Armipotent

With more factions from Earth arriving on the eleventh floor, everything they had predicted came true. The World Government and The Uprising Guild brought the army of the Divine Church and The Federation of Allurion into Earth. The Tang Empire Intelligence Division (TEID) spotted The Uprising Guild bringing over a thousand army from the Federation of the Allurion into the Earth region and never left the region. Meanwhile, The World Government brought the two thousand Holy Knights with them.

Three thousand additional forces were not that much compared to their number. However, they suspected the three thousand were at least Epic Rank with the lowest ranks, Elite of the Elites. They must prepare to fight them.

Zhang Mengyao summoned everyone with authority into the meeting to inform them of her decision under Tang Shaoyang’s consent, “I have gotten His Majesty’s agreement that we will pull back from the Dimensional Tower except for the TEID’s members. They will stay here and watch their movement. We need to know the number they send into our world, and we will make sure to kill them all!” She glanced at Viona and Yeon Hee, the temporary head for TEID.

“Yes, Ma’am!” Both replied respectfully.

“We don’t surrender, and we haven’t lost the War. We just change the battlefield, and this time we will make sure they will know the consequences of opposing the Tang Empire,” Zhang Mengyao stood up from the chair, “The meeting is over. Get the things done here and return to our home.”

The people dispersed, leaving the room with a heavy atmosphere. It was another war for them, a war that would cost their people’s lives, and it was on a bigger scale this time. Because it was not just the two factions, but also the six factions of the World Government and also the Uprising Guild. It would involve hundreds of thousands of lives, the war that would change the Earth forever.

Zhang Mengyao remained in the room with Cao Jingyi, Kang Xue, Wei Xi, Yeon Hee, and Viona. She looked at Viona and Yeon Hee, “Warn the sub-region war is coming for them. We don’t need their help, but it will be better for them to join us at Capital. We can protect them from the incoming enemy.”

Before Viona and Yeon Hee could respond, Zhang Mengyao waved her hand, “Ah, I will tell them myself. I forget they are part of our factions. I will inform them through the Communication System.”

“Do you have any news from His Majesty?” Wei Xi could not hold back anymore and asked. He felt uneasy that they were in a big war without Tang Shaoyang. They had been fighting the zombie, a lot of hordes, losing many people. But he never felt uneasy like this.I think you should take a look at

Zhang Mengyao nodded, “he is on the fourteenth floor right now, slaughtering his way to the fifteenth floor. He can’t return right now because we need him to be strong enough to face the God Ranks. We will fight without him.”

“Do we really have to fight? Can we talk with them and resolve things peacefully like before?” Cao Jingyi opened her mouth, looking at Zhang Mengyao with worry in her eyes. The before in her mouth was the time before the Game started, when things could be resolved with a conversation at the table. It did not have to be a war.

Zhang Mengyao turned toward Cao Jingyi, “You speak as if we want war. Do you think I want this war? They believe this is the right time to strike The Tang Empire when His Majesty is dead, so tell me how are you going to persuade them not to attack us? Giving up our territory? Disband a faction and live under their rules?”

“I know you don’t like the way he rules. He is ruthless and crude, not hesitate to kill people, you can even say bloodthirsty. But remember the only time he became ruthless and unforgiving is when he tried to protect us, his people, the people who trusted him. He did that for his people, never for his hobby or personal interest. Have you seen what—” Zhang Mengyao stopped midway as Kang Xue held her hand, shaking at her, signaling her not to tell about what happened behind the man that always looked strong on the outside.

“No, Sister Jingyi needs to know. I don’t like it when she keeps questioning his decision, even has the nerve to call him cruel,” Zhang Mengyao looked at Cao Jingyi. She knew Cao Jingyi never agreed to Tang Shaoyang’s method, even calling him a monster along with the other people behind, “You have been one of us from the start. You are one of the founders of this empire. I respect you for everything you have done for the empire, but you call him a monster for executing the people who betrayed us. You call him a monster because he executed the rapist who raped our healers who keep our people’s alive. Don’t be shocked, Origin hears everything, and I know the people he protected with his life have been calling him a monster, not all, but not little, and you are one of those people.”

Wei Xi was shocked to hear that. He did not expect her wife to have been calling the Emperor a monster, and Cao Jingyi was also shocked that Zhang Mengyao found out.

“Did you know that he has been questioning himself, is he a monster for doing all of that? Not just one, but several occasions. Now you know,” Zhang Mengyao lost control of her emotions. She was at the edge knowing the Divine Church or the Federation of Allurion might already find the Earth’s location so their God Ranks could come. There were so many things in her head right now, “Now you know that he felt guilty for killing those people, but he did it anyway. For your, and the other people who have been calling him a monster.”

“Do you know one of his messages that I just received? He said he will be a monster to protect his empire and his people if needed. He is ready to be a monster, throwing away any conscience remaining in him to fight the God Ranks that might invade our home. I guess we will see a real monster once he returns.”
