Chapter 1348 Smurfing In Another World - Part 2
"I have to discuss them with my people first, Sir. I can't really make the decision myself even though I want to dissolve the kingdom to join with my friends," Frost leaned to the third option.
He did not intend to create the kingdom at first. When the Game started, Tang Shaoyang, Kairu, and Wen left. He gathered the people from the fourth tribe and also the humans from the nearby villages.
Frost and Jacky gathered them to protect them while their friends were away. If they were left be. It was just a matter of time before God's followers killed them all as they were still in a conflict against The Goddess of Harmony. That was his thought process, he gathered them and protected them until someone proposed to establish the kingdom.
The Game brought chaos upon Aqura as a war broke out in many places. More refugees came to them as the human Gods declared war on all races. They intended to take over Aqura which caused chaos. Not only did they have to deal with the monster from the dungeon break, but they now had to deal with the human Gods' force as well.
Frost and Jacky accepted the proposal as it allowed them to have a proper structure and system. That way they could fight back properly instead of relying on volunteers to fight the Gods' followers. Things were going well since The Goddess of Harmony failed to subjugate them, and they thrived even more as they received more refugees who ran from the war.
They were doing well, expanding their territories until The Sun God and The Clown God joined. With the number of advantages, the three Gods' forces slowly nibbled The Orin Kingdom's territories whose forces were spread out. After five years, they were forced out to leave their Capital which was located in the Orin Forest, and cornered them in this mountain. They had too many people, and many sacrificed their lives to keep The Orin Kingdom alive.
When he had the choice to protect The Orin Kingdom without being dissolved, he could not just arbitrarily disband the kingdom to follow The Tang Empire. His people lost their lives to keep the name of The Orin Kingdom. If he dissolved the kingdom, it was the same as if he betrayed those who died for the kingdom.
"I think there's something wrong with my wording earlier. I am not asking to dissolve The Orin Kingdom even if you decide to be The Tang Empire's vassal. You will remain as a kingdom. The Empire will give you a territory for your kingdom to manage. We will grant you protection and any help your kingdom needs. In exchange, you have to pay tax and you can't refuse when you receive a draft call from the empire. I will give you the details if The Orin Kingdom is willing to be my vassal."
Tang Shaoyang realized there was something with his wording when Frost mentioned it again. He did not mean to dissolve the kingdom. They could stay as a sub-group just like the other vassals. The name did not matter as long as they fulfilled their obligations as the vassal.
That really changed the situation. If The Orin Kingdom could stay as a kingdom, then he could persuade his people to agree to be The Tang Empire's vassals.
"Thank you for the clarification, Sir. I will discuss it with my officers, and I think I can give you the answer in three days or a week at the latest," Frost responded with a nod.
"Take your time," Tang Shaoyang secretly glanced at Frost's daughter, not because he was interested in her, but because of what she said before, about Jacky. It was the time to find out what actually happened to Jacky, "I heard from your daughter Jacky is dead? How did he die?"
Between Frost and Jacky, he was closer to the latter than the former. The red monkey made him a weapon, Dragon Destroyer from Rumru's scale. He asked to find out the truth if the red monkey was really dead or not. Also, it was a genuine question. If Jacky died, he wanted to know how he died. Rumru, who was close to Jacky, must want to know how the red monkey died.
Frost furrowed his brow and turned toward his daughter, "What are you up to, Lyra?" novelbuddy.co(m)
Frost's daughter shrugged, "Back then, I don't know yet if he is the real Tang Shaoyang or a spy from the Phoebus Legion or The Clown Troupe. I am just testing out to see his reaction. Uncle Jacky is still alive."
Lyra then turned toward his father, "I don't know why you trust him, Father, but do we really need his help? Can we really trust him when we don't even know how strong he is? Sure he could beat one of our elite teams, but that was far from enough to kill the human God? I am sorry, but I can't trust him, and I think others will have the same opinion as me."
From the conversation, his doubt was answered. Rumru was telling the truth that Jacky was still alive, and that also told him not to trust Frost's daughter anymore. That one lie was enough for him not to believe whatever she said to him regardless of her reason for lying to him.
Of course, if she told the truth right after her father recognized him, it would be different. The fact that she did not explain anything to him after Frost recognized him was enough for him not to trust him anymore. It did not really matter what her excuse was.
Tang Shaoyang glanced at Lyra and shook his head, "Does not really matter if you trust me or not. I am just giving an offer, and I will still kill those Gods whether you trust me or not."
"Now we get to the main topic. I will wipe the force outside the city, and I will need someone to be my guide. Someone who knows very well those human Gods' location."
He could see the force that besieged the city outside through Spirit Eyes. A few thousand knights surrounded the city with the siege equipment. There was nothing that caught his attention from those knights. His plan was to ask for a guide from Frost, and then he would fight the force outside.
'The time flow's different became my biggest advantage to hunt those God Ranks.' Based on his conversation with Rumru, Aqura's time flows ten times faster than Earth's. A day in this world would be two hours and half an hour in this world. Achieving his goal in this world would be much faster than he thought, and if he left one spirit at the gate, he could switch position any time, in case there was an emergency on Earth.
As for Lyra's claim, he did not really care. There was no need for him to convince her or any other people. He would fight the Gods anyway even if The Orin Kingdom's people doubted him. It was just conveniently his oath with Rumru would mean helping the Orin Kingdom.
"If you are thinking of putting your daughter to be my guide, then forget about it. I will go alone rather than go with someone I can't trust," He noticed Frost secretly glancing at his daughter.
Frost let out a sigh, "I will hold a meeting and will appoint you a guide after." He thought he could use this chance to make her daughter closer to Tang Shaoyang. However, it looked impossible now because Tang Shaoyang did not trust her daughter.
"You do you. I will wipe the force outside and make sure the guide is ready after I get rid of the knights," Tang Shaoyang got up from the chair and headed out.
Frost stared at the Tang Shaoyang's back, then he let out an audible sigh, making sure his daughter was aware of how disappointed he was. He looked toward her daughter once more and let out a louder sigh before getting up and leaving the room.
A guide was not needed inside the city because he could see the city's layout through the Spirit Eyes. He easily guided himself to the front gate.
The street was still empty, but he could see the eyes peering through the window and the gap in the doors.
"Will you really fight the knights besieging our city?" Lyra followed Tang Shaoyang, but she did not hear a response from him.
"You don't even know where the gate is, how are you going to fight them? Can you at least make a believable lie?" Frost's daughter did not give up on getting the response, but silent treatment was what she got.
The female Frost Tigra stubbornly followed Tang Shaoyang and asked a bunch of questions even though she never got the answer. She did not realize it but they arrived at the front gate.
She was confused about how Tang Shaoyang knew where the way to the front gate was. It was not like it took him a long time to reach here either, "How?" Confused, she asked.
Tang Shaoyang ignored her and leaped into the city wall. He landed between the beastmen warrior and also found his target.
