1114 Rejection
Upon hearing this, some feudal feudal lords immediately echoed, “That’s right, Lord Fang Heng. We have nothing to do anyway. Let’s stay and take a look.”
“Yes, we also want to stay and watch.”
Fang Heng had already noticed Ed on the way here.
This guy should be the player who triggered the hostile mission.
Fang Heng pondered for a while and replied, “I’m afraid we can’t stay here. The aura of the undead in the Land of Plague is very strong, and it’s harmful to the human body. Moreover, there’s no food supply here, not even a place to sleep.”
When the feudal lords heard that they couldn’t even eat or sleep in peace, they immediately stopped insisting.
“Forget it, let’s go back to Hani City first. We’ll visit when you’re done. It should be done in two days, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll come back in two days.”
[Hint: You have triggered the side mission-the feudal lords’ expectations.]
Mission title: The feudal lords’ expectations.
Mission difficulty: SS
Mission description: The feudal lords hope to be able to inspect the construction of the ghost tower.
Mission requirement: Complete the construction of the ghost tower in the Land of Plague within 2 days and pass the feudal lords’ inspection.
Mission reward: Friendship with the Empire and feudal lords, additional trial game time.
Failure penalty: Friendship with the feudal lords will decrease.
…
Two hours later, after touring the entire Land of Plague, the feudal lords were divided into two groups.
One of them had returned to the city due to some matters in the territory, while the other returned to Hani City, preparing to go to the Land of Plague to check on the ghost tower’s construction progress in two days.
After Prilla Gaming Guild tried their best to calm down the feudal lords who were angry at the deception, they returned to Hani City.
The things that happened along the way made them feel a ball of fire in their hearts.
The players wanted to expose Fang Heng’s true identity. However, they did not expect that after following Fang Heng into the Land of Plague for a while, these feudal lords seemed to have been brainwashed and rushed to sign an agreement with Fang Heng to build a mage tower.
On the contrary, they helped Fang Heng to promote his products successfully?
Damn it!
After such a mess, the favorability between the Gaming Guild and the various feudal lords had dropped by a huge amount.
Not only did they fail to complete the mission, but they also lost a large sum of money!
Unlike most of the players, Ed was very calm. He re-checked the mission description.
He didn’t think the situation was that bad.
The mission had not failed yet, and they still had time to redeem themselves.
And…
Ed narrowed his eyes.
The enlightenment stone!
Compared to this mission, the information on the enlightenment stone was the biggest reward!
He had wanted to stay in the Land of Plague to obtain the enlightenment stone.
“Everyone, we still have a chance.” Ed looked around at the players from the guild. “The Land of Plague is indeed strong. We’ve underestimated them.”
“Don’t tell me that it’s just…”
Everyone felt extremely aggrieved.
“No, we still have a chance.”
The players all turned to look at Ed.
A chance?
“When I was in the Land of Plague, I paid special attention to it. The defense of the Land of Plague is not strong, and there are no people from the Empire to help guard it.” Ed narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “We can think of a way to destroy the Land of Plague.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
At first, they felt that this idea was a little crazy.
However, after thinking about it carefully, ever since the Empire army withdrew from the village, there were only wandering zombies and low city walls left in the Land of Plague.
Such a defensive ability was almost equivalent to nothing!
As long as all the magic cores stored in the Land of Plague were destroyed, the Land of Plague would lose the ability to build mage towers, which would naturally break the agreement signed between Fang Heng and the feudal lords.
It was crazy, but also very effective!
Or even!
They could also plunder the magic core that they had been dreaming of from Fang Heng’s hands!
But could they really do it?
“I know this is very difficult. The Land of Plague is far from as simple as they seem on the surface. We definitely can’t do it with our strength alone, so we need teammates.”
Ed licked the corner of his mouth and looked at Sarwen, who had just entered the meeting room. He asked, “Sarwen, have you contacted Mr. Wan?”
As the leading player’s guild, the players’ first priority was profit. As for cooperating with the barbarians, it was not impossible. They might even take the initiative to try to contact the barbarians.
If there was a mission, he would naturally try to receive it.
Just a month ago, they triggered a mission prompt related to the enlightenment stone when they came into contact with the barbarians.
However, they did not expect to find the enlightenment stone in the underground world!
Sarwen’s face was a little stiff, “President, Mr. Wan has rejected our proposal to cooperate.”
He rejected it?
“Why?” Ed asked, surprised;
“Mr. Wan said that the Land of Plague was not simple.”
Sarwen recalled what he had said to Wangnet and frowned, “He warned us to be careful and not act rashly before we were fully prepared. However, he also promised that if we could help him obtain the enlightenment stone, he would still provide us with generous compensation.”
Everyone could not help but look puzzled.
Wangnet was one of the successors of the barbarian leader.
Ever since they suffered a crushing defeat in a battle with the humans a few years ago, they had disappeared without a trace.
And more than a month ago, the team had come into contact with him through various pre-missions and even triggered a mission related to the enlightenment stone.
The rewards given by the mission were unusually generous.
The entire team was moved.
“President, Mr. Wan is not willing to cooperate. Let’s go on our own!”
“No, the risk is too high.”
Ed rubbed his temples.
He was already afraid of the Land of Plague.
Now, even Wangnet was extremely careful with the Land of Plague.
This only increased the uneasiness in his heart.
After some thought, Ed said, “Since Wangnet is not willing, what about the other barbarians? I’m sure there will be many people interested in the enlightenment stone.”
“Brother,” said Sarwen, “We haven’t been in contact with the other barbarians for long. It’s not safe to work with them. It’s very risky.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Ed lowered his head and thought carefully. When he raised his head again, he had already made a decision, “High risk, high reward.”
Everyone was calculating in their hearts.
“President, there’s a situation!” A player rushed into the meeting room. “We just found out that Hani City was originally one of the first targets of the barbarian army. It was that necromancer who suddenly appeared in the village and led the Tianli Mercenary Group and the Empire guards to defend the main city, completely defeating the barbarian army!”
Defeat the barbarian army?
The news was so shocking that the room fell silent for a moment.
With just that run-down village?
Could he defeat the entire barbarian army?
Was there a problem somewhere?
The players were shocked and exchanged glances with each other.
