Chapter 947: Future Plan

It was just a suspicion, but he did not expect the old man truly have a hidden agenda by proposing the idea. Marshal Alton admitted openly, but it was not something that would harm The Empire. In fact, he realized that the sparing fight held more value than he thought.         

    

"I see," The Emperor nodded, "Just another note for you, Marshal Alton. I don't want you to hide anything from me when you try to suggest a proposal like this in the future."     

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Marshal Alton bowed, "I have no intention to trick you. I ask for your forgiveness."     

"Mnn, there's no need to apologize. I know you are just being too careful around me," The moment he said that someone scolded him in his head.     

'That's not how an Emperor should respond. As an Emperor of a nation, you are being too humble and too much appeal to your subordinate,' Rosalie, The Flame Empress, was the one to speak up, 'You just need to forgive him and move on when he asks for forgiveness. As long as you are not killing people arbitrarily for the slightest offense, your subordinates will not be afraid of voicing their opinion in the future. Don't lower yourself for your subordinates.'     

'That's true,' Tang Shaoyang agreed with Rosalie, but he had more to add, 'But I am not doing this to everyone, but just to my trusted subordinates. I have no concern for people afraid of making suggestions to me, but this is just a cultural difference between my world and your world, Rosalie. If we treat my subordinates with the respect they deserve, then people will respect me too. That's what I believe, and I don't feel like I am lowering myself to my subordinates.'     

"I agree with the idea, but instead of sparring, we will hold an official tournament," Tang Shaoyang looked at Zhang Mengyao, "We have a yearly tournament by the System, so I plan to hold a tournament to choose the participants for the Earth Tournament. That's much better than holding a sparring battle, a clear purpose behind the battle."     

Marshal Alton looked confused as he did not know anything about the Earth Tournament. Of course, he knew the tournament but knew nothing about the Earth Tournament. Kang Xue explained the World Congress and the Earth Tournament that the System would hold yearly. The conversation flowed out naturally after that.     

"That's a brilliant idea, Your Majesty," Marshal Alton praised Tang Shaoyang while nodding.     

"We will divide the tournament into a few categories. The first category should be between level 250 to level 500, the second category is between level 501 to level 750, the third category is between level 751 to level 999, the fourth category is for the Epic Rank, and the last category for Ancient Rank and above," Tang Shaoyang shared what he planned for the tournament. He wanted to make the tournament as fair as possible, "Of course, we will reward the winner with a Treasure Chest and Game Coin."     

Tang Shaoyang looked at Kang Xue and Zhang Mengyao, and both nodded in response. Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue were aware that Tang Shaoyang had asked them to organize the tournament.     

"What's the name of the tournament? Can our vassals join the tournament too, or it's exclusive for the Tarrior?" Kang Xue asked. She felt they should include the vassals, but the choice was not hers.     

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow as it was a tricky situation. He felt the same as Kang Xue. The vassals should join too, but that would defeat the purpose of the tournament. The tournament was to choose the representative for the Tang Empire in the Earth Tournament, but the vassal could not represent the Tang Empire in the Earth Tournament.     

"We are talking about the factions that submit to us, Marshal Alton. The Lukan still can join the tournament," Zhang Mengyao explained.     

Tang Shaoyang had a few vassals from Lukan, including the Elven Kingdom and the Moonlight Rabbit Tribe. So she explained the vassals they talked about were the other factions, not the people from Lukan.     

"It's a Sub Region, not vassal," Tang Shaoyang added. Even though the name was different, it was actually not that different from a Vassal. It was more like a company branch with other people handling the company. He changed the word to sweeten it up for the potential vassal. The Tang Empire still supervised the sub-region with the special team, and they must have The Tang Empire's consent to choose a new leader.     

"I don't think we include the Sub Region in the upcoming tournament," He continued, "The purpose of the tournament is to choose the participant of the Earth Tournament, and The Sub Region have to choose their own representative for the Earth Tournament. We will not include the sub-region unless they want to merge with us."     

Tang Shaoyang created the Sub Region system for many reasons. First, it was for the empire's image so they would not appear like a Tyrant who arbitrarily destroyed the other factions. Second, it was about time. He did not want to waste his time fighting the small factions while he could absorb them using the Sub Region system. Not all factions were willing to surrender; it was about pride, after all. That was why he came up with the Sub Region. In a sense, they still applied their own rule in their region, but everything was supervised by the Empire. The small factions were probably aware of that, but there was nothing they could do. The choice was to join the World Government or become The Tang Empire's enemy.      

"They can hold their own tournament if they want, and we can help them with the tournament prize. We have a lot of Level 9 Treasure Chests, and we can afford to give them a few," Tang Shaoyang added.     

He did not mind giving the Sub Region ten treasure chests yearly for each Sub Region. That would be included as a benefit of the Sub Region's factions. The Tang Empire had hundreds of Level 9 Treasure Chests, if not thousands, from clearing the mini-game.
