Chapter 748: Taking Over a Continent - Part 3
Bandit was a different problem, and the reason these people became bandits might be related to the limited related-job in combat. If one did not join the kingdom’s force, the people with combat expertise could not get a job with decent pay. If they did not have any way to earn money, it would force them to be bandits.
“We only have two choices, huh?” Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. “The easy way is to recruit them into our army. The hard one is to create a decent job for them with decent pay.” He turned toward Alton. “Do you mean by equal in combat power? Does that mean they are equally weak too?”
“I don’t know what to consider as weak and strong. If we go by this continent’s standard, they are equally strong, above average if you compare them with the armies of the Warmir Kingdom and the Malecia Kingdom.” Alton thought a bit before giving his answer. Allan nodded his head in agreement as he was surprised as well by the strength of the Lionax Kingdom’s knights.
“I think we can form a new legion, but remind them they may get transferred to my world, Earth. We don’t need that many armies once we take down the Warmir Kingdom and the Malecia Kingdom.” Tang Shaoyang came up with a decision.
“That will be fine for them, I think. Because half of them were trained in other worlds.” Alton nodded his head. “We also have some issues regarding the dimensional gate to the other worlds, Your Majesty. I have looked into these dimensional gates, and all of them are stronger world than Lukan. What should we do with the Dimensional Gate, Your Majesty?”
“Let’s destroy all the dimensional gates for now. I have to return to Earth after the battle against the two kingdoms. I don’t think we have enough manpower to control all the gates either.” Tang Shaoyang voiced his thoughts about those dimensional gates. If the worlds behind those dimensional gates were stronger worlds than Lukan, it was dangerous to let the gate remain open. Once the forces on the other side found the dimensional gate, they would most likely invade the Ortis Continent. Tang Shaoyang could not split his focus when the Earth Dimensional Tower was about to appear.
“If we have enough preparation, we can open the dimensional gate once more with the dwarf on our side.” It was not worth risking it when they did not have enough preparation to defend against the foreign invasion. “How many dimensional gates do we have?”
“We have 17 active dimensional gates and seven destroyed dimensional gates,” Allan reported the total of the dimensional gates. It was natural that the Lionax Kingdom became the strongest kingdom in the Ortis Continent with those resources.
“Destroy all of them for now. If we still have knights on the other sides, recall them all. We will form more legions and recruit all the knights.” Tang Shaoyang set his command for the dimensional gates. While the dimensional gates were overwhelming, the resources from the other worlds were massive. If not for he had to go back to the Earth, he was ready to explore the new world.
‘Nah, I think I should focus my development in Lukan first. There’s still the main continent, and there might be a lot stronger forces compared to Gigante Forest and the three kingdoms.’ Tang Shaoyang thought to himself.
“As your wish, Your Majesty.” Alton and Allan bowed their heads. “Does that mean we will start the attack on the Warmir Kingdom once we are done with the recruitment?” Alton asked Tang Shaoyang.
“What do you think, Alton?” Tang Shaoyang returned the question. “From your perspective, are we ready to launch an intermediate attack to the Warmir Kingdom, Marshal Alton?”
“Give me three days, Your Majesty. I think we are ready to attack the Warmir Kingdom in three days.” Alton replied with a firm tone. If Tang Shaoyang told him to attack the Warmir Kingdom tomorrow, he would follow the order. But the ideal way to take some time for the knights to adjust to the new rule of the Tang Empire’s military. The knights were under a new general, meaning they had to adjust to the Tang Empire’s strategy instead of following the Lionax Kingdom’s strategy.
“Alright. We will follow your plan as you know the best about the state of our army.” Tang Shaoyang agreed with the plan if it was three days of waiting. ‘I have to send Kalliyan, Wrath, and Aerelion to the north, to the border of the Malecia Kingdom.’ He was about to ask if they had more to report, but someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Tang Shaoyang replied to the knock. The door opened, Ashley and Aleesa together entered the room. Both were still in their armor as they had just returned from raiding the bandits. “You have returned, so how’s the raid?”
“We have succeeded in rooting the bandit,” Ashley replied with a positive result. “I have reached level 1000. What do you think, should I take the Trial of Epic now, or after the war?” She immediately came over to ask these three people for an opinion regarding the time for taking the trial.
Ashley was not far from level 1000, so it was not a surprise for Tang Shaoyang. “Wait. Don’t take the trial now. Take the trial when we return to Earth. Do you forget about talent? There’s a chance that you can get a second talent so that you can clear more waves in the trial.”
