boy had a determination to overcome his weakness. Gu Yingjie realized this would not be the last, not the last but might be the start. He had to overcome his fear by facing the knights that constantly threatened his life.
After a five minutes rush, they encountered the knights that marched toward the village. It was another group of Royal Knights, and Tang Shaoyang easily identified them by their red-colored armor.
Six knights in the front, leading the hundreds of knights behind them. The six knights had different attire, there was a symbol that differentiated the six knights and the hundreds of knights behind them.
'Six Grand Royal Knights and hundreds of Royal Knights, bringing them is a bad idea, but how do they find the village this soon? Are there more traitors?' Tang Shaoyang mulled over, 'But two weeks are quite long actually, but how do they find this place?'
"There's a skill that could track you even with minimum trails, two weeks is enough time for that skill to track you and your people," Wen descended from the sky and landed next to Tang Shaoyang.
"What are you doing here?" He questioned the Jade Eagle, "I come to help, of course. My King wants to talk with you, not your dead body," Wen replied as he shrugged his wings.
"Moreover, I have to lower his fighting hormone too, it would be too dangerous if he holds too much fighting hormone," the eagle beastmen pointed at the Flaming Lion that came out from behind the tree.
"You can actually stay behind and let me fight all of them alone. I will show to you the gap between you and this mighty Kairu," the Flaming Lion haughtily declared as he walked forward.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
