Armipotent
chapter-1162

Rosalie, Zaneos, Zowen, and Areth arrived at the Starter City. They had told the person in charge, Zhang Mengyao, that they would enter the tower. The Supreme Commander welcomed the four by herself with Kang Xue and Selena. The three women hugged Rosalie and led the group of four to the main building.

"Have you decided to come out of retirement?" Marshal Alton asked with a smile as soon as he met The Demon Swordsman. The old man tried to poach the Demon Swordsman into Tarrior back then, but Zaneos declined the offer with an excuse that he had retired from the battlefield.

The Demon Swordsman with a smile, "I don't think we are in such a dire situation, or else I will stay back as TEIS Instructor."

Marshal Alton clicked his tongue, "You are wasting your potential if you continue your job as an Instructor."

While The Demon Swordsman and Marshal Alton had a conversation, Rosalie and Zowen followed the Supreme General to another room for a conversation. Zhang Mengyao did not mean to interrogate the two, but she wanted to know what they wanted to do in the tower.

"What!? Are you going alone?" Zhang Mengyao was surprised to hear this for the first time. No one told her that Rosalie would follow Tang Shaoyang by herself. She furrowed her brows and glanced at the Lightning Magus. Even though she had not said anything, it was clear what she wanted to ask.

"I and Zaneos will move separately with Rosalie. We will be exploring the eleventh floor and trying to find more resources…." The Lightning Magus explained why she had to move separately. It was the same explanation she gave to Rosalie. She did not forget to tell about the resources they had encountered with Tang Shaoyang. Resource would be one of their targets in this adventure, looking for a bloodline for Zaneos if there was any just like the Ruby Dragon Bloodline.

"I see…." Zhang Mengyao scratched her forehead, having another complicated situation, "It's not that I want to forbid you guys to go out, but we are on the verge of another war against the Federation of Allurion. I don't think I can allow you to go out if you want to move separately like that."

Her source of information told her that The Federation of Allurion visited the Divine Church a few times already since her last meeting with Prime Minister Redvers Scovel. Even though she did not know what they discussed or planned, there was a high chance the two factions would try to gang up against the Tang Empire. If Rosalie and Zowen moved separately, they could become an easy target for both factions.

"I have Wrath and Greed, or at least one of them so I can track Ta— His Majesty's whereabouts," Rosalie tried to tell not to worry. Wrath was Myth Rank, the same rank as her.

"I know you are stronger than me or maybe most of us, but these two factions still have a lot of Primordial Rank. You can be in danger even with Wrath." Zhang Mengyao shook her head.

The Tang Empire won the war temporarily against the Divine Church, but it was because of their assassination. However, they did not kill that many Primordial Rank. There was no all-out war where they used all their force in one fight. The fight mostly happened in a small skirmish. It was either they ambushed the Divine Church, or the Divine Church ambushed them.

As for the Primordial Rank, they just killed four of them. It was Marshal Alton and Vice Marshal Moonsong who killed the four Primordial Ranks of the Divine Church. With the addition of the Federation of Allurion, there might be more Primordial Ranks or even Legend Ranks. The risk was too big to let them go out in a small group.

"I will join Sister Rosalie," All of a sudden, Lu An appeared next to Kang Xue. He had been hiding in her shadow and listening to their conversation. "With me around, there should not be an issue to escape even if we encounter someone stronger than us."

Lu An's detection was superb, and his concealment ability was the best in the empire that even Legend Rank failed to detect him. As he said, there should not be an issue for him and Rosalie to escape if they met a group of people stronger than them. However, Lu An was the leader of the Intelligence Division. He was the core factor that won them the war against the Divine Church. He could not leave his role when they were in such a situation.

"I am useless right now, Sis Mengyao. All I do is gather information and detect their movement. The ambush and assassination no longer work on them as they have learned my pattern. Gathering information and scouting their movement is something my subordinates are capable of. I would rather join Brother Shaoyang so I can become stronger." Lu An reached Ancient Rank a month ago, but since then, his growth had stagnated because the Divine Church closed its gate, refusing to go out to explore. "Yeon Hee and Sis Viona are as capable as me in that regard."

Zhang Mengyao massaged the space between her eyes. Lu An had begged her so he could leave her role to follow Tang Shaoyang. She could no longer prevent him with such a good excuse, "What about you? Two Ancient Ranks… Not that I look down on your strength or Sir Zaneos' strength, but your group will become an easy target. I believe Tang Shaoyang does not want to lose his spirits, and I will do everything to prevent that with all my power, even if I have to stop you by force."

Zowen's face tensed up. She believed that Zhang Mengyao could make that happen.

"Unless you have a solid plan that you can leave the city safely, or else I have to use my authority to stop you from going out."

The situation was worse than The Lightning Magus thought.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I actually have a good plan," Once more, Lu An interrupted the conversation, "I will make some preparations, and we will depart tomorrow night."
