BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1322 Proposal
Chapter 1322 Proposal
Zhang Mengyao handed the scroll back to Tang Shaoyang. It was the scroll of the academy proposal, and she pointed at the end of the scroll. There was something new on it, something she just wrote.
[They want to talk about the future of Earth. They wanted to know our objective after we obliterated The World Government.]
Tang Shaoyang nodded his head, the meeting was simpler than he thought. However, no one started the conversation. Olympus\' side was waiting for the bigger factions to start as they did not feel confident to start the conversation.
King Victor opened the conversation after no one spoke for a while, "We are here to ask your intention after you defeated the World Government. What will you do to the World Government\'s remnants, and what are you going to do with their territories? We want clarity from the Tang Empire to avoid future clashes."
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow for a moment. It was pretty obvious what the Revolution Kingdom wanted to do. They wanted to expand out of their island into Europe, with the World Government now gone. However, they did not want to clash with The Tang Empire.
"Do you have the same inquiry as Sir Victor?" He turned toward Herman, Yury Semenov, and Vaso Galliades.
Yury Semenov was the first one to respond, nodding his head, "The Polar Guild wants to submit the Vassal Proposal. We want to be The Tang Empire\'s vassals," He came up with a different proposal. Zhang Mengyao asked him why he wanted to meet, and he had the same intention as the Revolution Kingdom, wanting to take this chance to expand his faction. However, he changed his mind after such a short time. He remembered the battle of the giants in his territory. He was informed that the five-headed dragon was Tang Shaoyang, and that was what changed his mind. It was not that bad working under someone like Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard because The Polar Guild was one of the top eleven factions, The VIP Faction. He was surprised that they wanted to be his vassal, and it was totally different than the words he just read. He glanced at Zhang Mengyao before looking at Li Shuang.
[He did not tell me anything about becoming a vassal, but the decision is yours whether you want to accept The Polar Guild to be our vassal or not.]
Zhang Mengyao sent a message through The Communication System. She was caught off guard as well that the Polar Guild proposed to be the vassal. The Polar Guild was placed on the same level as The Tang Empire with their VIP status, gaining access to the Dimensional Tower through the portal.
"That\'s not something I can answer right away. I have to talk it out with my people before accepting your proposal," Tang Shaoyang did not accept the proposal. He wanted to keep at least ten factions on Earth to trigger the System Event when they entered the third phase or the last phase of The Game. Utilizing the maximum benefit from the System.
His answer surprised the guests. Herman Bonivido and Vaso Galliades were stunned by Yury Semenov\'s proposal. Even though they did not admit it openly, it was a fact that The Tang Empire was the strongest faction on Earth. The Tang Empire could easily take over Earth, and that was the main reason Herman and Victor Brent Whitney came to meet Tang Shaoyang.
They wanted to know the Tang Empire\'s intention after the war. If it was to conquer the whole Earth, they would not fight and surrender, but they did not show what in their thoughts, keeping it hidden until found out the Tang Empire\'s goal after the war. What surprised them even more was that Tang Shaoyang did not accept the proposal right on the spot. That would seal the fate of the other factions if The Polar Guild was accepted into the Tang Empire\'s proposal. It would be impossible for the other factions to gather up and form an alliance to fight the Tang Empire if worse comes to worst.
"What about you?" Tang Shaoyang asked The First Order Guild and Olympus. He just wanted everything to be over soon.
"I am here to inquire what will you do about The Saint Guild\'s and The Blue Vest Guild\'s territories? They are now unguarded, and it seems the zombies are running wild with no people guarding the territory. Are you going to claim their territories? If you are not going to claim their territories, then we have to take it over to control the zombies," Herman answered. It was a lame excuse using the zombies, but logical. At this point in time, the zombie was pretty much weaker than them unless it was an abandoned territory.
Tang Shaoyang nodded and proceeded to Vaso Galliades.
"We have the same issue, but we also want to ask about the remnants of the World Government. There are a lot of refugees migrating to our territory. We don\'t want to offend the Tang Empire in any way, so what\'s The Tang Empire\'s intention for these people? If you are going to capture and kill them, then we will hand over these people to you," Olympus drew the line immediately, revealing their intention that they did not want to be The Tang Empire\'s enemy.
They might not be able to witness the battle, but they saw what happened in the sky. Whatever came out from the sky, the Tang Empire killed them all and won the war. They would not make the same stupid decision as The World Government to fight the Tang Empire on their initiative.
Tang Shaoyang nodded once more. All of them came with the same goal, wanting to know what would The Tang Empire do to the World Government\'s remnants and territories.
"You will know what I will do to the World Government\'s remnant if you all attend the public execution, but I don\'t mind telling you right now since you have come to meet me," He just wanted to be done with the meeting, "We will no longer expanding our territories than what we have right now, and we hold no grudge or accountable to the people below. We don\'t care if they want to disband or quit their factions, or even join your factions. We don\'t care about those territories, and the public execution of the World Government\'s leaders is the end of the conflict between The Tang Empire and The World Government!"
Tang Shaoyang leaked his aura a little bit, adding more tension in the room, "Unless The World Government\'s remnant is still thinking of fighting me, then we will destroy them. So…." He turned toward Vaso Galliades, "We don\'t care about those people, whether you want to take them in or kill them. It\'s not The Tang Empire\'s problem!"
Victor Brent Whitney was relieved to hear that from Tang Shaoyang. Even though he could not really trust the words, there was no way he asked Tang Shaoyang to make a contract for that.
\'There\'s no reason for him to lie to us, right? He can wipe us if he wants to, so why would he lie?\' That was what was in his mind. With the thought in his head, he felt like a big chunk of weight was relieved from his chest. He was stressed out and under pressure after knowing that the World Government brought the factions from another world. Hearing that from Tang Shaoyang\'s mouth directly eased his uneasiness and stress.
During the fight and war, The Revolution Kingdom stayed in their own territories, locking themselves from the battle, hoping no one would cross the water to get to their territory. He did not want to get caught in such a large-scale battle. They passed the first wave of the battle, and now he was quite relieved that Tang Shaoyang revealed The Tang Empire\'s intention not to take over the world.
"Is that answering your question? Do you have anything you want to talk more about?" Tang Shaoyang asked.
Victor Brent Whitney and his Advisor, Raymond Irving, prepared a lot before meeting Tang Shaoyang. They wanted to try to dissuade Tang Shaoyang with their words from taking over Earth. But it was useless now because The Tang Empire had revealed that they had no intention of taking over The World. Both were at a loss as they did not know how they should continue the talk while Herman and Vaso Galliades looked relieved after receiving the confirmation.
While Victor Brent Whitney did not completely trust the words, Herman and Vaso trusted Tang Shaoyang. They believed that there was no reason for the Tang Empire to lie when The Tang Empire could run over them easily.
Vaso Galliades was especially relieved because the fall of the World Government was a chance for his faction to rise up. The people who ran into his territory were a big part, and another big chance was the unoccupied territories. If The Tang Empire said that they wanted to conquer the Earth, then Vaso Galliades would gladly surrender. He was not going to take his chance against the Tang Empire. That was the lesson he learned for sure after the World Government was destroyed.
"I don\'t have any more questions for you, Sir Tang," Vaso Galliades bowed his head in gratitude that the Tang Empire was not planning to devour everything. He had no more discussion to talk about with that. He thought that the Tang Empire was planning to conquer the Earth, and if that was the case, then he needed to discuss the best terms to surrender for himself and his people.
Herman scanned the others in the room, and his eyes lasted a bit longer on Yury Semenov. There was a hesitation in his expression. He was considering whether he should surrender just like the Polar Guild. At this point, he felt so safe under the Tang Empire\'s banner, and that was the best for his people. However, he had to put aside his ambition to do that, and he was unwilling to put off his ambition like this.
"The First Order Guild has no more to talk with you, Sir Tang. We are grateful that you are willing to give your precious time to talk with us," Herman bowed his head.
Tang Shaoyang turned toward The Revolution Kingdom\'s King.
"We are grateful for your time, Sir Tang Shaoyang," Victor Brent Whitney had nothing to talk about since The Tang Empire gave up on conquering the World Government\'s territories. There was no need for them to continue the talk anymore with that. The meeting concluded with an unexpected result as he thought he would really need to negotiate many things with the Tang Empire.
Tang Shaoyang then turned toward Yury Semenov, "I have come to a decision about your proposal," He shook his head, "I can\'t accept The Polar Guild to be our vassal."
