Chapter 370 - Invitation

Inside the meeting room, a man with leather armor stood across Tang Shaoyang. Tang Shaoyang could tell that the armor was bought from the General Store. This was confirming his conjecture about the base's existence in the SZ City.

"Major General Shi Yan invited me to the SZ City Establishment?" He repeated what the messenger told him.

"Yes. Major General Shi Yan wanted to invite you to talk about Jiaxing and Huzhou city's subjugation. We are willing to work together with you and your army to wipe out the zombies in those two cities," The Messenger nodded his head.

Tang Shaoyang was surprised inside, this turned into something he did not expect. He thought the messenger would send a warning about war or something.

He was not expecting the opposite party would ask his force to work together.

Zhang Mengyao glanced at Tang Shaoyang with a concerned look. No matter how she looked at it, the proposal of working together was suspicious. Especially after they refused to hand over the base.

—There's no reason for you to accept the invitation, we should do it by ourselves. Don't share the reward with them. Also, this might be a trap.

Zowen shares the same sentiment as Zhang Mengyao. This was obviously a trap.

"Hmmm," Tang Shaoyang tapped the table with his index finger. It was unknown what he thought of. As for the messenger, he was calmly standing there.

'Tsk, that Yan Kui is exaggerating his report. Where's the monster? There's a beauty though…' his eyes kept glancing at Zhang Mengyao. The loose Tarrior uniform, red and black uniform could not hide her hot figure.

"What about tomorrow? I will meet with Major General Shi Yan tomorrow for further talk," Tang Shaoyang agreed to the invitation, "You can go back and inform Major General Shi Yan," he sent the messenger away with a smile. ????????????????e????????. ????????????

The messenger nodded his head and left the room under a Tarrior's guidance. As soon as the messenger left the room, Zhang Mengyao immediately questioned Tang Shaoyang, "Why? That may be a trap for you!"

"If it is a trap, then it's also good," Tang Shaoyang was impatient to get rid of a faction that could be a threat to his empire in the future. SH City was a strategic city in his eyes.

To the west and the south of SH City was water, he did not need to worry about the unknown force that came from those two sides. He could focus his force to the north and the east for the expansion.

Jiaxing, that was his next target after knowing SZ City was under someone else's control. Another reason for him to prioritize Jiaxing was that the city was famous for its silk production. He wanted to use the land for his farm project. The city was more suitable than the SH City for the project.

"Why? We are doing good now, why would we need to fight against them?" Zhang Mengyao did not understand her man's train of thought.

"Oh girl, do you forget my ambition? I want to establish an empire, one city is not enough, and they are on my way to expand my territory. I don't want any other force near my main base whether they are friendly or neutral," Tang Shaoyang shook his head as he walked toward the side and looked down on the square.

He saw the messenger was getting escorted out of the building, "The war is inevitable, but it's better if we strike them first since they are still weak."

Tang Shaoyang was confident to win, but he needed a legitimate reason to start a war. He did not want to lose the people's support from the mindless slaughter.

Zhang Mengyao let out a sigh and came next to him, "Should I prepare the others to get ready? If the invitation is a trap for you, we have to get our men ready for the battle."

"There's no need. If the meeting is a trap, I will be meeting their strongest force. I will wipe them out and conquer the base by myself," Tang Shaoyang was so confident. Not because of his high level, but also because of his bloodline, second class, and also spirit avatars.

He was alone, but not alone at the same time. After the last meeting with Yan Kui, he also believed he was far ahead of them in terms of power.

"Have Pride and Kairu back from their task? What's the situation in Jiaxing?" Tang Shaoyang changed the topic.

"Pride sent his clansmen back to make a report. The city is under the control of zombies, and they are not just random zombies but organized ones," Zhang Mengyao reported with slight concern about the situation there, "It seems a Zombie Lord is controlling all the zombies."

The situation was totally different than a horde under the lead of the zombie lord. The zombie lord in Jiaxing should be stronger to control all the zombies in the city.

Jiaxing might have less population than SH City, but over a million people were living there. More than a million people, meaning the same number of zombies also appeared on the day the Game started. The rough calculation should be around over two million zombies in Jiaxing.

The current official Tarriors and also the Fogged Ape Tribe were less than five hundred. If they had to include the Militia Force, it would still be less than a thousand and five hundred people.

"Let's prepare the men for Jiaxing's subjugation instead. I will catch up after I meet Major General Shi Yan. I am curious about this Major General and what the SZ City Establishment looks like," Tang Shaoyang made his decision.

"No, I will accompany you. I will form a small team to go with you to the SZ City Establishment," Zhang Mengyao insisted.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at the girl. She was smirking at him, "What would people say if we let Lord Shaoyang go without an escort team."

He shook his head helplessly, "Whatever, but you should prioritize Jiaxing's subjugation. The main core Tarriors should stay with the subjugation team."

"Leave that to me, it's not like we will spend days in the SZ City Establishment," She made an okay gesture and left the meeting room.

The next morning

Tang Shaoyang met with the "escort team". Liang Suyin, Kang Xue, Delia, Selena, Arina, Elin, and Li Na. They were the escort team Zhang Mengyao talked about.

"No, I don't agree with this," He immediately rejected the idea. Especially all his women were holding important positions in their division.

"You, you, you, you, and you…" he pointed at five girls. Kang Xue, Arina, Selena, Liang Suyin, and Li Na, "You can't go with me, nope. How can you leave your position while the subjugation team is about to depart?" His voice was stern, indicating he was not joking with them.

"I told you, he will not agree," Zhang Mengyao commented with a smile.

"But…" Kang Xue was about to say something, but Tang Shaoyang moved his index finger back and forth, "No but, you have to lead the Healers and assist Wei Xi. I want us to secure an area for our operation base. Don't underestimate the zombies just because they are weaker than the monsters we meet in another world!"

"Moreover, I have Lu An and Wen there. It should be enough," the five girls had a disappointed expression when they heard that.
