1227 Mission Guide
The earth shook, and dark green arms reached out from the rolling soil.
With the wails of the undead, zombies crawled out of the muddy ground one after another.
They wailed, stood up, and staggered toward the city wall.
The arrows from the guardian army’s arrows on the city wall landed on the zombies, but they seemed to deal no damage. The zombies simply ignored the arrows and continued to walk forward.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Chadwick’s forehead, and his previous agitation gradually subsided. Instead, an unspeakable fear of the undead creatures rose in his heart.
“Retreat! Hurry up! Retreat! Let’s give up on the city! Retreat!”
Soon, as the Empire’s armies left, the battle on the city wall gradually stopped.
Mo Jiawei led the players up the city wall, drew a flag, and stuck it on the top of the city wall.
“Hehe, it’s a piece of cake.”
The accompanying players were unusually excited and couldn’t help but laugh cheerfully.
“We won! Hahaha!”
“So this is the Empire’s army? They’re just laughable.”
“Brother, you’re a little too arrogant.”
“This is so boring. They can’t even take a beating. I wasn’t even serious…”
In the elementary games, the players could not experience the thrill of attacking a city.
Following this, lines of game hints appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.
[Hint: Your zombie clones have been resurrected.]
[Hint: The player’s team has obtained the control authority of Lincoln City.]
[Hint: The Empire conquest mode cannot be triggered in the current trial environment.]
[Hint: Your friendship with the various feudal lords of the Empire has changed.]
[Hint: Your friendship with the Empire has dropped greatly.]
[Hint: Your actions have incurred the displeasure of the Empire’s feudal lords.]
[Hint: Many of the Empire feudal lords’ armies and the Empire’s direct army corps are sending reinforcements to Lincoln City (click here for more details).]
He had won.
Fang Heng looked at the game log message on his retina and heaved a sigh of relief.
It took more time than he had expected.
“The Lickers’ attack power still needs to be improved. I’ll have to wait. After this trial is over, I’ll fuse the Lickers with the crystallized virus’ attack power. At that time, the zombie clones’ attack power will be improved.”
While thinking, Fang Heng controlled the fusion Tyrant form under his feet and moved forward.
Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei’s shoulder after he leaped onto the city wall.
“Let’s go and check the supplies.”
“Alright!” Mo Jiawei looked excited and nodded his head heavily.
Very good, it was time for the stage of going through the spoils of war, which was what he loved the most.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Empire’s follow-up reinforcements had not arrived yet, Fang Heng immediately closed the city gate after obtaining the control authority of Lincoln City. At the same time, he controlled the zombie clones to start repairing the city wall.
The remaining Lickers were split into two groups. One group would clear out the remaining Empire forces in the city, while the other group would head to the periphery of the city to investigate.
Without the protection of the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, Fang Heng didn’t have much hope in maintaining his occupation of Lincoln City. He only wanted to seize the time and finish the mission before the enemy arrived. At the same time, he wanted to build a mage tower and teleport more supplies back.
Soon, under Mo Jiawei’s lead, Fang Heng arrived at a half-abandoned mine in the periphery of the city.
Looking at the super-sized iron mine in front of him, a hint of surprise couldn’t help but appear in Fang Heng’s eyes.
Such a large mining area?
“Mr. Fang, I’ve asked around. This mine was discovered by the Empire about a year ago, and it’s related to the abnormal activity in the depths of the ley lines. The feudal lord found a large number of high-concentration crystals in the mine.”
Mo Jiawei was a little excited to see such a large area of high-concentration crystal mine belonging to them now.
“After Feudal Lord Chadwick discovered the mine, he ordered his men to mine, but soon, they encountered a big problem in the mining process and the mining was stopped by the Holy Court. I think it has something to do with infection. After that, this area was sealed off by the Empire, and all mining activities were stopped. When we first found this place, many believers of the Holy Court were standing guard nearby.”
Fang Heng hummed in agreement and looked up at the iron mine’s entrance.
After the city was taken down, a few Holy Court believers who did not manage to escape in time were captured by the players.
Upon seeing Fang Heng, the believers struggled and shouted again, “Evil necromancy mages! You will regret this! This mine has been occupied by the devil, and entering the mine without authority will bring destruction upon the whole world! You will bring disaster to mankind!”
Fang Heng remained unmoved and sized up the entrance of the mine from a distance.
On his retina, the trigger point of the mission target was pointing to the depths of the mine.
“Let’s go, bring them along and we’ll take a look.”
Fang Heng controlled the accompanying zombie clones to hold shovels and pickaxes as they followed the players into the mine.
[Hint: You have entered a special area.]
[Hint: You have been affected by an unknown infection.]
[Hint: Due to your special physique, you are immune to the special infection effect.]
The entrance of the iron mine wasn’t deep. A moment after Fang Heng entered, game hint warnings appeared on his retina.
Fang Heng followed the game hint arrow on his retina until he came to a rock wall.
The mission notification pointed to the depths of the rock wall.
Fang Heng reached out his hand and touched the rock wall.
The mine had a large output, and one could see with the naked eye that there were many raw stones embedded in the rock wall.
It seemed that the mission target was still deeper and needed to be excavated.
The few Holy Court members who were dragged into the cave became visibly nervous as they muttered prayers.
Mo Jiawei interrogated the people from the Holy Court, then explained, “Fang Heng, we’ve just interrogated some people in the nearby city, and what these believers said is not wrong. The Holy Court believes that this cave has been eroded by evil beings and that one’s mind will be controlled if they stay in the cave for a long time.”
“After that, Feudal Lord Chadwick ordered the mine to be sealed off, and the believers of the Holy Court spontaneously guarded the nearby area, preventing anyone from entering the mine. The people in the surrounding cities are also very wary of this place, so few come here.”
As Mo Jiawei spoke, he took a glance at the iron mine and said carefully, “I’m afraid it has something to do with the “demonic seed”.”
“Yes, the mission location is behind the rock wall. Let’s retreat first and dig a passage to take a look.”
While they were talking, the zombie clones behind them raised their shovels and pickaxes and began to dig at the rock wall.
Seeing Fang Heng excavating the mine by force, the believers of the Holy Court began to scream and struggle, trying to resist, but they were held down by the players.
Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling the players to leave the mine first. He then began to set up the production line.
“Hmm… I still have to find a way to get some mining carts over…” Fang Heng muttered to himself and continued to control the zombie clones to dig and transport the stones in batches.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has started to dig and has obtained a low-concentration energy crystal *1]
[Hint: Your zombie clone has started to dig and…]
