Chapter 1794 Three Emperors & Ten Kings

"Soares is dead!"

A solemn voice declared the death of the Battle King in a dimmed room. Thirteen individuals sat in a round table and everyone looked toward the voice. The news surprised them, and they finally realized that Soares was not late like usual, but he was dead.

Everyone was veiled with the void elemental power, their faces covered in black. But of course, they did not see their faces because they were all familiar with each other, The Three Emperors and The Eleven Kings of the Void Cult. With Soares' death, it became The Ten Kings now.

"He died during the attack toward the Hurakan Legion." An old male voice added.

"I know it. I told you guys not to let that buffoon guard the gate. He might be in the top three among us, but he is too reckless and arrogant." An angry male voice resounded. He was angry, not toward the people in the room with him or to Soares, but the person who killed Soares.

"Do you know who killed Soares?" The same voice asked.

"I don't know, and I think Soares was killed without being able to fight back. I would be able to see the remains of the fight for someone on Soares' level, but I didn't see any. There's no trace of the fight where he died. It's either Soares fell into the Hurakan Kingdom's trap, or The King of the Hurakan Kingdom came himself to kill Soares." The voice who announced Soares' death gave them his analysis when he went to the Void Gate.

"I don't think Luminar will ever fight outside his domain. Outside his domain, Luminar is nothing much. Soares also has seen Luminar's face once, and he would not be that stupid to stay outside if he saw Luminar coming over. It's not the king, and I don't think the Hurakan Legion can set up a trap if Soares doesn't wander from the gate."

Everyone looked toward the voice, Thomas Lysvand. No one knew more about The King of the Hurakan Kingdom than this man, the former Hurakan Legion Commander V. They trusted Thomas' judgment regarding the Luminar's power and crossed the name from the possibility of killing their comrade.

It was a big issue for them, the biggest issue in the last few hundred years for the Void Cult; they lost one of the kings for something insignificant. Soares did not die in the battle for their main cause, he died from guarding the Void Gate. It was a big loss with no gain.

"Do you know where he died?" Thomas Lysvand asked the person to his right, the person who gathered them for the meeting, The Genesis Emperor.

"I can't find his body, but I sense his presence last was below the Void Gate. That means it's unlikely that Soares is killed by a trap." The Genesis Emperor crossed the possibility Soares fell for the enemy trap.

"I can't find his body, but I sense his presence last was below the Void Gate. That means it's unlikely that Soares is killed by a trap." The Genesis Emperor crossed the possibility Soares fell for the enemy trap.

"It's an unknown variable..." The person to The Genesis Emperor's right, The Corrupted Immortal Emperor aka the former Executive Administrator muttered in a low voice. "I don't like an unknown variable when we almost succeed with your grand plan."

"Then let's get rid of this unknown variable before it gets worse or even disrupts our plan. Whoever killed Soares, that person, or maybe that group might be still in the Hurakan Legion's post. We can send five or even seven kings. That should be enough to get rid of this unknown variable, right?" The one who was angry earlier, Faceless King, suggested an idea. He took the chance to achieve his selfish desire, to avenge his friend.

The meeting continued for another three hours, discussing The Grand Plan.

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang sat on the observation post that had just been rebuilt after the battle. He volunteered to stay and keep a watch while the other returned to the city in turns. It was a watch post but was designed for a team to stay comfortably with a toilet, a bedroom, and even a kitchen.

Five days had passed since the attack, and there was no follow-up attack. There was nothing to do in this place. He wished that he was allowed to return when there was no attack, but per the agreement, he could only leave once a month for three days. This was his second week, meaning he had another two weeks before he could take his leave.

When he thought about his home, his daughter's face would resurface in his mind. He wondered what his daughter was doing for the day, what she ate, and so on.

"How are you guys defending this place for hundreds of years?" He could not help but ask Nikolas and Mathias.

The relationship between the two had improved in the last five days, and he had upgraded them to high Archaic Spirit with the void creatures' corpses gathered by the skeleton army as well. It was fortunate that the void creature corpses were enough to upgrade them to high Archaic Spirit. He even had a spare which was taken by the Skelly Family.

In his boredom, he increased the number of the skeleton army with his extra souls, from one thousand, he upped the number to five thousand. That just showed how bored he was.

[I will drink or visit the red district in the city. Back then I was still too young, so yeah the red district is my escape place.] Nikolas was not ashamed to admit that he often visited the brothel in front of his grandson.

[I will visit the fighter pit, fighting people who are desperate for money. I sometimes fight ten people in one fight!] Mathias answered.

The vengeful spirit was willing to cooperate after their initial disagreement to establish the contract. Meeting his grandfather helped him a lot to handle the anger within him. His grandfather would be by his side, calming him down.

Tang Shaoyang was not going to visit the brothel with Zara and Avyn with him. He believed that no women could match them in the brothel, and he did the deed in the last three days. He was alone here and took his chance that his team was leaving him to the city to have fun. In fact, Avyn and Zara were still sleeping inside his room.

The idea of visiting the fighter fit was interesting, but then he lost his interest in fighting immediately. "What's fun fighting weak people?"

[What about you fighting me then?] Mathias challenged Tang Shaoyang. He did not miss the chance.

"As I said, what's the point of fighting weak people? The moment you make a contract with me, all your skills are registered in my mind. I know the way you fight, and it would make it easy for me to beat you. And I don't think I can go all out lest you die and get weakened."

It was another boring and uneventful day for Tang Shaoyang.
