"What if they don't want to sign the contract, General Zhang?" Yoo Kwang

Sung re-read the System Contract for the second time. There was nothing with

the contract that would threaten the freedom of those who signed the contract,

but the Tang Empire still put restrictions on them. Of course, the contract was

bound to the modern people, and they would choose not to sign the contract if

they could. So he wanted to know what happened to the people who did not

want to sign the contract.

"It's simple; they can't live in the Tang Empire's territory or the aliate

territories if they don't sign the basic contract," Zhang Mengyao replied with

no expression. "We feed and protect them; if they don't want to sign the basic

contract, then they can leave. We want you to nish this in one week. It should

be easy since there are not that many people yet."

Based on the data, the Legion Guild had less than ten thousand people. It was a

lot, but not a lot at the same time. If they had to compare with the Tang

Empire's people, a few thousand was nothing. One week was more than enough

because the toughest challenge was how to persuade these people to sign the

basic contract.

"I understand," Park Nam Hoon immediately agreed with the decision.

"Good, then let's continue the discussion. So, what does The Legion Guild want

to do now? Will you keep expanding your faction, or are you satised with what

you have right now? I want to know The Legion Guild's next goal," Cao Jingyi

joined the discussion and asked Park Nam Hoon.

Park Nam Hoon froze for a moment when he heard the question. This was the

hardest question in the discussion because the Tang Empire's plan on the

Legion Guild would be dierent based on the answer.

"If you want to expand and take back all the territories in South Korea, then the

Tang Empire will do the best to support The Legion Guild. However, if The

Legion Guild is satised with what you have right now and want to stay as it is,

then The Tang Empire will send our force to capture the ownerless territory,"

Cao Jingyi added at the end.

Park Nam Hoon wanted to reply that the Legion Guild wanted to continue

expanding their territories, but he paused because this was not something he

could do alone. He took a deep breath and replied, "Can the Legion Guild have a

week time to discuss this by ourselves? We are coping against the four guilds

and haven't thought about our vision and mission. When we establish the

Legion Guild, we just want to save as many people as possible, so we haven't

thought about the Legion Guild's future yet."

"Alright, we will wait for your answer in a week along with the basic contract

progress," Cao Jingyi seemed to expect this kind of answer as she replied right

away. "Then we will continue our discussion regarding the law, internal

security, tribute...." The discussion continued for another three hours.

"Since we have a portal gate, we can have more discussion in the future after

you x all the issues within the Legion Guild," Zhang Mengyao nodded her

head. "Then we reach the end of our discussion here. We will invite the Legion

Guild to be part of the Tang Empire, and with that, the Legion Guild will be

ocially part of the Tang Empire."
