For now, he shall take it one step at a time.
He would have to construct a Tier 2 mage tower first.
Fang Heng didn’t think too much about it. He reached out his hand and clicked on the ‘accept surrender’ option.
[Hint: You have gained control of Hani City.]
[Hint: The player’s affinity with the Empire has dropped greatly. The affinity between you and some of the Empire’s feudal lords has changed.]
[Hint: The player’s reputation on the continent has increased.]
[Hint: The player has created the Land of Plague and occupied the Empire’s city, Hani City. Hani City has become the Land of Plague’s territory. The Empire and some of the game forces will issue hostile missions. Some players may receive missions related to their enemy. Please be careful.]
Fang Heng couldn’t help sighing in his heart when he saw the game prompt that had been triggered.
Trouble still came.
In the current trial environment, the more contact he had with the players, the easier it was for the game to judge that he was using the players for the trial, and thus be punished by the game.
To him, the players were the most unstable time bomb.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, stopped attacking and quickly surrounded the city.
Fang Heng climbed up the city wall under the escort of the vines.
He soon saw Brian and his men walking towards him.
The Empire’s soldiers had already laid down their weapons.
“Lord Fang Heng, we meet again.”
Seeing Fang Heng wearing a mask, Brian revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Heng was the only one.
Yet, he had taken over their entire city by himself.
Fang Heng waved his hand, “Would you believe me if I said that all of this is a misunderstanding?”
Brian’s face was bitter.
You’ve won, so you can say whatever you want.
It was also a misunderstanding that the Empire’s Imperial mausoleum was blown up.
“Of course, it’s all a misunderstanding. I only hope that my Lord will not make things difficult for the residents of the city. They have not done anything wrong.”
“Naturally.”
Fang Heng didn’t know what Brian was thinking, and he didn’t bother to spend time explaining. He didn’t even want Hani City.
“Where are the supplies that my feudal lord friends sent? I remember that I entrusted the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Tianli Mercenary Group to help me collect supplies, but I haven’t seen them for a while, so I came to Hani City to look for them.”
The smile on Brian’s face stiffened, and he said, “Please follow me to the City Lord’s hall. I’ll go get someone immediately.”
…
In the prison, the Tianli Mercenary Group members who were locked up felt uneasy.
The commotion outside seemed to be getting louder and louder.
More than three minutes ago, the few remaining guards in the prison had also completely left.
Could it be…
Ma Xiaowan suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that the Land of Plague had made a move on Hani City?
He dared to do this!
Suddenly, the expression of a young man standing against the wall in the prison room changed. He took a few steps back and asked in a deep voice, “What is that? You guys, look!”
Ma Xiaowan looked in the direction that the person was pointing at, and her face immediately revealed a strange expression.
Green vines and leaves grew out of the cracks in the stone walls of the prison!
The branches and leaves of the vines grew rapidly, spreading toward the people locked up in the prison at a speed visible to the naked eye!
At that moment, Ma Xiaowan’s heart was moved.
Two words suddenly appeared in her mind.
The ‘sacred tree’!
The Land of Plague still made a move?
“Chi…”
The protective rune on Ma Xiaowan’s body emitted a faint light.
These runes were previously provided by Fang Heng for the mercenary group to enter and exit the forest of the Land of Plague.
Under the influence of the light, the vines stopped growing and shrank back into the cracks in the wall.
There was no mistake!
The vines reacted to the runes of the Land of Plague!
Could it really be Fang Heng?
The undead actually dared to attack Hani City?
No one spoke, and the entire prison was eerily quiet.
Everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at Ma Xiaowan.
Just as everyone was at a loss, hurried footsteps came from the distance.
“Hurry up!”
More than ten royal guards hurried over.
Seeing that Ma Xiaowan and the others were safe and sound in the prison, the leader of the guards was relieved.
“Hurry up! What are you doing? Open the door!”
The prison guards quickly reacted and found the key to open the prison door while trembling.
The head guard looked at Ma Xiaowan and the others, who were a little bewildered, and said in a deep voice, “Hani City was attacked by the Land of Plague not long ago, and the City Lord has surrendered. Now, Hani City is the territory of the Land of Plague, and Lord Fang Heng wants to see you.”
What?
Even though she had some guesses in her heart before she heard the news with her own ears, Ma Xiaowan couldn’t help but open her mouth, and her eyes were full of shock.
The entire city has been taken down by him…
The head guard urged, “The feudal lord is in a hurry to see you, hurry up!”
Under the urging of the guards, Ma Xiaowan and the Tianli Mercenary Group were brought to the City Lord’s mansion.
She had been muddleheaded all the way here, and she was very nervous, not knowing how to face the situation.
In the beginning, she just wanted to cooperate with the Land of Plague to make a sum of money and leave after this.
Why did it feel like they were about to get caught up in a dispute between the Empire and the undead rebel army?
While they were still in a daze, the team had already been brought to the City Lord’s mansion.
Then, Ma Xiaowan saw Fang Heng sitting on the seat of the City Lord.
When Fang Heng saw Ma Xiaowan, he quickly glanced at her and asked anxiously, “Have you gathered the materials needed to build the Tier 2 mage tower?”
Ma Xiaowan was stunned.
She didn’t expect that Fang Heng would be most concerned about the construction resources.
Shouldn’t they be thinking about how to deal with the Empire’s army?
“Eh? Is there a problem with the supplies?”
Ma Xiaowan felt a burning pressure from Fang Heng’s gaze and whispered, “All, all…”
“Ahem.” Brian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was glad that he didn’t rush to touch the supplies and answered first.
“My Lord, the Tianli Mercenary Group’s resources have been seized not long ago. Please rest assured that all the resources have been stored in the warehouse. I can ensure you their safety.”
“Very good. The resources need to be transported back to the Land of Plague immediately.”
Fang Heng continued to look at Ma Xiaowan and said, “During this period of time, there will be an endless stream of supplies being transported into Hani City as a transit point. I need the Tianli Mercenary Group to follow the contract and continue to deliver the supplies. City Lord Brian will assist you.”
Ma Xiaowan felt as if there was something in her throat as she carefully glanced at Brian.
Brian felt bitter, but he nodded and said, “I’ll definitely cooperate.”
Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath and looked at Fang Heng again.
A very strong intuition rose in her heart.
Taking down Hani City was only the first step of Fang Heng as a feudal lord.
He had a bigger plan!
The construction materials were the evidence!
Perhaps she could witness the coming of a new era if she followed Fang Heng.
