177 Kang Zians Resolution (1/2)
”Then, it's okay as well if I make all of you stay as well, right?” He grinned at Lin Duan, ”Follow my order and stay inside, or I will make sure you will stay in the fort with my force,”
Lin Duan flinched as he subconsciously took a step back. Cold sweats trickled down from his forehead and also soaked his back. Even just looking at the man was already nerve-wracking, now he seemed to anger the man as well.
”Just stay here! We are not going to leave the fort!” Tian Donghai walked over and spoke to Lin Duan, ”Do you think we will leave the fort under your care?”
”Then why don't you involve us in your plan!?” Lin Duan looked away from Tang Shaoyang and faced the young Tian Donghai, ”Do you think we will bring a group that will not listen to our Leader's order into our plan? We may need your people, but we don't need two Leaders here!”
”Too much chatter, stay or we will make your stay by force. Choose!” Zhang Mengyao spoke up, increasing Lin Duan's pressure. His subordinates were cowering as they lowered their gazes to the ground. This was the second day they had witnessed how damn strong the Tang Empire was. They were not as valiant as the first time they met.
Lin Duan gritted his teeth, ”You swear that you are not going to leave the fort?” That was his concern, he was afraid they would be left behind, ”Are you deaf or something? Leaving the fort to you guys would be the same as abandoning the objective. If we want to do so, we could have just left from the first day, why would bother you to leave under your nose?” Lu An spoke up that caused Lin Duan to relent.
”Alright, if the next wave attacked and you guys haven't come back, we are going to abandon the fort!” Lin Duan spat those words out and left. His subordinates followed him.
'Just you wait, Tang Empire! Wait until everything is over, we are going to destroy you guys!' Lin Duan still believed his faction, Flame Castle was stronger than the Tang Empire.
At this moment, Wei Xi's group arrived. He bypassed the furious Lin Duan, he paid no attention to the guy as he walked toward his Boss, ”We are ready, Boss!”
Tang Shaoyang nodded and looked toward Kang Xue. She came alone without her brother. He walked toward her and asked, ”Where's your brother?” Kang Xue shook her head, ”He's staying behind, he can't leave sister-in-law and our parents alone without protection from us,”
He shook his head before nodding his head again, ”Get ready, then. We are going to leave soon,”

Kang Zian pushed the wooden door open. Inside was a simple room with a table and four chairs. The old couple was sitting on the chair when the sound of the door being opened resounded, Mu Liqiu glanced toward the door.
She smiled when saw her son and her daughter-in-law come in with food. The old lady stood up and helped her daughter-in-law bring the food, ”Where's Xue'er? Is she eating with her boyfriend?”
Kang Zian shook his head, ”No, let's sit first, Mom,” he brought the food to the table. His mother followed as she noticed her son had something to speak. After serving the food, only then Kang Jiayi raised his head. All this time, he had been lowering his head.
”Kang Xue is going to the southern forest to attack the Troll Village with the core team,” the core team was of course the Tang Empire. They should know about that by now.
