1634  Yet Another Fool (1)

There was nothing Herman could do unless Tang Shaoyang did not want them. However, the chance for Tang Shaoyang to refuse their allegiance was lower than one percent.

”Then get ready to leave. I will have my people to arrange your new home.”

The Tang Empire had many territories. He could accommodate even one million people, let alone a little over twenty thousand. He went over to Herman, ”We will leave immediately. Thank you for your invitation, Herman.”

Herman wanted to be shameless to get the Kingdom of Ariotʼs people to join The United Sovereign. He could bring up the promise about the reward. However, Queen Cecilia chose the Tang Empire instead. Even if he wanted to be shameless, he could not gain their loyalty.

He and Frans accompanied Tang Shaoyang to the portal gate. His guests were leaving. Although disappointed, he got many Treasure Chests, one of them being Primordial Treasure Chest. He cheered himself with those rewards. One Primordial Treasure Chest, four Myth Treasure Chest, and more than ten Epic Treasure Chests. That was a comfort for him as he watched his guests leave.

”Donʼt be so disappointed, Sir. Those rewards are not ours in the first place. We can clear the Hell Difficulty in the Demi-God Dungeon because of Sir Tang Shaoyang in the first place. Letʼs take it slowly and utilize the rewards well so we will be ready for the next Demi-God Dungeon.”

The General Advisor, Frans comforted the King. He was telling the truth. Without Tang Shaoyang, they would not have chosen the Hell Difficulty. If they did not select the Hell Difficulty, they would not know that they could free people from the dungeon. That information itself was as important as the Hell Difficultyʼs experience.

Herman smiled, ”You do really know how to comfort me, Frans. They are indeed not ours.”

That made him feel better. His Advisor reminded him of the positive things from clearing the Demi-God Dungeon. Taking a deep breath, his expression was dignified, and he turned around with greater determination.

”You told me not to use The Tang Empire as the comparison, but you are wrong for that, Frans! If we want to get stronger than we are now, we must use The Tang Empire as the standard! Thereʼs a World Congress in two months for the next Dimensional Tower. Our target will be climbing to the twenty-fifth floor, clearing the current dimension before the next one!”

Tang Shaoyang returned to his home. He called over Li Shuang to arrange the people from the Kingdom of Ariot. Then he called more people with him for the next Demi-God Dungeon. The Africa Nation did not limit how many people he could bring. He called seven more people.

Moonsong from the Moonlight Tribe, Alissa from the Elven Kingdom, Lycasian Tribe of the Lycanthrope sent Denzo, Zhao Zhong, and Qin Shoushan from the Dungeon Division, Liang Suyin, and Aleesa. He wanted Aleesa on the team so it would be less awkward between him and Alissa.

Those sevens were the additional for the Demi-God Dungeon in The Africa Nationʼs territory. He chose them so they could lead the party to clear a Demi-God Dungeon in the Tang Empireʼs territory.

They departed to The Africa Nation, and Tang Shaoyang got a different welcome than when he came to The United Sovereign. The difference was like Sky and Earth. Two rows of beauties lined up, bowing at him and welcoming him in tune.

”Welcome to The Africa Nation, Honored Guests from The Tang Empire!”

Even though Zhang Mengyao did not inform The Africa Nation who was coming, the first president of Africa Nation came to greet the guest directly.

Gaius Barbarossa was accompanied by the highest-ranking officer in their military, Tadala Limbani. The Africa Nation was considered weaker than The United Sovereign based on their Demi-God Rank numbers. The Africa Nation only had seven Demi-God Ranks including The President and their five-star Admiral.

Gaius Barbarossa was surprised when he spotted Tang Shaoyang, leading the party from the portal gate. He did not know and did not expect The Emperor would come by himself to lend them an aid. He picked up his pace and reminded his highest-rank officer to watch his manner in front of The Emperor.

”Welcome to my humble nation, Emperor Tang Shaoyang. We are very grateful that you are willing to assist us! For now, we have prepared a small banquet for you. If I know you will come, I will prepare something bigger and better.”

Tang Shaoyang reached the manʼs hand and shook his head, ”This is much better welcome than The United Sovereign already. Letʼs not waste our time with the banquet and get straight to the job.”

He told President Gaius about his trip to The United Sovereign and brought up the topic of clearing the Demi-God Dungeon. That was when he brought up the deal, sharing the information about the dungeon.

The African Nation set up the portal office next to the Presidentʼs office. It did not take long for them to arrive at the room where this small banquet was. On the way here, Gaius agreed to share the information about the dungeon. He also agreed to Tang Shaoyangʼs condition where he would take the lead in the dungeon.

The Demi-God Dungeon in the Africa Nation was different from the one in The United Sovereign. The dungeon in here had thirty players maximum, ten more than the one in The United Sovereign. It could mean two things. The dungeon would be easier since it allowed more players to enter the dungeon. Or it could be a more dangerous dungeon.

Since The Africa Nation only had seven Demi-God Ranks. Gaius also invited The Kingdom of Sand as well or formerly known as The Uprising Guild. The Kingdom of Sand had eight Demi-God Ranks, and they arrived earlier.

The Africa Nation and The Kingdom of Sand were currently in a truce. The Kingdom of Sand agreed with the truce because of the threat from Europe. They could not afford to split their attention to the south and also Europe. That was why The Kingdom of Sand agreed with the truce proposed by The Africa Nation.
