Chapter 474 Change of Plan
The atmosphere inside the room changed. Almost everyone had a gloom on their faces with a few exceptions. Wei Xi, Zhang Mengyao, Li Na, Kang Xue, Liang Suyin, Arina, and Selena. They remained calm despite the grave information.
Su Hong raised his hand, "Should we escape to a new territory so the Lionax Kingdom can't find us?" He expressed his thoughts. Battle was not their option, then escape was the only choice. He believed that no matter how strong their Lord was, they could not win against the Lionax Kingdom who had a solid force.
Zhang Mengyao looked toward Su Hong and everyone else followed, including Tang Shaoyang. Being stared at by many people, Su Hong slowly retracted his hand and lowered his head. He did not dare to meet with everyone's gazes that seemed to tell him he was a coward. It was just his thoughts as everyone thought differently.
"No, we will not run away!" Zhang Mengyao raised her voice, "We have one month time to prepare against the Lionax Kingdom! We can't delay because we have the Commander Knight on our side! So in this one month, we will drill our level as we expand our territory! That's for now, you guys can leave!"
The room broke into a murmur as the Captain discussed amongst themselves the potential danger. The Captains started to leave the room, leaving Tang Shaoyang and his women.
"Origin! Make sure no one can listen to my conversation with them!" Tang Shaoyang said to Origin as soon as everyone left the room.
[Yes, My Lord!] Origin's swift reply rang in the room.
Tang Shaoyang turned toward Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi, "I don't think we have a month," He told them the bad news.
He told them they had a month, but that one month with a condition, The Territory War Game was not over yet. They had to prolong the Territory War Game while sending the Tarriors to the next territory. It would be fortunate if they could participate in another Survival Game. Now the Bombyx Mori Tribe gave up on Zhejiang Territory, they won the game but they failed to buy time.
Tang Shaoyang just learned that the Dimensional Gate was blocked during the Territory War Game from Commander Ashley yesterday.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Mengyao asked.
"Because the Territory War Game has ended. The Dimensional Gate is blocked during the game so the Lionax Kingdom can't send anyone from the other side of the gate. Now the game is finished, the gate will work again. We don't have a month!" He explained to Wei Xi and the other girls.
"Then what should we do?" Wei Xi became worried after knowing they did not have a month.
"But I have a plan that could buy us more time, even more than one month," Tang Shaoyang's expression turned serious, "I will buy that time for you guys. I will bring the remaining Ashtera Legion to Lukan. I will create some chaos here and there so they will forget about the Dimensional Gate for the time being."
"This is too dangerous. We can still move to a new territory." Kang Xue voiced her opinion. Su Hong's idea was good. If they moved out from SH City and Zhejiang, they could escape from the Lionax Kingdom since they were not familiar with the Earth.
"But it can work well for me and the empire. There's even a chance that I can destroy the Lionax Kingdom." Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I am not going to leave my territory!"
"Hahhh…" a sigh escaped from Zhang Mengyao's mouth. She knew that once Tang Shaoyang would do it, he would do it. He was just that stubborn even though it could be dangerous for him.
"You will go alone?" Zhang Mengyao asked the man that earned stares from the other girls. The other girls did not agree to let Tang Shaoyang go to Lukan. This was too dangerous as he could lose his life.
"No, I will bring either Selena and Arina. Their ability to make oaths will be extremely useful for me," Tang Shaoyang smiled, "As for you guys, I will task you guys to protect the Empire while I am away. Keep expanding our territory and rescue more survivors!"
"I don't agree with the plan but I know that you will not listen to my words, My Lord," Wei Xi also let out a sigh. He wanted to volunteer to follow him but he knew that he would be a burden to his Lord, "However, I will wait for your return and if you want, I can help to choose a few exceptional wome-"
Wei Xi did not finish his words as Zhang Mengyao punched him on the belly. He immediately knelt in pain as his face turned red. The punch was the real deal, she was not holding back with the punch.
Wei Xi looked up at Zhang Mengyao with a disbelieving look plastered on his face, "Y-you punch me for real, General… Cough Cough… That was supposed to be a joke…" He looked down and muttered when Zhang Mengyao glared at him.
"When will you go?" Zhang Mengyao did not have time to joke around. This was something serious.
"Immediately! The Dimensional Gate was cut off for a few days. The Lionax Kingdom will investigate the cause very soon since their youngest Prince is involved in the expedition. I don't want them to find out that our world is a world that just undergoes the Game for a few months. If they find out, I am afraid that they will send a full force to conquer our world." Tang Shaoyang replied.
His concern was not groundless. From the information, this young Prince was pampered by his mother and also his big brother who was betrothed to Commander Ashley. The expedition was for the young Prince to gain experience in the battle.
"Wait, if they sent the spoiled Prince to gain experience, does that mean the King knows that the Dimensional Gate will lead to a weaker world?" He overlooked this. The others looked at each other. Most of them had not met Prince Kaiden, so they did not know what Prince Kaiden looked like.
"It seems I truly need to go as soon as possible," Tang Shaoyang decided.
