Chapter 749: Taking Over a Continent - Part 4
The other four looked at Tang Shaoyang as they did not understand what he talked about. Talent was something everyone got when they were born, not something they could get externally, like class and bloodline. Also, this was everyone’s first time to hear the second talent, which was more absurd.
“Haven’t I told you guys about my world?” Tang Shaoyang looked at Alton, Allan, Aleesa, and Ashley. Then he turned toward Ashley. “You should probably know, right?”
“You did mention something like that, but I think that’s just your trick to entice us to join the Empire.” Ashley nodded her head. Tang Shaoyang did mention the talent thingy, but she thought it was just an enticement. “Talent is hereditary, not something you can awaken like a bloodline, and not something like class through the scroll.” That was what she believed for years.
Tang Shaoyang went with “Ah” as he nodded his head. “You should know that my world is a few months into the game, right?” He looked toward Ashley. The latter nodded her head, but the three were surprised when they saw Ashley nodded her head. The three looked at Tang Shaoyang in disbelief.
“Do you know the history of the Game itself? How it started, do you know that?” Tang Shaoyang started with a question. Aleesa nodded her head as she was an existence that had gone through the game from the start. “I do, but that time, I was still a kid. If I am not wrong, we got the blessing of nature that increased our affinity with nature that spurred our magical ability.”
“Huh!? Just that?” Tang Shaoyang was quite baffled to hear that from Aleesa. “Didn’t you encounter zombies? No, I mean Undead?”
“Undead? No, there’s no undead, or such a thing appeared. We heard the System voice in our head, and then we got the blessing.” Aleesa recalled what happened in the past. “Thanks to the Game, we have gone through war after war since the other tribes who got a different blessing until we became the big four in Gigante Forest.”
“This is weird. The Game in my world started with the mass appearance of the undead, or we called them zombies.” Tang Shaoyang did not expect that the two worlds had a different start. He recounted what he experienced and what happened to Earth to them. “So, it could be said that Earth lost half or even more of its population after the Game started.”
Everyone exchanged glances, but none of them got the answer to what made the two worlds have a different start. “We can save that mystery later. I will tell you what I got in these few months…” He told them about the territory, smart base, and more stuff related to the smart base, including the class and the talent.
“We don’t have something like that. In order to obtain a knight class, we have to go to an Academy or be taught by the knight. Once we learned the basics, we got a class Knight.” Alton shared the process of him getting the class. He remembered when Rosalie taught him to fight and how he obtained the class.
Tang Shaoyang started to tap the table, and he got the gist of the difference between Lukan and Earth. However, it still puzzled him why the two worlds experienced a different start. “Anyway, you can get talent from the smart base. You have one free chance to obtain a random talent, and you can pay 1 million GC to get better talent. I have a guess that you guys can obtain a second talent through my smart base since you are from a different world, not the resident of the Earth.”
Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Ashley. “So, I want you to wait until we return to Earth before taking the trial. If you can get a second talent, the chance of clearing the trial is high.”
“If that’s the case, I think you should wait for that chance, Lady Ashley.” Alton agreed to Tang Shaoyang’s idea. “Even if you can’t get a second talent, there’s a chance for you to get a better talent than the one you have right now.”
Ashley thought for a moment and said. “I have Tier-C Talent. Even though it will delay my growth since I can’t level up, it’s worth the wait.” She agreed with the idea of postponing the trial.
After they were over with Ashley’s trial issue, they continued with the meeting. Alton had a lot he wanted to ask his Lord regarding the Earth, but he chose to wait. ‘Let’s give Lord Tang Shaoyanng the whole continent, and only after that, I deserve to ask him something.’
*** ***
Three days were not that long, and it quickly passed. Thirty-three new legions were created under the banner Tang Empire. A legion consisted of five thousand Tarriors, which meant the Tang Empire’s new armies amounted to a hundred and sixty-five thousand Tarriors. Aside from the late knights from the Lionax Kingdom, they had forty legions of monsters and beasts. In total, Tang Shaoyang had three hundred and sixty-five thousand Tarriors that were ready to fight.
The capital was too small to accommodate citizens and armies, so the Tarrior had to camp outside the Capital. If one looked at the camp outside the wall, they would be intimidated by the number of the armies. On top of that, they had to include the flying beasts too.

Tang Shaoyang’s eyes shot open, and he looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. It was not the ceramic ceiling of the Lionax Kingdom’s castle. He was sleeping at an average inn in the Capital. He glanced at his chest. Viona’s head rested on his chest as she was still stark-naked, sleeping soundly after the fruitful night.
Today the Tang Empire’s force would march toward the south, toward the Warmir Kingdom. He met with the girl, asking whether she still wanted to fight or return to her children’s side. The reason she joined the fight was the Revolution Army, but the Revolution Army had been eradicated. There was no more reason for her to continue to fight, so he meant to ask her if she still wanted to fight.
Her answer was not out of his expectation. “I still want to fight, and I still want to get stronger!”
