Chapter 369: Messenger (1/2)

Three days quickly passed since the Tang Empire became the ruler of the SH City. And it was also marked the three days after the empire announced the new system.

From the meeting room, he could see that a few people were complaining down there. Those people were fighting for their right to free food. In another world, those few people were the lazy people in the base.

It was amazing that the number was almost two hundred people. They were yelling, asking for justice while what they wanted was free things.

”How many of them?” Tang Shaoyang asked Wen who was standing next to him. The Jade Eagle just returned last night and reported something to him.

”Twenty-seven people, that one is the leader of the group I guess,” Wen pointed at the man who rallied the masses.

”I am not sure who's the leader, but that man is the one who leads the armed people from the SZ City Establishment.”

Wen last night told him that the soldiers from the SZ City Establishment entered their territory as survivors. The Jade Eagle memorized the faces and intended to eliminate the spies quickly.

”Nah, don't eliminate these people. From the look of it, they are not an expert or something else for their job,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head, ”We can use them,” he smirked as looked at the man who led the people to protest.

If these people were spies, they should not do something like this. They should stay low and inform the information they discovered to their leaders.

”Catch them, all of them. I want all of them in jail by the night,” He commanded the Jade Eagle.

”Yes, My Lord!” Wen bowed his head then he left the room to execute the command.

Ten minutes later, Tang Shaoyang watched Wen lead hundreds of TIES and Tarriors to catch the protester. They caught them and dragged them to the back of the main building, the jail.

The onlookers did not dare to do anything even though hundreds of people were beaten in front of them. Of course, the onlookers also thought what these people were doing was utterly stupid. No one was going to stand up for the protesters despite the harsh response from officers.

The protesters quickly disappeared. The onlookers thought that the protesters would be jailed for a few days then they would be freed in the next few days.

Little did they know that more than twenty people would never come back from jail.

—When do you want to install the Portal Gate?

Zowen's enthusiastic voice rang in Tang Shaoyang's head. She could not wait for the portal to be installed.

Tang Shaoyang was aware that Zowen was hoping that the gate would be connected to her world. However, he was not going to install the Portal Gate in the near future until he was confident with his force.

”Not now for sure,” Tang Shaoyang shook his head, ”First of all, once we install the portal, people from another world can also use the gate to come here. If we don't have enough preparation, it will be me and my empire's doom.”

”Second, the portal's connection is random. The chance that our world will be connected is less than a percent. Don't get your hope too high or you will become more disappointed,”

”I am aware that the connection could bring huge resources for my empire. Hunting ground to level up, mines for the ores for the smith, herbs to make a potion, and more. But the risk will be higher too, I don't think that I alone can win against the whole world.”
