Chapter 1214 - 1214 Sprint

1214 Sprint

“No, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Ed felt that something was wrong.

He muttered to himself and took a deep breath to calm his slightly anxious mind.

Lord Fang Heng had always given him the feeling that he was a ruthless character who would plan for his next step.

He would not make a move so easily.

There must be a deeper meaning behind this move that he had yet to understand.

Ed turned to his subordinate and asked, “What else? Is there any other news?”

“There’s some more.”

The subordinate’s expression was solemn as he flipped through the information in his hand and said, “There is some unverified news. It is said that Tang Mo didn’t accept the royal family’s orders and returned to his territory in anger. It seems that he wants to take action against the royal family. We heard that the Empire has also dispatched troops to defend against Tang Mo’s movements.”

Ed frowned.

He did not hide his conversation with his two men, and everyone in the conference heard their conversation.

Everyone present was one of the top forces in the barbarian realm game, so they had their own source of intelligence. Soon, their subordinates also reported the urgent events that happened in the game.

One of the female players flipped through the information in her hands and suddenly said, “Ed, my team has been working in the Empire military headquarters. We just received an important piece of information that might be of help to you.”

Ed looked up at the female player and asked, “What is it?”

“General Deng Wen of the Empire has already defeated the main forces of the barbarians in the Linxi City area. Just now, General Deng Wen received an order from the royal family. The general who was originally going to support the troops had gone in another direction to the Land of Plague to capture Lord Fang Heng.”

“Other than that, the Empire has also transferred manpower from the Mage Association and sent the royal guards to the Land of Plague to capture them.”

“Many feudal lords have also received orders from the royal family and are already halfway to the Land of Plague.”

“The Land of Plague is now under the surveillance of the entire Empire.”

The woman licked her lips and said, “It seems like there’s going to be a lot of fun over there.”

This was bad.

The Land of Plague was about to be targeted by the royal family!

Could Fang Heng withstand this?

Ed’s heart sank.

Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

The Empire’s attention was all on the Land of Plague?

Even the royal guards were sent to capture Fang Heng?

Could it be…

Ed’s heart could not help but beat violently.

The Empire’s General Deng Wen was not around, and most of the royal guards guarding the capital had also withdrawn. There were also some people recruited and transferred from the Mage Association. The attention of the Empire had also been attracted to the Land of Plague.

One could imagine that the defense of the Empire’s Imperial City had reached an unprecedented emptiness!

This might be their best chance to take down the entire Empire in one fell swoop!

Ed suddenly had a wonderful realization.

Could everything be part of Fang Heng’s deliberate arrangement?

It couldn’t be, but there was a possibility!

That’s right! It must be like this!

Otherwise, why would Fang Heng dig up someone else’s ancestral grave for no reason?

It was to attract hatred!

Everything was under Fang Heng’s control!

A raging fire burned under Ed’s calm gaze as he glanced at the people in the conference room.

“Everyone, don’t panic. If I’m not wrong, all of this is actually Lord Fang Heng’s plan.”

Everyone looked at Ed with questioning eyes again.

Ed said in a deep voice, “Everyone, think about it carefully. At present, the Empire’s main military forces have been attracted by Lord Fang Heng. The protection of the Imperial City will only become weaker. This is a rare opportunity for us. We only need to seize this opportunity and find a way to sneak into the Imperial City and give the royal family a fatal blow!”

Everyone’s expression changed slightly when they heard this.

The destruction of the Imperial mausoleum and the arrest warrant from the royal family were also planned by Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue?

Although it was shocking, it seemed to make some sense when he thought about it carefully.

If they could seize the opportunity to give the royal family a fatal blow…

Ed had just said that they had to be quick so that they would not give the Empire a chance to react. However, Fang Heng’s swift action was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Ed looked excited and said, “Everyone, time is of the essence. Lord Fang Heng has already helped us resist the Empire’s huge pressure. We must immediately make plans and take down the Empire before the Empire destroys the Land of Plague!”

“Yes.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Since they had already decided to cooperate, there was nothing more to say. They would do their best!

“Some of my men are inside the Imperial City. I’ll find a way to take charge of the East gate area. When the time comes, we can sneak in from there to avoid being discovered in advance…”

…

[Hint: The Empire’s royal family has issued a warrant for your arrest. Your friendship with the royal family has reached the level of hatred.]

[Hint: The Empire has removed you from the position of the Empire’s feudal lord.]

[Hint: Your friendliness with the feudal lords has decreased.]

[Hint: You have lost your feudal lord status.]

[Hint: The royal guards are pursuing you.]

[Warning: The Empire’s general Deng Wen is going to attack you. He will arrive in Hani City in 24 hours.]

After leaving the capital of the Empire on the falcon with the others, Fang Heng immediately returned to the Land of Plague through a teleportation array in the underground world.

They did not even have the time to communicate with Wei Tao and the rest.

On the way back to the Land of Plague, game notifications kept appearing on Fang Heng’s retina.

Fang Heng knitted his brows tightly and checked the game’s description.

Perhaps it was because his mental strength was slightly stronger than before, but the side effects of using Everlasting Moon also weakened him faster than before.

After more than two hours of rest, he was now able to use skills that consumed mental power. However, before using the skill, he would have to deduct twice the amount of HP that was consumed by his MP.

With the combination of his passive undying body, this amount of damage was nothing to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Tang Mingyue and asked, “How’s the situation?”

“Yes, very good.”

Tang Mingyue nodded her head.

Among all of them, Tang Mingyue’s injury was undoubtedly the least severe. She was still full of energy and vigor, and she had returned to the previous state of excitement where she seemed to be able to use her skills infinitely.

In comparison, Wangnet’s situation was terrible.

After leaving the underground world’s teleportation passage, Wangnet completely fainted. Black blood was still oozing out of his body as his body continued to disintegrate.

Fang Heng frowned and looked at Qiu Yaokang, asking, “How’s his condition?”

“It’s very bad. I need to perform surgery on him. Also, I still have a lot of experimental equipment and materials left in the city. I need to do research immediately when I get back. The longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be.”

Fang Heng frowned.

They were wanted by the Empire, yet he still wanted to return to the city?

“We can’t go back to the city for the time being. Let’s go back to the Land of Plague first. I’ll find a way to get the materials and equipment back.”
