Chapter 1125 Allurion's Move
The remaining talk was smooth after clearing the misunderstanding. Chief Hulgem did not hesitate to agree since there was no requirement aside from what Dwarves loved to do, building things, and making things from metal and wood. They got paid for their work, protected, and given land for them to build their own home. Added a cherry on top, they could choose their land.
"The issue is… Can you get out of the tower?" Rosalie asked. She did not mention that in the early conversation. With everything done, she asked Chief Hulgem the most important thing.
It was known that the natives were trapped in the Dimensional Tower. They were the System's prisoners. She was afraid there might be a consequence for bringing them out of the tower.
"Of course, we can. The only problem for us to go out is the exit and only players who have the exit. Either we stay here forever, or we make a deal with a faction to get out of the tower. And now it seems I get a deal for my people," Chief Hulgem was smiling, happy with what he achieved. He finally could bring his people out of this cursed tower. For someone who spent his entire life in this damned tower, that was a big achievement for him as a Chief.
Tang Shaoyang nodded and tried to add Chief Hulgem to his faction. The System allowed the native of the tower to be part of his faction, and Chief Hulgem seemed to realize he had been added to the faction. His eyes widened, looking at the man that almost killed him. That was the first step for him to trust these people as he had become part of the Tang Empire officially right now.
"The next issue is how to escort you guys to the starter city," Tang Shaoyang muttered. His starter city was far from here. Escorting too many people would attract unwanted reactions. He was also not sure of the other factions' reaction to bringing the Dwarf native to his side.
"How many people do you have?"
Chief Hulgem fell silent for a moment, counting his people, "Around three hundred including the children."
Tang Shaoyang nodded, relieved inside that it was not a thousand or above. He opened up the Communication System, communicating with Zhang Mengyao. She was in charge while he was away, and she led the war against the Divine Church. He wanted to know the war situation. The last information he received was that his side was winning, a pleasant surprise as he did not expect them to have an advantage against the Divine Church. However, they could not underestimate the church with a big influence such as the Divine Church. For the time being, the war was in a stalemate. There was no movement from the Divine Church, fully sealing their gate from outsiders.
"There's no need about escorting them," Rosalie came over and whispered, "You can summon Bronson, Aerelion, and Galeon to escort them. If you are worried, you can add a few Grade S+ Spirit too. You can recall them back when they successfully delivered them to the city. Ah, also ask Greed to lead the way. If you feel that's not enough, you can also add The Skelly Family."
The issue was solved quickly, and there was no need for him to return to the city with such a line-up. He liked as well that Greed was the guide instead of Wrath. The Golden Dragon would attract a lot more attention, and it might incite the other two factions' greed that were not at war with them. It would be bad if the war turned into three against one. If they reached that point, they had to abandon the dimensional tower.
Tang Shaoyang nodded and met Chief Hulgem's eyes, "I will prepare the escort. It will take a few days or maybe a week. I will send you and your people after we clean up the lake."
"The lake? Are you talking about the Kraken's nest?" Chief Hulgem was aware of the lake and what was inside the lake. Far before they established their home in the mountain, he thought of making the base near the lake. However, he was terrified by his discovery and moved to this mountain.
Tang Shaoyang nodded, "We will clean the Kraken in a few days. After that, I will have my people escort you to the city for the portal."
Chief Hulgem nodded while deep inside, he was glad that they reached a compromise. If these people are confident to clean out the Kraken, they should not have an issue with cleaning up his people as well.

Starter City #4, Allurion Palace
Redvers Scovel read the report in his hand. It was the information about his rival, mostly about the Tang Empire and the Divine Church. Analyzing their force based on the ongoing war between the two factions. There was not much information about the Giteron Dynasty in the report.
"Did the Divine Church lose to the Tang Empire?" He had heard about it from his other subordinates, gossiping about how the Divine Church lost the fight. But he thought that was just a rumor until he read the report. The Tang Empire, the newbie faction, pushed the Divine Church to close its gate. There was no activity from the Divine Church for at least two weeks. The report also mentioned that the Tang Empire also pulled back its force.
Redvers Scovel clicked his tongue, "I hope the Divine Church will destroy the Tang Empire. That will reduce competition for the resource."
While this Ancient Rank was merely a battleground for The Federation of Allurion to train the soldiers. It was different for Redvers Scovel. This was his world's first tower, so he wanted to dominate the resource for his world. This tower was more than just a training ground. The main faction provided detailed information about the available resources and also the precious resource in the Ancient Rank Tower. He wanted them all for his people, that way his world's status would go up in the Federation of Allurion.
"Have you read the next sheet, Sir?" Redvers Scovel's secretary reminded him from the side. He just read the first two pages, the current progress of the war between The Tang Empire and the Divine Church.
"What's the rush? I will read it eventually," His mind was not on the report, but thinking of how to take advantage of the stalemate between the Tang Empire and the Divine Church.
