Armipotent

Chapter 1725  Duchy of Michalina

None of them dared to glance in the Tang Empire\'s direction. Fortunately, their section was not next to the Tang Empire. They had one in mind, revenge in the tournament.

The Emperor did not join the Earth Tournament, meaning they had a chance to beat the team from The Tang Empire. That was why they decided to stay and send a message to their leader about what happened.

"I told you not to make trouble, and you immediately caused trouble."

Even though Zhang Mengyao\'s voice was low, everyone in the whole dome heard her. Most of the people who attended recognized Zhang Mengyao.

"I don\'t want to, but these people don\'t know their places," Tang Shaoyang glanced at the people he just stepped, "Faith and Order? No wonder. They are a new faction. Should we investigate them? And maybe we should get rid of them before they become bigger and cause a bigger mess."

Hearing Tang Shaoyang\'s words, they flinched. They did not participate in the battle between The World Union and The Tang Empire. However, they knew the story. The World Union which comprised a few big factions back then was wiped out without being able to fight back. "Stop joking around," Zhang Mengyao shook her head.

Tang Shaoyang was not joking when he said to get rid of them. These people called the elves and the beastmen as heathens and cursed creatures. They clearly did not agree that the foreign races stood equal with them, humans. They would cause a little mess, and he would rather clean them now than fight them in the future.

Maras stroked his chest with his right hand. He was relieved that The Faith and Order ignored him now. But his heart was beating furiously, his back soaked in sweat, his hands were trembling, and his legs were shaking. That was because of The Emperor\'s aura.

Jaxon was no better. He was still in shock, looking up at Tang Shaoyang. Sensing the aura and being targeted by the aura was totally different. He was further away than Faith and Order, but he almost knelt on his own when he felt the aura.

"They are The Tang Empire! The one who makes them kneel is Emperor Tang Shaoyang. You will be fighting him if you attack Australia," Maras shook his head, "No offense, but I think he doesn\'t need to step up to fight a small faction like us."

"That means the System saves us from our demise with this event," Jaxon muttered.

If not for the Earth Tournament, they would attack the strongest faction on Earth unknowingly.

Jaxon looked up at the second floor in awe. Then his eyes fell on the women in Tang Shaoyang\'s surroundings. His eyes fell on the woman in red red hair.

Maras slapped the back of Jaxon\'s head, "Watch out with your gaze. I heard The Emperor had many wives, and they all might be his wives that you look at."

Jaxon broke into a cold sweat after hearing that. He immediately looked away to the entrance, and another appeared. Six sections on the second floor were empty, meaning six big factions had not arrived.

"I don\'t know about them, maybe they are from the Americas," Maras muttered as he followed the new group to the second floor. He would find out who they were since each section was named after the faction.

"Kingdom of Mecaya? They are not from Europe for sure."

Then the next big faction arrived, and Maras also did not recognize the emblem this group had. But then he sensed the atmosphere in the dome changed slightly when this group arrived. He even overheard something ridiculous such as the only faction that would rival The Tang Empire was this faction.

"The United Sovereign?"

"Are they from the Americas too?" Jaxon also overheard the discussion and could not help but ask. His guild leader was not here, so he needed to learn the power dynamic in this world. This might be their only chance to learn about the other factions.

"I don\'t know. I only knew three factions from the Americas. The Blue Vest, The First Order, and Amazon Guild. Maybe they changed their names after the war against The Tang Empire. Maybe they changed the name to avoid being targeted by The Tang Empire. I heard the Amazon Guild also participated in the war, not sure myself."

Maras looked at the empty sections, "I know the Kingdom of Napoles, The North Federation, and the Duchy of Michalina. They are based in Europe, but I don\'t know anything about The Pantheon."

"You are quite knowledgeable about them?" Jaxon honestly was surprised that a small faction would know a lot about the big factions.

"As I said, we small factions should help each other if we want to survive. All the small factions in Europe band together and form an alliance. We exchange information and help each other if any bigger faction tries to take our territories."

*** ***

Tang Shaoyang did not recognize most of the names on the second floor. He knew that The United Sovereign was formerly known as The First Order Guild. The Kingdom of Sand, The Africa Nation, Olympus, and The North Federation. He did not recognize the remaining factions on the second floor aside from those fives.

"The Polar Guild is no longer a VIP faction, huh?" He remembered The Polar Guild and was surprised not to see their name on the second floor.

"I guess the war against the Zombie Kingdom weakened them," Zhang Mengyao guessed.

"We have a lot of new faces, huh? I don\'t expect such a big change within a little over a year."

"They are not really new. The Amazon Guild is the founder of The Kingdom of Mecaya. Shiva Federation changed its name to The Pantheon. The Revolution Kingdom changed its name to The Whitney Kingdom. The Kingdom of Napoles, Duchy of Michalina, Faith and Order, and The Africa Nation are truly new in the big factions."

Li Shuang explained. While Tang Shaoyang might not care about the other factions. She had Lu An and TEID (Tang Empire Intelligence Division) gather intel about the factions from the other side of the world.

The last faction to arrive was the Duchy of Michalina. The group was led by a woman with blonde hair. She wore white and was followed by the red armored knight.

They went to the second floor and instead of going to their section, the woman led the group to The Tang Empire\'s section. The Duchy of Michalina\'s section was quite the opposite of the Tang Empire. People watched the situation with expectation.

The woman with blonde hair bowed her head slightly, "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Michalina."

Tang Shaoyang did not expect such a situation. He glanced at Zhang Mengyao and Li Shuang. How should he respond to them? He did not even know if The Tang Empire had any relation with the Duchy of Michalina or not.

"Nice to meet you too," He nodded in response.

Michalina smiled, "There\'s something I want to discuss with you, Your Majesty. Can you spare some of your time for me?"

The way she worded it was dubious. Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, and he did not need to ask his wives what to do, "I will think about it."

"I hope we can meet in a more private space because I can\'t say what I want to discuss here. Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

The Duchy of Michalina then headed toward their section. Their approach to The Tang Empire caused a stir. People wondered what the Duchy of Michalina wanted to talk about.

Tang Shaoyang activated the soundproof barrier in their section and asked, "Do we have any relationship with them?"

"No. We have an eye on them, but we never really make an official contact with them," Li Shuang answered.

As The Minister, she was also in charge of overseeing Foreign Affairs. The Duchy of Michalina never tried to make any contact with The Tang Empire.

"What do you think she wants to talk about?" Tang Shaoyang was curious. He learned that they had a little scheme or something.

Rosalie who sat behind Tang Shaoyang clicked her tongue, "Can\'t you see it? She wants to seduce you. She knew that you are quite a womanizer. Maybe she wants to bring her faction under The Tang Empire by marrying you. She has a decent look and a decent body too. She knows that she is your type, and it seems like she has done a little investigation about you too with how confident she is."

"Is that so?" Tang Shaoyang looked at Michalina. As Rosalie said, she was decent, but if she wanted to add another wife. He would not prioritize her on the list. He had seen someone prettier than her.

"You haven\'t even touched Lunea yet, and you already think of another woman," Rosalie was blunt with her words even when the others were around.
