chapter 1770 commander edson
after finding out the distance between the city and the frontier, they had to take the train. tang shaoyang thought it would take at least a few hours to reach the frontier. he thought it was better to fly, but he was wrong. it took the train less than ten minutes to reach the frontier.
when he heard frontier, he thought it was a fort for an army which was usually not that big. he thought it was smaller even to the arnoit city. to his surprise, the fort was ten times bigger than the city.
the frontier was in a "t" shape, but the head was longer and the leg was much shorter. that was how the frontier was shaped, and it was built to match up the one-hundred-meter-tall wall in the head side.
the train did not stop at a station like they were in arnoit city. it was an open field and there was a booth next to each carriage except for where captain barome and his subordinates were.
tang shaoyang came down following captain barome. a man in the same uniform approached captain barome. as they talked, he looked at the other carriages. the mercenary immediately went to the booth. from his sharp hearing, he could hear what they talked about. it was about registering to participate in the void gate defense.
"palmas doesn't need to risk his life anymore because he already has everything, but it's different for these people. they come here to get rich or if they are lucky, the hurakan kingdom will note them and recruit them into the legions."
atilla came next to him. she heard what tang shaoyang said before departing.
"or to escape from their enemies. the big faction and alliance don't have the courage to extend their hands here. no one dares to mess with the hurakan kingdom, even the ancient kingdom or even the god alliance. even those people from the dragon realm will not act unruly here." ira added.
the hurakan kingdom was a new name in tang shaoyang's ears. he never heard of them before, especially for a kingdom this strong. it was weird that he never heard of their name before.
they followed barome to the third floor where commander edson was. a man with white short hair was sitting behind the table and came into sight as the door opened. he had the appearance of someone in his mid-forties with a white beard. his eyes were on the door as if he expected them to come.
barome motioned his hand to them to enter as he rushed toward the white-haired man, "they are from the administrator space for the draft call, sir."
a slight frown formed on the man's forehead. he scanned the six people once more, and the frown deepened.
"who are they? we are expecting an executive administrator."
barome did not answer it immediately as he glanced at atilla. he expected the other party to explain it as they knew more of the inside story than him. atilla picked up the clue and took one step forward.
"my name is atilla from kalisto, sir. unfortunately, sir palmas died in an accident and could not answer the draft call. the executive administrators came to a decision to send us as sir palmas' replacement."
hearing the story, the frown on the man's forehead deepened. it was much worse news than hearing palmas dodged the draft call. for an executive administrator to die, it meant the void cult got them. that was the only possibility for an executive administrator to die. no one was stupid enough to fight an executive administrator as it was the same as challenging all administrators. that was why he came to this conclusion, palmas was killed by the void cult.
'kalisto... kalisto... kalisto...'
he remembered the names, of the top teams from the administrator space. if they sent three top teams, then it was the same as sending an executive administrator.
"the leader in this mission is the reds team, and he is the captain of the team, tang shaoyang." atilla then gestured toward michael, "and he is michael, chalice's captain."
