1106 A Guarantee
“How did you get discovered?”
“I’m not sure. It seems like there’s someone behind this.”
“This time, the leader is Lord Brent. He is very prestigious among the major feudal lords in the Empire. After the feudal lords felt that they were deceived, they personally came with their guards to demand an explanation.”
Fang Heng, this matter has been blown up. The royal family might hold me accountable. Also, many feudal lords are rushing to the Mage Association after learning about this.
“There are also many feudal lords who have not reached an agreement with us to build the building. They will soon come to the assembly point with the Mage Association to confront us.”
Tang Mingyue looked at Fang Heng and said anxiously, “Fang Heng, don’t worry about this mess. Follow me and run away. Let’s go to the royal treasury and see if we can cheat some…”
“Don’t be in such a hurry.” Fang Heng waved his hand, indicating for Tang Mingyue to calm down. “Did we lie to those feudal lords?”
Tang Mingyue was a little confused, “You didn’t? ”
“We do want to cooperate with the various feudal lords of the Empire to build the ghost tower. We are the righteous side, and everything we do is for the Empire, to build a strong line of defense for the Empire.”
Tang Mingyue blinked.
Was he lying to himself?
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. It’s too early to give up now. We still have a chance.”
Fang Heng said and looked into the distance.
“The people from the Four Seas Trading Company were already waiting in place, waiting for the materials to arrive before setting off together.”
The preparations for the cave-dwelling beasts should be almost complete.
….
Outside the forest of the assembly point, the Mage Association escorted the Four Seas Trading Company’s supply team to the material assembly point where Fang Heng was.
Randolf had a headache.
Not long ago, Lord Brent brought a large group of feudal lords to find him and said that necromancer Fang Heng might be a liar. The Empire had no intention of building a team of mages.
Fang Heng didn’t have the ability to build the ghost tower in large quantities!
A liar?
Even though Fang Heng had many suspicious points, Randolf didn’t think so.
Lord Brent was a veteran feudal lord of the Empire. Under his call, the feudal lords united and clamored to seek an explanation from Fang Heng.
Randolf also wanted to solve the problem, so he appeased the feudal lords and brought them to the material assembly point to find Fang Heng.
Of course, the elite guards of the feudal lords also followed along.
Along the way, more and more feudal lords joined the party, and Randolf watched as the party expanded from the original 50 to 600 members.
It was ten times more.
The feudal lords’ trust in Ed increased as they watched him walk further and further into the dark forest.
This forest seemed to be very well hidden, very suitable for an ambush!
Hence, Ed’s judgment was very accurate!
The necromancer’s goal was really to seize resources!
“Luckily, you reminded me, Ed, or else more feudal lords would have been tricked.”
“I was a little suspicious at the time. If it wasn’t for the royal family’s guarantee…”
The Empire’s suzerains who came with him felt that there was something wrong with Fang Heng. They complained all the way and were angry.
They had actually been tricked!
The most infuriating thing was that the magic seal and personal signature of Her Highness Mingyue could not be faked!
But who cared?
Losing some money was a small matter. If word of this got out, the outside world would only say that the feudal lords had been cheated by an unknown necromancer for some small profits!
After signing the contract with Fang Heng, they would become the laughingstock of the other feudal lords and nobles!
Were they shameless?
“This matter isn’t over yet. Once I catch that liar myself, I’ll personally go to the royal family to demand an explanation!”
“That’s right, our life is getting worse by the day. What do they want? Are you trying to squeeze our hard-earned money dry?”
Lord Brent was a feudal lord, and at the same time, he also had part of the Empire’s bloodline in him, so he had a prominent reputation in the entire Empire.
“Hmph, don’t worry. When I return, I will personally look for Her Highness. I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation!”
The players from the Prilla Guild were in a good mood as they listened to the furious discussion of the feudal lords.
They felt that they had already won this round.
“My feudal lords,” Ed advised, “Please don’t be in a hurry to make your judgment. Her Highness Mingyue may have been deceived by outsiders.”
When they received the news that Princess Mingyue had escaped from the royal family, the players of the Prilla Gaming Guild were ready to pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
They heard that when Princess Mingyue left, she was in a hurry.
She was obviously feeling guilty!
She was going to run!
The players had already guessed the follow-up mission, and there were only two possibilities.
First, they ran to the target location of the mission aggressively, only to find that the scammer had already escaped, triggering the follow-up mission to continue searching for the mastermind behind the scenes.
Of course, there was a second possibility that had a lower probability.
The necromancer was very bold and decided to fight with his life on the line. He would kill them at the ambush point and steal their goods.
In order to prevent Fang Heng from doing anything desperate, the elite team of Ed’s guild had almost turned out at full strength this time, and the feudal lords had also brought their accompanying teams of guards.
How could a team of 600 to 700 elite players possibly lose to a single necromancer?
Therefore, this wave was in the bag!
Unlike the other players, Ed did not speak much at the moment as he felt that the mission this time was too smooth.
It was so smooth that it made him feel a little uneasy.
He couldn’t help but think of the worst possible scenario.
When they arrived at the gathering point, the next mission they would trigger would likely be to track down the criminal.
This was troublesome.
They knew very little about necromancers. As for Her Highness Mingyue, she had a very high status, so it would be very difficult to get information from her.
The Wantong Chamber of Commerce, which was responsible for the supply and transportation of materials, had a complicated mood at the moment.
Hearing that Fang Heng might be a liar, they were a little flustered.
These feudal lords were not people to be trifled with. What if their chamber of commerce took the blame and lost money?
Everyone on the team had their own thoughts. They gradually went deeper into the forest, raised their vigilance, and prepared to deal with an ambush.
Soon, they found a transport team of more than ten people at the scheduled assembly point not far ahead.
“Eh? He didn’t run?”
Ed’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately gave his teammates a look.
“Yes,” Maliku nodded. “I’ve used magic eyes to investigate. There’s no ambush nearby.”
“Her Highness Mingyue is also on the team.”
Lord Brent frowned and raised his hand.
The guards of the feudal lord who had come with the team quickly stepped forward and surrounded Fang Heng and his group in the middle, looking vigilant.
Fang Heng’s side didn’t take any action and let everyone surround them.
Lord Brent came forward with many feudal lords and cupped his hands. Your Highness, you’re here too? ”
Tang Mingyue did not recognize Lord Brent, so she hummed softly in acknowledgment, her face showing her displeasure.
“I can’t? What’s the meaning of bringing so many people here? Are you trying to capture me?”
