135 Last For (1/2)

Using their hand-like mace, the two zombies would crush the steel gate before attacking the fortress. To everyone's surprise, the two Maces combined only needed twenty strikes in total to break the seemingly sturdy steel gate.

Thanks to Yu Shun, the day he joined them was the day they conquered all seven fortresses. They finished the side objective in three days, taking all the rewards by themselves.

Kang Jiayi's view of the new world has turned upside down. He had carefully watched this group, and he realized the severity of the government's absence to fight the disaster. If the government did not manage these people soon, establishing an empire was truly no longer a pipe of a dream.

But if what Tang Shaoyang said was the truth that his beloved country had fallen, he had to think of a way to revive his fallen country. The country might have fallen but his spirit as a soldier and his love toward the country was deep-rooted in his heart.

However, he found something that hard to believe. His family, after days, joined the group, his family started to see this and Tang Shaoyang in a new light. Especially his son and his wife, Kang Zian had put all his heart to catch with the others from the Tarriors. His wife, Mu Liqiu agreed to his son-in-law to have more than one wife after his daughter stuffed her with the Empire thingy. His wife now believed that the Tang Empire was her new home.

The old man did not know what his daughter fed to his wife, but if he truly wanted to revive the country, his family was bound to not support him. At least, that was what he felt from their changes.

Kang Jiang was in a tough spot, the country he loved and his deeply loved family. He was bound to choose, 'You are already too old for this, better to retire and enjoy what you have now,'

”Hahhhh…” the old man released a long sigh as he remembered his son's words.

—Father, the name of a nation does not matter but the people are! What's the difference between the old country and the Tang Empire while they protected the same people? The Tang Empire's people are the old country's people who survived the disaster! The old country's revival or the Tang Empire thriving holds the same meaning for me! As long as they don't abuse their power, I will follow their path to survival.

His son's words rang in his head. It was what his son said to him after he woke up from his coma. He tried to persuade him to not take any part in the battle but his son insisted. The old man did not know what entered his son's head to suddenly change like that.

'Maybe I should help them,' the old man started to have a change of mind. He was talking about the military administration since these people were just civilians before he could share his knowledge about the military with them to establish a proper military division.

The following day, Tang Shaoyang led his people toward the direction they believed where the Berserker King was. So far, they had guessed correctly behind the theory of the heptagon fortress that led them to a big victory within three days.

It only took two hours of the careful journey for them to prove the theory was correct. In the center of the heptagon fortress, a big fort that three times bigger than a normal fortress stood up.

The frustration was that Tang Shaoyang could not use the rope climbing tactic for the surprise attack or destroying the gate just like what they did before. On top of that, there was an Orc General on each side gate, overseeing the defense along with Orc Guard.

”Let's climb the wall, Boss! We will open the gate just like we did to capture the first fortress,” Lu An shared his idea to enter the last fort.

”We can try that, we will make our move at night,” since they only had one Concealment Cloak, making a move now would make them the target to the orcs.

The sun was down as two moons appeared in the sky. The moon had a different color, one was red and the other one was just like a normal moon on Earth.

Tang Shaoyang led his people to the last fort. 68 people including him decided to attack the south gate. They could not afford to split up with their number so they focused their attack on one gate.
