Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

… …

Royal City.

The Imperial Guards escorted Tang Wu, riding a griffin, back to the main hall.

This time, he personally persuaded two imperial lords to pledge allegiance, and several lords around the royal city also surrendered. Tang Wu was in a very good mood.

"What's wrong?"

Having just sat on the throne and not even had time to enjoy it, Tang Wu noticed that his advisor, Ding Shixiu, looked a little unwell.

"Your Majesty, this is the report just provided by the Tianshu Institute."

"Bring it here."

Tang Wu took the report from the guard, opened it, and read it word by word, his expression getting worse and worse.

"Bang!"

Tang Wu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he slammed the report on the table!

"What's going on?!"

He went out with great difficulty and finally persuaded two lords to surrender. He hadn't even had time to celebrate when, in the blink of an eye, five lords surrendered to Tang Mingyue?

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Our investigation revealed that the cause of the matter was Lord Chadwick of Linkleton City."

The Tianshu Institute has always been the department in the royal family responsible for collecting intelligence. The commander of the Tianshu Institute, Pedley, immediately stepped forward and reported the collected intelligence to Tang Wu.

"The Ghost Tower? Able to dispel the aura of plague?"

Tang Wu frowned deeply.

He did personally order that they didn't need to care about the life or death of Linkleton City, but he didn't expect Fang Heng and the others to take advantage of the situation.

But even if Fang Heng really put in a lot of effort to solve the aura of plague, what about the other lords?

"What about the others! Even if Lord Chadwick is excusable, why have so many other lords sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue?"

"Your Majesty, there are rumors that Lord Fang Heng can help build Tier 2 mage towers in a very short period of time, and the mage towers can also dispel the aura of plague."

Ding Shixiu reported: "Currently, because the aura of plague is erupting all over the world, all the lords are in danger in order to prevent the spread of the aura of plague. In addition, the free construction of the Ghost Tower itself is extremely attractive, so all the lords are trying to befriend Lord Fang Heng, hoping to obtain the qualification to build a mage tower."

Pedley added from the side: "In addition, the Tianshu Institute has verified that Tang Mingyue is spreading the news that the number of Ghost Towers that can be built is limited, and the lords will be served on a first-come, first-served basis."

Listening to this, Tang Wu clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his body trembling slightly with anger.

Using the Ghost Tower to lure the lords into surrendering?

Hearing this, does it mean that most of the lords of the empire are preparing to defect to Tang Mingyue?

Just to build a few mage towers?

"What about the Mages Association! Why would they cooperate with Tang Mingyue!"

Tang Wu really couldn't understand it.

The Mages Association is so arrogant, they didn't even listen to the orders of the royal family before, why did they take the wrong medicine this time?

Choosing to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng so easily? Deliberately opposing him!?

Faced with the question, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Not to mention Tang Wu, the others couldn't figure it out either.

Seeing everyone like this, Tang Wu became even more angry and shouted, "Speak up! Why is no one speaking now!"

"Pedley! You speak! What did your Tianshu Institute find out!"

Pedley was named, his face stiffened, and he took half a step forward, explaining: "Your Majesty, we are also investigating this matter, suspecting that it may be related to Lord Fang Heng. In addition, we are certain that Lord Fang Heng has already assumed the position of Vice President of the Mages Association, and the Mages Association will vigorously promote necromancy recently."

Tang Wu gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Fang Heng!"

It's Fang Heng again!

He created the Land of Plague, he created the Ghost Tower, and now he wants to get involved in the Mages Association!

Tang Wu never expected that everything would collapse so quickly because of one Fang Heng!

With Fang Heng around, what's the point of him fighting for the throne! He should just surrender earlier!

In a moment of silence, Cardinal Karl Kila stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, I am afraid that all of this is Lord Fang Heng's plan."

Tang Wu's chest rose and fell, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Everyone also turned their attention to Karl Kila.

Karl Kila had been reinforcing the Holy Light Barrier before, and looked a little tired.

More of mental fatigue.

The Holy See has always regarded the undead as evil, and the propaganda of the threat of the undead for thousands of years has been very effective.

Unexpectedly, the Mages Association would openly promote necromancy this time! This undoubtedly made the entire Holy See feel a great crisis.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Ghost Tower cannot take effect on the aura of plague. Lord Fang Heng's spreading this rumor is probably to build momentum, in order to win the allegiance of more imperial lords."

"Such a strategy may be effective for a while, but it cannot deceive for a long time. As long as we wait a little longer, we can naturally find his flaws and give him a fatal blow!"

Tang Wu also calmed down after hearing this.

After thinking carefully, it seems to make sense.

These words have no practical effect, but they can slightly stabilize the somewhat collapsing mentality.

"Well, what you said makes some sense. I will send someone to clarify the rumors first."

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, we are already one step behind. Continuing to clarify the rumors now may not win the trust of more lords."

Tang Wu was already unhappy and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?"

"To share Your Majesty's worries, I previously discussed with Mr. Ding Shixiu and formulated three strategies for Your Majesty, the upper, middle, and lower strategies. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

"Oh?"

Tang Wu showed surprise and asked, "What are the three strategies? Tell me quickly!"

Karl Kila stepped aside and took half a step back, signaling advisor Ding Shixiu to step forward.

Ding Shixiu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Tianshu Institute has learned that there is some shortage of construction materials for the Ghost Tower. According to Tang Mingyue, it is because of the lack of magic cores. For this reason, Tang Mingyue has also offered a high price to purchase raw materials for making magic cores."

"The Mages Association actually handed over the recipe for making magic cores to Tang Mingyue. I will remember this debt first, and settle it with them slowly in the future."

Tang Wu temporarily endured this anger, gently tapping the armrest with his fingers, thinking and asking: "Are you saying that we can start from the raw materials to intercept them? The lords of the empire may have privately hidden a small part of the elemental crystals, but they may not listen to us."

"No, it's not like that, Your Majesty. As far as I know, there are still many elemental crystal bodies in the imperial inventory. We can instead go the other way and take this opportunity to trade the useless elemental crystals in the imperial inventory to them. Of course, we need to do things secretly, trading with Fang Heng in the name of an imperial lord."

"What are you talking about? Are you crazy!"

Tang Wu was stunned when he heard this. He felt that Ding Shixiu was crazy.

You give the enemy what the enemy lacks?

Are you sick?
