Chapter 1220 Herman's Proposal
The bad news was The World Union and Saint Guild were invited by the Divine Church and also the Federation of Allurion. It was something they expected to happen, and it came true. Another could-be-bad news was The Giteron Dynasty sent another representative to meet Zhang Mengyao. The Giteron Dynasty had sent the first two envoys to meet Zhang Mengyao which ended up the envoys being kicked out disrespectfully. The first two envoys asked to be compensated for Arnor Ollson's humiliation experience. Zhang Mengyao was not in the mood to play the stupid game with the Giteron Dynasty and immediately kicked the envoy out.
"Did not I tell you not to accept any nonsense envoy from the Giteron Dynasty?" Zhang Mengyao had enough of the Giteron Dynasty's antics, openly showing her disgust in her expression.
"If it's the same envoy. We will not let him in, but the one who comes is Reinar Thamsen. He is Augusto Thamsen's son, and he may have something important to talk about with you, Ma'am," Viona replied respectfully. Outside the office, both were sisters, but this was an official meeting. She acted professionally in the official business.
"And we have another guest. Herman Bonivido of the First Order Guild also comes to meet you. He did not tell us why he came and only wanted to talk with you," Yeon Hee followed up with another piece of information. Three guests came to meet the person in charge of the Tang Empire.
"Lead Herman to the meeting room. I will see him first," Zhang Mengyao got up from the seat, stretching out. She had been sitting on the chair far too long, "This sounds crazy, but I miss the day we fought the Divine Church. That's much easier than the paperwork and the diplomatic work."
"I have to agree with you on that matter. The suspense is killing me," Kang Xue nodded in agreement. Not knowing what would come for them in the future was scarier than fighting the Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church at the same time."

Herman Bonivido came to the Tang Empire's base with his two Vice Guild Leaders, Henry, and Frans. It did not take long for them to learn of the death of The Emperor. The Uprising Guild called him and the other two Guild Leaders, proposing an idea to create an alliance to fight the Tang Empire. This was the best time to strike the Tang Empire.
The violet-haired lady led them to the room, the room where three girls and an old man were. He recognized the three women, but not the old man.
Herman, Frans, and Henry were led to their chairs, facing the Supreme General of the Tang Empire.
"Good evening, Guild Leader Herman," Zhang Mengyao was the first one to speak, "I heard you want to meet me. May I know what you wish to say to me?" Polite and toneless, revealing no emotion in her words.
"Good evening, Ma'am. I will be direct with my visit. We come for two things. First, we want to confirm the rumor of The Emperor's death. Second, we come to warn you about the threat you may face in the future," Herman had a solemn look. He knew that the Supreme General and the woman to the left were The Emperor's wives.
The fact they showed no more sorrow might be because the rumor was false or the Emperor had died a long time ago before they arrived.
"It's not a rumor. His Majesty died, killed by the Divine Church's God Ranks. Three God Ranks of the Divine Church forcefully entered the tower and killed him in a fight," Zhang Mengyao replied fast, confirming the news.
Herman, Frans, and Henry acted like gentlemen, standing up and putting their right hand on the chest before bowing slightly, "Deepest condolences to you all for your loss."
Zhang Mengyao nodded, "May I know what you want to warn us about, Guild Master Herman?"
Herman returned to his seat, nodding his head, "The Uprising Guild's Guild Leader, Zander, came to me to propose an alliance to oppose the Tang Empire. I come to warn you to be careful of them. They might strike you back on Earth."
"Thank you for the warning, Guild Leader Herman. We expect that to happen with our current, but thank you for the heads up," Zhang Mengyao nodded, "If you don't have anything else, I have to meet someone else—"
Bam!
Henry slammed the table, raising his voice while pointing his finger at Zhang Mengyao, "The nerve! The disrespect! We come here with good intentions, yet you dare to treat us like this!?"
"Boy!" Marshal Alton turned his head toward Henry, "If this is outside the city, you already lost your hand for pointing your finger at the Supreme Commander of the Tang Empire!"
Henry met with Marshal Alton's eyes, and he could subconsciously take three steps back. The sound of the chair screeching resounded in the room as his legs bumped into the chair. His heartbeat quickened up as he felt suffocated. It was just a stare, but that was enough for him to know that the old man was monstrous.
Frans, who looked much older than the young Henry, stood up, approaching Henry before forcing the younger man to bow with him together, "I am very sorry for Henry's rude behavior. He's still young and quite hot-blooded. I hope Supreme Commander Zhang can forgive him."
"It's fine, but I don't understand what he meant by "treat us like this"?" Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "That's enough Marshal Alton, you are scaring our guest."
"There's no need to explain too," Zhang Mengyao waved her hand, "Let's forget the unpleasant thing. If you don't have anything else, I will have to leave to meet someone. You can stay and enjoy our hospitality if you want to." She got up from the chair and was about to walk away. However, Herman called her out, "Wait a moment, Commander Zhang. I have another proposal for you."
Zhang Mengyao halted her steps and looked at Herman Bonivido. She nodded her head, indicating for him to go on.
"What about forming an Alliance with The First Order Guild? We will help you fight the Uprising Guild and the World Government!"
