Chapter 762 - Taking Over A Continent - Part 17

The promised time was a month to make a new Dimensional Gate, and it was over a month by now. The promised Dimensional Gate should be finished, but Tang Shaoyang did not immediately take it from the dwarf. He did not want to activate the gate because he wanted to make sure there was no more threat to him and his empire on Earth. He would only feel safe when the continent fell into his hands; only then did he want to open the Dimensional Gate.

"Yes, My Lord. We have completed the Dimensional Gate to Earth. Do you want to install the Dimensional Gate right now?"? Chief Engin bowed his head respectfully. After Tang Shoayang took over Gigante Forest, The Dwarf swore allegiance to Tang Shaoyang. They were seeking protection from the Empire.

"No." Tang Shaoyang shook his head. "I am here for something else." He had a serious expression and continued with a solemn voice. "I have an offer for the dwarf. Do you want to follow me to the Earth?"

Chief Engin's smile disappeared right after hearing that offer from his Lord. His biggest fear of surrendering to a force came true. On the surface, they were a vassal, but once he started to refuse the Lord's order, that was the time that the Empire would pick a fault on his tribe. He opened his mouth and wanted to decline the offer, but the words could not come out of his mouth. Chief Engin was aware of the consequence of refusing the ruler's order, and it would not end nicely for sure.

Tang Shaoyang sensed the ripple of emotion on Chief Engin, and those emotions were dominated by fear. He realized that Chief Engin might misunderstand him.

"Do you want to talk with me somewhere else? You seem to misunderstand my intention of bringing your tribe to my world." Tang Shaoyang broke the silence. He would not force the dwarf to follow him to the Earth, but either way, he could send his people to this world to learn something from the dwarf if they did not want to follow him.

Chief Engin nodded his head and led Tang Shaoyang to his dwelling. Despite being the chief of his people, Chief Engin's dwelling was no different than the others. The same size, the same model, and the same exterior. The Dwarf Chief let Tang Shaoyang sit as he was about to get a drink for his Lord.

"There's no need." Tang Shaoyang motioned Chief Engin to sit across from him. "I am here to talk, not to drink." As usual, he was direct with his words. "Before I talk into the depth why I want you to follow to my world, I will tell you the situation of my world first."

Chief Engin responded with a nod. Even though he was in a dilemma, he was glad that his Lord went into length to explain to him the situation. At least, he could prepare for what his people would face.

Tang Shaoyang explained everything about the world, and he did not hide the fact that the Earth just went through the game for a few months. He did not forget the benefits of following him either. Since it was a new world into the game, Earth was a treasure stove for the old world like Lukan. Of course, he did not forget to tempt the dwarf with the smart base, every feature of the smart base, and even the blacksmith facility he had.

"That's the situation my world is in, so yeah, I want your tribe to help me to build my Empire. I will give you a territory to manage, and I will place the Blacksmith Facility for you to manage as well. Of course, I will prepare all the materials you guys need for anything." Tang Shaoyang explained everything thoroughly and added. "And I will not force you to follow me. If you don't want to come to my world, that's fine too. However, I will send my people to you and teach them your knowledge. You have two choices, follow me to my world or train my people, either way is good for The Empire."

Chief Engin fell silent and lowered his head. He was in deep thought as he considered the offer. He realized that he misunderstood Lord Tang Shaoyang. If he had to think about the proposal, that was not bad. The world was a few months into the game, meaning the inhabitants were pretty much weaker than them. Nothing was too dangerous for them, and on top of that, they had the Tang Empire, who protected them from the danger.

"Wait…." Chief Engin realized something. "If your world is a few months into the game, how can you be this strong?" Those words blurted out from his mouth. Then he realized that he was being rude to Lord Tang Shaoyang. 'Did Lord Tang Shaoyang lie to me?'

"Hmmm." Tang Shaoyang did not know how to answer that question. It would be unreliable if he replied, 'It's because of my luck.'

"I don't know how to answer, but I can tell you what I did since the day the game started." Tang Shaoyang told Chief Engin his experience when the game started. "All I did was keep fighting the monster. From day one of the game until now."

"It's okay if you don't believe it because once we open the Dimensional Gate, you can visit my world to check it over. My world is in ruin, and the order has not been established yet." Tang Shaoyang shrugged as there was no reason to lie to Chief Engin. "Again, you can still choose the second option, teaching my people your knowledge. I do really need skilled people to help me to grow my territory."

Chief Engin nodded his head as he appreciated the honesty of his Lord. As his Lord said, he could check the Earth first, and he would know if his Lord was lying or not. He felt like there was no need for Lord Tang Shaoyang to lie either. Lord Tang Shaoyang could just force him to follow him because of the oath.

"Can you give me some time, My Lord? I need to discuss this with the Elders too. It's not something I can decide by myself.." Chief Engin gave his answer.
