Arnold Boratos smirked when he heard the response from Tang Shaoyang. As if he expected the response.

"Have you fought a Unique Rank Calamity, newbie? You just join the Administrator, and this is your first mission. You should never fight even one Unique Rank Calamity based on your experience."

Tang Shaoyang smiled, "I have fought and killed Unique Rank Calamity. Not just one, but more than ten. The administrator overseer for my trial incited a city defense on purpose, so yeah, I have fought those Unique Rank Calamities you mentioned."

He then clapped his hand, attracting the other teams' attention, "Let's make it easy. If you are afraid of moving on your own, then you can set up an order just like that guy said. I prefer to move on my own with my team. That's my decision."

"I am doing a favor for you, newbie!" Arnold raised his voice, "You seem to know Executive Arion, so I am doing this for you so we can protect you from doing something stupid. Or else Executive Arion will come for us if you are killed when you are in the same location with us."

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I appreciate your goodwill. Unfortunately, I don't see this thing as a favor, and I don't need your protection. Let's do it our own way."

"I don't like wasting my time, so yeah. I will be going first guys," He turned and waved his hand at the other teams.

"Calm and collected… I have improved," Tang Shaoyang said as he made his way to the closest gate. He thought he responded to it very well, and calmly, and also made sure not to be offensive as well.

"Hah… I should have expected this. Calm and collected my…" Ira was about to say my ass, but she refrained from saying that to her leader, "Even though they will not kill us with their own hand, they might use the calamity to kill us."

"What? I don't humiliate, and the thing I spoke about is reasonable as well. Why does he want to kill us?" He recalled his words, and he felt like he was polite with his words. Nothing offensive in his choice of words as well.

"Not about what you say, but because you challenge his dignity as Chief Administrator even though you are just a newbie. You are not the only one who disagrees with him, but did you see the other Senior Administrators openly challenge him like you did?"

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Then what? Will you agree to form such a hierarchy? If that happens, we will be at the bottom. They might even use us as bait. You might think I am just being a negative Nancy, but that might actually happen because they thought we are the weakest team in this 17th fort."

"Aren't we the weakest team?" Ira's human friend blurted out.

Tang Shaoyang just smiled at her and did not answer her, "Time to prove your usefulness, Ira. Guide me to the calamity!"

He was surprised by Ira's resourcefulness, in leading the team. They split the team into two, scouting the suspicious area on the Enchanted Chart. Ten minutes into the wild, they had fought three groups of calamity.

Two groups of Calamity Troll and one group of Calamity Orcs. They were equipped with proper gear, armor, and weapons. They looked like a patrol team, and that was why Ira split the team to scout the area.

Her human friends, Nayla and Lucia were sent to scout an area where The Calamity Orc might live. She then sent her tiger woman friend, Kiara, with Agnes to the area where The Calamity Troll might live. She suspected the two tribes were nearby and were in conflict.

The giant elephant beastmen were not good at scouting. That was why he stayed back with Ira and him. Tang Shaoyang learned his name was Renan.

Since this was his first time meeting an elephant beastmen, he kept looking at Renan. He was observing Renan from the head down to the skin. There were many things he wanted to ask, but he did not want to make things awkward between them with his weird questions.

"You make my friend uncomfortable, Captain," Ira could not stay silent anymore as her friend was getting closer and closer to her because of the gaze, "And you don't need to worry, Renan. He is a straight man, he likes women with big boobs."

He was surprised to hear that from Ira, "How do you know? You are quite attentive, hah? It seems like I made the right decision to get you on my team."

She rolled her eyes at Tang Shaoyang, "Do you think I don't know that you stare at my chest a lot?"

Tang Shaoyang was more surprised to hear that Ira. That was because he was not aware that he had been staring at her chest a lot, "Oh, really? But don't worry though. I will not use my position to force you into anything sexual."

"Okay, stop it. The conversation has become weird."

He rolled his eyes, "I don't mean to be offensive or anything. I want to assure you that will not happen. Not because you are ugly, but I already have wives. All of them are beauties and have big boobs."

The two cast a weird glance at him.

"Okay, let's change the topic," He then looked at Renan, "Did you make a bet with Renan back then? What did you get?"

He remembered the stupid bet during the first stage of the trial. He was still curious about what she got from the bet.

"They are here," Ira avoided answering the question. It was in time as Agnes and Kiara returned from their scouting.

"We are quite unlucky. It's not a tribe, but a colony," Kiara reported the grim news.

The number was not the only difference between a colony and a tribe. A tribe usually comprised one type of calamity. A tribe was one calamity in a big group. But a colony comprised more than one calamity species. It could be three or maybe four, or even maybe more than ten species.
