Chapter 1206 Can Be Good, Can Be bad - Part 2
The small meeting was held at Zhang Mengyao's office, and she told them what happened.
Wei Xi tapped his forehead the moment he heard another faction arrive. The timing was just not good for the other factions to come.
"This is bad for us," Wei Xi said, "I am afraid our enemy will use the other factions to get into us. What's worse if they brought the war back to Earth."
"How bad is our relationship with the Uprising Guild?" Marshal Alton asked.
"We have a neutral relationship with them. We had a brief exchange with them but that was it. They are also not part of the World Government," Zhang Mengyao answered, "But they might side with The Federation of Allurion if they are offered something they could not refuse."
"But do we really care about the other factions from Earth? They are quite weak, no?" Moonsong sounded arrogant, but that was the truth. In terms of battle power, the Tang Empire was far above the other factions from Earth. It was proven how they managed to hold against the two factions from the advanced world, even though what they faced was just a small force.
"That's not the issue. The federation or the church can give their people to join the other factions, and they can bring the war back to Earth. The World Government will be glad to be the federation's lackey just to destroy us," Wei Xi elaborated more on the core issue, "If The Uprising Guild is here, that means the other factions will reach here soon enough."
"Should we change our focus?" Marshal Alton looked at Zhang Mengyao, "What if we focus our force back to Earth and conquer all the territories. We will destroy the other factions before they can trouble us. It's not like we can get any resources in this dimensional tower with The Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church keeping us busy with their minions."
That was the realistic focus and also more feasible than defeating The Divine Church and the Federation of Allurion.
"I agree with that. The Empire has the Beast Coven, Tarrior, and the Elven Kingdom. We can march three different directions and still win the fight," Moonsong was confident with their chance of conquering the Earth, total domination over Earth before thinking of defeating the other factions.
Wei Xi seemed to agree with the proposal too while Kang Xue had no better idea in her mind.
"That…" Zhang Mengyao's eyes twitched a little. That was a big decision, too big of a responsibility for her to make the decision by herself, "That will be our last option. I need to consult His Majesty first to make such a decision. Let's keep an eye on the Uprising Guild for the moment."
Yeon Hee entered the office after knocking on the door, "The Uprising Guild's Guild Leader wants to meet His Majesty."
The five people looked at each other for a moment before nodding their heads, "Lead him here."
*** ***
Zander came with his trusted subordinates to meet Tang Shaoyang. He wanted to ask for information about the eleventh floor. After exploring the area a little bit, he realized this floor might be different from the previous ten floors. He wished the Tang Empire was willing to share the information.
Zander and his two trusted subordinates followed the woman in uniform, leading them to a room. Five people were waiting for them inside, two women, two men, and one beast person. He frowned because the woman was seated in the middle. From the look of it, the woman was the one in charge here.
Igmar whispered to his leader, "Maintain your expression, Boss. She is the second person in the Tang Empire. We are here to ask for information, remember."
Zander took a deep breath before nodding his head, calming his head as he took the seat.
"Welcome, Sir Zander. It seems you haven't been informed that our leader has passed. I am currently taking the temporary leader seat for the Tang Empire until we choose the next Emperor," Zhang Mengyao told the Uprising Guild.
There was a reason for her to tell Zander the news, it was to find out the Uprising Guild's stance. Of course, it was also to convince the Divine Church and the Federation of Allurion that Tang Shaoyang was really dead. It was to ensure that no one knew that Tang Shaoyang was still alive.
Zander, Igmar, and Upenda were shocked by the news. They had witnessed how strong that person was in the Earth Tournament. The three exchanged glances, still in disbelief.
"He fought the God Ranks of the Divine Church and was killed in the battle."
Igmar was the first one to respond, bowing his head slightly, "We are very sorry for your loss."
"So, why do you want to meet me, Sir Zander?"
"We wish to ask for general information about the eleventh floor. We are currently at a loss," Igmar did the talk while Zander kept his silence the entire time. Zhang Mengyao did not mind sharing information about the starter city and how things worked on this floor. It was not such a big deal as they would find out sooner or later.
After ten minutes, the Uprising Guild left the building. Marshal Alton, Vice Marshal Moonsong, Wei Xi, and Kang Xue returned to their seats.
"Tch, it seems it's really bad news with the other factions arriving here. They will take this chance to take us down," Wei Xi clicked his tongue, "I can see Zander guy's desire to conquer us the moment he heard about His Majesty's fake death."
"So, can we consider The Uprising Guild as the enemy? I think they will try to make a move on us soon enough," Moonsong agreed with Wei Xi. He could see the heat in Zander's eyes when he looked at them.
"His Majesty just informed me an hour ago that he has reached the thirteenth floor. He might be a little bit busy, but I have messaged him to call me once he has the chance, and I will talk this out with His Majesty for our future movement. I will call you again once I get His Majesty's decision. The meeting is over for now."
