Armipotent

Zhang Mengyao had retaken Lisbon from the mercenary. There was no more fight after the initial of a hundred mercenaries just like Lu An told them. A hundred mercenaries were supposed to guard the portal and report if the Tang Empire went through. However, the mercenaries took the matter by themselves and got killed before they could report.

"We actually need people who know this place. We can use our advantage and strike from the back while they are unaware we have taken Lisbon from them," Zhang Mengyao's plan was quite simple and straightforward, but the execution mattered.

The issue was that they lacked the knowledge of the area for Europe. They needed someone to lead them to move from one city to another. If they moved recklessly in a big number, The World Government might discover their movement.

The Smart Base in Lisbon was empty after they decided to take it over. There were no people, not a single person in the city. It was either the mercenaries who killed them all or the World Government transferred the people to another place. It was most likely the latter since there was no trace of slaughter in the city.

"We need Sir Lu An," Virion, who joined Zhang Mengyao at the table, voiced his thoughts, "TEID will be a big help for us to scout the area ahead."

"Has Lu An returned, Origin? Tell him to meet as soon as possible when his business outside is over."

Origin had a big role in this fight. The Smart Ai that got the Tang Empire connected directly to the captured territory could make a direct report of their situation all over their territories.

[Sir Lu An has returned and is on his way to Lisbon.]

"What about this smart base? Have you discovered something different about this smart base? There must be a reason why the Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church want all the territories," Zhang Mengyao asked Origin to do a full check-up on the smart base. She tried to understand the reason why the enemies were going after the territory instead of fighting them. When The World Union and the Uprising Guild brought the reinforcement back to the Earth, the first thought in her was to eliminate them. But that was not the case, they clearly had a hidden intention behind all of this, and she wanted to understand it so she could take some measures against them.

[The class. They have taken all ten Unique Classes in this smart base. Maybe The Belem took all the classes. I am not sure, but maybe the Unique Class is what they want. Wasn't the reason the Divine Church attacked His Majesty for the class? They might want to get the class for themselves. Of course, That's just my assumption.]

Zhang Mengyao furrowed her brows. The Tang Empire still had a lot of Unique Classes from the other smart bases. They could not give them freely to anyone, but just to the high-ranking officer. She thought about it and realized that Origin might be right in this case.

'What happen to Earth in ten years from now on? There will be no more unique classes from the smart base. The smart base does not regenerate the class.' She realized that the unique class was their aim. The Federation of Allurion's original world has no more unique classes, and they wanted Earth to provide them with more unique classes. They came to Earth for the smart base, not the Tang Empire.'

"That's why they send mercenaries instead of the main force. They keep their main force to fight us up there, but now we have pulled our main force. We have to expect the Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church's main forces to be here," Zhang Mengyao thought that far from Origin's assumption, "Of course, we are also their target, but we are not their priority right now. We have to make our move now. They will be busy finishing the Survival Game, and we will strike them while their force is inside the Survival Game."

In order to capture the territory, the faction must finish the Survival Game. Of course, it should not be that hard for the bunch of Primordial Ranks to finish the Survival Game. But they could use that small gap to attack them.

"I am here ready to help," Lu An came at the right moment. He heard everything that Zhang Mengyao just said, "I have sent my people to scout ahead. We can depart in ten minutes if you want to, Supreme Commander Zhang."

"Good," Zhang Mengyao turned toward Marshal Alton and Legion Commander Virion, "I want all your people who could fight, every single one who could join right now. Of course, you can leave a portion of your people to guard your new home, but we need as many as possible. They can partake in the Survival Game for their benefit, and we will take over Portugal." She placed the Elven Kingdom's insignia and Beast Coven's insignia over Portugal on the map, "We will fortify Portugal and use this place as our main base operation. Then we will push forward to the east."

Zhang Mengyao's plan went smoothly. It took them a week to take Portugal where most territory had been captured already. They just needed to take over the smart base, and Origin's assumption was most likely right because most of the unique classes were gone from the smart base. Then the Tang Empire fortified Portugal, building up a giant wall between Portugal and Spain's border. The fifty meters wall now separated Spain and Portugal with tight security, the joint security from the Beast Coven and the Elven Kingdom.

After taking over the border, Tang Empire Intelligent Division made sure that The World Government or the factions in Spain did not notice the wall. TEID silenced and caught all the people that stayed on the border while Lu An spread his people all over Spain.

"From the survivors that hide from the World Government, there are several groups moved in Spain. Most likely the mercenaries who tried to capture the territories. There should be around seven groups, splitting up…." Lu An paused as he just received a message from his subordinate, "We have found the group. There are three groups moving down to the south, and another four to the north…." Lu An pointed at the map where the group is.

"What are we waiting for? Let's kill them off and take over Spain," Zhang Mengyao sent her order.
