Herman and Frans exchanged glances. Reinar had not told them anything that he really wanted other than a few classes from the unique class. Aside from that, Reinar let Herman command the Giteron Dynasty’s force to fight off the Blue Vest from the south and Saint Guild from the north. The situation was stabilized, more than stabilized as they got more territories with the help of the Giteron Dynasty. Yet the man had not specifically said anything about the Giteron Dynasty’s purpose. Herman and Frans took the seat across, “We will do our best to help to achieve the Giteron Dynasty’s goal.”

“That’s what I like to hear, but I don’t need your help for now. I have people to do the job, and we are ready to take action right now. I just want to inform you that we will leave for a while, so you must defend your territory on your own. Maybe for a few months, half a year at most. I don’t want to lose a precious ally, so you just need to defend your territory while I am away,” Reinar Thamsen smiled.

Frans furrowed his brow while Herman did not accept that easily, “But this is too abrupt, Sir. We haven’t set up any defense yet. Can you give us three days?” If Saint Guild and Blue Vest Guild found out that the Giteron Dynasty’s force was not with them, they might attack The First Order Guild’s territories from both sides.

“You can set up the defense tonight, no? I think it’s easy to set up your defense as long as you have the money,” Reinar Thamsen made a coin gesture with his hand, “If you don’t have enough GC, I can lend you some. How much do you need?”

“No, that’s not it, Sir Reinar. We have the money, but we don’t have the time. They will notice it if you pull your army right now, and the defense might be useless if we don’t have the people,” Herman tried his best to keep his voice low, hoping Reinar would understand.

“Unfortunately time is also what I need. My people have succeeded in breaking the Tang Empire’s defense, and I have to take this chance to take them down right now. It’s now or never,” Reinar Thamsen shook his head, “I can’t give the Tang Empire time to reinforce their defense. I have to go now or the World Government might take the Tang Empire down. Once the Tang Empire fell to their hands, their next target is you.”

Herman was conflicted as he could not really refute Reinar. If the Tang Empire fell to the World Government, The First Order Guild would be the next target unless they joined the World Government as well.

“How about if I give you extra armor that my army uses? Your people can wear the armor to disguise as my army. That’s a solid plan I would say,” Reinar Thamsen had a plan in his mind because he knew that Herman would try to stop him from pulling his army.

Herman knew that he had no choice but to go with the best amongst the worst plans which faked the Giteron Dynasty’s force. If the Blue Vest Guild and Saint Guild knew that “The Giteron Dynasty” army stayed, they would not attack, “Alright, we can do that. But can you give me half an hour, Sir?”

“I think I can wait for half an hour,” Reinar Thamsen smiled and nodded.

Reinar did not try to burn the bridge with the First Order Guild. He always prepared for the worst. If he failed to take over the Tang Empire, then he still needed a place to retreat, which in this case was the First Order Guild. Half an hour passed quickly, and Reinar Thamsen and his two hundred thousand armies gathered in a big square. That was not all the Giteron Dynasty’s army. He brought two hundred and fifty thousand army and decided to leave fifty thousand army for the First Order Guild out of goodwill. That was enough to win Herman’s heart. 𝒐𝔳𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Of course, the main reason why was because Reinar was confident with his two hundred thousand army. He did not need a big army to go to the conquered territory. He believed Revalor had won and took over territory with the elven army. That was the meaning of the green orb. The next step was that Reinar just needed to support Revalor to fortify their position while letting the World Government and the Tang Empire fight.

The big teleportation portal stood in the middle of the square, twenty meters tall and twenty meters wide. Reinar Thamsen came closer to the teleportation portal and placed his bracelet on the portal. As soon as he put the bracelet in its place, the portal glowed. The portal would trace the green orb’s location, and it would create a portal on the other side.

Reinar Thamsen raised his right hand and gestured to his army to move forward, “March!”

Herman and Frans watched from the higher building, watching Reinar Thamsen enter the portal with conflicted feelings. A Mix of fear and concern as the first group followed Reinar. Also, the uncertainty for the future got into his head.

“What will happen to us if the Tang Empire falls?” Herman uttered in a low voice, “Will they turn against us? Or will we stay as an ally?” That was his concern. What made the First Order Guild and the Giteron Dynasty an ally was the Tang Empire. If the Tang Empire fell to the Giteron Dynasty’s hand, what would happen to them? That was his concern. Frans also did not know what happened in the future, and he had no way to comfort his Guild Leader as well because he did not know what kind of people Reinar Thamsen was. Everything about Reinar Thamsen was good and friendly, never taking advantage of them even though Reinar could. However, that was what made him worried, he was too flawless for an ally, he did not know what kind of people Reinar was so he did not know how to play their cards against Reinar Thamsen.

It was the same with the Tang Empire. The Giteron Dynasty had everything, and there was nothing they could give to the Giteron Dynasty. It would be hard to continue their relationship after the Giteron Dynasty got what they wanted.

“What if The Tang Empire wins? What if the Tang Empire defeated the federation, the church, and the dynasty? I feel like I have made a grave mistake by receiving the Giteron Dynasty’s support. Regardless of the result, we are in a dire situation, no?” Herman realized the worst scenario in his head where the Giteron Dynasty threw them away after taking the Tang Empire. There was no reason for the Giteron Dynasty to keep the First Order Guild after taking over the Tang Empire.

If he decided to side with the Tang Empire from the start, the Tang Empire might leave them alone if the Tang Empire won the war, the impossible scenario in his head. However, he did not know why he felt like the Tang Empire might pull the impossible. That made him restless.

“That’s impossible even for the Tang Empire to win this war,” Frans believed the chance of the Tang Empire winning the war was zero. After finding out the Giteron Dynasty’s main force, he believed the Tang Empire’s chance to survive was zero. And the Tang Empire had to fight the other two factions on the same level as the Giteron Dynasty.

“I hope so. I hope my feeling is wrong too.”
