1266 Divided

High up in the sky, riding on the backs of the high-level falcons, Ed and the other players were still in shock.

This trip to the underground palace was too exciting.

Looking from above, the black plague aura was spreading from the ground, gradually filling up the inner city of the Imperial City.

Before he could rest for a moment, several lines of mission hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has successfully killed Salvador and successfully triggered the follow-up mission-the divided Empire.]

Mission title: The divided Empire

Mission difficulty: SS→SSS

Mission requirements: Please assist Tang Mingyue in controlling the human Empire.

Mission reward: ???

Additional explanation: You have chosen a female successor. The difficulty of the mission has increased.

Several players who were sitting on the back of the giant falcon with Ed saw the game hint. They first looked at Tang Mingyue, then at Fang Heng.

They had already realized that ever since the barbarians invaded the Empire, everything seemed to be under Lord Fang Heng’s control.

This included the early activation of the abyssal demon and the leakage of the plague aura.

Anyone would have thought that Fang Heng was the one behind the scene just now.

They wanted to know what Fang Heng’s next step was.

Also, what was with the plague aura? Why was it released in advance?

And why did he choose to be loyal to Tang Mingyue?

After all, Tang Mo was a man and had a high reputation in the Empire. He was more suitable to be the leader of the Empire.

Fang Heng was also being stared at by everyone. He was a little puzzled and could not help but shift his gaze to Wei Tao, his eyes carrying a little inquiry.

He wanted to ask Wei Tao what he was doing with this group of players.

Didn’t they say that everything should be focused on the trial mission and that there shouldn’t be any complications? Why did he say one thing and do another? Why did Tang Mo suddenly fight for the Empire’s imperial power with the players?

What was he trying to do?

As for that plague aura, why was it released in advance?

What were those guys thinking?

There were players present, so Fang Heng didn’t say it out loud. He only tried to communicate with Warren with his eyes.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng did not see the answer in Warren’s eyes. Instead, he saw a pair of equally puzzled eyes.

“Ahem.”

Sensing the strange silence, Mo Jiawei couldn’t help but cough and ask, “Fang Heng, what’s the situation?”

Mo Jiawei’s curiosity was piqued.

Did he have to create such a grand scene? Did he actually release the abyssal demon sealed underground in advance so as to destroy the entire Empire?

Fang Heng took a deep breath and said, “The plague aura leaked out ahead of time. It’s more terrifying than we expected. Anyway, let’s return to the Land of Plague first. We have to think of a way to deal with the abyssal demon.”

…

Hani City was a city surrounded by the vines of the sacred tree.

Upon entering Hani City, the players were shocked. In just a short day, the city had completely changed!

The city was completely covered in greenery. The buildings on both sides of the street were covered with vines and moss. The entire city was filled with the smell of trees.

In the conference hall, Fang Heng finally learned about the players’ overall plan from Ed.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Fang Heng was speechless for a moment.

When did he hint to Ed and the others to take control of the Empire?

He just wanted to cheat the players of their money and resources!

Wei Tao was too much.

As a dignified World Lord and a talent that the Federation had nurtured for many years, he was so easily fooled by the players?

The Federation was getting worse by the day.

Fang Heng sighed in his heart. He could not help but look at Wei Tao with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing that Fang Heng was silent, Ed couldn’t help but cough lightly to break the silence. He said seriously, “Lord Fang Heng, we received intelligence from the Empire’s capital not long ago. Tang Wu has announced that he has officially succeeded the throne and listed us as traitors.”

“A few feudal lords of the Empire who have a deep friendship with Tang Wu have already sworn allegiance to him.”

“The Holy Court also announced that the Land of Plague was the cause of the plague aura, leading to the unrest in the Empire. Most of the feudal lords in the Empire are still watching the division of the Empire, but they are more inclined to Tang Wu. ”

When Mo Jiawei heard this, he was rather displeased.

In the past, in the elementary Vampire Apocalypse game, the Holy Court had never treated humans as humans, and it was about the same now.

“What do the abyssal demon have to do with us? Are they going to pour dirty water on us? Maybe they leaked it themselves. Damn it! There’s no good person in the Holy Court.”

Mo Jiawei couldn’t help but curse. He didn’t expect that ten minutes ago, he also thought that the plague aura was Fang Heng’s work.

Ed was also very surprised when he learned that Fang Heng was not behind the plague. He continued, “The other thing is the spread of plague aura. The plague aura has spread all over the world, including the capital of the Empire. Especially in Lincoln City, where a large-scale spread of plague aura has occurred.”

Warren frowned and said, “I’m afraid there’s a problem. I’ve strengthened the seal of Lincoln City so it won’t break naturally in a short period of time. I’m afraid someone is behind it…”

As Warren spoke, he couldn’t help but reveal a worried expression. He raised his head to look at Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, “Perhaps someone wants to release the abyssal demon.”

Ed and the other players were worried.

It was so difficult.

At this point in the game, they had to deal with Tang Wu, who was fighting with them for control of the Empire and also find a way to deal with the abyssal demon.

The pressure was immense.

Everyone looked at Fang Heng.

Lord Fang Heng had always been a strategist and had calculated everything clearly. He must have been prepared.

“Lord Fang Heng, we need to act as soon as possible. Otherwise, more and more feudal lords of the Empire will pledge their loyalty to Tang Wu. The spread of the plague aura is also increasing. Our situation will only become more and more difficult.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Fang Heng agreed.

He felt that controlling the Empire did not sound very reliable.

However, the players in front of him were clearly fooled.

They had already bet on everything, and they had already come to this point.

Now they were implying that they had mistaken him and that he never wanted to seize the Empire?

Not good.

Ed noticed Fang Heng’s strange expression and asked carefully, “Lord Fang Heng, then we should…”

After thinking about it, Fang Heng decided to be an ostrich.

He needed to stabilize these players first and focus on dealing with the abyssal demon in secret.

The main mission of the trial was to kill the abyssal demon.

The benefits of killing the demon were extremely great. Not only could they increase the overall trial score to SSS, but he could also obtain other rewards from killing the abyssal demon.

Two for one.

He had to think of a way to get his hands on this.

As for the internal strife of the Empire and the matter of tricking the various feudal lords into swearing their loyalty, it would take time and effort. He did not have that much effort to complete it.

He could only stall for time.

Anyway, after eliminating the abyssal demon, Ed’s player team would also receive a portion of the rewards, which would more or less make up for their losses.
