《Armipotent 》Chapter 389: The Second Vassal
Advertisement
The moment Tang Shaoyang received [Light Radiance] buff, he decided to take the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe to be the Empire's vassal.
He just did not show it on the surface, maintaining his dignity as the Emperor. But as soon as he received the second buff, he realized the worth of the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe.
"Very well, your kind seems to possess an amazing skill that will be very useful in combat and war. You have proved that!" Tang Shaoyang praised them for their skills.
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty. Please take us to be the Empire's vassals!" Helia knelt again toward Tang Shaoyang. Her people immediately followed her and repeated the same words.
[Are you willing to accept the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe as the Tang Empire's vassals? Yes/No?]
A notification appeared before Tang Shaoyang. There was no hesitation with his decision as he immediately chose yes.
"Since we have finished with our business here, let's head back and regroup with the main force. Let's help them to conquer Jiaxing City," Tang Shaoyang spoke to Kairu and Pride.
"Don't you want to see my two remaining skills, Your Majesty?" Helia hesitated for a while before she asked.
"Do you have more skills?" Tang Shaoyang looked toward Helia then he remembered there were indeed two more skills he had not seen, [Light Impetus] and [Light Fall], "Are those two skills also support skills?"
"No, my two remaining skills are attacking skills, [Light Impetus] and [Light Fall]," Helia shook her head.
"There's no need, you can use the skill to protect yourself in the moment of danger," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. He was not that interested in the attacking skill.
"What about the main tribe of the Bombyx Mori Tribe, My Lord? Should we eradicate them?" Kairu thought that while they were here, they should go to fight the Bombyx Mori Tribe.
"No, our priority is the zombies!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head at the proposal. His priority was the zombies. Why? Because the zombies had something that could destroy the land. He did not want the land that would be his territory to be destroyed by the zombies.

As for the Bombyx Mori Tribe, they could fight them after they eradicated the zombies. It was not too late by then. On top of that, he did not see the Bombyx Mori Tribe as a threat since the Kairu and Pride duo could eradicate their army.
Furthermore, the zombies were attacking the Bombyx Mori Tribe as well. The zombies would make them busy while he would fight the zombies as well.
"Yes, My Lord!" Kairu and Pride did not question their Lord's decision.

Meanwhile, Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao led the main force, destroying the villages with zombies. Zhang Mengyao did not bother to share the zombies as they crushed their way toward Jiaxing City.
Soon they arrived at the perimeter of Jiaxing City. They got to see the wall that Wen talked about. The ten meters tall steel wall circled the city and a few watchtowers behind the wall could be seen from a distance.
Yu Shun was the lone guy in the front with his zombies. He led the charge, using Shredder as the scout. His zombies kept increasing each time they encountered a village.
There was one stage-5 in each village, and they encountered another five villages before they reached here, meaning he had added five more zombies into his collection.
Yu Shun discovered four watchtowers and two defensive towers near the gate. The defensive tower was the same as the defensive tower they had.
There were few ballistas installed on the defensive tower. He also saw the zombies packed the watchtowers, "Hoho, is that the new species?"
Yu Shun discovered the zombies on the watchtower looked different. Their right hands were in the shape of that crossbow.
Wei Xi came closer and observed the watchtower. He frowned at the sight of the packed zombies on the watchtower. The city seemed to be prepared for their arrival to tighten the wall where they would arrive.
'That King Biron should realize our arrival and command his subordinate zombies to prepare for the attack,' Wei Xi guessed correctly. The zombies anticipated the attack from their direction and put more zombies into the defense.

"What's the plan? Do you want me to take down the towers first? I can do that, those nine are quite reliable with their magic!" Yu Shun grinned as he pointed at the nine zombies.
"Moon can break the gate if you want to," Li Na also joined the conversation.
"You don't need to worry about the gate. I have three Hummers and three Crushers to break the gate," Yu Shun grinned as he pointed at the new collection.
Wei Xi did not respond to their proposal as he looked toward Zhang Mengyao. She would be the one who made the decision for the attack.
Zhang Mengyao was aware that the zombies anticipated the attack, "Since they have the watchtowers, do you think they would set up traps for us too?"
The distance between the wall and the forest was two hundred meters. In this two hundred meters range was a green surface. There was no obstacle between the forest and the city, it was too open. It was possible so the zombies could detect the attack, it was also possible for them to set traps for the attack.
"Now you say that. That's actually possible since the Zombie Lord is quite smart," Yu Shun agreed with the possibility of the traps, "I will send Shredder to check the terrain!"
Zhang Mengyao then looked toward Wen, "Can you do a quick check again? I want you to check the zombie's placement. If you can, also please check if there are any new types of zombies in their formation."
This was the second time that she would be leading the people, her own people. She did not want the first tragedy against the first zombie horde to be repeated.
Wen nodded and immediately flew to the sky. The Jade Eagle shot toward the sky until his figure was barely seen before he flew toward Jiaxing City.
Wen quickly noticed that a big swarm of zombies was staying behind the wall. There were many of them, too many. It was as if the zombie placed all the zombies in the city behind that wall.
Using his sharp vision, Wen tried to identify the zombie. It would take a while for him to relay the information.
Meanwhile, Shredder made discoveries and relayed them through their telepathy.
"You guessed right, General Zhang. Shredder found hole traps, many of them!" Yu Shun shook his head, "We can charge blindly together, we have to be careful with the trap. It will take some time before Shredder can uncover all the traps."
"We will wait. We need to wait for Wen as well, there's no need to hurry," Zhang Mengyao nodded.
As they were waiting for the traps to get uncovered and information from Wen, Delia nudged Zhang Mengyao and whispered, "Sister Mengyao, I think I see Shaoyang!" She then pointed at the black dot in the sky.
It was a small dot and the dot was right above the center of Jiaxing City. Delia managed to see the dot thanks to her passive skill of Hunter Class, [Sharp Sight].
Right after Delia said that Zhang Mengyao received a message from Tang Shaoyang. The message was short.
[I will attract all the zombies toward me! Use the time to enter the city.]
Right after she read the message, the dot was descending to the center of Jiaxing.
Boomp!
A booming sound rang and she could feel a slight vibration from the ground.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.
