BXBX NOVEL Chapter 849: Earth Dimensional Tower - Part 1
"Oh, while you get to be close with Sister Elin and Delia, you should remain respectful to them when you meet them in public," Lu An turned to his secretary and reminded her. "They are The Emperor\'s wives, so better you know your place, especially in front of The Emperor. I don\'t know what he wants to do with you, but just enjoy the moment for now."
Yeon Hee had mixed feelings after hearing that from Lu An. She was anxious about what awaited her in the future. Lu An was right about that part, she was making a deal with The Emperor, but she had not met with him since then. She was surprised but not shocked to hear the two girls were The Emperor\'s wives. \'It\'s something I should expect from an Emperor, multiple wives.\' Then she remembered last night\'s event where The Emperor kissed her on the forehead, \'Did he want to take me into her harem too?\'
"I thought Brother Shaoyang fancies you, but the fact he hasn\'t come to meet you is puzzling me," Lu An muttered in a low voice, but there were only two of them inside the lift. No matter how small his voice was, she could hear him perfectly. "Maybe he just wants to torture you because of what your friends tried to do with Sister Aleesa and Sylvia."
Yeon Hee fell into deep thought as she had become even more uncertain about her future. She forgot all the problems when she ate the food, but she became unsettled once more.
"Regardless of what he wants to do with you, you are my personal secretary for now, so just do your job well. Maybe if you work well, I will try to ask Brother Shaoyang to forgive you and your friends," Lu An said without much thought in his mind. He had just one thing in his mind if his subordinates worked hard and produced a good result, then they must be rewarded. He said those with those thoughts in mind.
Ding!
Yeon Hee was about to say something to thank Lu An\'s support, but the door opened as they arrived on the twelfth floor. A big meeting would be held in this room, and Lu An was asked to attend the meeting. When the door opened, a purple-haired woman waited for them in front of the elevator. She immediately greeted Lu An when he stepped out of the elevator, "Good morning, Chief Lu An. The meeting will start in three minutes and thirty-seven seconds. We need to hurry, or else we will be late."
"Mnn, let\'s go," Lu An rushed to the meeting room along with the purple-haired woman. Yeon Hee was about to follow them, but the two were ten meters ahead of her when she just stepped out of the elevator. "Move up a little faster, or we will be late, Yeon Hee!" She heard Lu An\'s voice, urging her to pick up her pace.

The first assembly with the Sub Regions started without The Emperor, but Supreme General Zhang Mengyao, Vice Supreme General Wei Xi, and The Head of Healer Division replaced the Emperor to lead the assembly. No one knew where The Emperor went to because Zhang Mengyao just told them The Emperor had an urgent matter to take care of.
The meeting was supposed to discuss the Earth Dimensional Tower preparation, but Zhang Mengyao dismissed the discussion with, "Just prepare your best men to enter the Earth Dimensional Tower. We will hold another assembly to discuss the preparation after the Earth Dimensional Tower is summoned." The assembly mostly discussed the situation within the Sub Region. Right at eight o\'clock in the morning, Zhang Mengyao stopped the discussion after the System sent a notification to everyone.
[The Sky Level Dimensional Tower has been summoned on Earth!]
[Eleven Major Factions have obtained the privileges, a portal gate to Earth Dimensional Tower!]
After the notification, Origin immediately spoke to Zhang Mengyao: [I just received the portal gate to the Earth Dimensional Tower! Based on my knowledge of the Earth Map, the Dimensional Tower appeared in a region called Greenland.]
Hearing that, Zhang Mengyao opened the map and found Greenland on the map. Looking at where Greenland was, she laughed because no one could enter the dimensional tower unless they were major factions with privilege or a faction that originated on Greenland itself. That meant it was a competition between the major factions.
Greenland was a big island between the Arctic and the Atlantic Ocean, meaning the factions without the portal gate had to use ships to reach Greenland. Zhang Mengyao did not think they would think about crossing the ocean when their territories were occupied with zombies, so it was a competition between major factions who had the portal gate.
"We will end the assemble for now, but I wish you to prepare your best players to enter the dimensional tower. The Tang Empire will allow the Sub Regions to use the portal gate to the Earth Dimensional Tower, but we will send our people first to investigate the situation. The assembly is over," The eleven Chiefs wanted to say something, but they decided to listen to the command for the time being.
"We need an underground space to put our portal gate to the Dimensional Tower. Can you ask the dwarf if the portal gate room is done, Origin?" Then Zhang Mengyao turned toward Lu An. "Gather your best people because we will send TEID first to investigate the situation around the tower. We need quick information from the intelligence division."
"Yes!" Lu An stood up and left the meeting room with Yeon Hee and Viona.
Zhang Mengyao then glanced at Wei Xi, "Prepare our five hundred best Tarriors. They will be the first group to enter the dimensional tower. Marshal Alton, please work together with the Elven Kingdom and the Moonlight Tribe to prepare your best five hundred knights and warriors. We will be sending a thousand of our best people into the dimensional tower. Make sure they are not just strong, but also can be trusted!"
The Tang Empire\'s military was split into two for the time being. Marshal Alton would be responsible for the force from Lukan, and the original Tarrior was still managed by Zhang Mengyao and Wei Xi.
"Please prepare the best two hundred healers too, Kang Xue… I don\'t think we have that many capable healers yet," Zhang Mengyao did not want to send the newbie healers into the dimensional tower.
"Don\'t worry about it, Mengyao. We have the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe. They are capable healers, and we can fill the missing numbers with them," Kang Xue accepted the request. Bombyx Mori was the giant moth with elemental power, an elemental creature that mastered one element. Light Bombyx Mori Tribe mastered light elemental power, the power that could be used to heal.
"Ah, we have them as well," Zhang Mengyao remembered that they have the Light Bombyx Mori Tribe. Since they lived in seclusion, she forgot about them, "Then please prepare two hundred healers for the first team."
After giving a series of orders, Origin came back to her about the dwarf\'s work: [The dwarves have prepared the underground portal room, and we can use it right away. Do you want me to install the portal gate right away?]
"Please do that, and lead Lu An and his team to the underground room afterward. This is a race between the major factions. I don\'t want to be left behind by them," Zhang Mengyao got up from her seat and stretched out, "I will lead the expedition team by myself. I will leave the base to you three," She turned to Li Shuang, Cao Jingyi, and Kang Xue\'s father, Kang Jiayi, the Chief of Tang Empire Internal Security (TEIS).
Li Shuang\'s role in the Tang Empire was similar to the Prime Minister, but she did not have the official title yet. She was still someone in charge of the Tang Empire\'s infrastructure, from agriculture to education, and more things were her responsibility, and Cao Jingyi was her assistant.
"You can leave with ease with me here, Mengyao," Li Shuang smiled, "But you must be careful too."

Underground Portal Room
Lu An immediately gathered his team after leaving the assembly room. The Tang Empire Intelligence Division did not have a lot of people, around three hundred plus. It was a small division, but he had gathered the best. From three hundred, he picked a hundred people to follow him.
"Our duty is to gather information about the situation around the Dimensional Tower, to ensure our main force\'s safety. So, you must avoid fighting monsters, zombies, beasts, anything. We want to secure a safe point for Tarriors, understand?" Lu An stood in front of the hundred people and gave the instruction.
"Yes, Sir!" The hundred people answered simultaneously.
"Good, then let\'s depart," Lu An turned around, walking into the portal gate.
