Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game Novel - Chapter 1305
1305 All in One Stake
Warren’s heart sank.
The awakening of the abyssal demon was too sudden!
“How much time do we have?”
Fang Heng glanced in the direction where the plague aura was leaking and said in a deep voice, “If we continue at this rate and with no external power interfering, we have about five more days.”
!!
Warren’s expression changed several times.
In just five days?
There was really too little they could do in such a short time.
At most, he would set up a small control-type alchemy magic array around the area.
Warren knew very well that the alchemy magic array that he had rushed to make had very little restriction on the abyssal demon. It could easily crush them with a slap.
What should he do?
Warren felt his throat dry up. He looked up at Fang Heng and saw that Fang Heng’s expression was grave. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
Fang Heng was also under too much pressure.
At this point, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Fang Heng did not pay much attention to Warren’s expression. He was stroking his chin and thinking carefully.
The mission was very difficult, the time was very tight, and the chances of winning were not high.
However, it was not the endgame.
He also had a trump card.
What he needed to consider now was how to link up his trump cards to maximize the effect.
Just as he was thinking, Fang Heng heard the cry of griffins coming from high up in the sky.
The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time.
Above them, two royal guards jumped down from the backs of the griffins that were circling in the sky. They came to Fang Heng and reported on one knee, “Lord Fang Heng, Her Highness Mingyue has summoned you urgently. She hopes that you can return to Hani City as soon as possible. It’s a rather urgent matter.”
“Hmm? Did she say why?”
“Yes, we received news that Tang Wu has gathered a large number of the Empire’s elites and is heading toward Hani City. Commander Ed has also confirmed that the royal guards and a large number of the Empire’s soldiers have been mobilized. Their destination is very likely to be Hani City. We believe that they might make a move on the sacred tree in the Land of Plague.”
This was troublesome!
The abyssal demon was about to break free from the seal, but Tang Wu was pulling all sorts of tricks to complicate matters for him.
Fang Heng was speechless.
However, since it had already happened, he had to find a way to resolve it.
It just so happened that he was going to return to the Land of Plague to give Qiu Yaokang the live sample of the abyssal demon he had just obtained.
“I understand. I’ll be there soon.”
“Yes, My Lord!”
Fang Heng nodded and looked at Warren. He said, “You must watch the seal. Don’t let anyone get close. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll be here.”
…
In the capital of the Empire, the royal guards led by Xiao Yun were making the final preparations before setting off.
The president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, walked towards Xiao Yun with a few people.
Xiao Yun didn’t like Ovian very much. His face was cold and his displeasure was written all over his face. He asked, “How is it? Is everything ready? Don’t make another mistake.”
“Of course.”
The president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, was as confident as ever. He said, “Just do your job and leave the sacred tree to me. This is a method I found in an ancient book. It can restrain all field spells. Once the alchemy magic array is completed, any field spells will dissipate. As for Fang Heng, I’ll leave him to you.”
“You don’t have to worry about the rest. As long as you can destroy the sacred tree, heh, it’s just a mere Land of Plague.”
Xiao Yun mocked.
His gaze swept across everyone behind him.
Tang Wu had used all his trump cards in this ambush!
Apart from the Alchemy Society, the accompanying team also had the elite private army that Tang Wu had gathered for many years, as well as the soldiers recruited from the various feudal lords, and the Holy Paladins and judges sent by the Holy Court to support them.
Even the Empire’s sword saint Chepo was persuaded by Tang Wu and agreed to join his team to deal with the Land of Plague.
What was left was the biggest trump card of this trip.
Xiao Yun said in a deep voice, “Please welcome the Council of Elders!”
Gernot, the consul, walked forward under the escort of the soldiers and said in a clear voice, “The holy artifact, please!”
“Yes, sir!”
Behind them, more than ten Empire soldiers worked together to carry out a huge wooden box that had been sealed for a long time.
Xiao Yun stared at the wooden box, his eyes shining.
Sealed in the wooden box was the dragon-suppressing holy artifact passed down by the ancestors of the Empire!
The sealed holy weapon had always been stored with the Empire’s Council of Elders.
Because it was too dangerous, the terrifying strength created by the holy weapon would even cause great damage to the person who used it. It was against the heavens, so the former king had ordered it to be sealed and never used.
This time, because of Fang Heng, Tang Wu and the Council of Elders chose to take out the dragon-suppressing holy artifact as well.
Ding Shixiu, who was beside Xiao Yun, also took a deep breath.
In less than a day, Tang Wu’s reputation among the feudal lords of the Empire had plummeted. On the other hand, Tang Mingyue’s popularity increased.
Tang Wu was already in a complete mess.
He desperately needed a victory to prove himself.
He had already put all his eggs in one basket!
Gather all the strength in order to break through Hani City in one fell swoop!
How could Ding Shixiu not know the crisis Tang Wu was facing?
Feeling helpless, Tang Wu made another extremely risky choice.
Ding Shixiu didn’t think that these people alone could exterminate the Land of Plague.
Now, all hope was attributed to the dragon-suppressing holy artifact.
There was a chance! There would definitely be a chance!
…
At the same time, Fang Heng had just rushed back to Hani City through the ghost tower’s teleportation passage.
“Lord Fang Heng.”
The royal guards were already waiting outside the mage tower to welcome them and say, “Her Highness Mingyue has just gone to the basement. She instructed us to bring you there. Please follow us.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
There was a secret underground area under the City Lord’s mansion in Hani City.
Fang Heng followed the soldiers into the City Lord’s mansion. As soon as he entered the underground passage, he felt a spiritual power fluctuation coming from afar.
Soon, Fang Heng arrived at the underground hall that had been temporarily requisitioned.
A massive magic array was carved on the floor, covering almost two-thirds of the hall.
The high-tier mages from the Mage Association gathered in a big circle, concentrating their spiritual power to control the magic array.
Under Tang Mingyue’s tremendous spiritual power, many magic core crystals condensed in the center of the magic array.
Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.
Amazing!
Tang Mingyue was refining a magic core!
“Phew!”
The magic array slowly stopped operating.
Tang Mingyue noticed the person who came and stopped pouring her spiritual power. She took a deep breath and maintained her calm and indifferent appearance.
“Lord Fang Heng, you’re finally back. I have something to discuss with you.”
Tang Mingyue waved her hand, signaling the guards to leave with the mages of the Mage Association.
“Everyone has worked hard. Guards, take the distinguished guests of the Mage Association to rest first. We will continue tomorrow. ”
After everyone left, Tang Mingyue stared at Fang Heng for a long time as if she wanted to study him thoroughly.
“What’s wrong?”
“What do you mean? You really killed the archbishop of the Holy Court? How did you do it?”
“Oh…” Fang Heng recalled the process of killing Karkkila and broke out in a cold sweat. He nodded and said, “I admit that I have a thing for gambling…”
